Effects of PDS on rat brain cortical nuclear factor kappa B in LPS shock

AIM:To explore the molecular mechanism of brain tissue injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS),the effects of panaxadiol (PDS) on the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in cerebral cortex of rat with LPS shock were studied. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into LPS roup,LPS+dexamethasone group,LPS+PDS group and control group. The DNA binding activity and protein expression of NF-κB were observed. These indices were assayed at 1 h and 4 h after intravenous injection of LPS (4 mg·kg^-1). RESULTS:EMSA showed that PDS inhibited NF-κB DNA-binding activity in nuclear extracts at both 1 h and 4 h after LPS injection,compared with the LPS group (P<0.01). Western blotting showed that PDS down-regulated the expression of p65 and p50 protein in the nuclear extracts compared with the LPS group. However,the expression of p65 and p50 protein from cytosolic extracts did not show any significant change. CONCLUSION:PDS may alleviate brain injury by inhibiting NF-κB activation.

BIOLOG在土壤微生物群落功能多样性研究中的应用

目的研究海南热带地区典型植被类型土壤微生物群落结构特征,揭示植被特征和土壤理化特征对土壤微生物群落的影响。方法利用 BIOLOG-ECO 技术,对海南热带地区6种典型植被类型的土壤微生物功能多样性进行研究。结果不同植被类型土壤微生物的平均每孔颜色变化率(average well color development,AWCD)曲线基本一致,但碳源利用能力强弱有别。不同植被类型土壤192 h处的AWCD值大小顺序为：混交林>半红树林>次生林>椰子林>湿加松林>木麻黄林。不同林分类型对六大类主要的碳源利用率存在差异,混交林、半红树林、次生林和椰子林4种植被类型对碳水化合物、氨基酸类和多聚物的利用率最高,而木麻黄林和湿加松人工纯林土壤微生物对六大类碳源的利用率均不高,其中氨基酸类和羧酸类碳源是这2种人工纯林主要碳源利用形式。不同植被土壤微生物McIntosh指数、Shannon-Wiener指数、Simpson指数和Pielou指数也表现为混交林、半红树林和次生林高于人工纯林。主成分分析表明：不同植被类型土壤微生物群落代谢多样性能够明显区分,其中PC1可以解释所有变量方差的47.32%, PC2可以解释所有变量方差的31.58%,累计贡献达到78.90%。相关性分析表明：土壤微生物群落多样性各指标与土壤有机碳和全氮之间呈极显著正相关 (P<0.01),与土壤pH呈负相关,与土壤含水量呈显著正相关 (P<0.05)。结论相比纯林,人工混交林对于改善土壤微生物群落特征具有重要作用。     

基于RNA-Seq筛选ALV-J感染汶上芦花鸡肝差异表达致病相关基因

为挖掘感染ALV-J汶上芦花鸡的肝差异表达致病相关基因。本研究以汶上芦花鸡为试验素材,分别在42和300日龄进行ALV血液病毒分离检测筛选ALV阴性和阳性个体,对ALV阳性个体有病理变化的肝组织和阴性个体肝组织进行PCR检测,分别选取3只ALV阳性（G1组）和阴性（G2组）个体的肝组织,并对G1组PCR产物测序、聚类分析确定ALV亚型,利用RNA-Seq测序技术筛选差异表达基因,并进行功能分析,利用荧光定量qRT-PCR对部分差异表达基因进行验证。结果表明,G1组样品经PCR检测、PCR扩增产物测序和聚类分析确定ALV为J亚型,转录组分析发现,共有42个差异基因在GO和KEGG中富集,其中,上调基因18个,下调基因24个。随机选取的5个差异表达基因qRT-PCR验证结果与RNA-Seq测序结果相一致。GO分析显示,差异表达基因主要涉及细胞过程、代谢过程、对刺激的反应、免疫系统等;KEGG分析显示,差异表达基因主要富集在细胞过程、信号传导、疾病、新陈代谢等信号通路。本研究通过转录组分析发现了影响ALV-J致病性的多个基因和关键信号通路,为深入了解ALV-J致病的分子机制提供了思路。

我国居民肉类消费情况调查

为更好研究落实2020年中央1号文件作出的决策部署,对居民肉类消费情况进行了调查。本次调查对全国30个省(区、市)各年龄层次、收入水平的1 060名居民,进行了猪肉、牛肉、羊肉、禽肉、水产品等肉类消费情况和习惯摸底。结果显示:2019年我国居民日常猪肉消费量有所降低,但猪肉仍是主要肉类消费产品;居民喜食热鲜猪肉的消费习惯已发生变化,对冷鲜猪肉接受度较高,对冷冻猪肉接受度低;卫生安全和价格是影响居民对猪肉消费决策的主要因素。可考虑从创新检疫工作模式,重点扶持"养殖-屠宰-销售"一体化企业,强化冷冻肉技术研发和推广,利用新媒体进行舆论引导等4个方面,进一步提高居民对冷鲜、冷冻肉品的认可度,为未来推动从"调猪"向"调肉"转变提供良好的市场环境。

Adrenomedullin gene transfection enhances the therapeutic effects of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on cardiac function and ventricle remodeling in acute myocardial infarction rats

AIM: To investigate adrenomedullin gene transfection enhances the therapeutic effects of homogeneous transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on cardiac function and ventricle remodeling in acute myocardial infarction rats. METHODS: MSCs were isolated and expanded using the preplating method. The infection efficiency of adenovirus vector to MSCs was tested by X-gal staining. Ad-ADM expression in MSCs and its secretion in culture medium were measured by ELISA. The left anterior descending branch of rats was ligated to establish a myocardial infarction model. The MSCs were labeled by DAPI, and were directly implanted into the acute infarct site via focal injection. Four weeks later, cardiac function was evaluated using physiological recorder. Hearts were harvested and sliced to be analyzed by immunohistochemistry (factor Ⅷ and ADM) and the DAPI-labeled cells were identified. Sirius red staining was used to identify interstitial collagen on slides. Analysis of collagen type I and III was performed using a polarized filter on sections stained for collagen with Sirius red, and the ratio of collagen type I and III were detected. RESULTS: With X-gal staining, MSCs were effectively transfected by adenovirus in vitro. The transfection efficiency showed the dose-effect relationship with multiplicities of infection (MOI). When MOI was 150, the infection efficiency was 95.4%. The expression of ADM was traced in culture medium and expressed in the time-dependent manner. A maximum production of ADM was observed at 7 d after infection ［(26.53±1.42) ng/L vs (1.34±0.08) ng/L, P<0.05］, and ADM secretion reduced to normal level at 15 d ［(2.20±1.44) ng/L vs (1.52±0.33) ng/L, P>0.05］. DAPI-labeled MSCs transplantation was found in the hearts of the recipients. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that intense immunostaining for ADM was higher in Ad-ADM plus MSCs group, compared to other groups. Compared with control, MSCs transplantation significantly increased capillary density in infarct area (P<0.01). A combination of Ad-ADM trensfection and MSCs transplantation demonstrated a further increase in capillary density compared with Ad-ADM or MSCs alone. MSCs transplantation decreased the ratio of collagen type I and III, obviously improved the left ventricular functions. Furthermore the combination treatment resulted in further decrease in the ratio of collagen type I and III, and significantly improved the left ventricular functions. CONCLUSION: Ad-ADM transfection enhances the angiogenic potency of MSCs transplantation and decreases the ratio of collagen type I and III through increasing ADM expression in infarct area, thus contributes to reverse the ventricular remodeling and improves the cardiac function.
