Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of PPARγ expression in porcine uteroplacenta for regulating of placental angiogenesis through VEGF-mediated signalling

Non-infectious prenatal mortality severely affects the porcine industry, with pathological placentation as a likely key reason. Previous studies have demonstrated that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) deficiency causes defects in the uteroplacental vasculature and induces embryonic losses in mice. However, its role in porcine placental angiogenesis remains unclear. In the present study, PPARγ expression was investigated in porcine uteroplacental tissues at gestational day (GD) 25, GD40 and GD70 via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Moreover, the roles of PPARγ in porcine placental angiogenesis were investigated using a cell model of porcine umbilical vein endothelial cells (PUVECs) to conduct proliferation, migration and tube formation assays in vitro and a mouse xenograft model to assess capillary formation in vivo. The results showed that PPARγ was mainly located in the glandular epithelium, trophoblast, amniotic chorion epithelium and vascular endothelium, as indicated by the higher expression levels at GD25 and GD40 than at GD70 in endometrium and by higher expression levels at GD40 and GD70 than at GD25 in placenta. Moreover, PPARγ expression was significantly downregulated in placenta with dead foetus. In PUVECs, knocking out PPARγ significantly inhibited proliferation, migration and tube formation in vitro and inhibited capillary formation in mouse xenografts in vivo by blocking S-phase, promoting apoptosis and downregulating the angiogenic factors of VEGF and its receptors. Overall, the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of PPARγ expression in porcine uteroplacental tissue suggests its vital role in endometrial remodelling and placental angiogenesis, and PPARγ regulates placental angiogenesis through VEGF-mediated signalling.

高钠所致肉用雏鸡肺动脉高压模型的心电图学研究

本试验用心电描记法对３组共２８５羽健康ＡＡ肉鸡从８日龄开始分别饮用含氯化钠０．０％、０．１５％、０．３０％的饮水所致内用雏鸡肺动脉高压综合征进行了研究,结果表明：（１）实验组的右心室和全心室的重量比（ＲＶ／ＴＶ）较对照组显著增坑。（２）回归分析表明ⅡａＶｐ导联波波幅的变化与ＲＶ／ＴＶ和的变化呈强负相关。（３）对照组、实验Ⅰ组、实验Ⅱ组分别有０．０１％,６．２５％,２８．７５％鸡发展成临床型腹水。因     

老年犬的养护

如果家里有一头老年犬,它一定陪伴你走过了好几个年头,在这么多年里它也许是你的精神寄托;有了它你的生活更快乐了,是它提高了你的生活品质。这个时候,它仍然在你的身旁,但它已经不像年轻时那样爱玩爱闹了,对事情的注意力、警惕性也有明显下降。这些都是不可避免的,你深爱的犬正在逐渐衰老。这个时候,它的需求正在变化,它对你的依赖越来越强,它需要你给它保持一个健康的身体和安逸的老年生沽。

Experimental studies with foot-and-mouth disease virus type Asia-1, responsible for the 2005 epidemic in China

This study was carried out to investigate the biological characteristics of the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus strain Asia-1 China/2005, which is responsible for the 2005 epidemic in China. The result showed that this strain is not host restricted, and could not only cause FMD in cattle and sheep but also in pigs by either inoculation or direct contact.     

肽营养及其在开发大豆肽饲料中的应用

文中就大豆肽蛋白饲料研究的时代背景与蛋白质肽营养进行了介绍。日粮蛋白质在消化过程中释放出大量的小肽物质,表明饲料蛋白不仅具有营养功能,还具有调节机体生理机能的功效,在对饲料蛋白的生物学价值进行评定时要将这两者结合起来进行综合评定。特别是许多组成活性小肽的氨基酸并不全是必需氨基酸,启迪人们可以利用那些原本生物效价不很高的蛋白质(如豆粕)资源,生产出更能满足动物需要,与鱼粉等优质动物蛋白原料等价的功能性肽蛋白饲料。     

荧光定量PCR方法检测IBV病毒在CEK多细胞中的动态变化

为揭示鸡传染性支气管炎病毒（IBV）在鸡胚肾细胞（CEK）中复制增殖的动态变化规律,通过实时荧光定量PCR（FQ-PCR）检测IBV病毒感染CEK3、6、12、24、36、48、72h后病毒增殖量的动态变化。结果显示,随着时间增加,IBV病毒增殖出现规律性变化,3～12h时IBV增殖不明显,36h时IBV开始大量复制,48h时达到高峰,但72h后有所下降。试验表明IBV在细胞内复制增殖的最佳时间在接毒后48h,其复制增殖情况与细胞状态负相关。
