广西巴马小型猪动脉粥样硬化模型的制作

本试验旨在制作广西巴马小型猪动脉粥样硬化模型,初步判断猪发生动脉粥样硬化时的指数值,以期为今后建立相关模型提供依据。试验选取广西巴马小型猪试验组和对照组各10头,通过饲喂高脂高胆固醇饲料建立动脉粥样硬化模型,检测建模过程中血液生化指标,将动脉粥样硬化指数与血管切片作关联分析,初步拟定发生动脉粥样硬化时的指数值。屠宰后血管切片结果显示,试验组有2头广西巴马小型猪发生动脉粥样硬化,对照组均正常。2头广西巴马小型猪的血管切片结果与动脉粥样硬化指数进行关联分析后,初步拟定的动脉粥样硬化指数值在3.8以上,并持续3个月以上。     

脑心肌炎病毒先导蛋白结构与功能研究进展

脑心肌炎病毒(EMCV)可感染人和多种动物,其基因组先导蛋白编码区是比较保守的区域之一,含有两种高度保守的功能域,即锌指基序和酸性结构域。研究表明,先导蛋白基因组具有一定的容纳外源基因片段的能力,同时先导蛋白与病毒复制、干扰素产生以及细胞凋亡等均有关系。论文综述了EMCV先导蛋白结构与功能的研究进展。

The effects of replacement of antibiotics with by‐products of oriental medicinal plants on growth performance and meat qualities in fattening pigs

The effect of by‐products of oriental medicinal plants (OMP; T1) containing 0.03% herb extracts (T2) or 0.1% aminolevulinic acid (T3) on the production performance of swine during the finishing period and on its meat quality were investigated. No significant differences were found in the weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion rate among the tested groups (P > 0.05). But the treated group showed higher (P < 0.05) moisture and ash and lower protein than the control group. The T3 group showed a lower meat cholesterol content (38.42 mg/100 g) compared to the other groups (P < 0.05). The vitamin E content of the muscle in the treated groups was higher compared to the control group. No antibiotic content was detected in all treated and control samples. The values of the volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) of the treated groups were significantly lower (P < 0.01) than the control group. The treated groups had significantly better (P < 0.05) sensory‐test scores for color, flavor, off‐flavor and total acceptability compared to the control group.     

Chemerin analog regulates energy metabolism in sheep

Accumulating data suggest a relationship between chemerin and energy metabolism. Our group previously described gene cloning, expression analysis and the regulatory mechanism of chemerin and its own receptor in mice and cattle. The objective of the present study was to investigate the physiological effect of chemerin on endocrine changes and energy metabolism in sheep using a biologically stable chemerin analog. The chemerin analog was intravenously administrated (100 or 500 µg/head) to sheep, and plasma insulin and metabolites (glucose, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), triglyceride, total cholesterol and high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol) were analyzed. The chemerin analog dramatically increased the insulin levels, and glucose levels were decreased. NEFA levels were slightly decreased at 20 min but then increased gradually from 60 to 180 min after analog administration. In addition, injection of the chemerin analog immediately increased triglyceride and total cholesterol but not HDL levels. These results suggested that chemerin analog regulated insulin secretion related to glucose metabolism and the release of triglycerides in sheep in vivo. This study provides new information about endocrine and metabolic changes in response to chemerin in sheep.     

miRNA对干细胞重编程的影响

miRNA在胚胎干细胞(ES)细胞的自我更新及多能性中扮演重要角色,国内外研究结果表明,在体细胞形成诱导性多能干细胞(IPS)的过程中,许多miRNA与Sox2、Oct4和Nanog等调控因子组成调控网络。miRNA在细胞周期、重编程及表型建立过程中也起着重要的调控作用。另外,在IPS细胞形成中,miRNA很有可能代替关键转录因子。     

影响猪精子介导基因转移效果的因素研究

为优化猪精子载体法技术参数,利用荧光定量PCR、荧光显微镜检测和精液常规检测方法,分析不同DNA转染剂、不同孵育温度和不同形态DNA对猪精子转染外源DNA的影响。结果表明,PEI和TransFast转染剂能极显著提高猪精子转染效果,且PEI优于TransFast,而NanoFect转染剂包裹DNA不能转染精子。随着转染温度的升高,精子的活力和活率均明显下降,而转染率和内化外源DNA量基本保持稳定,而吸附外源DNA量呈下降趋势。环状DNA和线性化DNA在与精子共孵育后,两者的精子活力、活率、转染率和内化外源DNA量差异均不显著,精子吸附线性化DNA量极显著高于环状DNA量。综合分析表明,外源DNA形态对猪精子转染效果无显著影响;PEI和TransFast能够显著提高猪精子转染效果;共孵育温度以17℃为最佳,本结果为开展精子载体法制备转基因猪研究提供了基础试验依据。
