Cloning of Buffalo AQP9 Gene and Analysing its Expression in the Buffalo Tissues

Cloning buffalo AQP9 gene and analyzing its expression in buffalo tissues.A pair of primers was designed according to the released bovine AQP9 sequences in GenBank,which was used to clone buffalo AQP9 gene.The AQP9 gene was amplified by RT-PCR,whose nucleotide sequence and protein structure were analyzed by bioinformatics methods.The expression of AQP9 in buffalo tissues was assayed by Real-time quantitative PCR.The expression of AQP9 gene in buffalo ovary and testis tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining method.The results showed that the cloned ORF length of buffalo AQP9 gene was 888 bp,which coded 295 amino acids.The results of multiple sequence comparison showed that the nucleotide sequence of buffalo AQP9 shared 99%,90%,97% and 88% homologeous compared with that of Bos taurus,Sus scrofa,Ovis ariessis and Homo sapiens,respectively,while shared 99%,86%,97%,83% homologeous for amino acids,respectively.Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that AQP9 gene was highly conservative in the evolutionary process.Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that AQP9 gene expressed in buffalo liver,lung,brain,skin,testis and ovary tissues with different levels,had the most abundant expression in liver,followed by in skin and testis,less observed in lung and ovary.The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of AQP9 protein varied with the development of buffalo ovarian tissue,and gradually enhanced with follicle development.In testicular tissue,AQP9 protein expressed in spermatocyte and leydig cells of developmental stage testis.These results indicated that we had successfully cloned buffalo AQP9 gene sequences.The expression and its function of AQP9 in buffalo ovaries and testes might play an important role in follicle development and spermatogenesis.     

棉籽饼饲料中棉酚生殖毒性的研究进展

棉籽饼作为一种优质、廉价的动物饲料蛋白得到广泛的应用。但是,棉籽饼中含有的棉酚在一定程度上限制了其使用量。动物长期采食含有棉酚的饲料易引起生殖毒性。对棉酚的理化性质、限量使用及其对动物生殖毒性的研究现状进行了综述。

青霉酸毒性研究进展

青霉酸是圆弧青霉代谢产物的主要成分。现已证明,青霉酸对各种动物具有毒性,主要引起心脏、肝脏和肾脏等器官的损伤,并具有潜在致癌性。青霉酸在饲料中的含量很高,而且污染极其广泛。因此,研究青霉酸的毒性、中毒机理及与其他毒素的联合作用,对保证饲料卫生和动物健康具有很重要的意义,该文就青霉酸的器官毒性、细胞毒性、分子毒性及联合毒性的研究进行综述。     

植酸酶在畜禽生产中的应用研究

植酸又名肌醇六磷酸,是一种抗营养因子。植酸在低pH条件下可与蛋白质分子的碱性基团结合,络合蛋白质,抑制胃蛋白酶、淀粉酶和胰蛋白酶等消化酶的活性,降低蛋白质、淀粉及脂类等营养成分的消化利用率。同时,植酸也具有极强的螯合能力,能与钙、钾、锌、铁及铜等矿物质形成不溶性盐类,影响矿物质的吸收。     

鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶1基因的结构和功能

鸟氨酸脱羧酶抗酶1(OAZ1)基因可通过特殊的+1移码机制翻译全长的功能蛋白.研究发现,OAZ1能与鸟氨酸脱羧酶(ODC)结合并降解ODC,负调控细胞内多胺的水平;OAZ1还能降解Cyclin D1、Cyclin E1和Smad1周期蛋白,阻滞细胞周期;此外,近年来研究表明,OAZI还具有抗肿瘤效应和调控动物繁殖的功能.抗酶抑制因子能竞争性结合ODC-OAZ1复合体中的OAZ1,从而阻止ODC降解;天门冬酰胺也能通过抑制OAZ1的翻译来调节ODC的活性.本文就OAZ1基因结构和功能的研究现状作一综述.     

内毒素诱生自由基致兔血循环系统损伤及CA对其影响

将56只健康白兔随机分组:正常对照组( 组)8只,ET处理组( 组)、CA保护组( 组)各24只,第1、2、3、4和5小时分别采集血液制备血浆样品,检测血浆T-AOC、T-SOD活性和MDA含量,第2和第5小时捕杀并迅速采集心脏制备组织匀浆,检测心脏GSH、GSH-ST、GSH-Px活性,研究内毒素(endotoxin,ET)诱导休克兔产生自由基对血浆和心脏的损伤及阳离子A(cationA,CA)对其影响。结果表明: 组各项指标均保持相对稳定; 组MDA含量比 组升高(P<0.01),T-AOC、T-SOD活性比 组降低(P<0.01),而 组的MDA、T-AOC、T-SOD显著高于 组(P<0.05);除心脏GSH-Px活性第5小时降低不明显外, 组GSH、GSH-Px和GSH-ST活性显著降低(P<0.01), 组比 组GSH、GSH-Px、GSH-ST活性高(P<0.01)。结果提示:CA能减轻ET诱生自由基所致的过氧化损伤,有效缓解内毒素引起的血液循环系统毒性损伤。
