Single nucleotide polymorphism in avian uncoupling protein gene is associated with thermoregulation in chicks

Avian uncoupling protein (av-UCP) is a key protein for thermoregulation in poultry. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the av-UCP gene has been reported in chickens. The purpose of the current study was to clarify the association between this av-UCP gene mutation and thermoregulation in chickens. Wild and mutant type chicks for the av-UCP gene SNP (g. 1270 of the av-UCP gene exon 3 with C to T substitution and amino acid substitution) were exposed to high ambient temperature. Rectal temperature, radiation temperature on the body surface, and the expression of heat dissipation behavior (wing drooping and panting) during heat exposure were measured. In addition, oxygen consumption rate in the thermoneutral zone in wild and mutant type chicks was measured. Changes in wing temperature during heat exposure in wild-type chicks were lower than those in mutants. The latency of continuous wing drooping during heat exposure in wild-type chicks was shorter than in mutant chicks. It was also found that the SNP in the av-UCP gene caused reduced oxygen consumption. These results suggest that the av-UCP gene mutation affects thermoregulation, especially heat production, in chickens.

新城疫病毒D90毒株对肺癌A549细胞生物学特性的研究

本试验采用细胞培养、吖啶橙染色、电镜、流式细胞仪等方法,研究了新城疫D90病毒株对肺癌A549细胞的体外杀伤作用。D90感染的细胞经吖啶橙染色后,可见到典型的细胞凋亡的形态学变化;电镜下可观察到凋亡小体,同时也观察到了典型的坏死细胞;流式细胞仪的分析结果表明,在24h的时间段,病毒的作用机制主要表现为凋亡,在48h时间段内,病毒的作用机制主要表现为坏死。人胎儿肝细胞单层培养物中接种D90后,未观察到细胞病变。结果表明,新城疫D90毒株作用于肺癌A549细胞的机制主要为凋亡与坏死相结合,因此它有期望成为一种有效的抗肿瘤生物制剂。

Acute myeloid leukemia with multilineage dysplasia in an alpaca

An 18-year-old female alpaca was presented to the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital for chronic ill thrift over a 1-year period. Six weeks previously, an infected left mandibular cheek tooth was removed by oral extraction. On physical examination the patient was cachectic, lethargic, and weak. Abnormalities on the CBC included neutropenia, thrombocytosis, and severe nonregenerative, macrocytic, hypochromic anemia. Dysplastic nucleated erythrocytes and micromegakaryocytes were observed on the peripheral blood smear. Neutrophils, bands, and metamyelocytes appeared markedly toxic. Numerous blasts containing variable numbers of fine azurophilic granules were also observed. Based on their morphology, the cells were interpreted to be progranulocytes and myeloblasts, and a presumptive diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was made. The blast cells accounted for 60% of the nucleated cell population on bone marrow aspirates, further supporting a diagnosis of AML with multilineage dysplasia. Post mortem examination showed infiltration of the neoplastic cells into spleen, liver, kidney, and lymph nodes. Based on histologic findings, the morphologic diagnoses were disseminated myeloid neoplasia, chronic regionally extensive tooth root abscess, and membranous glomerulonephritis. The neoplastic cells were CD172a-positive on flow cytometry, chloroacetate esterase-positive by cytochemistry, and myeloperoxidase-positive by immunohistochemistry, confirming myeloid origin. To our knowledge, this is the first case of AML with multilineage dysplasia in an alpaca, with only one other case of myelodysplasia described previously in this species.

利用PCR技术从带有伪狂犬病毒（PRV）gE基因的重组质粒pMD18-T-gE中扩增回收约304bp大小的片段,并制备出地高辛标记的gE基因核酸探针。特异性检测结果表明,该探针能与重组质粒DNA发生特异性杂交,而与对照的PRVBartha-k61株疫苗毒DNA、猪细小病毒（PPV）DNA、猪圆环病毒（PCV）DNA、猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（PRRsV）cDNA、猪瘟病毒（CSFV）cDNA的杂交反应均为阴性;敏感性检测结果表明,该探针对PRV野毒的最低检出量为4pg。应用该探针对11份繁殖障碍病料进行了杂交检测,共检出4份阳性病料,该结果与PCR检测结果一致,表明该核酸探针可用于猪伪狂犬病野毒感染的临床诊断。     

Effects of α-lipoic acid, vitamins E and C upon the heat stress in Japanese quails

Antioxidant vitamins are commonly used as colorant, preventive, sweetener, nutritive and antioxidant materials in food industry. Thus, many studies have been conducted in recent years. We have performed the present study to understand the effects of α-lipoic acid (ALA), vitamin C and E, added into rations of Japanese quails, on chronic heat stress. This study was carried out in five groups as: control, stress, ALA, vitamin E and vitamin C groups. Heat stress is applied to all groups except the control group. Superficial pectoral muscles tissues were used for biochemical determinations. During the research, it is found that heat stress exerted undesired effects such as increasing lipid peroxidation (LPO) level indicating oxidative stress in Japanese quails. In addition, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities and glutathione (GSH) amounts were studied to understand the behaviour of defence mechanism. While stress increased LPO ratio, it was determined that all antioxidant added into the ration decreases LPO significantly (p < 0.05). In addition, it was determined that all of antioxidants added into ration effectively restored SOD activity and LPO ratio which heat stress affected negatively. Interestingly, vitamin C did not adjust GSH ratio in contrast to vitamin E and ALA, where vitamin E and C did not perform any positive effect on heat stress decreased CAT activity. Finally, it can be thought that antioxidant vitamins relatively ameliorated these undesired affects caused by stress factors given.     

热应激下鸡肝脏SFRP1和PDK4基因表达水平研究

为研究热应激条件下,鸡SFRP1和PDK4两个与代谢相关的基因在鸡肝脏组织中的差异表达,选取12只60日龄体重相近的黄羽肉母鸡,分为正常对照组(CL)、热应激反应组(HS)和热应激反应后的降温组(HF)3个处理组,并对这两个基因在三组肝脏组织中的表达水平进行荧光定量表达分析。结果表明,在热应激状态下,SFRP1和PDK4基因在肝脏中的表达均上调,且PDK4在对照组和热应激组间差异显著(P<0.05)。本研究结果还表明,当热应激反应后温度重新降至(25±1)℃时,SFRP1和PDK4在肝脏中的相对表达量均有不同程度的恢复,进一步说明这两个基因在热应激中发挥的作用。本研究为从分子机制分析热应激提供了相应的参考。
