Myostatin down‐regulates the IGF‐2 expression via ALK‐Smad signaling during myogenesis in cattle

Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator during muscle differentiation, whereas insulin‐like growth factors (IGFs) are essential for muscle development. MSTN and IGFs act oppositely during myogenesis, but there is little information on the mutual relationship of MSTN and IGFs. The present study was conducted to examine whether MSTN affects IGF expression during early myogenesis in cattle. IGF‐1 mRNA was similarly expressed in M. longissimus thoracis of double‐muscled (DM) and normal (NM) Japanese shorthorn cattle. IGF‐2 mRNA expression was consistently higher in the normal and regenerating muscle of DM cattle than those of NM cattle. When myoblasts were isolated from regenerating M. longissimus thoracis, IGF‐2 mRNA expression showed a significant increase in differentiating DM derived myoblasts (DM‐myoblasts) as compared with differentiating NM derived myoblasts (NM‐myoblasts). An addition of recombinant mouse myostatin (rMSTN) to myoblast cultures attenuated IGF‐2 mRNA expression and decreased myotube formation, but did not effect IGF‐1 mRNA expression. An activin‐like kinase (ALK) inhibitor, SB431542, mediates MSTN action, suppressed the translocation of Smad2/3 into the nucleus in DM‐myoblasts, and restored the attenuated IGF‐2 mRNA expression and the decreased myotube formation induced by rMSTN in myoblast cultures. The findings indicate that MSTN may negatively regulate myoblast differentiation by suppressing IGF‐2 expression via ALK‐Smad signaling.     

蓝塘仔猪IGF-1水平与组织IGF-1、GHR基因的表达

32头不同日龄(出生、3、21、35d)蓝塘仔猪,由前腔静脉采血后剖杀,取肝脏、背最长肌样品。用RIA法测血液、组织中IGF 1浓度,用放射受体法(RBA)检测肝脏、肌肉组织中GHR结合活性,用实时荧光定量PCR法检测IGF 1、GHRmRNA的表达水平。结果表明:(1)血液中IGF 1在出生日显著高于其它时期(P<0 05)。肌肉组织中IGF 1含量高于肝脏组织,肌肉组织IGF 1含量在3、21、35日龄时都显著高于出生日(P<0 05)。(2)肝脏细胞膜GHR结合活性在出生日显著高于3、21日龄(P<0 05),肝脏细胞膜GHR结合活性高于肌肉组织。(3)肝脏组织IGF 1、GHRmRNA的表达量均显著高于肌肉组织(P<0 05)。肝脏IGF 1mRNA的表达在出生日、21日龄时显著高于3、35日龄(P<0 05),GHRmRNA的表达在出生日显著高于其它日龄(P<0 05)。肌肉IGF 1、GHRmRNA的表达在出生日均显著高于其它日龄(P<0 05)。

类蚕丝丝素结晶区蛋白表达载体的构建与表达

为探讨蚕丝结构与性能的关系,设计了几种类似蚕丝丝素结晶区高度重复序列结构(GAGAGX)n的基因序列,并构建了大肠杆菌表达载体,在BL-21菌株中成功诱导表达了4种约由110个氨基酸组成的小分子蛋白。对表达产物进行W estern印迹分析和ELISA检测的结果显示,(GAGAGA)n、(GAGAGY)n、(GAGAGV)n3种蛋白都有小于14.4 kD的大小相同的条带,而(GAGAGS)n有一条稍大于20.1 kD的条带。以超声波破菌的缓冲液作空白对照,4种蛋白的ELISA的结果均比对照的BL-21(无质粒)高,显示为阳性。

Polysaccharides from Acanthopanax senticosus enhances intestinal integrity through inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB signaling pathways in lipopolysaccharide‐challenged mice

To investigate the role of polysaccharide from Acanthopanax senticosus (ASPS) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced intestinal injury, mice in three treatments were administrated orally with or without ASPS (300 mg/kg body weight) for 14 days, followed by challenge with LPS or saline. At 4 h post‐injection, blood and intestinal samples of six mice / treatment were collected. The results showed ASPS ameliorated LPS‐induced intestinal morphological deterioration, proven by improved villus height (P < 0.05) and villus height : crypt depth ratio (P < 0.05). ASPS also elevated the mucosal barrier of LPS‐challenged mice, supported by reduced plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) activity (P < 0.05) and L‐lactate (P < 0.05), increased mucosal DAO activity (P < 0.05) as well as enhanced intestinal tight junction proteins expression involving occludin‐1 (P < 0.05) and zonula occludens‐1 (P < 0.05). In addition, ASPS decreased LPS‐induced secretion of inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α (P < 0.05) and prostaglandin E₂ (P < 0.05). Also, ASPS down‐regulated messenger RNA expression of toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) and its downstream signals, including myeloid differentiation factor 88 (P < 0.05), TNF‐α receptor‐associated factor 6 (P < 0.05), as well as nuclear factor (NF)‐κB p65 (P < 0.05) and its protein expression. These findings suggest that ASPS improves intestinal integrity under inflammation conditions connected with inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB signaling pathways.
