猪链球菌噬菌体SMP末端酶大亚基单位的活性研究

末端酶(terminase)是dsDNA病毒包装过程中的必要功能蛋白,其大亚基单位在包装过程中往往行使全酶的作用,一般具有ATP酶活性和限制性内切酶活性。噬菌体SMP是猪链球菌2型的烈性噬菌体,本研究以SMP基因组为模板,扩增SMP末端酶大亚基单位基因(TlsSMP),构建pEASY-E1-Tls重组质粒,在大肠杆菌中诱导表达,并对TlsSMP融合蛋白进行活性检测。结果显示,末端酶大亚基单位在大肠杆菌中呈可溶性表达,具有ATP酶生物学活性,在pH7、23℃和Mg2+存在的条件下,其活性最强,其他金属离子如Ca2+、Mn2+和Co2+都对其有不同程度的抑制作用。本研究为进一步研究猪链球菌噬菌体的包装机制奠定基础。

Combination of serum phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit and hyperintensity of intramedullary T2W on magnetic resonance imaging provides better prognostic value of canine thoracolumbar intervertebral disc herniation

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of concurrent measurement of serum phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit (pNF-H) concentration and intramedullary T2W hyperintensity in paraplegic to paraplegic dogs. Our hypothesis was that concurrent measurement of these would provide a more accurate prediction of functional outcome in dogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH). A prospective case-control clinical study was designed using 94 dogs with acute onset of thoracolumbar IVDH. The association of serum pNF-H concentration, T2W hyperintensity on sagittal MRI (T2H/L2), deep pain perception and surgical outcome were evaluated with logistic regression analysis after three months for all 94 surgically treated dogs. Sensitivity to predict non-ambulatory outcome was compared among pNF-H and T2H/L2 and combination of both. Logistic regression analysis indicated that serum pNF-H concentration and T2H/L2 were significantly correlated with surgical outcome (P<0.05); however, deep pain perception was not (P=0.41). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that the odds ratios of unsuccessful long-term outcome were 2.6 for serum pNF-H concentration, 1.9 for T2H/L2 and 2.3 for deep pain sensation. The sensitivity and specificity to predict non-ambulatory outcome for using serum parameter pNF-H>2.6 ng/ml, using T2H/L2 value of>0.84 and using both serum pNF-H and T2H/L2, were 95% and 75.7%, 65% and 86.5%, and 90.0% and 97.5%, respectively. Therefore, combined measurements of serum pNF-H and T2H/L2 might be useful for predicting long-term outcome in dogs with thoracolumbar IVDH.     

Downregulation of the expression of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan in porcine cystic follicles

Inhibins, as members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily, downregulate the synthesis and secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in an endocrine manner. The role of inhibin/betaglycan in the ovary regulation recently gained attention. To date, no data exist on the function of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan in cystic follicles. In this study, the expressions of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan in cystic follicles were investigated using immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. Both inhibin α subunit and betaglycan immunoreactivities were mainly localized in the granulosa cells of follicles. Expression of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan was inferior in cystic follicles compared with that in normal large follicles. However, the result of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed no significant difference in the decreasing in concentration of inhibin α subunit in cystic follicular fluid compared with the control (P>0.05). In this study, we explored the effects of FSH on betaglycan expression in granulosa cells in vitro. As expected, a significant increase in the expressions of betaglycan mRNA and protein in granulosa cells was observed in response to exogenous FSH (30 ng/ml) (P<0.05) compared with the control. Consequently, this study provides evidence that the expressions of inhibin α subunit and betaglycan are inferior in cystic follicles, and this may be caused by the decrease in FSH in the presence of a cystic follicle.

采用DEAE-52离子交换柱对红毛藻(Bangia fusco-purpurea Lyngb.)中的藻胆蛋白进行分离，依次洗脱出蓝色、紫色、深红色、红色和浅红色等几种组分的藻胆蛋白；经光谱分析发现蓝色组分为R-藻蓝蛋白，紫色组分为1种三峰型的藻胆蛋白，深红色组分和红色组分为2种不同但又非常相似的藻红蛋白，其中深红色组分可能与某些色素物质结合较为紧密，而最后洗脱出的浅红色组分则为变性的藻红蛋白。尿素洗脱结果表明，蓝色组分的R-藻蓝蛋白是由2种双峰型的亚基构成。本研究旨为揭示藻胆蛋白的能量传递机制提供理论和技术依据。
