藏鸡和隐性白羽鸡感染柔嫩艾美耳球虫后免疫相关基因的表达变化分析

试验旨在从免疫遗传学的角度初步探讨藏鸡（TC）和隐性白羽鸡（RWC）对柔嫩艾美耳球虫（Eimeria tenella）易感性差异的分子机制,分别用1×10⁵个柔嫩艾美耳球虫孢子化卵囊感染对球虫具有抗性的藏鸡和易感的隐性白羽鸡。应用实时荧光定量PCR检测藏鸡和隐性白羽鸡感染前0 d和感染后第2、4、6和8天脾脏、盲肠、胸腺、法氏囊中γ-干扰素（IFN-γ）、白细胞介素-2（IL-2）、IL-16、Toll样受体（TLR3）和TLR15免疫相关基因的转录水平变化。结果显示,藏鸡脾脏IFN-γ、IL-2、IL-16及TLR3、TLR15免疫相关基因转录水平于感染后第4和8天明显上调,隐性白羽鸡则无明显变化。藏鸡盲肠IFN-γ转录水平在感染后第2天显著上调（P<0.05）,TLR3在感染后第4天起显著上调（P<0.05）,其余免疫相关基因变化幅度不大;隐性白羽鸡盲肠IFN-γ转录水平在感染后第8天显著上调（P<0.05）,IL-2在感染后第2天起显著上调（P<0.05）,IL-16在感染后第6天起显著上调（P<0.05）,TLR3在感染后第2和8天显著上调（P<0.05）,TLR15变化幅度不大。各免疫相关基因在2个品种鸡胸腺和法氏囊中均出现上调或下调,但除藏鸡法氏囊TLR3和TLR15转录水平变化幅度相对较大外,其余免疫相关基因与感染前相比变化幅度不大。以上结果显示,球虫感染主要导致藏鸡和隐性白羽鸡脾脏和盲肠中的各免疫相关基因出现显著变化,表明宿主的遗传背景在一定程度上可影响球虫感染的免疫应答。     

MSTN基因编辑牛肌肉转录组测序及生物信息学分析

为探究肌生长抑制素（myostatin,MSTN）基因对牛肌肉发育的具体调控机制,本研究选取同一牛场健康鲁西黄牛10头,其中通过转基因技术得到的基因编辑牛MSTN^-/-和同种非转基因野生型牛各5头。分别采集两组牛腿臀肌肉样品,利用IIlumina HiSeq高通量测序技术进行转录组测序分析,通过生物信息学方法比较两组样本间的差异表达基因,并进行GO和KEGG富集分析,最后利用实时荧光定量PCR验证转录组测序数据。结果显示,基因编辑型牛和野生型牛之间共检测到18 071个基因。在log₂|FoldChange|≥ 1.48条件下,筛选出406个差异表达基因,其中347个显著上调,59个显著下调。GO功能富集分析显示,MSTN基因编辑后显著影响915个功能类别（P<0.05）,差异基因主要参与结合、生物系统调节、免疫系统等相关功能。KEGG通路富集分析结果共涉及211个通路,差异基因主要富集在细胞黏附分子、趋化因子信号通路、细胞因子互作等信号通路上,进一步从中筛选出可能参与细胞生长、肌肉发育的差异基因（CD14、KIT、CSF1R、FBP1、DUSP4、ULBP21、PRKCB、SPN、CHAD、SRC）。实时荧光定量PCR检测结果显示,所选差异基因表达水平与转录组表达水平一致,证明测序结果的可靠性。本研究结果表明,MSTN基因发挥作用后可以介导多个下游基因表达,从而影响相关信号通路及生物学过程;同时,所筛选出的差异表达基因可作为进一步研究骨骼肌调控机制的候选靶标。

To study the expression pattern of THBS3 gene in different tissues and during skeletal muscle development, the THBS3 gene expression in different tissues and skeletal muscles during prenatal periods (33, 45, 65, 70 and 90 d) and postnatal periods (0, 9, 30, 60, 120 and 160 d) from Landrace and Tongcheng pigs were detected by Real-time quantification PCR.The results showed that THBS3 gene widely expressed in all tissues examined, exhibiting similar spatial expression patterns with expression peaks in lung in both pig breeds except in stomach and intestine.Moreover, although THBS3 gene showed a significant higher expression level in gestation than after birth in Landrace and Tongcheng pigs (P<0.05), it exhibited different expression patterns between Landrace and Tongcheng pigs, the expression peak was detected at gestation day 45 in Landrace pig, while was detected at gestation day 65 in Tongcheng pig.The results suggested that THBS3 gene involved in skeletal muscle growth and development in pigs, as well as the regulation of asynchronization of skeletal muscle development in different pig breeds.     

Analysis on Polymorphisms of Three CNV Regions in Five Pig Breeds

The paper was aimed to investigate the polymorphism of copy number variation (CNV) in different pig breeds.Three CNV regions of CNVR91,CNVR92 and CNVR143 were chosen from the porcine SNP60 chip genotyping results.The polymorphisms of three CNVs were determined by Real-time quantitative PCR method,taking five pig breeds as samples,including Yorkshire pig,Xiang pig,Kele pig,Nuogu pig and Rongchang pig breeds.The results showed that the dominant status of CNVR91 was loss in Xiang pig,while it was normal in other four pig breeds.The major type of CNVR92 was deletion in Xiang pig,Yorkshire pig,Kele pig and Rongchang pig breeds,with a high normal percent in Nuogu pig.For CNVR143,the dominant event was gain in Xiang pig and Nuogu pig breeds,but it was not diverse in other three pig breeds.These results indicated that three CNV regions emerged with polymorphism in five pig breeds,which might have effects on gene expression in CNV regions and physiological function by dosage effect especially in Xiang pig,Nuogu pig and Kele pig breeds.     

基于实时荧光定量PCR技术检测桑丁香假单胞菌

由桑丁香假单胞菌(Pseudomonas syringae pv.mori,以下简称Psm)引起的桑疫病是一种毁灭性的桑树细菌性病害,建立对病原菌的早期检测技术,有利于及时制定病害的防控技术措施。依据致病性相关基因hrp Z的片段设计的一对引物能够在Psm中特异性地扩增出195 bp大小的条带,而用于对其他致病变种的丁香假单胞菌和其他种属病原菌的扩增则没有此条带。利用Psm14-7菌株基因组DNA为模板进行实时荧光定量PCR(q PCR)扩增,模板DNA质量浓度在6×10~(-5)~6 ng/μL范围内与扩增所得Ct值呈现良好的线性关系,线性方程为y=-3.224 69x+14.034 45(R~2=0.997 09),检测的最低限为(60±0.001 2)fg/μL;以Psm14-7菌液为模板进行q PCR,菌液浓度在1×10~2~1×10~8CFU/m L范围内与Ct值呈现良好的线性关系,线性方程为y=-4.562 15x+46.911 67(R~2=0.988 72),最低检测限为(10~2±0.008 3)CFU/m L。于桑树植株人工接种Psm后不同时间,对出现各种症状植株中的菌群数量进行q PCR检测,结果显示:接种后的第4~8天可能为病原菌诱导桑树的过敏性反应和系统获得性抗性关键时期,影响到了Psm的增殖速度;能引起健康桑树暴发桑疫病的致病菌最低浓度为(1.5×10~8±0.076 8)CFU/g。建立的q PCR检测方法,对由Psm引起的桑疫病的田间早期诊断和及时防控具有一定指导意义。
