新城疫病毒山东分离株ShD-5-06 F和HN基因序列分析

从山东济南某非典型新城疫发病鸡群中分离到一株新城疫病毒株（ShD-5—06）,研究其生物学特性表明,该病毒具有新城疫强毒株的一些特征。从该分离株扩增出其F和HN基因,并与标准株进行同源性比较,为探讨NDV是否发生变异提供理论依据。本试验通过RT—PCR法特异性地扩增出F和HN基因全基因序列,并对其与已经发表的序列进行核苷酸序列测定和分析。结果表明,ShD-5—06株的F和HN基因开放性阅读框架（ORF）为1662bp和1716bp,分别编码489个和571个氨基酸。与国外发表的部分新城疫病毒强毒株和弱毒株之间相应序列进行比较,F基因核苷酸序列的同源性在84．1％～88．7％之间,氨基酸同源性在88．1％～93．3％之间;HN基因核苷酸序列的同源性在82．19,5～87．4％之间,氨基酸同源性在88．6％～90．9%之间;F蛋白裂解位点区（112～117）氨基酸组成与强毒株一致,说明NDV山东分离株（ShD-5—06）为新城疫强毒株。     

Trade-off expression of melatonin receptor subtypes (Mel1a and Mel1b) and androgen receptor in lung of a tropical bird,Perdicula asiatica

The role of circulatory steroid hormone along with melatonin in lung of any seasonally breeding bird has never been explored so far. This could be interesting because steroid hormones are immunosuppressive while melatonin is immunostimulatory in nature. In our present study, we report the effect of exogenous melatonin and testosterone on expression of melatonin receptor subtypes (Mel_1a and Mel_1b) and androgen receptor in lung of a tropical bird Perdicula asiatica. Birds were collected from vicinity of Varanasi and acclimatized in laboratory with sufficient food and water. The birds were treated with melatonin and testosterone at dose of 25 µg/100 g B.wt./day and 1 mg/100 g B.wt./day, respectively, for 28 days. At the end of the experiment, the birds were sacrificed and lung tissue and blood sample were collected for immunohistochemistry, Western blot analysis and hormonal assay. Testosterone treatment increased circulatory testosterone and upregulated expression of androgen receptors whereas downregulated expression of melatonin receptor subtypes Mel_1a and Mel_1b. Melatonin administration increased peripheral melatonin and upregulated expression of melatonin receptor subtypes Mel_1a and Mel_1b while downregulated androgen receptor. Thus, our results suggest that a trade-off relationship between melatonin and testosterone exists in regulation of their receptors in lung of Perdicula asiatica.     

Association of bovine KISS1 single nucleotide polymorphisms with reproductive traits in Indian Cattle

Kisspeptins, a family of neuropeptide encoded by the Kiss1 gene, have emerged as crucial regulator of fertility and reproduction by regulating the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. The present study was aimed to identify and associate SNPs in the KISS1 gene with reproductive traits in cattle of Indian origin. DNA samples collected from 300 individual cows of three Indian dairy breeds (Gir, Kankrej and Frieswal) of cattle were used in the study. The SNPs of KISS1 gene were identified with PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis using two sets of primer pairs. A total of 5 SNPs were identified in the targeted region of which, two were selected for screening the population and association studies. The analysis revealed that genotypes of rs442633552G>A and rs42022871C>T had a significant association with dry period. The SNP rs42022871C>T also established significant role in milk production traits, and selection of TT-genotyped animals will improve the reproduction and production potential of the animals.

牛膝多糖对断奶仔猪抗菌肽Protegrin-1 Mrna表达的影响

本文旨在探讨牛膝多糖(ABPS)对断奶仔猪抗菌肽Protegrin-1(PG-1)mRNA表达的影响。试验采用单因子设计,按照日粮处理因素不同,设对照组、抗生素组、0.05%、0.10%和0.15%牛膝多糖组,共5个处理。选用28日龄杜长大仔猪160头,随机分入5个处理,每个处理4个重复,每个重复8头猪(公母各半)。采用半定量RT-PCR法,以18SrRNA为内标,检测PG-1mRNA相对表达量。结果表明:日粮中添加牛膝多糖均不同程度地促进断奶仔猪骨髓抗菌肽PG-1mRNA的表达。与对照组相比,0.05%、0.10%和0.15%牛膝多糖组分别使断奶仔猪PG-1mRNA的相对表达量增加14.9%(P>0.05)、36.4%(P<0.05)和7.3%(P<0.05);与抗生素组相比,其PG-1mRNA的相对表达量分别增加7.8%(P>0.05)、27.9%(P>0.05)和19.4%(P>0.05)。即牛膝多糖能显著促进断奶仔猪骨髓抗菌肽PG-1mRNA表达,且日粮中以0.10%添加量为适宜。
