伪狂犬病毒GDSH株的分离鉴定及gE基因的序列分析

从广东四会某猪场分离到一株疑为猪伪狂犬病病毒(PRV)的病毒,病毒在猪肾细胞上出现细胞变圆、拉网、融合等典型病变,并具有细胞泛嗜性特点。在MDCK细胞上测得其TCID50值为10-8/0.1mL,能被伪狂犬病病毒标准阳性血清中和。将0.1mL病毒液接种小鼠后发生奇痒并麻痹致死,接种猪3天后发病,7天死亡,从攻毒病死猪的脑组织病理切片上观察到典型的病毒性脑膜脑炎及血管套现象。通过PCR扩增到PRVgD基因,由此进一步证明所分离病毒为猪伪狂犬病毒,并命名为GDSH株。根据GenBank中发表的序列,设计一对扩增PRVgE基因的特异性引物,建立可以区分PRV野毒株与疫苗株的PCR诊断方法。以此方法对病毒的细胞培养液进行检测,结果证实所分毒株为PRV野毒株,经克隆测序后与GenBank收录的其它PRVgE基因序列进行比较,发现所测毒株的核苷酸序列与其它PRV毒株的同源性介于98.3%～99.9%之间,其中与PRVEa株的亲缘关系最近为99.9%。

Effects of dietary lipid levels on lipid deposition and activities of lipid metabolic enzymes in hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus)

This study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary lipid levels on growth performance, lipid deposition and activities of lipid metabolic enzymes in hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus). Four isonitrogenous (300 g/kg crude protein) experimental diets containing graded levels of lipid (25, 55, 85 and 115 g/kg) were randomly assigned to triplicate groups of 180 juvenile fish. Fish were fed twice daily for 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the growth performance and proximate composition of fish were determined. The activities and gene expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) were assessed as well. Fish fed the diets with 55 and 85 g/kg lipid had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher body weight gain than those fed the diets with 25 and 115 g/kg lipid. The whole-body and liver lipid contents were significantly (p < 0.05) elevated with increasing dietary lipid levels. Moreover, the activities and mRNA abundances of LPL and HSL in the liver, dorsal muscle and fat tissues were markedly altered by dietary lipid levels. Our data demonstrate a profound influence of dietary lipid levels on the growth and lipid deposition in hybrid tilapia, which is likely associated with the regulation of lipid metabolic enzymes including LPL and HSL.

IGF2基因表达调控及其遗传变异在动物生长发育中的研究进展

胰岛素样生长因子2（insulin-like growth factor 2,IGF2）作为胰岛素类激素家族中重要成员之一,广泛参与机体众多生理代谢过程,在癌症发生、神经调节、糖代谢疾病、骨质疏松、肌肉发育和脂肪沉积等方面具有重要的作用,其功能行使主要通过与受体IGF1R和IGF2R结合或与胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白IGFBPs和IGF2BPs竞争性结合发挥功能。鉴于IGF2基因在肌肉发育和脂肪沉积中的重要作用,发掘IGF2基因相关分子标记并解析其内在调控机理,在畜牧生产中具有重要的意义。研究发现,众多IGF2基因遗传变异与动物的生长发育之间存在显著相关关系,其可能通过影响IGF2基因印记、甲基化状态、转录因子结合或miRNA靶向结合型转录后调控等方式发挥作用。因此,文章综述了IGF2基因表达调控模式,包括IGF2与其受体的调控关系,基因印记与miRNA参与的表观遗传调控,转录因子对其的调节作用,遗传变异等方面的内容,以期为IGF2基因在动物生长发育调控相关研究中提供相应的借鉴,为分子育种提供有效线索。     

Optimizing ex situ genetic resource collections for European livestock conservation

Ex situ collections offer the potential to reduce extinction risks, affording option to society in maintaining future breeding opportunities for productivity and heritage traits. However, how much should we be seeking to collect and conserve in gene banks, and where? We developed a mathematical model to optimize logistical decisions of breed conservation choices and to evaluate alternative scenarios for efficiently re‐allocating genetic materials currently stored in different European gene banks, allowing for cross‐country collections, cost and cryogenic capacity differentials. We show how alternative allocations for the breeds that are currently stored in 11 European gene banks could reduce overall conservation costs by around 20% by selecting cryogenic banks that have relatively lower combination of fixed and collection costs, and are geographically closer to collection regions. Our results show that centralizing collections in one gene bank would double the costs, relative to collective European collections approaches. We also calculate marginal costs of collections and show that increasing diversity within the gene banks implies in higher costs per conserved breed.
