A three‐dimensional cell culture system as an in vitro canine mammary carcinoma model for the expression of connective tissue modulators

In this study, derived complex carcinoma (CC) and simple carcinoma (SC) cell lines were established and cultured under two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) conditions. The 3D was performed in six‐well AlgiMatrix? (LifeTechnologies®, Carlsbad, CA, USA) scaffolds, resulting in spheroids sized 50–125 µm for CC and 175–200 µm for SC. Cell viability was demonstrated up to 14 days for both models. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was expressed in CC and SC in both systems. However, higher mRNA and protein levels were observed in SC 2D and 3D systems when compared with CC (P < 0.005). The connective tissue modulators, metalloproteinases‐1, ‐2, ‐9 and ‐13 (MMPs), relaxin receptors 1 and 2 (RXR1 and RXR2) and E‐cadherin (CDH1) were quantitated. All were upregulated similarly when canine mammary tumour (CMT)‐derived cell lines were cultured under 3D AlgiMatrix, except CDH1 that was downregulated (P < 0.005). These results are promising towards the used of 3D system to increase a high throughput in vitro canine tumour model.     

蝴蝶兰幼嫩花梗组织培养和快速繁殖

以蝴蝶兰(Phalaenopsis amabilis)幼嫩花梗获得的无菌苗的茎尖为外植体,通过在MS和1/2 MS培养基中加入不同质量浓度的6-BA、NAA、TDZ和2,4-D来筛选最佳培养基配方,从而初步建立蝴蝶兰的组织培养再生体系.结果表明,花梗用0.1%升汞消毒15 min效果最好.花梗腋芽启动培养基为1/2 M...     

仔猪胰腺细胞体外培养体系的建立

为了研究体外培养仔猪胰腺细胞的适宜条件,试验选取1日龄的仔猪胰腺组织置于冰上清洗、修剪,对消化酶、离心方式、培养皿铺被方式、培养液及添加不同促生长因子等多种因素进行筛选和优化。结果表明:0.25%胰酶消化所获得的细胞强于0.1%胶原酶消化获得的细胞,细胞清亮,易于生长;采用500 r/min离心5 min、多次离心所获得的细胞较Percoll不连续密度梯度离心和5%BSA等密度梯度离心所获得的细胞贴壁率高,生长能力强,易于培养传代;采用0.1%明胶或20μg/mL的层黏连蛋白铺被培养皿均比无铺被的培养皿获得更多的贴壁细胞;以RPMI 1640、M199、F12、L-DMEM多种培养液培养仔猪胰腺细胞,表现出多种细胞形态和生长趋势;在基础培养液中添加上皮生长因子、角质化生长因子、β-巯基乙醇和白血病细胞抑制因子、转铁蛋白与亚硒酸盐混合试剂等促干细胞增殖因子可促进不同形态细胞的增殖。说明按此方式培养可获得大量、多种细胞形态的仔猪胰腺祖/干细胞。     

芡欧鼠尾草的组织培养和快速繁殖

以芡欧鼠尾草(Salvia hispanica)成熟种子为外植体,1/2MS为基本培养基,研究不同浓度的外源激素对愈伤组织的诱导、增殖和生根的影响,从而初步建立了芡欧鼠尾草组织培养的快速繁殖体系。结果表明,诱导种子愈伤组织的最适宜培养基为1/2MS+10.0mg·L~(-1) 6-BA+1.0mg·L~(-1) NAA+0.4mg·L~(-1) ZT,诱导率为66.5%;不定芽增殖的最适培养基为1/2MS+3.0mg·L~(-1) 6-BA+0.5mg·L~(-1) NAA,增殖倍数为7.69;生根的最适培养基为1/2MS+0.5mg·L~(-1) NAA,生根率达100%,平均生根数为5.68;移栽后植株生长良好,成活率较高,达97%。     

Prevalence and Aetiology of Mastitis in Cows from Two Major Ethiopian Dairies

The study was undertaken to determine the aetiology and prevalence of mastitis in hand-milked cows (n = 186) in two major Ethiopian dairies. The California Mastitis Test and culturing for bacteria revealed that 21.5% of the cows were clinically infected and 38.2% had subclinical mastitis. Most mastitis pathogens isolated from milk samples testing positive by the California Mastitis Test were Gram-positive cocci. Staphylococci constituted 57% of the isolates, of which the predominant cause of bovine mastitis was Staphylococcus aureus (40.5%). Other mastitis pathogens isolated include streptococci (16.5%), coliforms (9%) and corynebacteria (5%). Retrospective analysis of farm records indicated that mastitis was the second most important cause of culling and accounted for 27% of the cows removed from these two dairies.     

论草文化

从古至今、从国内到国外论述了草文化的起源、发展历史与过程,阐述了草与人类社会发展的密切关系.文献资料表明,中国在先秦时代就出现了草文化,在唐宋时代锦上添花,如今更是丰富多彩了.丝绸之路是草原文化与中原文化、中国文化与外国文化交流的纽带.草文化和草原文化在一代一代的劳动人民中流传下来,并得以发扬光大.草文化无国界,世界各地都能找到丰富多彩的草文化,草和草文化早已成为人们生活中不可缺少的一部分.

适应无血清培养的HEK293细胞系的培育

为培育适合腺病毒增殖的无血清培养细胞系,本研究采用培养液渐进替换的方法获得了一株适应无血清培养的HEK293细胞(293SF),经检测293SF细胞具有稳定的支持腺病毒增殖与表达外源蛋白的能力;平均病变时间为97 h,比HEK293细胞缩短12.9%;毒价达到107.48TCID50/mL,比HEK293细胞提高43.3%;并且稳定性良好,连续传16代后293SF细胞状态与易感性未发生变化。该细胞系为腺病毒的无血清培养奠定基础。     

卵巢表皮上皮的生物学特性及其细胞培养

将近90%以上的恶性卵巢癌发生于覆盖在卵巢表面的单层上皮细胞——卵巢表皮上皮(ovarian surface epithelium,OSE),将其称之为卵巢表皮癌。由于先前研究人员未找到合适的动物模型,卵巢表皮上皮细胞的培养方法在近期才得以确立。作者旨在于总结卵巢表皮上皮的生物学特性及其细胞培养方法和不同物种间卵巢表皮上皮特性的变化。
