贵州从江香猪PDK4、FGF10基因的克隆及组织表达分析

试验旨在克隆获得PDK4、FGF10基因,并研究大白猪与从江香猪不同组织中PDK4、FGF10基因mRNA的表达差异。采用RT-PCR分别克隆从江香猪PDK4、FGF10基因并进行生物信息学分析,利用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测PDK4、FGF10基因在大白猪和从江香猪不同组织中mRNA的相对表达量。结果显示,从江香猪PDK4基因的编码区全长1 224 bp,编码407个氨基酸;FGF10基因的编码区全长636 bp,编码211个氨基酸。经BLAST软件进行同源性比对,发现从江香猪PDK4基因与羊、马、人的核苷酸序列同源性分别为93%、92%和91%;FGF10基因与羊、牛、人、鼠的核苷酸序列同源性分别为94%、93%、93%和90%。由PDK4基因系统进化树可知,从江香猪与牛、绵羊亲缘关系较近;由FGF10基因系统进化树可知,从江香猪与绵羊、牛、人、猕猴亲缘关系较近,与小鼠和鸡亲缘关系较远。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,在从江香猪不同组织中,PDK4基因在肾脏中的表达量最高,在胃和脂肪中表达量较高,FGF10基因在胃中表达量最高,在肾脏和脂肪中表达量较高,两个基因在背最长肌中的表达量均最低;在大白猪的不同组织中,PDK4、FGF10基因在脂肪中的表达量均最高,PDK4基因在背最长肌中的表达量最低,而FGF10基因在心脏中表达量最低。本试验成功克隆了从江香猪PDK4、FGF10基因,并检测了其在大白猪与从江香猪不同组织中的表达,为进一步研究PDK4、FGF10基因在脂质代谢及脂肪沉积等方面的调控作用提供科学依据。     

原位杂交技术用于虹彩病毒对美国青蛙侵染的诊断

蛙虹彩病毒（Rana grylio virus,RGV)能引起鱼类、两栖类和爬行类水生动物严重的系统性疾病，RGV是从我国患病蛙中分离到一种虹彩病毒。体外扩增的RGV经人工方法感染幼龄美国青蛙（Rana grylio)，运用原位杂交技术，分别对感染1-3d后的蛙心、肺、肾、肠、脾、肝等6种组织进行RGV分子定位和检测，结果显示，在幼蛙的肺和肠中有较强的阳性信号，在其他组织中也检测到RGV的存在。本试验探讨了RGV感染早期在宿主体内的增殖及在不同组织中的分布状况，建立了一种彩虹病毒的早期诊断方法，并为揭示RGV的致病机制奠定了基础。     

Growth performance,carcass quality characteristics and colonic microbiota profiles in finishing pigs fed diets with different inclusion levels of rice distillers’ by‐product

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diets containing rice distillers’ by‐product (RDP) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and gut microbiota of fattening pigs. Twenty‐four crossbred finishing pigs (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire), 56.9 ± 3.1 kg initial body weight, were randomly allocated to three groups. For 56 days, pigs were fed one of three diets including RDP0 (control), RDP15 (15% RDP in DM), and RDP30 (30% RDP in DM). With RDP level in diet, average daily gain and backfat thickness linearly increased (p < 0.05), and drip loss tended to increase (p ≤ 0.08). In addition, 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon profiling showed that RDP was associated with modulation of colonic microbiota composition, especially at family and genus levels. Relative abundance of Porphyromonadaceae and Erysipelotrichaceae families in colonic digesta increased with inclusion of RDP, while that of Enterobacteriaceae decreased. The proportion of genera unclassified Erysipelotrichaceae, and Butyrivibrio increased as inclusion of RDP. These results indicate that up to 30% inclusion in diet of finishing pigs, RDP can modulate colonic microbiota composition, and induces an improvement of animal growth and fat deposition.     

Embryo collection from pigs post‐pseudopregnancy induced by estradiol dipropionate

We aimed to define whether embryo collection carried out after pseudopregnancy was of similar outcome and quality as after artificial abortion. To induce pseudopregnancy, 30 gilts or sows were given 20 mg intramuscular estradiol dipropionate (EDP) 10–11 days after the onset of estrus. Ten additional pigs were inseminated artificially at natural estrus as a control group. Prostaglandin F_2α (PGF_2α) was administered twice with a 24 hr interval beginning 15, 20, or 25 days after EDP‐treatment (n = 10 per group) or between 23 and 39 days after artificial insemination in control pigs. Following this, all pigs were given 1,000 IU equine chorionic gonadotropin and 500 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and then inseminated. Embryos were recovered 6 or 7 days after hCG treatment and outcome was recorded. There was no significant difference in the number of normal embryos collected from the pigs with PGF_2α initiated at different time points or from the control group. Embryonic developmental stages 7 days after hCG treatment also did not differ among groups. These results indicate that the use of EDP to induce pseudopregnancy, followed by PGF_2α administration to synchronize estrus for subsequent embryo harvest, is a suitable alternative to the artificial abortion method.

Bone morphological analyses in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rats

The Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rat, a model for obese type 2 diabetes, shows bone quantitative abnormalities, namely low bone mineral density (BMD). The objective of this study was to evaluate bone morphological changes, in particular identifying the bone qualitative abnormalities, in the SDT fatty rat. Male SDT fatty rats showed increases in total trabecular area and trabecular number and decreases in trabecular thickness in cancellous bones of the proximal tibia, indicating trabecular miniaturization. The SDT fatty rat is useful for investigation of pathophysiological changes in bone quality in diabetic osteoporosis.

Nutrient digestibility of extruded canola meal in ileal-cannulated growing pigs and effects of its feeding on diet nutrient digestibility and growth performance in weaned pigs

Canola meal (CM) contains less crude protein (CP) and more fiber and anti-nutritional factors such as glucosinolates than soybean meal (SBM) and consequently has a lower nutrient digestibility. Therefore, processing strategies that may increase the feeding value of CM warrant study. In two experiments, the effects of extrusion of Brassica napus CM on apparent (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA), apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE) in growing pigs, and growth performance and diet digestibility in weaned pigs were assessed. Solvent-extracted CM was extruded using a single-screw extruder at three screw speeds: 250 (CM-250), 350 (CM-350), or 450 (CM-450) rpm. In exp. 1, in a double 4 × 4 Latin square, eight ileal-cannulated barrows (initial body weight [BW], 68.1 kg) were fed corn starch-based diets containing 50% CM or extruded CM. The CM sample contained 43.2% CP, 33.2% total dietary fiber (TDF), and 8.9 µmol of total glucosinolates/g on a dry matter (DM) basis. Extrusion increased (P < 0.05) the AID of CP, reduced (P < 0.05) apparent hindgut fermentation of CP, and decreased (P < 0.05) predicted net energy (NE) value of diets. Extrusion increased diet AID and CM SID of most indispensable AA by 3.1 to 5.3%-units. In exp. 2, 200 weaned pigs (initial BW, 8.3 kg) were fed diets containing 20% SBM, CM, or extruded CM starting 2 wk postweaning for 3 wk. The CM sample contained 42.7% CP, 28.3% TDF, and 5.3 µmol total glucosinolates/g DM. Wheat-based diets provided 2.3 Mcal NE/kg and 5.1 g SID Lys/Mcal NE. Dietary inclusion of extruded CM replacing SBM decreased (P < 0.05) diet ATTD of DM, GE and CP, and DE value. Average daily feed intake, average daily gain (ADG), and gain:feed (G:F) of pigs did not differ between extruded CM and SBM diets and were not affected by extrusion, but increasing extruder screw speed linearly increased (P < 0.05) ADG for day 1 to 7 and G:F for the entire trial. In conclusion, extrusion increased diet AID and CM SID of AA but not DE and predicted NE values of CM. However, increasing extruder speed did not further increase the SID of most of the AA of CM in growing pigs. Dietary inclusion of 20% CM or extruded CM did not affect the growth performance in weaned pigs.
