不同剂量25羟基维生素D3对断奶前犊牛生长性能、营养物质表观消化率、血浆代谢物及粪便菌群的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮添加不同剂量25羟基维生素D₃[25(OH)VD₃]对断奶前犊牛生长性能、营养物质表观消化率、血浆代谢物及粪便菌群的影响。选取18头健康、体重[(40.68±1.20)kg]相近的新生荷斯坦犊牛,随机分为3个组,每组6头牛。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,不添加25(OH)VD₃;试验组每头犊牛每天分别在基础饲粮中添加6000(低剂量组)和12000 IU(高剂量组)的25(OH)VD₃。试验期56 d。结果表明:1)与对照组相比,低剂量组和高剂量组体重和平均日增重显著提高(P<0.05),高剂量组体高显著提高(P<0.05),低剂量组和高剂量组粪便评分显著降低(P<0.05)。2)与对照组相比,低剂量组和高剂量组干物质表观消化率显著提高(P<0.05),高剂量组中性洗涤纤维(P=0.05)和钙表观消化率(P<0.05)显著提高。3)与对照组相比,低剂量组和高剂量组血浆25(OH)VD₃和钙含量显著提高(P<0.05),高剂量组血浆磷含量显著提高(P<0.05)。4)与对照组相比,低剂量组和高剂量组血浆白细胞介素-2含量显著降低(P<0.05)。5)与对照组相比,低剂量组和高剂量组粪便中毛螺菌科(Lachnospiraceae)和普雷沃式菌科(Prevotellaceae)相对丰度显著提高(P<0.05),粪便中鼠杆菌科(Muribaculaceae)、克里斯滕森菌科(Christensenellaceae)、螺旋体科(Spirochaetaceae)和未培养_细菌_o_柔膜菌纲_RF39(uncultured_bacterium_o_Mollicutes_RF39)相对丰度显著降低(P<0.05)。由此可见,饲粮添加25(OH)VD₃可以提高断奶前犊牛生长性能,促进营养物质消化吸收,降低炎症反应,改善粪便菌群,降低腹泻发生。     

猪UCP3基因的分离与多态分析

解偶联蛋白3是一种线粒体内膜上的转运蛋白,可以使氧化过程与ADP磷酸化过程解偶联。本研究分离了猪UCP3基因的外显子2~3和外显子6。经过序列分析,发现猪UCP3基因共有3处框移突变和18个SNP位点。在猪UCP3片段中分别包含一个SmaⅠ和SduⅠ酶切位点。UCP3片段SmaⅠ位点在大白×梅山F2家系中经PCR-RFLP分析,表现为AA、AB和BB 3种基因型,A基因频率为0.57,B基因频率为0.43。因此,可以将UCP3基因作为猪分子遗传育种的候选基因。

Effects of N-methyl-D, L-aspartate on secretion of growth hormone-releasing hormone from the boar hypothalamic-preoptic area and median eminence in vitro

N-methyl-D, L-aspartate (NMA) elicited secretion of growth hormone (GH)-releasing hormone from both the hypothalamic-preoptic area and the median eminence that were collected from boars. We suggest that the previously described increase in GH secretion that follows peripheral treatment of swine with NMA is attributable, at least in part, to NMA-stimulated secretion of GH-releasing hormone from the central nervous system.     

Egg quality and lipid composition of eggs from hens fed Camelina sativa

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding Camelina sativa to layer birds on egg production, egg quality characteristics, egg lipids, and fatty acid and lipid oxidation products. Fifty-eight-week-old ISA Brown Leghorn laying hens (n = 48) were kept in individual cages and were fed a corn- and soybean meal-based diet with added Camelina meal at 0%, (control), 5%, (CAM5), 10% (CAM10), and 15% (CAM15). The experimental diets were fed for a period of 80 d. Hen-day egg production was lowest for CAM15 (P < 0.05). A significant reduction in yolk weight was observed for CAM10 and CAM15 eggs when compared with control eggs (P < 0.05). Yolk weight, as a percentage of egg weight, was lower for CAM10 and CAM15 eggs, whereas albumen weight, as a percentage of egg weight, was higher in CAM10 and CAM15 eggs than in control eggs (P < 0.05). The yolk:albumen ratio was higher in control eggs than in CAM10 and CAM15 eggs (P < 0.05). Egg total fat content was lowest for CAM15 eggs and was 31.5, 31.9, 30.8, and 29.5 for control, CAM5, CAM10, and CAM15 eggs, respectively (P < 0.05). Total n-3 fatty acids constituted 0.32% in control eggs compared with 2.54, 2.69, and 2.99% in CAM5, CAM10, and CAM15 eggs (P < 0.05). An 8-fold increase in docosahexaenoic acid was observed in CAM15 eggs when compared with control eggs (P < 0.05). The n-6:n-3 ratio was 14.8, 5.6, 4.6, and 4.3 for control, CAM5, CAM10, and CAM15 eggs, respectively (P < 0.05). Total saturated fats were lowest for CAM5 and CAM10 eggs. Eggs from the CAM15 regimen had higher TBA-reactive substance values (P < 0.05) than those from the CAM5, CAM10, or control regimen. Camelina meal could be incorporated into poultry rations as a source of energy, protein, and essential n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. However, inclusion of more than 10% Camelina meal in the hen diet may affect egg lipid quality aspects. Therefore, measures for minimizing lipid peroxidation should be used to enhance egg quality and lipid stability.     

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.     

基于表面等离子共振技术鉴定鸡补体受体2与其配体chC3 d的亲和力

鸡补体受体2(Chicken complement receptor 2, chCR2)是一种表达于鸡B淋巴细胞表面的跨膜蛋白,chCR2可以与其生理学配体鸡补体组分3 d(Chicken complement component 3 d, chC3 d)相互作用。目前评估受体与配体亲和力的方法主要有表面等离子共振技术(Surface plasmon resonance, SPR)和生物膜干涉技术(Biolayer interferometry, BLI)等。旨在利用表面等离子共振技术鉴定chCR2受体分子与其配体chC3 d分子的亲和力。成功构建了重组真核表达载体pTT5-chCR2和pTT5-chC3 d;利用HEK 293F表达系统表达了His-chCR2和His-chC3 d蛋白;利用NI柱纯化系统纯化了His-chCR2和His-chC3 d蛋白;利用表面等离子共振技术,通过分析chCR2与chC3 d结合的动力学参数得出两者之间的平衡解离常数KD为1.37μmol/L。结果表明chCR2与其配体chC3 d之间的亲和力较高。     

PA-X基因的长度变化对H3N2犬流感病毒复制能力和致病性的影响

H3N2犬流感病毒(canine influenza virus, CIV)已在中国多地的犬群中流行,是禽流感跨宿主感染并形成新分支的近期案例。研究表明,PA-X基因与甲型流感病毒适应新宿主的能力相关,且其长度能够影响甲型流感病毒的复制及致病能力。为了解PA-X基因的长度变化对H3N2 CIV复制能力及致病力的影响,本研究利用H3N2 CIV的8质粒操作系统,拯救了三株重组H3N2 CIV毒株：PA-X基因表达大小为232个氨基酸多肽的亲本病毒CIV＿PA-X＿232;对PA编码区第191、192位氨基酸的密码子进行改造,PA-X基因不表达蛋白的重组病毒CIV＿PA-X＿Knock;对PA+1编码区第232位氨基酸进行突变,PA-X基因表达大小为252个氨基酸多肽的重组病毒CIV＿PA-X＿252。通过比较3株重组病毒的聚合酶活性,在MDCK细胞中的复制效率及对小鼠致病性的差异,来评价表达不同长度的PA-X基因对H3N2 CIV的影响。结果显示,CIV＿PA-X＿252和CIV＿PA-X＿Knock的聚合酶活性显著(P<0.05)高于CIV＿PA-X＿232,且CIV＿PA-X＿...     

河南省部分地区猪流行性腹泻病毒ORF3和N基因的克隆及其遗传进化分析

为探究河南省猪流行性腹泻病毒部分毒株的遗传进化情况,采用RT-PCR对2017年2月至2018年1月在河南省部分地区猪场收集到的25份PEDV阳性病料进行ORF3和N基因的扩增,并对其进行克隆、序列比对及遗传进化分析。结果显示,PEDV毒株的ORF3基因序列是由675个核苷酸组成的,与经典毒株CV777之间核苷酸及氨基酸同源性分别为95.2%~97.5%和95.1%~96.9%。N基因之间的核苷酸与氨基酸同源性分别为96.2%~100%和93.8%~99.8%;与经典毒株CV777核苷酸与氨基酸的同源性分别为94.7%~95.8%和93.2%~96.8%。河南部分地区PEDV流行毒株与经典毒株CV777不在同一分支,说明猪场暴发猪流行性腹泻与免疫接种疫苗后依旧难以控制的原因,可能与大多数PEDV河南流行株发生变异有关。
