Recombinant hFGF-10 adenovirus promotes proliferation of kerotinocytes

AIM:To construct the recombinant adenoviral vector containing human fibroblast growth factor 10 (hFGF-10) gene, and to study the effect of the recombinant adenovirus on the proliferation of kerotinocytes. METHODS:HFGF-10 gene was amplified by PCR and ligated with shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV to get the recombinant plasmid pAdTrack-CMV-hFGF-10, which was linearized with PmeI and transferred into Escherichia coli BJ5183 containing the adenoviral bone plasmid pAdEasy-1 for homologous recombination to obtain the recombinant adenoviral plasmid pAdEasy-hFGF-10. The recombinant adenoviral plasmid was then transfected into HEK-293 cell line to package and amplify the recombinant adenovirus. The expression of hFGF-10 in HaCat cells infected with the recombinant adenovirus was detected by Western blotting. The influence of the recombinant adenovirus on the proliferation of kerotinocytes was checked by MTT. RESULTS:The recombinant adenovirus containing hFGF-10 gene was successfully constructed, which effectively infected HaCat cells. The result of Western blotting showed that a protein in culture media of the infected HaCat cells reacted with hFGF-10 antibody. The recombinant adenovirus stimulated the proliferation of kerotinocytes. CONCLUSION:HaCat cells infected with the recombinant adenovirus expresses and secrets hFGF-10 protein, which promotes the proliferation of HaCat cells.     

Effects of ganmao shuangjie heji on the inflammatory damage in the lungs of mice infected by IV FM1

AIM: To establish the influenza infected mouse model and study the anti-inflammatory effect of ganmao shuangjie heji. METHODS: IV FM1 infected mice were used as the animal model. The changes of pathology and the cytokine TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-10 in the lung were observed by HE staining and ELISA (double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) after ganmao shuangjie heji treatment. RESULTS: After infected by influenza virus, severe interstitial pneumonia was induced in the model group. Mild interstitial pneumonia was observed in ganmao shuangjie heji treated group. The protein expressions of cytokine TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-10 were higher in model group than those in the control group. The protein expressions of TNF-α and IFN-γ in ganmao shuangjie heji treated group decreased and IL-10 expression increased significantly compared with model group. CONCLUSION: Ganmao shuangjie heji decreases the expressions of TNF-α and IFN-γ, and increases the expression of IL-10, thus, alleviates inflammatory injury. The clinical application of this medicine can shorten the course of disease.

Gene expression of fatty acid-binding proteins, fatty acid transport proteins (cd36 and FATP) and β-oxidation-related genes in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fed fish oil or vegetable oil

Relative gene expression pattern of fatty acid transport proteins (FATP and cd36), intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP3, FABP10 and FABP11), β-oxidation-related genes [carnitine palmitoyl transferase II (CPTII), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β (PPARβ), acyl-CoA oxidase (AOX), long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase (FACS), acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (dehydrogenase)] and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) was assessed by RT-qPCR in Atlantic salmon muscle (red and white), liver, heart, myosepta and visceral fat. FABP11, a FABP isoform not previously described in Atlantic salmon, was highly expressed in visceral fat and myosepta and at the lower level in red muscle, white muscle, myosepta and heart. Furthermore, Atlantic salmon were fed either a diet containing fish oil (FO) or a complete replacement of FO with a vegetable oil blend (55% rapeseed oil, 30% palm oil and 15% linseed oil; VO) for the production cycle (27 months from start of feeding and until ∼4.5 kg mean weight). The expression of genes related to β-oxidation, fatty acid uptake and transport in the white muscle indicate ( n  = 3) significant down-regulation in VO fed Atlantic salmon and correlated with previously reported white muscle triacylglycerol stores and β-oxidation. FABP11 in visceral fat and myosepta was also down-regulated in VO fed fish.     

黄土丘陵区白羊草与达乌里胡枝子混播草地土壤呼吸日变化特征

土壤呼吸是反映土壤质量和肥力性状的重要指标,阐明禾―豆混播草地土壤呼吸作用的变化规律及其影响因素,可以为准确评估混播草地的环境效应及响应提供依据。在2011和2012年6月份,采用动态密闭气室分析法,比较了白羊草(Bothriochloa ischaemum)与达乌里胡枝子(Lespedeza davurica)不同比例间作混播草地总土壤呼吸速率的日变化特征、混播植物贡献率以及温度敏感性等。结果表明,不同混播比例草地的总土壤呼吸速率日变化为单峰型曲线,峰值出现在12:00~14:00。总土壤呼吸速率日均值高低顺序为单播白羊草白羊草和达乌里胡枝子间作单播达乌里胡枝子。不同间作比例草地的总土壤呼吸速率与白昼气温相关显著(P0.05),而与5、10和15 cm土层白昼土壤温度关系不明显;单播条件下,白羊草草丛的土壤呼吸对温度的敏感性高于达乌里胡枝子;各草地土壤呼吸Q10值的变化范围为1.48~2.61,以单播白羊草最高,单播达乌里胡枝子和两者间作混播草地间无显著差异(P0.05)。

Fungal growth on a common wood substrate across a tropical elevation gradient: Temperature sensitivity, community composition, and potential for above-ground decomposition

Fungal breakdown of plant material rich in lignin and cellulose (i.e. lignocellulose) is of central importance to terrestrial carbon (C) cycling due to the abundance of lignocellulose above and below-ground. Fungal growth on lignocellulose is particularly influential in tropical forests, as woody debris and plant litter contain between 50% and 75% lignocellulose by weight, and can account for 20% of the C stored in these ecosystems. In this study, we evaluated factors affecting fungal growth on a common wood substrate along a wet tropical elevation gradient in the Peruvian Andes. We had three objectives: 1) to determine the temperature sensitivity of fungal growth - i.e. Q₁₀, the factor by which fungal biomass increases given a 10 °C temperature increase; 2) to assess the potential for above-ground fungal colonization and growth on lignocellulose in a wet tropical forest; and 3) to characterize the community composition of fungal wood decomposers across the elevation gradient. We found that fungal growth had a Q₁₀ of 3.93 (95% CI of 2.76-5.61), indicating that fungal biomass accumulation on the wood substrate nearly quadrupled with a 10 °C increase in temperature. The Q₁₀ for fungal growth on wood at our site is higher than Q₁₀ values reported for litter decomposition in other tropical forests. Moreover, we found that above-ground fungal growth on the wood substrate ranged between 37% and 50% of that measured in the soil, suggesting above-ground breakdown of lignocellulose represents an unexplored component of the C cycle in wet tropical forests. Fungal community composition also changed significantly along the elevation gradient, and Ascomycota were the dominant wood decomposers at all elevations. Fungal richness did not change significantly with elevation, directly contrasting with diversity patterns observed for plant and animal taxa across this gradient. Significant variation in fungal community composition across the gradient suggests that the characteristics of fungal decomposer communities are, directly or indirectly, influenced by temperature.
