Biological characters of mesenchymal stem cells of human umbilical cord blood

AIM：To study the isolation,expansion and purification of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord blood (UCB),and investigate some biological identities of MSCs.METHODS：(1) MSCs of UCB,adult bone marrow (BM) and fetus BM were isolated by centrifugation with Ficoll,and the different kinds of MSCs were observed everyday.(2) Surface markers of MSCs were identified by flow cytometry.(3) The level of HGFs (TPO,SCF,FLT-3L,IL-6) secreted by different sources of MSCs was checked by ELISA method.RESULTS：(1) No difference in morphology of the colonies between UCB MSCs and BM MSCs was observed.However,the mononuclear cells needed in culture of UCB MSCs was about 3 times more than that in culture of BM MSCs.The times of UCB MSCs colony formation and confluencing were longer than that of BM in primary culture.(2) After passaged,there was no significant difference in the proliferation rates of 3 kinds of MSCs.Only 4 of 15 UCB samples contained a homogeneous population of MSCs.(3) UCB MSCs shared the same markers with BM MSCs.Neither hematopoietic marker nor immunologic recognition antigens were expressed.(4) The level of hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs) secreted by 3 kinds of MSCs was similar.CONCLUSIONS：(1) MSCs were isolated from UCB,but the amount of MSCs in UCB was smaller than that in BM,and just seldom samples of UCB contained homogeneous MSCs.(2) MSCs from UCB and BM shared the same biological characteristics,such as proliferation ability,surface markers,immunophenotypes and HGFs secretion.     

Mechanism of micronuclei formation in polyploidizated cells of Allium cepa exposed to trifluralin herbicide

The trifluralin is an agent that promotes a cellular damage due to its direct action on the microtubules. This action leads to a decontrol in the cellular division, bringing about polyploid cells. In this work, we show the evidences that the exceeding genetical material of theses polyploidizated cells tends to be eliminated from the nucleus in the form of micronucleus. Our analyses prove this fact, both by the presence of a number of cells carrying micronucleus, and by the evidences of the elimination of the exceeding material itself, after exposition of the Allium cepa root tips tested with several concentration of trifluralin herbicide. It was noticed that the residual concentration induced a number of polyploid cells, micronuclei and mini cells. Inferences about the implications of the elimination of genetic material from micronuclei, such as cell viability and apoptosis, are also presented.     

传染性支气管炎病毒S1蛋白在Vero细胞的表达与分布

将传染性支气管炎病毒（IBV）ZJ971 S1基因亚克隆到绿色荧光蛋白（GFP）表达载体pEGFP—C2中，成功构建重组表达质粒pEGFP—ZJ971-S1。重组质粒在脂质体的介导下转染Vero细胞，借助荧光显微镜在转染后4h观察到S1—GFP融合蛋白的瞬时表达。免疫细胞化学染色（ICC）结果显示，抗ZJ971 S1D蛋白单克隆抗体和鸡抗IBVZJ971全病毒血清特异性识别了S1基因转染细胞，表明S1蛋白在Vero细胞中得到有效表达。荧光显微镜观察和ICC均表明，S1表达蛋白主要分布在转染细胞的胞浆内，而胞核中未见分布，提示IBVS1蛋白内可能存在与病毒装配相关的细胞定位信号。     

几种黏膜免疫佐剂对鸡小肠IgA分泌细胞的影响

分别在新城疫Ⅳ系弱毒苗中添加黏膜免疫佐剂乳酸杆菌、CpG DNA、重组IL-2、氟化钠和大豆黄酮，经口免疫鸡后，研究十二指肠、空肠、Peyer’s斑单位面积IgA分泌细胞的变化。首先提纯鸡IgA和制备兔抗鸡IgA血清，然后应用免疫组化技术显示鸡小肠IgA分泌细胞。结果表明，在免疫后第3周、第5周乳酸杆菌组比新城疫组（ND）极显著增加各段小肠IgA分泌细胞的数量（P〈0．01）；CpGDNA、重组IL-2和大豆黄酮在整个免疫期内均明显增加鸡小肠黏膜局部IgA分泌细胞数量；NaF对鸡体黏膜局部IgA分泌细胞数量无明显增加。结果表明乳酸杆菌、CpGDNA、重组IL-2和大豆黄酮是有效的口服黏膜免疫佐剂。     

转EGFP基因山羊克隆胚的发育

利用脂质体包裹含EGFP基因的质粒,并将之导入山羊乳腺上皮细胞,经G418筛选获得阳性细胞,以阳性细胞作为核供体,利用核移植技术构建转基因克隆胚。结果表明：用转基因山羊乳腺上皮细胞作为核供体,电融合法更适合构建转基因克隆胚。转基因山羊克隆胚体外培养最佳方案是用SOFaa培养液,在培养72 h后加入10%的正常山羊血清（Normal goat serum,NGS）。荧光显微镜下观察到转基因克隆胚中EGFP的表达,大部分克隆胚发育到8-16细胞以后的时期,绿色荧光蛋白才开始逐渐表达,随着发育时间的延长,绿色荧光蛋白的表达也逐渐增强。说明外源基因在胚胎早期发育阶段可以表达,EGFP可以作为报告基因来实现对外源基因整合及表达的监测。     

F-2毒素致体外培养大鼠睾丸支持细胞DNA损伤

为探讨F-2毒素对雄性生殖机能的影响,取大鼠睾丸支持细胞进行体外培养,运用单细胞凝胶电泳技术检测51、0、20和40 mg/L的F-2毒素攻毒后24 h支持细胞DNA的损伤情况。结果显示,F-2毒素在一定浓度范围内对体外培养的支持细胞DNA产生损伤作用,且受损程度随着F-2毒素攻毒剂量而升高,具有明显量效关系。除5 mg/L剂量组外,其余各组的细胞受损率、彗星尾长和DNA损伤程度与阴性对照组相比差异极显著（P〈0.01）,表明F-2毒素对体外培养的大鼠睾丸支持细胞有毒性作用,能够损伤细胞DNA。

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.
