FZD5在山羊妊娠早期的表达及激素调控

实验旨在研究雌性山羊早期妊娠和发情周期中 Frizzled-5(FZD5)蛋白在子宫中的表达,以及类固醇激素对 FZD5 的表达调控。选取发情周期、早期妊娠及雌激素(50 μg/mL)与孕酮(50 ng/mL)处理山羊的子宫组织,采用免疫组织化学染色、荧光定量 PCR和 Western blot检测 FZD5在山羊子宫中的表达规律。结果表明:FZD5 蛋白在山羊妊娠早期的子宫腔上皮和腺上皮中表达;FZD5 mRNA 和蛋白在胚胎与子宫的黏附前(D6)和黏附中(D16)表达较高,在黏附后(D19)和胎盘形成早期(D25)呈下降趋势;孕酮处理导致FZD5表达降低,表明山羊子宫中孕酮下调 FZD5的表达。研究提示FZD5可能在山羊胚胎着床过程中发挥作用。

Clenbuterol诱导载酯蛋白D在猪脂肪组织中表达加强

Clenbuterol(CLB,盐酸克伦特罗),俗称瘦肉精。由于其在动物体内广泛残留,可能导致食用此类产品的人中毒而被禁止使用,但已有研究表明该制剂可显著减少猪脂肪沉积,因此,对其分子机制进行深入研究将具有重要的理论与实践价值。本研究通过对家猪饲喂高剂量clenbuterol(≥1.5mg/kg体重),提高瘦肉率10%左右。通过实时荧光定量PCR技术对脂肪组织中与脂类代谢密切相关的4个基因研究发现,饲喂clenbuterol的猪脂肪组织内载酯蛋白D(apolipoprotein D,apoD)mRNA丰度增加超过2倍,而脂蛋白酯酶(lipoprotein lipase,lpl)、硬酯酰辅酶A去饱和酶(stearoyl-CoA desaturase,scd)和激素敏感脂酶(hormone sensitive lipase,hsl)mRNA丰度变化不明显。因此,推断clenbuterol通过改变部分脂代谢关键基因的表达来实现减少脂肪积累。载酯蛋白D可能是CLB应答基因之一。     

O型口蹄疫病毒P1-2A3C基因在家蚕杆状病毒表达系统中的表达

口蹄疫是一种严重危害畜牧业生产的烈性传染病。为了促进O型口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)基因工程活载体疫苗的研制,选取O型FMDV编码序列中的衣壳蛋白前体P1-2A基因和蛋白酶3C基因,插入家蚕杆状病毒转移载体pVL1393中,构建重组载体pVL-P1-2A3C,并与线性化病毒Bm-BacPAK6 DNA共转染家蚕BmN细胞,获得重组病毒Bm-P1-2A3C。将重组病毒感染家蚕5龄幼虫,以双抗体夹心ELISA法和间接血凝方法检测血淋巴中的表达产物:目的蛋白在感染病毒后120 h的蚕血淋巴中表达量最高,抗原表达呈阳性的最大稀释倍数为1∶128。结果显示O型FMDV的P1-2A3C基因已在家蚕体内获得表达。     

Outbreak of acute bovine viral diarrhea in Brazilian beef cattle: clinicopathological findings and molecular characterization of a wild-type BVDV strain subtype 1b

When first described in 1946, bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) was characterized as an acute transmissible disease associated with severe leucopenia, high fever, depression, diarrhea, gastrointestinal erosions, and hemorrhages. Recently the severe acute form has been related only to some hypervirulent BVDV-2 strains. This article reports the detection of BVDV-1b associated with an acute and fatal outbreak of BVD in a Brazilian beef cattle herd. Depression, anorexia, watery diarrhea, sialorrhea, and weakness were observed in six steers. One of these animals was evaluated for laboratorial, clinical, and pathological alterations. Laboratory findings were non-specific; clinically, the animal was weak, with dehydration and erosive oral lesions. Pathological alterations were predominant at the tongue, esophagus, and rumen. A RT-PCR assay using primers to partially amplify the 5′ untranslated region (5′UTR) of the BVDV genome was performed and identified BVDV in all clinical samples analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of BVDV derived from lymph node revealed that this strain was clustered within the BVDV subtype 1b. This differentiating was only possible to be performed by molecular characterization since both clinical presentation and pathologic findings were similar to BVDV-2 infection.     

农杆菌介导的朝鲜碱茅PuP5CS基因转化紫花苜蓿的研究

为提高紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa)的抗逆性,利用在朝鲜碱茅(Puccinellia chinampoensis)已克隆的Pu P5CS基因成功构建了p CAMBIA3300-Pu P5CS表达载体,以子叶为外植体,通过农杆菌介导共培养法转化紫花苜蓿"公农5号"(M.sativa cv.Gongnong No.5),并以2.0 mg·L-1的草铵膦进行筛选,抗性愈伤组织诱导率为22.4%,经草铵膦筛选的植株进行PCR检测和RT-PCR检测。结果显示,共获得11株转化植株,表明Pu P5CS基因已转入T0紫花苜蓿植株,且能够在RNA水平上正常表达。     

Expression of 14-3-3 σ protein in normal and neoplastic canine mammary gland

14-3-3 σ protein is a negative cell cycle regulator, with both reduced and elevated levels associated with cancer in humans. This study assessed the expression of this protein in canine mammary tissues using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. 14-3-3 σ was detected in 97% of the mammary tissue samples examined and was found in both myoepithelial (MECs) and epithelial (ECs) cells. Expression levels were elevated and reduced in neoplastic ECs and MECs, respectively (P < 0.001). Intense expression of 14-3-3 σ was detected in neoplastic ECs infiltrating blood vessels and lymph nodes and suggests a possible role for this protein in the malignant transformation of mammary neoplasms. Moreover, double immunostaining for 14-3-3 σ and the MEC – specific marker p63, confirmed that 14-3-3 σ is a highly sensitive marker of MECs since all p63 – positive cells were also positive for 14-3-3 σ. However, this protein is not exclusive to MECs as ECs also labelled positively.     

供磷水平对‘热研5号'柱花草-根瘤菌共生体系的影响

为研究不同供磷水平对热研5号柱花草(Stylosanthes guianensis‘Reyan No.5')-根瘤菌共生体系的影响,利用水培试验对接种7株不同根瘤菌的柱花草进行3个磷浓度的处理,通过对柱花草干重、植株含氮量、根瘤数、固氮酶活性的测定及分析确定磷对共生体系的影响。结果表明:低磷不利于柱花草及根瘤菌共生体系的生长;菌株YM11-1,FS3-1-1在高磷时固氮促生效果最佳,菌株LZ3 2,RJS9-2,BS1-1,CJ1则在中等磷条件下固氮促生效果最佳,磷对菌株PN13-3的影响不大。     

Nsp9基因实时荧光定量PCR检测方法的建立及其在感染细胞过程中表达量的变化

试验旨在建立猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,PRRSV）Nsp9基因的实时荧光定量PCR检测方法,并探究其在感染细胞过程中表达量的变化。根据PPRSVNsp9基因序列设计引物,建立基于SYBR Green Ⅰ检测模式的实时荧光定量PCR。结果显示,PRRSV Nsp9基因在1×10⁴~1×10⁸拷贝/μL范围内有很好的线性关系,扩增产物的熔解曲线只有1个单特异峰,无引物二聚体。该方法与猪戊肝病毒（HEV）、猪流感病毒（SIV）、伪狂犬病病毒（PRV）基因组均无交叉反应,可重复性好,组内变异系数小,可用于临床PRRSV检测。在病毒感染细胞过程中,Nsp9基因表达量逐步升高,36 h达到最高。本研究为探究病毒复制规律与临床疫苗生产奠定了理论基础。
