腐蹄病节瘤拟杆菌的分子致病机制的研究进展

腐蹄病是反刍动物绵羊、山羊、鹿和奶牛等常见的一种高度接触性传染病。节瘤拟杆菌是致病作用的主要病菌之一,它是通过IV型纤毛和细胞外蛋白酶而产生作用。但从腐蹄病发病症状看,节瘤拟杆菌所致疾病的严重程度不是相同的,据此节瘤拟杆菌被分为毒性、弱毒性和良性菌,这种分类通过对该菌基因组毒性关联蛋白Vap(Virulence-associated protein)区域和毒性相关位点vrl(Virulence Related Locus)区域的研究,发现其致病特点与基因的顺序有很大联系。     

Mutants in wheat showing multipathogen resistance to biotrophic fungal pathogens

Five fast-neutron-derived mutants were isolated from the wheat line Hobbit 'sib' that show enhanced field resistance towards Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici , the causal agent of yellow rust. Subsequent testing showed the yellow rust resistance phenotypes to differ between mutants, to be expressed at different growth stages and, in some cases, to show an isolate interaction. Three mutants, I3-48, I3-49 and I3-54, exhibited an enhanced yellow rust resistance phenotype from the third seedling leaf onwards, while mutants I3-27 and I3-30 did not show an altered yellow rust phenotype until later growth stages. Additional resistance for brown rust (causal agent Puccinia triticina ) was identified in mutants I3-27, I3-30, I3-48 and I3-49, and for powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici in mutants I3-27, I3-30, I3-48 and I3-54, although in some cases the resistance was isolate-specific.

通过对转rol基因枳橙B、D、E系及对照的高接植株春梢茎段进行萌芽诱导、增殖及试管苗生根成苗的试验,摸索出适宜枳橙快繁各种培养基配方及培养条件。结果表明,以MS+6-BA1mg/L的培养基适合于芽萌发,以MS+6-BA0.5mg/L+NAA0.05mg/L的培养基适合于芽增殖,生根则以1/2MS+NAA0.5mg/L+0.2%活性炭的组合最佳,转基因各系生根率均在93.3%以上,显著高于对照生根率(66.7%)。快繁苗移栽成活率可达90%,目前生长良好。     

猪蛔虫感染期幼虫抑制消减cDNA文库的构建

为筛选与线虫感染性相关的基因,本研究以猪蛔虫为对象,构建猪蛔虫感染期幼虫差异表达消减cDNA文库,为研究线虫期特异性发育的分子机制奠定基础。分别提取感染期幼虫和其它各期幼虫及成虫的总RNA,纯化mRNA后,采用Clontech公司PCR-selectTM试剂盒进行反转录合成cDNA并进行抑制消减杂交(SSH),构建猪蛔虫感染期幼虫差异表达的消减cDNA文库,并采用Southern斑点杂交进行消减效率的检测。随机从文库中抽取45个克隆进行测序及在线BLAST分析。试验结果表明,感染期幼虫差异表达的消减cDNA文库具有较强的特异性;在得到的41个表达序列标签(ESTs)中,有40个ESTs与已报道的基因有较高的相似性,主要代表猪蛔虫第三期幼虫基因和成虫头部基因,有1个cDNA片段可能代表新基因。猪蛔虫感染期幼虫差异表达消减cDNA文库的成功构建,为进一步研究幼虫发育差异表达基因的功能奠定了基础。     

A群猪轮状病毒JS株vp7基因序列分析

根据已发表的猪轮状病毒OSU毒株vp7基因核苷酸序列ORF两端保守区序列,设计一对特异引物,以猪轮状病毒JS毒株反转录cDNA为模板,通过PCR方法扩增出长约1000 bp目的片段。将其进行T-A克隆、序列测定和分析。结果表明,vp7基因全长1062 bp,含有一个981 bp的开放阅读框,编码326个氨基酸。与已知的15个毒株vp7全长基因的核苷酸及推导的氨基酸序列比较,同源性分别为74.5%～78.5%和75.2%～83.1%,核苷酸系统发育进化树结果表明,JS毒株与轮状病毒G9型参考毒株ICB2185、O-1亲缘关系较近,分为一个群,表明JS毒株血清型为G9型。目前,我国尚未见猪及其它动物轮状病毒G9型流行株的报道。     

Screening differentially expressed genes involved in apoptosis of primary cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons by mRNA differential display RT-PCR

AIM: To Screen and identify differentially expressed genes that involved in apoptosis model in rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs).METHODS: The rat cerebellar granule neurons were isolated and primarily cultured.Fluorescent differential display RT-PCR (FDD RT-PCR) was performed to screen differentially expressed ESTs in the apoptosis model of primarily cultured rat CGNs.ESTs were subcloned into pGEM-T EasyTM vector and then sequenced.Alignment assay in non-redunant database was applied for encoding information.Reverse Northern blotting was used to appraise the results from DDRT-PCR.RESULTS: 164 pieces of differentially expressed ESTs were obtained by FDDRT-PCR.17 of them were subcloned and sequenced.5 ESTs of 17 were confirmed to be positive results by reverse Northern blotting.CONCLUSION: DD-PCR is a rapid,simple-operation and sensitive method for screening differentially expressed genes,which would contribute to the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis/survive of CGNs.
