CRISPR/Cas System and Its Application in the Study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) / CRISPR-related protein (Cas) system is a heritable prokaryotic adaptive immune system against invading nucleic acids. It is an editing tool for many organisms that can generate highly specific gene double-strand breaks and repair them by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). Due to the complexity of its genetic manipulation, Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome research has many difficulties. Therefore, the emergence of the CRISPR/Cas system has a milestone significance for the research of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this review, we focus on the application of the CRISPR/Cas system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and summarizes the present research progress in order to provide a reference for the selection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis research methods.     

Indium-111 labeled vitamin B12 imaging of a ciliary adenoma with concurrent grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma of the leg in a Labrador Retriever

An 11-year-old, male castrated, Labrador Retriever was evaluated for the presence of rapidly growing concurrent leg and intraocular masses. Metastasis was noted in the chest at time of initial presentation. Indium-111 labeled vitamin B12 imaging was performed, and there was significant uptake by both primary tumors and the lung metastases. Enucleation and amputation were performed for palliative relief. The leg mass was a grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma and the ocular mass a ciliary adenoma. The dog remained symptom-free for approximately 10 weeks before developing signs of respiratory distress. He was euthanized 12 weeks after initial presentation, and there was diffuse infiltration of the lungs with metastatic sarcoma. Indium-111 labeled vitamin B12 imaging identified a ciliary adenoma in this case and may provide a useful differentiation technique for evaluation of intraocular and retrobulbar masses if it can be demonstrated that there is differential uptake between inflammatory or infectious conditions and neoplasia.     

In vitro effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha on canine neutrophil apoptosis

Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes: PMNs) are essential for the host defense against various infections and are often injurious to the host, causing inflammatory diseases where tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is suggested to play an important role. Since an effect of TNF-alpha on canine PMN apoptosis has not been studied, canine PMNs were stimulated with recombinant human (rh)TNF-alpha in the present study to investigate the effect of TNF-alpha on canine PMN apoptosis. PMN apoptosis and function to produce ROS were assessed by flow cytometry. Delayed apoptosis was observed in the PMNs treated with rhTNF-alpha at 100 ng/ml, accompanied by retention of capability to produce ROS. However, PMN apoptosis was accelerated by rhTNF-alpha combined with cycloheximide. Therefore, it is indicated that TNF-alpha is able to activate anti- and pro-apoptotic pathways in PMNs and that the inhibition of PMN apoptosis by TNF-alpha requires protein synthesis in the PMNs.     

低温胁迫下Ca2＋-CaM信使系统对三尖杉幼苗保护酶活性的影响

用一定浓度的CaCl2、LaCl3、EGTA、CPZ等4种效应剂根施三尖杉1年生幼苗,在25℃下预处理10d后,移入-3℃下进行低温胁迫处理,分别在胁迫后24、48、72、96h时测定过氧化氢酶（CAT）、过氧化物酶（POD）和超氧化酶（SOD）等3种保护酶的活性。结果表明：根施外源CaCl2结合低温处理可增强三尖杉幼苗3种保护酶的活性,缓解低温处理过程中保护酶活性的下降;但三尖杉幼苗内源保护酶活性可被EGTA、LaCl3以及CPZ等3种效应剂抑制。说明三尖杉幼苗抗冻性的形成受Ca2＋-CaM信号传导途径的调控。     

Antibody response in vaccinated pregnant mares to recent G3BP[12] and G14P[12] equine rotaviruses

Background

Both the G3P[12] and the G14P[12] type of equine group A rotavirus (RVA) have recently become predominant in many countries, including Japan. G3 types are classified further into G3A and G3B. The G3A viruses have been circulating in Europe, Australia, and Argentina, and the G3B viruses have been circulating in Japan. However, only an inactivated vaccine containing a single G3BP[12] strain is commercially available in Japan. To assess the efficacy of the current vaccine against recently circulating equine RVA strains, we examined antibody responses in pregnant mares to recent G3BP[12] and G14P[12] strains by virus neutralization test.

Findings

After vaccination in five pregnant mares, the geometric mean serum titers of virus-neutralizing antibody to recent G3BP[12] strains increased 5.3- to 7.0-fold and were similar to that against homologous vaccine strain. Moreover, antibody titers to recent G14P[12] strains were also increased 3.0- to 3.5-fold.

Conclusions

These results suggest that inoculation of mares with the current vaccine should provide foals with virus-neutralizing antibodies against not only the G3BP[12] but also the G14P[12] RVA strain via the colostrum.

Protective effect of progesterone on PC12 cells injured by oxygen-glucose deprivation

AIM: To investigate the effects of progesterone on the cell viability and expression of glucose transporter type 3(GLUT3) in PC12 cells injured by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in attempt to prove the neuroprotection of progesterone (PROG) against the hypoxic-ischemic injury in cultured cells in vitro. METHODS: Well-differentiated PC12 cells induced by nerve growth factor were randomly divided into 3 groups. In normal group, the cells were cultured without OGD treatment. In OGD group, the culture medium was replaced by glucose-free medium and the cells were transferred to a humidified incubation chamber flushed by a gas mixture of 95% N₂ and 5% CO₂ for 30 min. After that, the cells were fed with glucose-supplemented medium and cultured under normoxic condition for 24 h. In PROG+OGD group, the cells were given the same treatments as those in OGD group except that the medium contained progesterone at concentration of 10 nmol/L. Cellular morphological changes were observed after OGD for 30 min. The cell viability was assessed by WST-8 assay. The degree of the cell damage was evaluated by determining lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage. The expression of GLUT3 at mRNA and protein levels was examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: Progesterone attenuated the cellular swelling, decreased the leakage of LDH and improved the viability of PC12 cells injured by OGD (P<0.01). The expression of GLUT3 at mRNA and protein levels in PC12 cells in PROG+OGD group was significantly higher than that in OGD group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Progesterone has protective effect on in vitro cultured PC12 cells injured by OGD. The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of GLUT3 protein.
