利用高密度SNP对猪血糖和糖基化血清蛋白性状的全基因组关联分析

【目的】测定苏太猪和白色杜洛克×二花脸F₂资源家系240 d血糖（glucose,GLU）和糖基化血清蛋白（glycosylated serum proteins,GSP）浓度,采用全基因组关联分析定位影响GLU和GSP的染色体位点,为最终鉴别影响该性状的因果基因奠定基础,同时为人类低血糖症和糖尿病的遗传学研究提供参考。【方法】分别将435头苏太猪和760头白色杜洛克×二花脸F2资源家系F₂个体在相同条件下饲养至240日龄进行统一屠宰,收集血液后分离血清,利用全自动生化分析仪测定GLU和GSP浓度。采集猪只耳组织提取DNA并测定DNA浓度。将质检合格的DNA样品利用Illumina porcine 60K SNP芯片判定基因型。运用PLINK软件对SNP判型结果进行质控,将合格的SNP标记用于后续的关联性分析,利用广义混合线性模型及R语言GenABEL软件包进行全基因组关联分析,定位影响苏太猪和白色杜洛克×二花脸F₂资源家系240 d血清GLU和GSP含量的染色体位点。根据全基因组关联分析结果从Ensembl或NCBI网站上分析可能的位置候选基因。【结果】全基因组关联分析共检测到5个与血清GLU和GSP达染色体显著水平相关的SNP位点。其中白色杜洛克×二花脸F₂资源群体在10号染色体（SSC10）24.67Mb处定位到与血清GSP含量显著相关的SNP（ALGA0057739,P=1.58×10^-5）,解释表型变异为3.72%。苏太猪群体共检测到2个与血清GSP显著相关的SNP（ALGA0108699和DRGA0017552,P=1.45×10^-5）,解释表型变异均为3.72%。使用猪参考基因组序列（10.2版本）,无法定位到具体的染色体位置。通过人、猪比较基因组分析,这两个SNP都位于SSC8,距STPG2基因3’端约180.0-193.0 kb。将两个群体进行Meta分析,未发现新的与GSP显著相关的SNP;在1号染色体250.32Mb处（DRGA0002016,P=2.48×10^-5）和14号染色体43.97Mb处（ASGA0062984,P=1.29×10^-5）,定位到与血清GLU显著相关的SNP。通过搜寻显著相关SNP所在染色体区域内的注释基因,发现ASPM、TRPM3和KCTD10 等基因是影响血清GSP和GLU的重要候选基因。【结论】检测到5个显著影响猪血清GLU和GSP的SNP位点。这些SNP位点所处染色体区域内的ASPM、TRPM3、STPG2和KCTD10基因是影响血清GSP和GLU的重要候选基因。

Tyrosine Ameliorates Some of the Clinical,Biochemical and Haematological Effects of Acute Stress Associated with Transportation of Desert Sheep

We studied some clinical, biochemical and haematological variables in Desert (Najdi) sheep acutely stressed in the course of individual road transportation, and the influence thereon of pretreatment with tyrosine. Transportation for 30 min resulted in variable but statistically insignificant increases in heart, pulse and respiratory rates. It also caused significant increases in the plasma concentration of cortisol (from 43.5 to 101.7 mmol/L) and glucose (from 3.1 to 4.5 mmol/L), and a decrease in that of magnesium (from 0.85 to 0.72 mmol/L). The endogenous thiocyanate level was unaffected. The transportation stress also decreased the haematocrit (PCV) and the number of lymphocytes, and increased the concentration of haemoglobin. Pretreatment of sheep with tyrosine at a dose of 100 mg/kg by the intravenous route significantly ameliorated the stress-induced clinical, biochemical and haematological changes. The treatment caused no overt adverse effects.     

Evolution of Fructosaminaemia and Glucaemia during the Growth of Unweaned and Early Weaned Half-bred Zebu Calves

The purposes of the study were to obtain the confidence intervalsfor serum fructosamine concentrations in unweaned and early weaned calves, to verify the changes in this glycated protein during growth, when glucaemia declines, and to assess the changes in both parameters attributable to stress or alarm. Sixty out of 120 suckling half-bred zebu calves (60–75 days old) were weaned at day 0 and then received a commercial balanced diet, while the remainder continued to suck. Blood samples were taken at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 60, 90 and 120 days and the serum fructosamine and glucose concentrations were measured by conventional methods. Both biochemical parameters declined with time, but there were no statistical differences between the unweaned and weaned calves. The fall in fructosamine concentration correlated significantly with the decline in glucose concentrations in both groups. The confidence interval for fructosamine concentration decreased with age, from 294–303 mol/L at 2 months old to 215–232 mol/L at 6 months old. At the same time, glucaemia declined from 7.5–8.6 mmol/L to 4.8–5.3 mmol/L. Acute elevations in glucaemia, especially in the younger calves, were attributed to alarms, such as those caused by handling and blood extraction. The absence of resultant increases in fructosamine concentration discounts the existence of prolonged hyperglucaemias (stress) in early weaned calves.

The role ofPseudomonas spp. and competition for carbon,nitrogen and iron in the enhancement of appressorium formation byColletotrichum coccodes on velvetleaf

Colletotrichum coccodes is currently being investigated as a mycoherbicide against the weed velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti). Two isolates ofPseudomonas spp. (Ps2 and Ps5) reduced the percentage of germ tubes and increased appressorial formation ofC. coccodes on detached leaves of velvetleaf. A study was conducted to see whether this effect could be attributed to competition for nutrients or iron betweenC. coccodes andPseudomonas spp. Ps2 and Ps5 had no effect on early spore germination, but reduced the percentage of germ tubes at 24 and 30 h, compared to the nontreated control. This reduction was diminished by the addition of nutrients but not Fe³⁺. Ps2 and Ps5 stimulated the formation of dark-coloured appressoria without germ tubes (AWGT), but this stimulation was diminished by the addition of nutrients or Fe³⁺. Germ tube branching at 30 h was also inhibited by the bacteria, but was not diminished by the addition of nutrients or iron. EDTA stimulated conidial germination at 10 h, which was reduced by the addition of Fe³⁺. However, EDTA did not stimulate the formation of appressoria (AWGT). These results suggest that the reduction in the percentage of germ tubes and the increase in the percentage of appressoria induced by the bacteria may be due to the competition for carbon or nitrogen. Iron competition may also be involved in the stimulation of appressorial formation, but not in the reduction in germ tube percentage and branching. Phylloplane bacteria may compete for carbon, nitrogen and iron, limiting the saprophytic phase of the pathogen on the phylloplane and accelerating the development of the parasitic phase. This may enhance the field efficacy ofC. coccodes as a biocontrol agent against velvetleaf.     

Effect of regular walking exercise on glucose tolerance and insulin response to i.v. glucose infusion in growing beef steers

The purpose of the present paper was to investigate the effect of regular walking exercise on glucose tolerance and insulin response to i.v. glucose infusion in growing beef steers. Four crossbred beef steers walked on a treadmill during a 6 week exercise period (1.2 km/h, 1 h/day and 5 days/week). The changes in plasma glucose and insulin levels following glucose infusion were analyzed immediately prior to (bodyweight: 260.4 ± 24.2 kg) and after (295.7 ± 30.1 kg) the exercise period. The basal levels of plasma glucose (86.4 vs. 82.0 mg/dL, P = 0.040) and insulin (24.5 vs. 14.3 μU/mL, P = 0.016) were significantly lower after the exercise period. Further, the increase in the levels of plasma glucose (420.4 vs. 280.8 mg/dL, P < 0.001) and insulin (94.5 vs. 73.1 μU/mL, P = 0.028) following the glucose infusion decreased after the exercise period. The area under the curve of plasma glucose (108.8 vs. 62.9 mg/dL per min, P < 0.001) and insulin (53.6 vs. 29.7 μU/mL per min, P = 0.018) indicated more rapid clearance of exogenous glucose and less insulin secretion for glucose clearance after the exercise period. These results suggest that regular exercise improves glucose tolerance, with lower insulin response to glucose infusion in growing steers, as observed in rodents and humans.
