为阐明小菜蛾Plutella xylostella不同地理种群的遗传多样性, 应用ISSR技术对我国小菜蛾8个地理种群的遗传多样性进行了研究分析。15条引物扩增出395条ISSR条带, 其中多态性条带占89.11%, 全部个体显示了各自独特的ISSR图谱。ISSR标记的遗传多样性分析结果表明： 小菜蛾无论在物种水平上（P=89.11%, H=0.2706, I=0.4286）, 还是在种群水平上（P=88.80%, H=0.2759, I=0.4349）都表现出较高的遗传多样性。其中, 北京南口种群内遗传变异最大, 海南海口和甘肃兰州种群内遗传变异最小, 南方地区（云南、 湖北）小菜蛾种群遗传多样性明显高于北方地区（北京、 天津、 山东、 黑龙江、 甘肃）种群。据种群变异来源分析, 有5.66%的遗传变异来自种群间, 94.34%的变异来源于种群内（N_m=8.3399）, 不同地理种群间没有明显的遗传分化。本文有关小菜蛾不同地理种群基因流动和遗传变异的研究为小菜蛾抗药性的控制及田间种群的综合防治提供了有价值的分子生物学依据。     

蝗总科部分种类等位基因酶的比较研究

用水平淀粉凝胶电泳技术对采自山西太原黄陵、山西临猗伍姓湖及山西雁门关两科4种蝗虫的4个等位基因酶位点的基因频率进行了比较研究,并用BIOSYS-Ⅱ软件进行结果分析。结果表明：所研究种群的苹果酸脱氢酶（MDH）都存在两个位点,中华稻蝗的MDH-1还存在两条亚带。在所研究种群中的MDH-1图谱中,一个中等迁移率的谱带存在于所研究的4个种群中。东亚飞蝗在乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）和苹果酸酶（ME）中存在两个固定的等位基因,同时黄胫小车蝗在MDH-1中存在一个固定的等位基因,在MDH-2中存在一个独特的等位基因。在所有4个种群中,中华稻蝗遗传多样性水平最高（每个位点的等位基因数为3个,He=0.220）,黄胫小车蝗遗传多样性水平最低（每个位点的等位基因数为1.5个,He=0.013）。除中华稻蝗的MDH-1和LDH处于哈代-温伯格平衡,其余种群的4个位点的等位基因频率均不同程度的偏离哈代-温伯格平衡。等位酶数据表明这4个种群在系统发育关系方面是相近的,但在遗传多样性水平上却不同。     

中华稻蝗三种群遗传结构分析

应用淀粉凝胶电泳对山西省太原黄陵村、临猗县赵村及永济县伍姓湖3个中华稻稻（Oxya chinensis）种群的4个等位酶位点（MDH-1、MDH-2、LDH、ME）进行了分析。结果表明3个种群的中华稻蝗在遗传结构上具有差异;黄陵种群的MDH-1、MDH-2以及伍姓湖种群的MDH-1均为单态位点;赵村种群的杂合性最低（H=0.112）,伍姓湖种群最高（H=0.229）;赵村种群与伍姓湖种群间的Nei‘s遗传距离为0.068,可视为1个大的种群,而黄陵种群与赵村种群和伍姓湖种群的Nei‘s遗传距离分别为0.247和0.218。考虑到赵村和伍姓湖之间的地理距离（41km）比太原黄陵（357km）要近得多,结果提示3个种群地理距离与遗传结构差异之间存在相关关系。

基于线粒体 Cyt b 基因的柴达木盆地子午沙鼠的遗传多样性与种群结构分析

对采集自柴达木盆地4个子午沙鼠种群的线粒体Cyt b部分序列进行测序,分析其遗传多样性和种群间系统进化关系。结果显示：冷湖-苏干湖种群的遗传多样性最高（Hd = 1.000;π = 0.00530）,花土沟种群的遗传多样性最低（Hd = 0.750;π = 0.00255）。分子变异分析结果显示61.68%的变异来自种群内,38.32%的变异来自种群间。其中, 冷湖-苏干湖种群与其他种群之间的遗传分化水平相对较低,格尔木种群与其他种群之间有较高水平的遗传分化。系统进化分析显示柴达木盆地子午沙鼠以冷湖-苏干湖为发源地沿盆地周边自西向东扩散,各种群之间存在广泛的基因交流。由于地理阻隔,格尔木种群与其他种群间基因交流较少。各地理种群间遗传距离与地理距离不相关。青藏高原大湖期是柴达木盆地各种群之间产生遗传分化的主要原因。

线粒体控制区在鱼类种内遗传分化中的意义

线粒体DNA（mtDNA）作为分子标记已被广泛应用于各物种系统发生的研究。mtDNA控制区序列（D-Loop）以其较高的突变积累对于研究物种种内的遗传分化具有重要价值。鱼类是脊椎动物中最原始但在种属数量上又最占优势的类群,其物种繁多,分布广泛,起源复杂,研究其系统发生历来是令人饶有兴趣的课题。D-Loop在研究鱼类种内遗传分化中具有多方面的重要意义。近年来,已有越来越多的研究工作将D-Loop作为分子标记来探讨各种鱼类的种内遗传分化,并且获得了许多有启发性的结果。青海湖是我国内陆最大的咸水湖,湖中主要鱼类为青海湖裸鲤（Gymnocypris przewalskii）,D-Loop分析初步结果显示青海湖及其周围河流中的裸鲤似乎没有新的种内遗传分化现象。      

Rapid differentiation of bacterial species by high resolution melting curve analysis

Molecular based differentiation of various bacterial species is important in phylogenetic studies, diagnostics and epidemiological surveillance, particularly where unusual phenotype makes the classical phenotypic identification of bacteria difficult. Molecular approach based on the sequence of 16S ribosomal RNA gene analysis can achieve fast and reliable identification of bacteria. High resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis has been developed as an attractive novel technique for DNA sequence discrimination but it’s application for bacteria differentiation has not been well studied yet. We have developed HRM assay for differentiation of sixteen pathogenic or opportunistic bacterial species. Amplified partial 16S ribosomal RNA gene region between 968 and 1401 positions (E. coli reference numbering) was subsequently used in high resolution melting curve analysis of PCR products for bacterial species differentiation. Sixteen bacterial species were simultaneously discerned by difference plot of normalized and temperatures shifted melting curves, without need for spiking of DNA, hetero-duplexing experiments or application of several primer pairs. High resolution melting curve analysis of duplex DNA is simple, fast and reliable tool for bacterial species differentiation and may efficiently complement phenotypic identification of bacteria.

Induction of osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells by histone deacetylase inhibitors

Valproic acid (VPA) has been used as an anticonvulsant agent for the treatment of epilepsy, as well as a mood stabilizer for the treatment of bipolar disorder, for several decades. The mechanism of action for these effects remains to be elucidated and is most likely multifactorial. Recently, VPA has been reported to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) and HDAC has been reported to play roles in differentiation of mammalian cells. In this study, the effects of HDAC inhibitors on differentiation and proliferation of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (hADSC) and bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC) were determined. VPA increased osteogenic differentiation in a dose dependent manner. The pretreatment of VPA before induction of differentiation also showed stimulatory effects on osteogenic differentiation of hMSC. Trichostatin A (TSA), another HDAC inhibitor, also increased osteogenic differentiation, whereas valpromide (VPM), a structural analog of VPA which does not possess HDAC inhibitory effects, did not show any effect on osteogenic differentiation on hADSC. RT-PCR and Real-time PCR analysis revealed that VPA treatment increased osterix, osteopontin, BMP-2, and Runx2 expression. The addition of noggin inhibited VPA-induced potentiation of osteogenic differentiation. VPA inhibited proliferation of hADSC and hBMSC. Our results suggest that VPA enhance osteogenic differentiation, probably due to inhibition of HDAC, and could be useful for in vivo bone engineering using hMSC.     

Lithium inhibits terminal differentiation of erythroleukemia cells : Evidence for a pre-commitment ‘priming’ event

Lithium has been found to be a novel inhibitor of the terminal differentiation of Friend murine erythroleukemia cells. A general method for the quantitative analysis of differentiation inhibitors has been developed and used to compare the site of inhibition by lithium with that by vanadate. Lithium inhibits the commitment to differentiation (K 1/2 approximately 10 mM) induced by DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) at non-toxic concentrations that have only a small effect on the rate of proliferation. Inhibition is reversible and probably requires entry of Li+ into the cell, since it is blocked by high KCl in the medium. LiCl is most effective when present during the first 10 h of DMSO treatment, before commitment is initiated. Computer-assisted analysis of the kinetics of commitment demonstrate that inhibition by lithium is best described by including a lithium-sensitive 'priming' event, which occurs with high probability prior to commitment.     

A Combination of Culture Conditions and Gene Expression Analysis Can Be Used to Investigate and Predict hES Cell Differentiation Potential towards Male Gonadal Cells

Human embryonic stem cell differentiation towards various cell types belonging to ecto-, endo- and mesodermal cell lineages has been demonstrated, with high efficiency rates using standardized differentiation protocols. However, germ cell differentiation from human embryonic stem cells has been very inefficient so far. Even though the influence of various growth factors has been evaluated, the gene expression of different cell lines in relation to their differentiation potential has not yet been extensively examined. In this study, the potential of three male human embryonic stem cell lines to differentiate towards male gonadal cells was explored by analysing their gene expression profiles. The human embryonic stem cell lines were cultured for 14 days as monolayers on supporting human foreskin fibroblasts or as spheres in suspension, and were differentiated using BMP7, or spontaneous differentiation by omitting exogenous FGF2. TLDA analysis revealed that in the undifferentiated state, these cell lines have diverse mRNA profiles and exhibit significantly different potentials for differentiation towards the cell types present in the male gonads. This potential was associated with important factors directing the fate of the male primordial germ cells in vivo to form gonocytes, such as SOX17 or genes involved in the NODAL/ACTIVIN pathway, for example. Stimulation with BMP7 in suspension culture resulted in up-regulation of cytoplasmic SOX9 protein expression in all three lines. The observation that human embryonic stem cells differentiate towards germ and somatic cells after spontaneous and BMP7-induced stimulation in suspension emphasizes the important role of somatic cells in germ cell differentiation in vitro.     

Comparative characterization of mesenchymal bone marrow stromal cells at early and late stages of culturing

The mesenchymal stromal cell is a multipotent precursor of osteoblasts, adipocytes, and some other cell types. In this study, a comparative analysis of cultured mesenchymal stromal cells from the rat bone marrow at the early and late stages of subculturing has been performed using molecular genetic and cytological methods. The culture has undergone 11 passages during 140 days. Upon long-term culturing, the mesenchymal stromal cells have proved to lose their potential for adipogenic differentiation but preserve the potential for osteogenesis. Morphological characters typical of osteogenic differentiation can be observed at the earlier stages of culturing (passages 1–4) but disappear at later stages (passages 9–11), despite mineralization of the extracellular matrix and the expression of osteogenic differentiation markers. A comparative analysis of the proliferation potential of stromal cells has shown that differences in the period of cell population doubling at the early and later stages of culturing are insignificant. An almost complete arrest of cell growth has been observed in the middle of the culture period (passages 5 and 6).

Identification of anti-adipogenic proteins in adult bovine serum suppressing 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation

Adipocyte differentiation is a complex developmental process forming adipocytes from various precursor cells. The murine 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell line has been most frequently used in the studies of adipocyte differentiation. Differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes includes a medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) with hormonal induction. In this study, we observed that differentiation medium containing adult bovine serum (ABS) instead of FBS did not support differentiation of preadipocytes. Impaired adipocyte differentiation was due to the presence of a serum protein factor in ABS that suppresses differentiation of preadipocytes. Using a proteomic analysis, alpha-2-macroglobulin and paraoxonase/arylesterase 1, which were previously shown to suppress differentiation of preadipocytes, were identified as anti-adipogenic proteins. Although their functional mechanisms have not yet been elucidated, the anti-adipogenic effects of these proteins are discussed. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(12): 582-587]
