MTHF对C57BL/6鼠Lewis肺癌细胞生长的影响

通过观察MTHF纯体对C57BL/6鼠移植瘤细胞生长的影响,初步探讨MTHF抗肿瘤作用的机理。将42只接种Lewis肺癌LL2细胞的C57BL/6鼠随机分成对照组、MTHF组和顺铂组。分别处理后观察各组肿瘤生长情况,于接种22 d后处死荷瘤鼠,收集肿瘤标本后测量瘤体质量,并进行电镜以及组织学分析,通过免疫组化检测肿瘤组织PCNA、Bcl-2及Bax的表达。结果表明MTHF组、顺铂组抑瘤率分别为46.2%、54.5%。电镜显示MTHF组出现细胞凋亡。MTHF处理Lewis肺癌细胞后,PCNA和Bcl-2基因下调,Bax基因上调。MTHF可显著抑制C57BL/6鼠移植瘤肺癌细胞的生长,其机制可能与诱导Lewis肺癌细胞凋亡并抑制其增殖有关,是一种有前景的抗肿瘤药物。

Intra-strain polymorphisms are detected but no genomic alteration is found in cloned mice

In-gel competitive reassociation (IGCR) is a method for differential subtraction of polymorphic (RFLP) DNA fragments between two DNA samples of interest without probes or specific sequence information. Here, we applied the IGCR procedure to two cloned mice derived from an F1 hybrid of the C57BL/6Cr and DBA/2 strains, in order to investigate the possibility of genomic alteration in the cloned mouse genomes. Each of the five of the genomic alterations we detected between the two cloned mice corresponded to the "intra-strain" polymorphisms in the C57BL/6Cr and DBA/2 mouse strains. Our result suggests that no severe aberration of genome sequences occurs due to somatic cell nuclear transfer.     

Dual roles of sialyl Lewis X oligosaccharides in tumor metastasis and rejection by natural killer cells

Aberrant expression of cell surface carbohydrates such as sialyl Lewis X is associated with tumor formation and metastasis. In order to determine the roles of sialyl Lewis X in tumor metastasis, mouse melanoma B16-F1 cells were stably transfected with alpha1, 3-fucosyltransferase III to express sialyl Lewis X structures. The transfected B16-F1 cells, B16-FTIII, were separated by cell sorting into three different groups based on the expression levels of sialyl Lewis X. When these transfected cells were injected into tail veins of C57BL/6 mice, B16-FTIII.M cells expressing moderate amounts of sialyl Lewis X in poly-N-acetyllactosamines produced large numbers of lung tumor nodules. Surprisingly, B16-FTIII.H cells expressing the highest amount of sialyl Lewis X in shorter N-glycans died in lung blood vessels, producing as few lung nodules as B16-FTIII.N cells which lack sialyl Lewis X. In contrast, B16-FIII.H cells formed more tumors in beige mice and NK cell-depleted C57BL/6 mice than did B16-FTIII.M cells. B16-FTIII.H cells bound to E-selectin better than did B16-FTIII.M cells, but both cells grew at the same rate. These results indicate that excessive expression of sialyl Lewis X in tumor cells leads to rejection by NK cells rather than tumor formation facilitated by attachment to endothelial cells.     

品系对小鼠胚胎干细胞分离效率的影响

为了充分利用小鼠胚胎干(ES)细胞,就必须从众多小鼠品系中分离ES细胞系。本研究通过传统的成纤维细胞饲养层法,从CD-1、129/Sv、C57BL/6J和129/Sv×C57BL/6J四种不同遗传背景的小鼠中分离得到12个ES细胞系,而从KM小鼠没有得到ES细胞系。所有的ES细胞系都具有典型的ES细胞特征,AKP染色呈阳性。从四种不同遗传背景的ES细胞系得到了包含多种组织的畸胎瘤;与桑椹胚聚合后,都得到了生殖系嵌合体。结果表明:品系对小鼠ES细胞的分离有显著影响,利用129小鼠以及包含129小鼠遗传背景的杂交小鼠都较容易分离ES细胞,由ES细胞得到生殖系嵌合体的效率在不同品系间有显著差异,从杂交ES细胞比近交ES细胞中更容易得到生殖系嵌合体。     

Gene expression profiles in genetically different mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii: ALDH1A2, BEX2, EGR2, CCL3 and PLAU

Toxoplasma gondii can modulate host cell gene expression; however, determining gene expression levels in intermediate hosts after T. gondii infection is not known much. We selected 5 genes (ALDH1A2, BEX2, CCL3, EGR2 and PLAU) and compared the mRNA expression levels in the spleen, liver, lung and small intestine of genetically different mice infected with T. gondii. ALDH1A2 mRNA expressions of both mouse strains were markedly increased at day 1-4 postinfection (PI) and then decreased, and its expressions in the spleen and lung were significantly higher in C57BL/6 mice than those of BALB/c mice. BEX2 and CCR3 mRNA expressions of both mouse strains were significantly increased from day 7 PI and peaked at day 15-30 PI (P<0.05), especially high in the spleen liver or small intestine of C57BL/6 mice. EGR2 and PLAU mRNA expressions of both mouse strains were significantly increased after infection, especially high in the spleen and liver. However, their expression patterns were varied depending on the tissue and mouse strain. Taken together, T. gondii-susceptible C57BL/6 mice expressed higher levels of these 5 genes than did T. gondii-resistant BALB/c mice, particularly in the spleen and liver. And ALDH1A2 and PLAU expressions were increased acutely, whereas BEX2, CCL3 and EGR2 expressions were increased lately. Thus, these demonstrate that host genetic factors exert a strong impact on the expression of these 5 genes and their expression patterns were varied depending on the gene or tissue.     

用rAAV8-1.3HBV制备两种品系小鼠乙型肝炎病毒感染模型的比较研究

我们先前用rAAV8-1.3HBV静脉注射C57BL/6小鼠成功地制备了慢性乙型肝炎病毒(Hepatitis B virus,HBV)感染模型。为了探讨不同品系的小鼠对rAAV8-1.3HBV静脉注射是否具有不同反应,本研究比较了C57BL/6和BALB/c小鼠静脉注射重组病毒后外周血中HBV抗原和抗体水平、病毒载量和肝脏组织HBcAg表达情况,以及不同剂量重组病毒注射与这些指标的关系。将低(4×109 Viral genome,vg)、中(4×1010vg)和高(4×1011vg)三种剂量的rAAV8-1.3HBV通过尾静脉注射至C57BL/6和BALB/c小鼠,分别利用ELISA和荧光定量PCR方法检测血清中的HBV抗原、抗体水平以及HBV DNA,利用免疫组化检测肝脏组织HBcAg的表达。结果发现,对于C57BL/6小鼠,三种不同剂量rAAV8-1.3HBV注射均可造成100%小鼠出现HBV持续感染;血清HBsAg、HBeAg和HBV DNA以及肝组织HBcAg稳定表达超过8个月,其表达水平随重组病毒注射剂量的增加而升高,高剂量注射时可造成超过40%的肝细胞感染HBV,血清中HBV DNA可达105 IU/mL以上;未检测到针对HBV的抗体。对于BALB/c小鼠,三种不同剂量rAAV8-1.3HBV注射也可造成100%小鼠出现HBV持续感染;血清HBeAg和HBV DNA以及肝组织HBcAg稳定表达超过8个月,但是血清HBsAg在重组病毒注射2周之后显著下降甚至消失;在中剂量注射组的BALB/c小鼠血清中检测到低水平的Anti-HBs;血清HBeAg和肝组织HBcAg的表达水平随重组病毒注射剂量的增加而增高,并且各剂量组表达水平均高于C57BL/6小鼠,高剂量注射时可造成超过50%的肝细胞感染HBV。本研究表明,低至4×109 vg剂量的rAAV8-1.3HBV注射即可造成C57BL/6和BALB/c两种品系小鼠出现HBV持续感染,并且HBV复制水平随重组病毒注射剂量增加而增高;BALB/c小鼠对HBV的免疫反应强于C57BL/6小鼠,可以产生针对HBsAg的体液免疫反应而使血清HBsAg转阴,但无法清除携带HBV的肝细胞。     

Metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene: Effect of 3-methylcholanthrene pretreatment on metabolism by microsomes from lungs of genetically “responsive” and ”nonresponsive” mice

The metabolism of [¹⁴C]benzo[a]pyrene by microsomes from the lungs of normal and 3-methylcholanthrene-treated DBA/2J, C57BL/6J, and A/HeJ mouse strains was quantitatively analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The ratio of dihydrodiols of benzo[a]pyrene to total metabolites formed was greater with lung microsomes than with liver microsomes in all three strains. The ratio of epoxide hydrase to monooxygenase activity in mouse lung was shown to be considerably higher than in mouse liver. Benzo[a]pyrene metabolism by control lung microsomes showed some strain differences. C57BL/6J and A/HeJ mice formed twice as much dihydrodiols as a percentage of total metabolism compared to DBA/2J mice. DBA/2J mice produced somewhat less phenol 2 fraction and considerably more quinone 1 and 2 fractions than the other two mouse strains as a percentage of total metabolism. Treatment of C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice with 3-methylcholanthrene resulted in a 20-fold increase in the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene, while A/HeJ mice were induced more than 50-fold. The profiles of metabolites from the 3-methylcholanthrene-induced animals were nearly identical in all three mouse strains.     

A comparative phenotypic and genomic analysis of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N mouse strains

Background

The mouse inbred line C57BL/6J is widely used in mouse genetics and its genome has been incorporated into many genetic reference populations. More recently large initiatives such as the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) are using the C57BL/6N mouse strain to generate null alleles for all mouse genes. Hence both strains are now widely used in mouse genetics studies. Here we perform a comprehensive genomic and phenotypic analysis of the two strains to identify differences that may influence their underlying genetic mechanisms.

Results

We undertake genome sequence comparisons of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N to identify SNPs, indels and structural variants, with a focus on identifying all coding variants. We annotate 34 SNPs and 2 indels that distinguish C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N coding sequences, as well as 15 structural variants that overlap a gene. In parallel we assess the comparative phenotypes of the two inbred lines utilizing the EMPReSSslim phenotyping pipeline, a broad based assessment encompassing diverse biological systems. We perform additional secondary phenotyping assessments to explore other phenotype domains and to elaborate phenotype differences identified in the primary assessment. We uncover significant phenotypic differences between the two lines, replicated across multiple centers, in a number of physiological, biochemical and behavioral systems.

Conclusions

Comparison of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N demonstrates a range of phenotypic differences that have the potential to impact upon penetrance and expressivity of mutational effects in these strains. Moreover, the sequence variants we identify provide a set of candidate genes for the phenotypic differences observed between the two strains.
