Expression and signal regulation of the alternative oxidase genes under abiotic stresses

Plants in their natural environment frequently face various abiotic stresses, such as drought, high salinity, and chilling. Plant mitochondria contain an alternative oxidase （AOX）, which is encoded by a small family of nuclear genes. AOX genes have been shown to be highly responsive to abiotic stresses. Using transgenic plants with varying levels of AOX expression, it has been confirmed that AOX genes are im- portant for abiotic stress tolerance. Although the roles of AOX under abiotic stresses have been extensively studied and there are several excellent reviews on this topic, the differential expression patterns of the AOX gene family members and the signal regulation of AOX gene（s） under abiotic stresses have not been extensively summarized. Here, we review and discuss the current progress of these two important issues.

用引物延伸芯片法实现对转基因水稻中 生物芯片技术是生物技术和微制造技术的融合, 已广泛用于生命科学的研究及实践、医学科研及临床、药物设计、环境保护、农业、军事等各个领域。而基因芯片是生物芯片中的一种,是指将大量基因探针分子固定于支持物上,然后与标记的样品进行杂交,所以一次可对大量核酸分子进行检测分析,从而解决了传统核酸印迹杂交技术操作复杂、自动化程度低、检测目的分子数量少、效率低等不足。文章探讨了用基因芯片这一新的检测手段对转基因植物的初步检测,采用一种新的反应机制－引物延伸芯片法（arrayed primer extension）,实现了样品扩增和杂交的一步化,而在传统的基因芯片检测中要需要两步来完成,从而为目前基因芯片中大片段样品的检测提供了一种可能性。 Abstract: Biochip technology which had emerged from the fusion of biotechnology and micro/nanofabrication technology at the end of 1980s has been widely used in life science ,medicine,clinical diagnosis,durg design,agricμLture,envioment pretection and strategics. DNA microarray (also call gene chip,DNA chip),one kind of biochips,is small chip containing many oligonucleotide probe .It can hybridize with labelled sample which makes it possible to detect large numbers of oligonucleotides at one time.So DNA microarray can overcome the disadvantage of traditional hybridization technology such as complexity,low automatization,poor efficiency and amount of detcting molecμLes. This paper describes a new method to detect transgenic plant with gene chip.We have developed a novel arrayed-primer extension technique. It combines hybridization and PCR at one step, while two separate steps are needed in the ordinary DNA microarray, therefore our method provide a feasibility to detect long DNA fragment .     

Gene silencing in Xenopus laevis by DNA vector-based RNA interference and transgenesis

A vector-based RNAi expression system was developed using the Xenopus tropicalis U6 promoter, which transcribes small RNA genes by RNA polymerase Ⅲ. The system was first validated in a Xenopus laevis cell line, designing a short hairpin DNA specific for the GFP gene. Co-transfection of the vector-based RNAi and the GFP gene into Xenopus XR1 cells significantly decreased the number of GFP-expressing cells and overall GFP fluorescence. Vector-based RNAi was subsequently validated in GFP transgenic Xenopus embryos. Sperm nuclei from GFP transgenic males and RNAi construct-incubated-sperm nuclei were used for fertilization, respectively. GFP mRNA and protein were reduced by -60% by RNAi in these transgenic embryos compared with the control. This transgene-driven RNAi is specific and stable in inhibiting GFP expression in the Xenopus laevis transgenic line. Gene silencing by vector-based RNAi and Xenopus transgenesis may provide an alternative for ＇repression of gene function＇ studies in vertebrate model systems.

The detection of a transgenic soybean biochip using gold label silver stain technology

A method for the rapid detection of transgenic soybean crops based on a combination of gene chip and "gold label silver stain" (GLSS) technologies has been established. To ensure the specificity of this method, the CaMV35S promoter and Nos terminator were selected as probes because they are both exogenous genes that are specific to transgenic soybean plants. The addition of biotin-modified dUTPs to a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system can produce amplified nucleic acid segments containing biotin. These labeled PCR products then hybridize with specific probes on the chip and are subsequently bound by streptavidin-modified gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Due to the catalytic nature of the GNPs, silver staining can be used to visualize the hybridized probes, which appear as signals in varying shades of gray. The intensity value of the gray signals can be obtained using a general scanner. Silver staining for 10 min was determined to produce the optimal signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, this method was shown to be highly specific and had a detection sensitivity of 288.57 pg/μL.

纯化探针降低基因芯片杂交结果的背景

研究探针的纯化对基因芯片杂交结果的影响。将乙醇沉淀的探针和用DNA纯化试剂盒纯化的探针分别与基因芯片交,在同等条件下进行杂交后清洗和芯片扫描检测。结果表明,纯化的探针与基因芯片杂交结果的背景低,而未纯化的探针背景强,阳性信号界限比较模糊。运用基因芯片进行基因表达谱研究,要求杂交检测的结果必须低背景。探针的纯化是影响芯片杂交结果的一个重要因素。     

Comparative gene expression profiles in pancreatic islets associated with agouti yellow mutation and PACAP overexpression in mice

In diabetes mellitus, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) has insulinotropic and glucose-lowering properties. We previously demonstrated that transgenic mice overexpressing PACAP in pancreatic β-cells (PACAP-Tg) show attenuated pancreatic islet hyperplasia and hyperinsulinemia in type 2 diabetic models. To explore the underlying mechanisms, here we crossed PACAP-Tg mice with lethal yellow agouti (KKAy) diabetic mice, and performed gene chip analysis of laser capture microdissected pancreatic islets from four F₁ offspring genotypes (wild-type, PACAP-Tg, KKAy, and PACAP-Tg:KKAy). We identified 1371 probes with >16-fold differences between at least one pair of genotypes, and classified the probes into five clusters with characteristic expression patterns. Gene ontology enrichment analysis showed that genes involved in the terms ribosome and intracellular organelles such as ribonucleoprotein complex, mitochondrion, and chromosome organization were significantly enriched in clusters characterized by up-regulated genes in PACAP-Tg:KKAy mice compared with KKAy mice. These results may provide insight into the mechanisms of diabetes that accompany islet hyperplasia and amelioration by PACAP.
