猫科动物DNA条形码及线粒体假基因对物种鉴定的影响

在多种动物类群中,基于线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基Ⅰ(COⅠ)基因的DNA条形码是一种高效的物种鉴别手段,然而猫科Felidae动物中广泛存在的线粒体假基因可能影响DNA条形码的有效性。本研究共涉及猫科动物12属25种119个样本。采用3对条形码通用引物对6属11种29个猫科动物样本进行了扩增及测序。结果3个样本扩增失败,8个样本得到假基因,18个样本获得了条形码序列。结合另外93条猫科动物条形码序列(源自BOLD Systems),采用Kimura 2-parameter模型计算遗传距离,构建Neighbor-Joining(NJ)树。结果显示,遗传距离种内为0%~8.1%,平均0.8%;种间为1.4%~13.1%,平均8.7%;属间为8.2%~21.8%,平均15.1%。NJ树显示,除3个种外,其余物种均以极高的置信度(99%)形成单系分支。而假基因序列有些可以单独形成分支,有些夹杂在COⅠ序列形成的分支中,对物种鉴定产生干扰。     

昆明城郊中国树鼩群体线粒体DNA遗传多样性

由于树鼩是灵长类动物的近亲,且具有体型小、繁殖周期短、饲养管理成本低等优点,长期以来被认为有望替代灵长类动物用于人类疾病的动物模型研究.然而,目前对树鼩的群体遗传结构还知之甚少,这极大地限制了其在疾病动物模型研究的应用,也是其品系资源创制的瓶颈.本研究通过分析80只采自于云南省昆明周边地区的野生树鼩(Tupaia belangeri chinensis)线粒体DNA(mtDNA)多态性,结合国外报道的2个树鼩(Tupaia belangeri)序列比较后发现,在604 bp的mtDNA控制区片段中兵检测到29个核苷酸替代变异,这些变异共界定了13种单倍型,表现较高的群体遗传多样度.另外,昆明地区的树鼩与国外报道的2个树鼩间存在较大的遗传分化,mtDNA控制区单倍型之间的核苷酸替换数大于18个,远高于昆明地区树鼢群体内部不同单倍型之间的差异.选择含有代表性的mtDNA控制区单倍型的17个昆明地区树鼩个体进一步测定了细胞色素b基因片段(1134 bp),结合前人报道的数据分析,结果进一步支持mtDNA控制区数据反映的遗传格局及揭示的昆明地区树询与国外报道树鼩之间的明显差异.本研究结果提示,昆明地区树鼩与国外树鼩之间存在较大遗传差异,在将树鼩用于人类疾病动物模型研究中要注意这些遗传差别.昆明城郊的树鼩群体具有较高的遗传多样度,在开展近交系建立等工作时须考虑选取群体内部具有代表性的mtDNA世系.

Abstract：

Due to their special phylogenetic position in the Euarchontoglires and close affinity to primates, tree shrews have been proposed as an alternative experimental animal to primates in biomedical research. However, the population genetic structure of tree shrews has largely remained unknown and this has hindered the development of tree shrew breeding and selection. Here we sampled 80 Chinese tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) in Kunming, China, and analyzed partial mtDNA control region sequence variation. Based on our samples and two published sequences from northern tree shrews (T. belangeri), we identified 29 substitutions in the mtDNA control region fragment (～ 604 bp)across 82 individuals and defined 13 hapiotypes. Seventeen samples were selected for sequencing of the cytochrome b (Cyt b; 1134 bp) gene based on control region sequence variation and were analyzed in combination with 34 published sequences to solidify the phylogenetic pattern obtained from control region data. Overall, tree shrews from Kunming have high genetic diversity and present a remarkable long genetic distance to the two reported northern tree shrews outside China. Our results provide some caution when using tree shrews to establish animal models because of this apparent genetic difference. In addition, the high genetic diversity of Chinese tree shrews inhabiting Kunming suggests that systematic genetic investigations should be conducted before establishing an inbred strain for medical and biological research.

中缅树鼩精子形态特征及冷冻损伤

树鼩作为一种新型的、接近灵长类的实验动物,在医学生物学上的应用受到越来越多的重视。精子的结构特性研究及冷冻后结构的完整性分析是精子生物学的主要内容,也有助于树鼩的实验室快速繁殖。该研究采用人工饲养的中缅树鼩(Tupaia belangeri chinensis),结果显示其睾丸占总体重的(1.05±0.07)%,总体积为(1.12±0.10)mL。附睾尾及输精管精子总量估计在2.2×107～8.8×107,其运动度和顶体完整率分别为(68.8±3.9)%和(90.0±2.1)%。利用扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜对树鼩附睾精子的超微结构进行的观察和分析显示精子头部呈圆形或卵圆形;头部长度、宽度平均分别为6.65和5.82μm;精子尾部中段、主段、尾段和精子总长度平均分别为13.39、52.35、65.74和73.05μm;尾部中段的线粒体螺旋数量为48个,其轴丝结构为典型的"9+9+2"结构。冷冻解冻后的精子主要表现在顶体与质膜不完整、精子断裂、尾部扭曲和膨大。上述结果提示树鼩精子与其他哺乳动物精子的结构特征相似,但是精子大小和线粒体螺旋数目有明显的差别,且超微结构改变仍是冷冻精子运动和受精能力下降的主要原因。     

Creating animal models,why not use the Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis)?

The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis),a squirrel-like and rat-sized mammal,has a wide distribution in Southeast Asia,South and Southwest China and has many unique characteristics that make it suitable for use as an experimental animal.There have been many studies using the tree shrew (Tupaia belangen) aimed at increasing our understanding of fundamental biological mechanisms and for the modeling of human diseases and therapeutic responses.The recent release of a publicly available annotated genome sequence of the Chinese tree shrew and its genome database (www.treeshrewdb.org) has offered a solid base from which it is possible to elucidate the basic biological properties and create animal models using this species.The extensive characterization of key factors and signaling pathways in the immune and nervous systems has shown that tree shrews possess both conserved and unique features relative to primates.Hitherto,the tree shrew has been successfully used to create animal models for myopia,depression,breast cancer,alcohol-induced or non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases,herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections,to name a few.The recent successful genetic manipulation of the tree shrew has opened a new avenue for the wider usage of this animal in biomedical research.In this opinion paper,I attempt to summarize the recent research advances that have used the Chinese tree shrew,with a focus on the new knowledge obtained by using the biological properties identified using the tree shrew genome,a proposal for the genome-based approach for creating animal models,and the genetic manipulation of the tree shrew.With more studies using this species and the application of cutting-edge gene editing techniques,the tree shrew will continue to be under the spot light as a viable animal model for investigating the basis of many different human diseases.

Pre-s1 antigen-dependent infection of Tupaia hepatocyte cultures with human hepatitis B virus

The susceptibility of the tree shrew Tupaia belangeri to human hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we show that purified HBV infects primary T. belangeri hepatocyte cultures in a very specific manner, as detected by HBV covalently closed circular DNA, mRNA, HBV e antigen, and HBsAg production. A monoclonal antibody (MAb), MA18/7, directed against the pre-S1 domain of the large HBs protein, which has been shown to neutralize infectivity of HBV for primary human hepatocytes, also blocked infection of primary Tupaia hepatocytes. MAbs against the pre-S2 domain of HBs inhibited infection only partially, whereas an S MAb and polyvalent anti-HBs antibodies neutralized infection completely. Thus, both pre-S1 and S antigens are necessary for infection in the tupaia. Using subviral particles, >70% of primary Tupaia hepatocytes are capable of specific binding of pre-S1-rich HBsAg, showing localization in distinct membrane areas. The data show that the early steps of HBV infection in Tupaia hepatocyte cultures are comparable to those in the human system.     

树鼩资源的开发利用与标准化研究——我国实验动物资源建设发展战略探讨

树鼩（Tupaia belangeri）作为人类疾病动物模型,被应用于人类医学实验研究的多个领域,如各种类型的病毒性肝炎模型,流感病毒、登革热病毒、轮状病毒、疱疹病毒模型,糖尿病、胆结石、癌症病模型。但是,目前我国用于实验研究的树鼩几乎全都来自野外,对它们的微生物学、寄生虫学、遗传学、环境学等质量标准没有进行控制,它们本身携带的许多病原体会对实验结果的准确性造成影响,这既不符合国家对实验动物许可证管理的要求,也不利于我国实验动物科技工作与国际接轨的发展要求。因此,应该同步开展树鼩资源的开发利用和标准研究,使之纳入实验动物许可证的有效监控和管理,改变目前使用在前、质量控制标准研究在后的被动局面。     

Evaluating the Phylogenetic Position of Chinese Tree Shrew （Tupaia belangeri chinensis） Based on Complete Mitochondrial Genome： Implication for Using Tree Shrew as an Alternative Experimental Animal to Primates in Biomedical Research

Tree shrew(Tupaia belangeri) is currently placed in Order Scandentia and has a wide distribution in Southeast Asia and Southwest China.Due to its unique characteristics,such as small body size,high brain-to-body mass ratio,short reproductive cycle and life span,and low-cost of maintenance,tree shrew has been proposed to be an alternative experimental animal to primates in biomedical research.However,there are some debates regarding the exact phylogenetic affinity of tree shrew to primates.In this study,we determined the mtDNA entire genomes of three Chinese tree shrews(T.belangeri chinensis) and one Malayan flying lemur(Galeopterus variegatus).Combined with the published data for species in Euarchonta,we intended to discern the phylogenetic relationship among representative species of Dermoptera,Scandentia and Primates.The mtDNA genomes of Chinese tree shrews and Malayan flying lemur shared similar gene organization and structure with those of other mammals.Phylogenetic analysis based on 12 concatenated mitochondrial proteinencoding genes revealed a closer relationship between species of Scandentia and Glires,whereas species of Dermoptera were clustered with Primates.This pattern was consistent with previously reported phylogeny based on mtDNA data,but differed from the one reconstructed on the basis of nuclear genes.Our result suggested that the matrilineal affinity of tree shrew to primates may not be as close as we had thought.The ongoing project for sequencing the entire genome of Chinese tree shrew will provide more information to clarify this important issue.     

Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene in tree shrew hepatocellular carcinoma associated with hepatitis B virus infection and intake of aflatoxin B1

Infection with hepadnaviruses and exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) are considered to be major risk factors in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in humans. A high rate of p53 mutations at codon 249 has been reported in these tumors. The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) is a useful animal model for the development of HCC after human hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or AFB1 treatment. Therefore, it was of particular interest to determine whether the p53 gene in tree shrew HCCs associated with HBV infection and/or with exposure to AFB1 is affected in the same manner as in human HCCs. We determined the tree shrew p53 wild-type nucleotide sequences by RT-PCR and automatic DNA-sequencing. Tree shrew wild-type p53 sequence showed 91.7 and 93.4% homologies with human p53 nucleotide and amino acids sequences, respectively, while it showed 77.2 and 73.7% homologies in mice. One HCC and normal liver tissue from AFB1 treated and one HCC from AFB1- and HBV-treated tree shrew showed no change in p53 sequences, while three HCCs from AFB1- and HBV-treated tree shrews showed point mutations in p53 sequences. One HCC showed point mutations at codon 275, which is on the DNA-binding domain of p53 gene, which might be a cause of gain-of-function during the development of HCC. As a result, our finding indicates that tree shrews exposed to AFB1 and/or HBV had neither codon 249 mutations nor significant levels of other mutations in the p53 gene, as is the case with humans.
