远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系的建立及嵌合鼠的获得

ES细胞（Embryonic Stcm Cells)是来源小鼠早期胚胎的多潜能干细胞,它可以在体外大量培养,并以单细胞的形式注射到早期胚胎里,发育为嵌合体,到目前为止,通常使用的129小鼠品系是来源于近交系（inbrcd)小鼠的胚胎。与之相比,远交系小鼠应当具有较强的生命力和抗病能力。曾有人报道过建成了远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系,但是尚没有见到获得嵌合鼠的报道。有人甚至认为：由于不同品系小鼠所具有的遗传背景不同,有的小鼠不能建成ES细胞系。最近,本实验室在这方面做了有益的探索,成功地建成了远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系,并在这里报导首例用远交小鼠胚胎干细胞系培育成功嵌合体小鼠。采用源于Swiss小鼠远交群的昆明（KM）品系小鼠囊胚建成了三个小鼠胚胎干细胞系（KE1,KE2,KE5)。核型正常率均达到70％以上。自第八代起分批存。复苏后,培养至第12代,消化成单细胞,通过囊胚显微注射,将其注射到615品系小鼠胚胎。在幸存的幼鼠中获得了一只来源于KE1细胞的嵌合鼠（Table1)。其毛色表现为受体鼠（615）的白色中嵌合有供体鼠（KM)黑褐色（Platc I-A）。嵌合鼠与受体鼠的杂交后代鼠中仍然出现了受体鼠的毛色类型（PlateI-B)。证明：ES细胞能嵌合到生殖腺并形成具有正常功能的配子,从而产生种系嵌合鼠。

小鼠胚胎干细胞建系技术研究进展

目前,对小鼠胚胎干细胞的研究较为深入,并已成为研究细胞分化及信号转导、新基因发现及功能鉴定、器官发生、人类疾病和药物开发等的有效手段。胚胎干细胞建系是一项基础性工作。虽然技术日趋成熟,有些品系小鼠的胚胎干细胞建系已是常规技术,但不同品系小鼠胚胎干细胞的建系效率仍有很大差异,建系途径和方法各有特点,一个品系胚胎干细胞的建系方法不一定都适用于其他品系。本文从小鼠胚胎干细胞建系的途径、分离操作技术、培养体系等方面进行综述,并就与之相关的有些问题提出思考和对策。

小鼠胚胎干细胞与四倍体胚胎的嵌合

The oviducts of superovulated Kunming white females were flushed 44-46 hours after treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin to collect 1074 late two-cell-stage embryos.The embryos were placed twenty at a time between two platinum electrodes laid 1 mm apart in 0.3M mannitol in the electrode chamber.The blastomeres were fused by a short electric pulse(80V for 50μsec) applied by a pulse generator.Fusion of blastomeres was usually completed in 20-60minutes.After 25 hours of culture,most of the tetraploid embryos developed to the four-cell stage.Zonae pellucidae of 387 four-cell-stage tetraploid embryos were removed by treatment with acid Tyrode‘s buffer.The embryos were plated on an ES cell layer,After 40 hours of coculture,248 embryos aggregated with ES cells were collected and transferred into the uteri of twenty four 2.5-day pseudopregnant recipinets.Ten recipients were pregnant.but no live fetuses were born.Three pregnant recipients were routinely subject to a Caesarean section on day 18 of pregnancy and seven abnormal fetuses were obtained.The results demonstrate that ES cells derived from C57BL/6 mice are pluripotential to a certain extent.

Species-specific BALB/c mouse antibodies to rickettsiae studied by Western blotting

Abstract BALB/c mice were inoculated intraperitoneally either once only, or up to four times at weekly intervals, with viable Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia conorii or the Israeli spotted fever group rickettsia. Sera collected one week after the last inoculation were tested for the presence of antibodies reactive with the above organisms by indirect fluorescent antibody testing and Western blot. With repeated inoculations there was a general progressive rise in homologous and heterologous immunofluorescence titers although the increase after the first inoculation was always the greatest. For each rickettsia, the homologous titers were higher than the heterologous titers. Western blots showed that the reactive antibodies were against rickettsial high molecular mass species specific protein antigens and homologous species-specific antibody reactions were detectable earlier than heterologous cross-reacting antibody reactions. Antibodies in mice sera did not react with the group specific lipopolysaccharide-like antigens of the rickettsiae although such reactivity was strong in Western blots with sera from patients suffering from acute Rickettsia conorii infections. Our findings suggest that the intraperitoneal route of inoculation of BALB/c mice can be used for the differentiation of spotted fever group rickettsiae.     

Simultaneous occurrence of pregnancylike lobuloalveolar morphogenesis and casein-gene expression in a culture of the whole mammary gland

Summary Entire second thoracic mammary glands of estrogen- and progesterone-treated immature virgin BALB/c mice were stimulated to pregnancylike lobuloalveolar morphogenesis after 6 days of incubation with insulin (5 μg/ml), aldosterone (1 μg/ml), growth hormone (5 μg/ml), cortisol (5 μg/ml), and prolactin (80 ng/ml, present as a contaminant in 5 μg/ml growth hormone). The alveolar growth in the glands, as judged by morphological studies, was accompanied by an increase in cell number as a function of incubation time in the hormonal medium. Hybridization of the total RNA from these glands to the casein mRNA specific complementary DNA probe (cDNA_csn) revealed that the level of casein mRNA rises from 0.00012 to 0.005% between 1 and 6 days of incubation. Estimates showed that the concentration of casein mRNA per cell rises 17-fold from 70 molecules on Day 1 to 1200 molecules on Day 6, whereas the number of epithelial cells increases only twofold during the same incubation time. When the growth hormone preparation was totally replaced by 80 ng of prolactin during the 6-day incubation, casein-mRNA levels were found to be 0.0083%. These results demonstrate that a pregnancy-like morphogenesis and concurrent expression of the casein gene in vitro can be achieved in a controlled hormone environment containing high cortisol and low prolactin concentrations. This one-step mammogenesis-lactogenesis culture model should be useful for studying the mechanisms of hormonal regulation of casein-gene expression observed in prepartum mammary gland in vivo.

Impact of dengue virus (serotype DENV-2) infection on liver of BALB/c mice: A histopathological analysis

In this research, we characterized the histopathological impact of dengue virus (serotype DENV-2) infection in livers of BALB/c mice. The mice were infected with different doses of DENV-2 via intraperitoneal injection and liver tissues were processed for histological analyses and variation was documented. In the BALB/c mouse model, typical liver tissues showed regular hepatocyte architecture, with normal endothelial cells surrounding sinusoid capillary. Based on histopathological observations, the liver sections of BALB/c mice infected by DENV-2 exhibited a loss of cell integrity, with a widening of the sinusoidal spaces. There were marked increases in the infiltration of mononuclear cells. The areas of hemorrhage and micro- and macrovesicular steatosis were noted. Necrosis and apoptosis were abundantly present. The hallmark of viral infection, i.e., cytopathic effects, included intracellular edema and vacuole formation, cumulatively led to sinusoidal and lobular collapse in the liver. The histopathological studies on autopsy specimens of fatal human DENV cases are important to shed light on tissue damage for preventive and treatment modalities, in order to manage future DENV infections. In this framework, the method present here on BALB/c mouse model may be used to study not only the effects of infections by other DENV serotypes, but also to investigate the effects of novel drugs, such as recently developed nano-formulations, and the relative recovery ability with intact immune functions of host.
