测定139头杂交猪(大白猪和梅山猪)的14个肉质性状和8个胴体性状,用PCR-RFLP方法检测FUT1基因型。分析猪FUT1基因型间肉质和胴体性状差异,发现AA基因型猪3个部位肌肉pH值均比AG基因型的高,其中pH(LD)达到显著水平(P<0.05)。AA基因型猪肌肉系水力显著高于AG猪的系水力(91.02% VS 86.70%,P<0.05)。AA基因型猪的肉色值显著高于AG猪的(P<0.05)。AA基因型猪三个部位肌肉膘厚值均较低,其中最后肋骨膘厚和倒数三四肋骨膘厚分别比AG基因型猪的低4.26 mm和3.96 mm(P<0.05)。AA基因型猪瘦肉率比AG基因型猪的高3.31% (53.46% VS 50.15%,P<0.05)。以上结果表明FUT1基因的AA基因型对肉质和和胴体性状具有显著的正遗传效应,这对于在抗病育种中应用该基因十分有利。

Strain differences in the induction of soluble and microsomal enzymes by phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene

The ability of phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC) to induce liver microsomal and soluble enzymes was compared in Sprague-Dawley and Long-Evans rats. 3MC increased the V for the aniline hydroxylase and stimulated the formation of the hemoprotein P₄₄₈ to a similar extent in the 2 strains of rats. On the other hand phenobarbital increased the V for the microsomal enzyme aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase and enhanced the activity of the soluble enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase only in Sprague-Dawley rats. It induced a more marked increase of cytochrome P₄₅₀ in the Sprague-Dawley than in the Long-Evans strain.     

鼠源成纤维细胞生长因子-21对脂肪细胞糖代谢的作用

Ecdysone oxidase and 3-oxoecdysteroid reductases in Manduca sexta: Developmental changes and tissue distribution

The activities of ecdysone oxidase (EO), 3-oxoecdysteroid 3α-reductase (3α-R), and 3-oxoecdysteroid 3β-reductase (3β-R) were determined for epidermis, hemolymph, and fat body of wandering fifth instar Manduca sexta larvae and for midguts of various developmental stages between 3 days after the last larval and 14 days after the pupal ecdysis. The larval midgut was the only organ showing substantial specific activities of EO and 3α-R, and both increased up to the seventh day after ecdysis. Hemolymph and fat body had only moderate to high 3β-R and low EO activites, and the epidermis did not contain significant activity of any of the enzymes. On the ninth day after the last larval ecdysis the larval midgut epithelium was replaced by a new pupal midgut epithelium. After this event only 3β-R was restored to high activities, whereas EO and 3α-R showed only low to marginal activities. It is concluded that only the larval midgut has a role in the inactivation of ecdysteroids by 3-epimerization. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Differential expression and accumulation of 14-3-3 paralogs in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and differentiated cells

The 14-3-3 protein family interacts with more than 2000 different proteins in mammals, as a result of its specific phospho-serine/phospho-threonine binding activity. Seven paralogs are strictly conserved in mammalian species. Here, we show that during adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, the level of each 14-3-3 protein paralog is regulated independently. For instance 14-3-3β, γ, and η protein levels are increased compared to untreated cells. In contrast, 14-3-3ε protein levels decreased after differentiation while others remained constant. In silico analysis of the promoter region of each gene showed differences that explain the results obtained at mRNA and protein levels.     

Quantitative studies of amino acid and growth factor requirements of transformed and nontransformed cells in high concentrations of serum of lymph

Summary The growth rate of spontaneously transformed BALB/3T3 cells is proportional to glutamine concentration between 50 and 400 μM, with little or no growth occurring in less than 50 μM glutamine. By contrast, nontransformed BALB/3T3 cells multiply, although slowly, with as little as 20 μM glutamine. Neither cell type depletes the medium of glutamine at the low concentrations. Cystine requirements of both cell types increase with serum concentration, probably due to the binding of half-cystine residues by the serum. Calf serum is a much more potent stimulator of cell multiplication than calf lymph, especially for the nontransformed cells. The rate of cell multiplication can be reduced by lowering the concentration of essential amino acids to the physiologic level found in body fluids, but the growth limitations can be fully compensated by simply raising the serum concentration. Growth factors may act by enhancing the utilization of amino acids, particularly of glutamine which is a required substrate for the first and chief regulatory steps of purine and pyrimidine synthesis. Lymph, which is coextensive with interstitial fluid in vivo, is poor in growth factors for the nontransformed BLAB/3T3 cells as well as for recently explanted mouse embryo cells, which raises questions of how normal cell growth is maintained in the body.

Binding of isolated 3T3 surface membranes to growing 3T3 cells and their effect on cell growth

We have quantitated by autoradiography the binding of [¹²⁵I]labeled 3T3 plasma membrane fragments to 3T3 cells growing on the surface of plastic dishes; ie, the same conditions in which these membranes specifically arrest the growth of 3T3 cells early in the G₁ phase of the cell cycle. We have been able to demonstrate that binding of membranes to cells is coincidental with the expression of the growth inhibitory activity of protein(s) present in the membrane fragments. Treatments that reduce binding (heat denaturation of the membranes or culture in the presence of high scrum) also reduce growth inhibitory activity. [¹²⁵I]labeled membranes bound to cells are located primarily on the cell surface (as determined by electron microscope autoradiography) and are exchangeable with unlabeled membranes. We conclude that binding of membranes to cells is necessary but may not be sufficient for the expression of the growth inhibitory activity of these membranes. This approach provides information not only on the average level of binding of membranes to cells, but also provides a quantitative assessment of the variation of the level of membrane to cell binding between different cells in the population.
