登革热病毒基因组末端cDNA的克隆及序列分析

采用磁性分离技术从登革热病毒(D2-04株)感染的C6/36细胞中分离了D2-04病毒RNA.以该RNA为模板进行RT-PCR,分别扩增了D2-04 RNA 5′和3′端cDNA片段,该cDNA片段分别克隆到pGEM-3Z质粒多聚接头的HincⅡ位点得到含有5′端284 bp及3′端525 bp cDNA的重组质粒.通过荧光标记引物及双脱氧核苷酸PCR方法测定了上述cDNA插入片段的序列.同源性比较结果证明D2-04株与其他不同株间的同源性较高,可达93%～98%;不同型间的同源性较差, 仅80%左右; 属间的同源性更低.

基于多重置换扩增技术的RNA病毒基因组扩增方法研究

为了便于新发或罕见病毒性传染病的筛查检测,本研究利用多重置换扩增技术,以负链RNA病毒—发热伴血小板减少综合征病毒和正链RNA病毒—登革病毒为模拟样本探索临床样本中RNA病毒基因组非特异性扩增方法。研究中通过梯度稀释的RNA病毒模拟样本中可能存在的不同丰度的病原体,样本核酸依次加工成单链cDNA、双链cDNA、T4DNA连接酶处理后的双链cDNA以及添加外源辅助RNA后合成并连接的双链cDNA形式,然后进行Phi29DNA聚合酶等温扩增,使用荧光定量PCR方法比较各种方法对RNA病毒核酸扩增的影响。结果显示,对于不同类型的RNA病毒模拟标本,多重置换扩增对于单链及双链cDNA的扩增效果有限,而双链cDNA经DNA连接酶处理后的扩增能达到6×103倍;在cDNA合成过程中加入外源辅助RNA,模拟样本中病毒基因组的扩增可达2×105倍,尤其是对含有低丰度病原体的模拟样本扩增效果的改善更为明显。本研究摸索建立了基于多重置换扩增技术的RNA病毒基因组扩增方法,能够对样本中低丰度RNA病毒基因组实现有效扩增,可满足开展多种病原体筛查检测的需求。     

Optimization of liver biopsy RNA sampling and use of reference RNA for cDNA microarray analysis

In this study, we used the rat liver as a model system to optimize the conditions for extracting RNA from liver biopsies for use in cDNA microarrays. We found that a 5-mm biopsy with a 16-gauge needle and storage in RNA later at 4 degrees C were optimal conditions for RNA extraction. The most important factor for the quantity and quality of RNA extraction was the sample diameter. Using the optimized sampling conditions and a cDNA microarray, we compared the expression of genes in the normal and the fibrotic tissues of the LEC rat liver, a model of liver tumorigenesis, with SD rat liver RNA as a reference. We found 29 genes that were up-regulated and 33 genes that were down-regulated in the fibrotic part of the liver. Furthermore, with the help of the reference RNA, we were able to classify the expression profiles into five groups without complex mathematical analyses; without the reference RNA, the genes could be classified into only two groups. Finally, we found that osteopontin was expressed at a very high level in the fibrotic portion of the LEC rat liver. This cDNA microarray result was validated by immunohistochemistry, which showed an elevated expression of osteopontin in the region of cholangiocarcinoma and a lack of expression in normal tissues. With optimized conditions, we should be able to apply the microarray system for routine practice.     

An ethidium bromide-agarose plate assay for the nonradioactive detection of cDNA synthesis

Ethidium bromide was used to determine the success of cDNA synthesis reactions. Since ethidium bromide in agarose can be used to quantitate RNA and DNA, conditions under which the greater fluorescence of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is utilized were devised to assay dsDNA synthesis from mRNA. Ethidium bromide at 5 micrograms/ml in agarose allowed quantitative detection of cDNA in the range of 0.03 to 0.0015 microgram. Sodium dodecyl sulfate had an adverse effect on the measurement of cDNA. Subsequent cDNA analysis by alkaline gel electrophoresis and staining in 5 micrograms/ml ethidium bromide allowed accurate and rapid sizing of cDNA and required only 0.1-0.05 microgram cDNA.     

Molecular cloning of DNA complementary to Drosophila melanogaster alpha-amylase mRNA

Several lambda clones containing cDNAs from Drosophila melanogaster were identified in a lambda cDNA bank using two different approaches: (i) cross-species hybridization using a mouse amylase cDNA probe, and (ii) probing with a differential probe, generated from Drosophila RNA. An amylase cDNA fragment was used, in turn, for the isolation and characterization of amylase genomic clones. The size of the Drosophila amylase mRNA was estimated at 1650 b. This is comparable with the size of the murine amylase messenger that encodes a protein of similar molecular weight. In Drosophila larvae, amylase mRNA can account for as little as 0.01% of the poly(A)+ RNA under conditions of dietary glucose repression or greater than 1% of poly(A)+ RNA under derepressing dietary conditions.
