模式生物斑马鱼在微量元素代谢研究中的应用

微量元素如铁、锌、铜等对维持生物体代谢和健康至关重要,其含量失衡会造成代谢异常甚至死亡,因此生物体存在复杂机制维持这些微量元素的稳态代谢平衡（homeostasis）。近年来国际上一些实验室尝试用模式脊椎生物斑马鱼来开展该领域的研究,展示出斑马鱼的特有优势。特别是大规模正向遗传学筛选的成功开展,一系列微量元素代谢异常的突变体（如：weissherbst、chardonnay、chianti、shiraz、gavi、calamity和catastrophe）相继发现,为研究离子代谢调控机制和相关疾病的发病机理,提供了整体动态的活体模型。铁代谢相关基因加,2J和grx5都己在斑马鱼中成功定位克隆,斑马鱼铜载体基因atp7a突变体calamity的深入研究,进一步阐明了Menkes病的发病机理。利用斑马鱼的优势,结合小鼠模型和人群来研究微量元素的体内稳态代谢平衡将是微量元素代谢机制研究的新方向。

旋毛虫感染小鼠肠道菌群变化的研究

目的通过观察黑龙江株旋毛虫感染小鼠肠道分泌物中分泌型免疫球蛋白A、肠道菌群的变化,探讨感染小鼠肠道菌群的变化。方法分别于小鼠感染黑龙江株旋毛虫后7、14、21、28和35d,观察模型组及对照组小鼠肠道分泌物中的分泌型免疫球蛋白A、肠道双歧杆菌、乳酸杆菌、肠杆菌、肠球菌的菌群变化。sIgA采用放射免疫法检测。结果模型组sIgA分泌水平在感染后14d达高峰,随后缓慢下降但始终保持高水平（P〈0．01）。模型组肠道双歧杆菌的数量在感染后7d略低于对照组（P〈0．05）,第14天降至最低水平,随后逐渐升高,至感染后35d恢复正常水平。乳酸杆菌的数量在感染后7d略低于对照组,第14天降至最低水平,随后逐渐增加（P〈0．05）。肠杆菌的数量在感染后7d略高于对照组,感染后14d明显高于对照组,随后始终保持下降趋势（P〈0．05）。肠球菌在感染后7d略高于对照组（P〈0．05）,在14d明显高于对照组,随后缓慢下降,至感染后35d恢复正常水平。结论旋毛虫感染小鼠sIga的分泌在肠道免疫中发挥重要作用,同时也影响肠道菌群;肠道菌群的变化可能与旋毛虫感染小鼠免疫系统中sIgA的分泌有关。

Temporal Changes in the Inequality of Early Growth of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.: A Novel Application of the Gini Coefficient and Lorenz Asymmetry

Growth within tree populations varies among individuals due to changes in biotic and abiotic factors. The degree of such variation, defined as growth inequality, serves as a useful indicator of the uniformity of growth within a population in response to the prevalent environmental conditions. By application of the Gini coefficient (G), an index for inequality, we characterized the early growth inequality of ninety crosses of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) and their open-pollinated parental lines. Tree cumulative height was measured annually for 8 consecutive years. Both the crosses and parental lines exhibited temporal changes in growth inequality. The inequality of total height among the crosses decreased logarithmically with age by nearly 3-fold after 13 growing seasons, suggesting that tree height became less variable among the crosses as trees grew larger. Interestingly, the Lorenz asymmetry, an index reflecting the shape of the Lorenze curve from which G is derived, revealed that the inequality of annual height increment among the crosses resulted from an alternate contribution of the fast-growing and slow-growing trees. Among parental lines, two provenances with the smallest and the largest overall inequality in total height showed a similar pattern of changes in annual growth inequality, and the provenance differences were consistent over time. Compared to the other provinces, a local provenance exhibited less variation in total height among individual trees as reflected by a smaller value of inequality, and was better adapted to the field conditions. Our results demonstrated the sensitivity and usefulness of the Gini coefficient and Lorenz asymmetry for the analysis of growth inequality in non-natural populations. Growth inequality is a potentially useful evaluation criterion for early selection. Given comparable initial growth, provenances/families with lower growth inequality values would likely outperform those with higher growth inequality, and eventually tree size of the latter would be more variable due to greater variations among individual trees. Assessment of growth inequality at early ages will advance our understanding of variability of tree growth within a population, facilitate forest genetics improvement programs, and enhance the efficiency of tree breeding.

Cellular entry of Hantaan virus A9 strain: specific interactions with beta3 integrins and a novel 70kDa protein

Cellular entry of pathogenic hantaviruses had been shown to be mediated by beta3 integrins. However, no direct evidence exists that hantavirus binds to beta3 integrins, and integrin beta3 subunit is not expressed on some cells permissive to hantavirus infection. In this report, utilizing beta3-integrin-transfected CHO cells, we demonstrated that integrin beta3 subunit renders CHO cells susceptible to Chinese Hantaan virus (HTN) strain A9 (isolated in China), and the viral infection was correspondingly inhibited by antibodies to alphavbeta3, alphaIIbbeta3, beta3, and alphav integrins. Furthermore, virus overlay protein-binding assay and 'quarternary Western' analysis indicate that HTN A9 directly interacts with beta3 integrins and an unidentified 70kDa protein. These findings indicate that beta3 integrins play a crucial role in cellular entry of HTN A9 via specific interactions with the virus. In addition, a novel 70kDa protein may serves as a candidate receptor or alternative cellular component for interaction with HTN.     

猪β干扰素在毕赤酵母中的分泌表达及其对伪狂犬病毒的抑制作用

为了研制高活性的重组猪β干扰素,对PoIFN-β成熟蛋白第3、7和164位的3个氨基酸密码子进行毕赤酵母偏嗜性改造并构建了酵母表达载体pPICZαA-PIB。pPICZαA-PIB经SacⅠ酶切线性化后电转化导入毕赤酵母菌株X-33。多株PCR鉴定为阳性的酵母转化子经甲醇诱导发酵分泌表达了PoIFN-β,其中B1株酵母的PoIFN-β产量最高,约为2.5×105U/mL,其表达量约为60μg/mL,比活为4.17×106U/mg。将发酵上清液用PEG20000浓缩后进行SDS-PAGE和Western blot检测,结果表明表达产物是分子量约为28kDa和25kDa蛋白的混合物,两者均可与PoIFN-β阳性抗血清发生特异反应。表达产物比PoIFN-β理论推导分子量(约20.8kDa)大,推测可能是表达产物发生了不同程度的糖基化。重组PoIFN-β对伪狂犬病毒在细胞中增殖可呈现抑制作用,并且rPoIFN-β对伪狂犬病毒在MDBK细胞上早期增殖的抑制效果最为明显。
