Tobacco chloroplast transformation is typically achieved using dominant, selectable antibiotic resistance genes such as aadA, nptII and aphA-6. An improvement would be the combination of such a marker with a visual screening system for the early and conclusive detection of plastid transformants. As such, we investigated the use of three photosynthesis-deficient plastid mutants, DeltapetA, Deltaycf3 and DeltarpoA, for the development of a phenotypic selection system. Mutant plants were used as an alternative to the wild-type as source tissue for transformation, re-introducing deleted plastid sequences and using the aphA-6 gene as a selection marker. The reconstitution of the deleted genes in transformed regenerants resulted in shoots with a visually distinct phenotype comparable to the wild-type. This transformation/selection system overcomes the common problems associated with plastid transformation, e.g. the recovery of spontaneous mutants or nuclear insertions. In addition to the benefits offered by phenotypic selection, phenotype reconstitution leads to restoration of photosynthesis, which we assume drives reconstituted plants rapidly towards homoplasmy. As such, repeated cycles of regeneration in the presence of an antibiotic selection agent are no longer required. 相似文献

Summary Using a modification of the alginate film culture technique we show that it is possible to prepare and culture tobacco mesophyll and barley cell suspension protoplasts without centrifugation. Comparable division frequencies and colony development were observed from protoplasts embedded with enzyme and protoplasts purified by centrifugation. A 3 × 30 min washing regime was found to be the minimum time necessary to remove the enzyme from the gelled alginate matrix. The procedure provides a more gentle method for isolating protoplasts. It has the additional benefit of recovering all of the cells released from the starting tissue. In particular, the smaller protoplasts that are frequently lost during conventional isolation, are maintained. In barley, we illustrate the use of the system for recovering plants from embryogenic protoplast-derived calli from the cultivars Dissa and Igri. Finally, using small volumes of enzyme (50 l) single cell aggregates were used to isolate and culture protoplasts.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Feeder-free growth of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells 总被引:59,自引:0,他引:59

Previous studies have shown that maintenance of undifferentiated human embryonic stem (hES) cells requires culture on mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeders. Here we demonstrate a successful feeder-free hES culture system in which undifferentiated cells can be maintained for at least 130 population doublings. In this system, hES cells are cultured on Matrigel or laminin in medium conditioned by MEF. The hES cells maintained on feeders or off feeders express integrin alpha6 and beta1, which may form a laminin-specific receptor. The hES cell populations in feeder-free conditions maintained a normal karyotype, stable proliferation rate, and high telomerase activity. Similar to cells cultured on feeders, hES cells maintained under feeder-free conditions expressed OCT-4, hTERT, alkaline phosphatase, and surface markers including SSEA-4, Tra 1-60, and Tra 1-81. In addition, hES cells maintained without direct feeder contact formed teratomas in SCID/beige mice and differentiated in vitro into cells from all three germ layers. Thus, the cells retain fundamental characteristics of hES cells in this culture system and are suitable for scaleup production. 相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 27), systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 24), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (n = 30), osteoarthritis (n = 20), apparently healthy adults (n = 12), and nonarthritic children (n = 8) were exposed to several putative connective tissue antigens to determine if the monokine, mononuclear cell factor, was released. Release of this factor was detected by bioassay in which enhancement of collagenase production from human synovial cells or dermal fibroblasts was measured. The antigens, all of homologous tissue origin, included cyanogen bromide-derived peptides of type I, II, and III collagens, type I and II helical collagens, and cartilage proteoglycan. Of the subjects examined, 44% of the rheumatoid group, 42% of the systemic lupus group, 33% of the juvenile rheumatoid group but only 10% of the osteoarthritic group and 5% of the control group released monokine after exposure of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to at least one of these connective tissue antigens. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis most frequently responded to type II peptides (but not to type II helical collagen) although the frequencies of responses to type I peptides, type I helical collagen and proteoglycan were also elevated over levels observed in the control population. Positive responses in these patients typically occurred to only one antigen, were transient, often occurred close to the onset of arthritis, and appeared to be unrelated to disease activity. The profiles of responses in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus shared many features in common and were distinct from those of adult rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with systemic lupus or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis responded to all of the antigens tested. Positive responses often occurred simultaneously to several antigens. Responses to type II helical collagen were most common while sensitization to type II peptides was infrequently detected. Positive responses were transient, unrelated to overall disease activity, type of juvenile arthritis, or duration of disease in lupus patients. Stimulation of mononuclear cell factor release by connective tissue molecules and their degradation products may make an important contribution to the chronic inflammation commonly seen in these diseases. 相似文献

Inflammatory cytokines induce synthesis and secretion of gro protein and a neutrophil chemotactic factor but not beta 2-microglobulin in human synovial cells and fibroblasts. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
Exposure of human synovial cells and fibroblasts in monolayer culture to interleukin 1 results in prominent secretion of proteins with Mr values of 6000 and 7000. By N-terminal sequence analysis, the Mr-6000 protein is identified as the protein encoded by a recently described gro mRNA. The Mr-7000 protein is identical to a neutrophil chemotactic factor released from monocytes. Stimulation of normal human fibroblasts with tumour necrosis factor alpha also results in expression and secretion of these two proteins. In addition to these cytokine-induced proteins, we have identified beta 2-microglobulin as an Mr-8000 protein constitutively secreted by synovial cells. 相似文献

Efficient plastid transformation in tobacco using the<Emphasis Type="Italic"> aphA-6</Emphasis> gene and kanamycin selection 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Here we report on the development of a new dominant selection marker for plastid transformation in higher plants using the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase gene aphA-6 from Acinetobacter baumannii. Vectors containing chimeric aphA-6 gene constructs were introduced into the tobacco chloroplast using particle bombardment of alginate-embedded protoplast-derived micro colonies or polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated DNA uptake. Targeted insertion into the plastome was achieved via homologous recombination, and plastid transformants were recovered on the basis of their resistance to kanamycin. Variations in kanamycin resistance in transplastomic lines were observed depending on the 5' and 3' regulatory elements associated with the aphA-6 coding region. Transplastomic plants were fertile and showed maternal inheritance of the transplastome in the progeny. 相似文献
