水螅和涡虫的立体生态养殖

水螅（Ｈｙｄｒａ）和三角头涡虫（Ｄｕｇｅｓｉａ）是动物学实验与研究的重要材料,但由于河流污染和生态环境的破坏,野外已不易采到。人们曾摸索了许多单纯饲养水螅和涡虫的方法,但由于投饵和经常换水等问题,工作量较大而不能长期养殖。我们在研究野外水螅和涡虫共同栖息的小生境的基础上,结合前人的一些经验,于１９９４年开始在室内进行了水螅和涡虫的立体生态混养实验,获得了成功。１　饲养缸的制作和安放用０．５ｃｍ厚的普通玻璃制作长５５ｃｍ、宽３３ｃｍ、高２５ｃｍ和长３５ｃｍ、宽３５ｃｍ、高１５ｃｍ的玻璃缸各１个,前…     

东亚三角头涡虫一氧化氮合酶的组织化学定位初步研究

采用一氧化氮合酶（ＮＯＳ）组织化学定位方法研究了三角涡虫的ＮＯＳ的分布。结果表明,三角涡虫的咽部具有ＮＯＳ分布,在神经系统中未发现ＮＯＳ分布。推测咽部ＮＯＳ可能与其摄食有关。

Djrho2 is involved in regeneration of visual nerves in Dugesia japonica

The freshwater planarian is a powerful animal model for studying regeneration and stem cell activity in vivo.During regeneration,stem ceils (neoblasts in planarian) migrated to the wounding edge to re-build missing parts of the body.However, proteins involved in regulating cell migration during planarian regeneration have not been studied extensively.Here we report two small GTPase genes (Djrho2 and Djrho3) of Dugesia japonica (strain Pek-1).In situ hybridization results indicated that Djrho2 was expressed throughout the body with the exception of the pharynx region while Djrho3 was specifically expressed along the gastro-vaseular system.Djrho2 was largely expressed in neoblasts since its expression was sensitive to X-ray irradiation.In Djrho2-RNAi planarians, smaller anterior blaste-mas were observed in tail fragments during regeneration.Consistently, defective regeneration of visual nerve was detected by immu-nostainning with VC-1 antibody.These results suggested that Djrho2 is required for proper anterior regeneration in planairan.In contrast,no abnormality was observed after RNAi of Djrho3.We compared protein compositions of control and Djrho2-RNAi planarians using an optimized proteomic approach.Twenty-two up-regulated and 26 de-regulated protein spots were observed in the two-dimensional elec-trophoresis gels, and 17 proteins were successfully identified by Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis.Among them, 6 actin-binding or cy-toskeleton-related proteins were found de-expressed in Djrho2-RNAi animals, suggesting that abnormal cytoskeleton assembling and cell migration were likely reasons of defected regeneration.     

A small scale expression screen identifies tissue specific markers in the Dugesia japonica strain Pek-1

Freshwater planaria has tremendous capacity to reform the missing part of the body and therefore is considered as one of the most important model organism for regeneration study.At present,Schmidtea mediterranea and Dugesia japonica are the two major species utilized for laboratory manipulations.Dugesia japonica flatworms are widely distributed in the Far East including Cherry Valley region in the north-west area of Beijing,China.We reported here the establishment of an asexual Dugesia japonica strain Pek-1,as a suitable system for regeneration study.Using morphological,karyotypical as well as phyiogenetic analyses,we confirmed that these flatworms indeed belonged to Dugesia japonica.We went on to show that the commonly used in situ probes and immunohistochemistry reagents and protocols were applicable to the Pek-1 strain.Using this strain,we carried out small scale analysis on EST,RNAi and gene expression.We identified 193 unique EST sequences and 65 of them had not been reported in planarian.By RNAi analysis,we showed that 48 genes,when down-regulated individually,had no effect on regeneration.Furthermore,we identified 3 groups of tissue specific expressing genes that were useful for cell lineage analysis.We concluded that the Dugesia japonica Pek-1 swain could be another suitable animal model to regeneration research.
