CSN1S2、CSN3和β-Lg基因对西农萨能奶山羊产奶性能的影响

利用PCRRFLP技术对69只西农萨能奶山羊群体的CSN1S2基因、CSN3基因和βlg基因多态性与产奶性状的相关性进行了研究。结果表明,CSN1S2基因的不同基因型与产奶性能间存在相关性:FF基因型个体前4胎平均产奶量显著低于NN基因型个体(P<0.05),FF基因型个体第2胎产奶量比NN基因型个体低90kg以上(P<0.01),提示CSN1S2基因座F等位基因可能与低产奶量有关。在CSN3HindⅢ基因座中,DE和EE基因型个体在第1、2、3、4胎产奶量和平均产奶量上差异不显著(P>0.05);在CSN3TaqⅠ基因座中,TT、TC和CC3种基因型个体在第1、2、3、4胎产奶量和平均产奶量上差异不显著(P>0.05);CSN3基因经HaeⅢ酶切没有发现多态性。对βlg基因5′侧翼区的分析发现,AA基因型个体各胎次产奶量均比AB型高,其中在第2、3胎产奶量和平均产奶量3项指标上都达到显著水平(P<0.05),提示βlg基因的A等位基因可能与高产奶性能有关。

中国人胃癌染色体17q21区域基因遗传不稳定性研究

To investigate microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of locus D17S396, D17S579 and D17S855, and their effect on the expression of nm23H1 and BRCA1 of gastric cancer, which would provide experimental basis for clinical treatment and prognosis analysis of gastric cancer. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded materials. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) was used to analyze MSI and LOH. Expression of nm23H, and BRCA1 was detected by Envision immuno-histochemistry and Leica-Qwin computer imaging techniques. In the forty cases of gastric cancer, the frequency of MSI, LOH and nm23H1 protein were 20.00%, 17.50% and 55.00% respectively at locus D17S396, while at locus D17S579, the frequency of MSI, LOH and BRCA1 protein were 22.50%, 15.00% and 37.50% respectively; at locus D17S855, the frequency of MSI, LOH and BRCA1 of thirty-seven cases were 18.92%, 18.92%, 37.84% respectively. In tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging, at locus D17S396, D17S579 and D17S855, MSI in stages I + II appeared more frequently than that in stages III + IV, while LOH appeared the contrary tendency. In the group of metastasis of gastric cancer, MSI had a less frequency (5.00%) than that with no metastasis (35.00%, P < 0.05) at locus D17S396, but LOH appeared more frequently (30.00%) than that with no metastasis (5.00%, P < 0.05). At locus D17S579, MSI had an increasing tendency with the degree of tumor differentiation (50.00% in high differentiation cases, 20.00% in middle differentiation cases, and 0% in low differentiation cases, P < 0.05). The frequency of nm23H1 and BRCA1 protein in stages TNM I + II was higher than that in stages TNM III + IV; and that in higher differentiation cases was higher than in poor differentiation cases. The frequency of nm23H1 protein in the group of metastasis (30.00%) was less than that with no metastasis significantly (80.00%, P<0.01). The frequency of nm23H1 protein in the group positive to MSI (87.50%) was higher than that in the group negative to MSI (46.88%, P < 0.05). However, nm23H1 protein in group positive to LOH (14.29%) was lower than that in the group negative to LOH (63.64%, P < 0.05). The frequency of BRCA1 protein in the group positive to MSI (66.67%) was more than that in the group negative to MSI (29.03%, P < 0.05). The results of experiments indicate that MSI and LOH may separately control the development of sporadic colon cancer with different pathways. MSI may be an early period molecule marker for sporadic colon cancer, enhanced expression of nm23H1 protein can effectively inhibit colon cancer metastasis and improve prognosis of sporadic colon cancer patients. By comparison, LOH mostly arises in the late period of sporadic colon cancer and endows a high aggressive and poor prognostic phenotype. nm23H1 protein could effectively restrain gastric cancer metastasis and development; and BRCA1 protein could restain tumor from becoming lower differentiation.

葡萄糖类似物甲基葡萄糖对表皮葡萄球菌生物被膜形成的影响及调节机制的研究

生物被膜(Biofilm)是条件致病菌表皮葡萄球菌(Staphylococcusepidermidis)的主要致病因素,生物被膜的形成依赖多糖PIA的合成,PIA合成与细菌糖代谢相关。通过研究葡萄糖类似物甲基葡萄糖(MethylDglucoside,MG)对生物被膜的形成及相关基因表达的影响,考察生物被膜形成的调控机制并寻找抑制生物被膜形成的方法。甲基葡萄糖能抑制97337株生物被膜的形成,而且不同浓度的甲基葡萄糖对生物膜作用不同。甲基葡萄糖对97337株生物被膜形成的早期的粘附有较强的抑制作用;不同浓度的甲基葡萄糖处理后对ica和AtlE基因的mRNA表达水平影响不大,但能诱导agr基因的表达,这与甲基葡萄糖处理不同时间后的结果一致;而且甲基葡萄糖处理后97337的表面相关蛋白的组成明显改变。甲基葡萄糖对生物膜的抑制并不直接由于它对生长的抑制,它对细菌生长和生物被膜形成的抑制与其在细菌糖代谢中的竞争性相关;甲基葡萄糖能通过调控agr基因的表达改变细菌表面从而抑制97337的早期粘附和生物被膜的形成,但没有通过调控icaADBC、icaR的表达抑制生物膜的形成,可能与其对合成PIA相关糖基转移酶的竞争性抑制相关。
