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。

通过对高寒草甸生态系统内香鼬、艾虎和大(狂鸟)3种食肉类稳定性碳和氮同位素比值(δ13C和δ15N)的测定,依据同位素的质量平衡原理和IsoSource软件计算得到:小型哺乳类在香鼬、艾虎和大(狂鸟)食谱中的分配比例分别为26.8%、27.0%和29.2%;雀形目成鸟的分配比例为22.3%、47.7%和69.1%;雀形目幼鸟为50.9%、25.6%和1.70%.3种食肉类的稳定性碳和氮同位素分布模式在二维空间上存在明显分割,由此说明,香鼬、艾虎和大(狂鸟)之间存在明显的食物资源分割现象,同时也反映了三者在高寒草甸生态系统内共存的基础.     

应用胎儿特异性抗体HbF（γ链）标记法无创性 产前基因诊断DMD

以孕8~26周孕妇外周血为材料,经过Percoll密度梯度离心初步富集,胎儿细胞特异性抗体—HbF标记、识别胎儿有核红细胞,母体和胎儿有核红细胞的精确区分是以胎儿和成人血红蛋白的组成差异为基础的。胎儿细胞胞浆黄染,而具有成人血红蛋白的母体细胞没有颜色。显微操作法获取全部阳性细胞后,以其全基因组扩增（PEP）的产物为模板,进行性别检测、DMD基因的多重PCR检测和STR连锁分析。结果,20名孕妇外周血中均发现与HbF呈阳性反应的胎儿NRBC。并完成7例DMD的产前基因诊断。HbF抗体标记法能有效识别胎儿有核红细胞,是无创性产前基因诊断中很有应用前景的标记方法。 Abstract： Maternal blood was obtained at 8-26weeks of gestation.After discontinuous density gradient centrifugation with Percoll ,HbF antibody was used to identify fetal NRBC.The precise differentiation between fetal and maternal NRBC is based on the constitutional difference between fetal and adult hemoglobin (Hb).Fetal cells appear yellow cytoplasmic staining,while adult cells colorless. NRBCs were collected by micromanipulation andwhole genome amplification was performed. DMD was prenatally diagnosed by using the combination of sex determination,multiplex PCR and linkage analysis of several STR sites of dystrophin. NRBCs stained with HbF were found in all of 20 maternal blood samples with gestations, and 7 fetuses with risk of DMD were diagnosed. We concluded that HbF antibody could identify fetal NRBC efficaciously,and this is a kind of more prospective application method.

用测定新城疫病毒(NDV)毒力的经典方法,即鸡胚平均死亡时间(MDT)和脑内接种致病指数(ICPI),对源于鸡、鸽、鹅、珍珠鸡、孔雀、鹌鹑和画眉鸟等7种禽(鸟)源的共14个禽Ⅰ型副粘病毒(APMV-1)广西分离株,分别测定了毒力。同时对分离株F基因的N一端前段和HN基因的e末端片段进行扩增、测序和分析,并绘制系谱树。结果发现,分离株的MDT在36h～75h之间,除1株鸽源毒株gxp22的ICPI值为0外,其余分离株在1．09～1．95之间;除孔雀源的分离株gxpc52在F基因裂解位点附近的氨基酸序列为^112R-RQ-R-R-F^117之外,其它13株均为^112R-R-Q-K-R-F^117,都符合强毒株的特征。所有分离株与国内参考强毒株F48E8和国外参考强毒株HER／33在HN基因e末端终止密码子的位置相同,也符合强毒株的特征。根据F基因核苷酸序列绘制的系谱树发现,近几年来在广西流行的APMV-1毒株的基因型为Ⅶd亚型;根据HN基因核苷酸序列绘制的系谱树表明,广西各种禽源APMV-1分离株可分为2个群。研究的结果表明,根据F基因裂解位点附近的氨基酸序列和HN蛋白翻译的终止密码子的位置判定APMV-1毒力的结果,都与毒株在临床上的致病情况相符。因此,根据F基因和HN基因序列和结构的特征,均可以判定APMV-1临床分离株的体内致病性。

苹果柠檬酸合酶3基因家族成员鉴定及表达分析

柠檬酸合酶(citrate synthase 3, CS3)是细胞代谢途径中的关键酶之一,其活性调节着生物体的物质和能量代谢过程。本研究旨在从苹果全基因组中鉴定CS3基因家族成员,并进行生物信息学和表达模式分析,为研究苹果CS3基因的潜在功能提供理论基础。利用BLASTp基于GDR数据库鉴定苹果CS3家族成员,通过Pfam、SMART、MEGA5.0、clustalx.exe、ExPASy Proteomics Server、MEGAX、SOPMA、MEME和WoLF PSORT等软件分析CS3蛋白序列基本信息、亚细胞定位情况、结构域组成、系统进化关系以及染色体定位情况。利用酸含量的测定和实时荧光定量PCR (real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, qRT-PCR)技术检测苹果6个CS3的组织表达和诱导表达特性。苹果CS3基因家族包含6个成员,这些CS3蛋白包括473−608个不等的氨基酸残基,等电点分布在7.21−8.82。亚细胞定位结果显示CS3蛋白分别定位在线粒体和叶绿体。系统进化分析可将其分为3类,各亚家族基因数量分别为2个。染色体定位结果显示,CS3基因分布在苹果不同的染色体上。蛋白二级结构以a-螺旋为主,其次是无规则卷曲,b-转角所占比例最小。筛选的6个家族成员在不同苹果组织中均有表达,整体表达趋势从高到低依次为MdCS3.4相对表达含量最高,MdCS3.6次之,其他家族成员相对表达量依次为MdCS3.3>MdCS3.2>MdCS3.1>MdCS3.5。qRT-PCR结果显示,MdCS3.1和MdCS3.3基因在酸含量较低的‘成纪1号’果肉中相对表达量最高,酸含量较高的‘艾斯达’果肉中MdCS3.2和MdCS3.3基因相对表达量最高。因此,本研究对不同苹果品种中CS3基因相对表达量进行了检测,并分析了其在苹果果实酸合成过程中的作用。结果表明,CS3基因在不同苹果品种中的相对表达量存在差异,为后续研究苹果品质形成机制提供了参考。
