建立以TK基因为标记将外源基因导入臭曲霉（Asper—gillus...

A new system for selection of transformed Aspergillus foetidus was reported. In this system, TK- A. foetidus which were constructed by homologous recombination of mutated TK gene of vaccinia virus with TK gene of A. foetidus were screened by adding BUdR in agar plates. Conditions for screen of TK+ A. foetidus strain, transformation of A. foetidus and selection of transformed TK- A. foetidus have been studied. By using this system, several transformed A. foetidus which contained HBsAg gene derived bf a promoter H8 cloned from genomic DNA of A. foetidus were isolated. It was demonstrated that HBsAg gene was integrated into the chromosome DNA of A. foetidus by Southern blot after many passages of spores. ELISA showed that HBsAg was positive in the growth medium (p/n = 20). The 22 nm particles which were very similar to the HBsAg particles in human serum were found in the growth medium by immunoelectromicroscope. Western blot also gave the specific bands. All these data showed that HBsAg gene was expressed in A. foetidus and the products were secreted into the growth medium. The selection system using TK gene as marker could generally be used to study the expression of foreign gene in A. foetidus.     

CRISPR/Cas9系统纳米递送及其在肿瘤治疗中应用

新兴的CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑技术可实现在分子水平上对基因进行操作,具有设计简单、易于操作、特异性好、效率高等优点,广泛应用于肿瘤发生、发展和转移的潜在机制以及临床治疗的研究.利用纳米技术研发的非病毒纳米载体可以将CRISPR/Cas9系统高效递送到体内,为CRISPR/Cas9技术在临床领域的应用提供新途径.本文介绍CRISPR/Cas9的作用原理,简要概括目前CRISPR/Cas9系统的递送形式和常用的纳米递送载体,总结在部分肿瘤治疗中应用该技术的研究进展,并进一步对此进行展望.     

F10蛋白及mRNA在部分正常组织及癌组织中的表达

目的:了解F10基因在部分正常组织及肿瘤组织中的表达情况。方法:利用原位杂交和免疫组化方法对F10在部分正常组织和肿瘤组织中的mRNA和蛋白表达情况进行分析。结果:F10基因不仅在腺癌组织中表达呈阳性,在鳞癌组织中表现出较腺癌更强的强阳性,并且在正常组织中也有一定的表达。结论:F10是一个在多种组织普遍表达的细胞内蛋白,其功能可能与物质转运相关。     

中老缅边境蚊虫标本中Nam Dinh病毒的分离和鉴定

2012年在云南省南部中老缅边境地区采集的库蚊中分离到3株病毒(YN12039、YN12040、YN12060),该病毒只引起C6/36细胞发生病变。负染电镜观察病毒颗粒呈球形,直径60~80nm,有囊膜,表面有刺突。采用RTPCR方法对分离株的RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶(RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase,RdRp)、HEL1(superfamily 1helicase)、S蛋白(spike protein)基因进行扩增,同源性分析显示3株云南新分离株与Nam Dinh病毒(NDiV)RdRp、HEL1、S蛋白氨基酸序列相似度最高,均为98%以上。系统进化分析结果表明,3株云南新分离株与NDiV的亲缘关系最近,处于同一进化分支。该研究结果丰富了NDiV病毒的信息,对NDiV病毒分子特征、分布区域和物种嗜性等特征提供了数据参考。     

珐琅质如何拯救牙齿

没有光和氧，微生物也能生存150万年之久，这发生在南极数百英尺厚的冰下，科学家通过分析泰勒冰川偶尔流出的红色水样（富含铁）发现了它们的存在。基因检测则显示这些微生物类似于今天海洋环境中的微生物。科学家认为，该微生物曾经生活在海洋，约150万年～200万年前海洋被冰川截断形成池塘，并最终被冰河覆盖，微生物也与世隔绝。至于它们为何能在没有光和氧的条件下存活数百年之久，很有可能它们能通过一种偶联的铁～硫代谢将水中的硫酸盐还原，并获得能量。
