A 562 base pair fragment of DNA from a serotype A strain of Vibrio anguillarum was cloned into pUC9 and used as a hybridization probe for the rapid identification of Vibrio anguillarum by colony hybridization. The probe was tested on nine different fish pathogens, 15 Vibrio isolates, 2 organisms closely related to Vibrio, and 9 serotypes of V. anguillarum. The probe hybridized only with the DNA of V. anguillarum serotypes A and H. The sequence of the 562 nucleotides have been determined. This probe allows rapid, reliable, and specific detection of V. anguillarum in freshwater ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis. 相似文献

Thimet oligopeptidase (TOP) is a thiol- andmetallo-dependent peptidase and has been shown to beone of the -secretase candidates. TOPexpressed in COS cells cleaved amyloid precursorprotein (APP) at the -secretase site, and wefound a proteolytic product of APP called secretedform of APP by -secretase (sAPP) in theconditioned media. Here we demonstrate thatsAPP was increased in conditioned media whenTOP was coexpressed in COS cells with APP and treatedwith an ADAM inhibitor SI-27. In addition, althoughTOP expressed in COS cell was localized at nuclei orGolgi apparatus, it exclusively colocalized at Golgiapparatus when APP was coexpressed with TOP. 相似文献

It has been reported that Cordyceps sinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine, has various pharmacological effects. The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of water extract of Cordyceps sinensis (WECS) on osteoclast differentiation in vitro. In mouse bone marrow cells and monocyte/macrophage cell line RAW264.7, WECS dose-dependently inhibited the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. In fact, cytotoxic effect was not observed in the RAW264.7 cells treated with WECS. Moreover, the mRNA expression of osteoclast related genes (calcitonin receptor, cathepsin K, matrix metalloprotease 9 and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1) was also inhibited by WECS. Investigation of inhibitory mechanism by using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and Western blot analysis revealed that WECS inhibited the activation of NF-kappaB through the prevention of IkappaBalpha phosphorylation. In conclusion, the present results demonstrate for the first time that WECS is a potent inhibitor of the RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation through a mechanism involving the NF-kappaB pathway. 相似文献

We hypothesized that host antiviral genes induced by type I interferons might affect the natural course of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS-1), myxovirus resistance-A (MxA), and double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase in 44 Vietnamese SARS patients with 103 controls. The G-allele of non-synonymous A/G SNP in exon 3 of OAS-1 gene showed association with SARS (p=0.0090). The G-allele in exon 3 of OAS-1 and the one in exon 6 were in strong linkage disequilibrium and both of them were associated with SARS infection. The GG genotype and G-allele of G/T SNP at position -88 in the MxA gene promoter were found more frequently in hypoxemic group than in non-hypoxemic group of SARS (p=0.0195). Our findings suggest that polymorphisms of two IFN-inducible genes OAS-1 and MxA might affect susceptibility to the disease and progression of SARS at each level. 相似文献

ACE1 polymorphism and progression of SARS 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Itoyama S Keicho N Quy T Phi NC Long HT Ha LD Ban VV Ohashi J Hijikata M Matsushita I Kawana A Yanai H Kirikae T Kuratsuji T Sasazuki T 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2004,323(3):1124-1129
We have hypothesized that genetic predisposition influences the progression of SARS. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE1) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism was previously reported to show association with the adult respiratory distress syndrome, which is also thought to play a key role in damaging the lung tissues in SARS cases. This time, the polymorphism was genotyped in 44 Vietnamese SARS cases, with 103 healthy controls who had had a contact with the SARS patients and 50 controls without any contact history. SARS cases were divided into either non-hypoxemic or hypoxemic groups. Despite the small sample size, the frequency of the D allele was significantly higher in the hypoxemic group than in the non-hypoxemic group (p=0.013), whereas there was no significant difference between the SARS cases and controls, irrespective of a contact history. ACE1 might be one of the candidate genes that influence the progression of pneumonia in SARS. 相似文献

Movie presentation can act as an enrichment technique for nonhuman primates, who also show preferences for certain contents. This study investigated the video preferences and effects of movies on behavioral abnormalities in single-caged Japanese macaques. When movie rewards were provided for subjects' touch responses, the subjects maintained the touch responses during 40 2-hr sessions. Although repeated presentation of 1 stimulus set decreased the subject's touch response, changing the stimulus set led to recovery of this response. The subjects showed clear preferences, consistent across 2 different stimulus sets, for movies showing humans or animation (61.1% of total duration). Subjects consistently played movies both with and without their preferred content. The availability of a variety of contents might be important for attracting subjects' interest. The frequency with which monkeys engaged in abnormal behaviors decreased in the experimental (20.9%) and the postexperimental (25.6%) periods compared with the preexperimental period (33.5%). Movie presentations could keep attracting the interest of single-caged monkeys in their visual environment, ameliorating their behavioral abnormalities for some time. In summary, social experience during infancy might influence Japanese macaques' movie preferences. 相似文献

Blastocystis is an intestinal protist, commonly found in the human population and in a wide range of animals globally. Currently, isolates from mammalian and avian hosts are classified into 17 subtypes (STs) based on phylogeny of the small subunit rRNA gene (SSU rDNA), of which ten (ST1-9, 12) are reported in humans. ST10 is a major ST reported from livestock cattle. However, other STs including ST1, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which have the potential to be transmitted to humans, are also reported from cattle in several countries. Although a survey has been conducted previously in western Japan for livestock cattle, there is no information available regarding other parts of Japan. Therefore, this study surveyed the prevalence of Blastocystis and its STs in cattle from Kanagawa prefecture, eastern Japan. Fecal specimens, collected from 133 dairy cattle on four different farms, were subjected to a short-term xenic in vitro culture and Blastocystis were identified by microscopic examination. Seventy-two cattle were positive for Blastocystis (54.1%). Direct sequences for the partial SSU rDNA were obtained for 45 samples. Based on nucleotide sequence homology search and phylogenetic analysis, 44 isolates were identified as ST14 and one as ST10. Our study confirms the presence of these STs in dairy cattle in Japan for the first time. The STs identified here, ST10 and ST14, support previous findings that Bovidae may be the natural host for both STs. 相似文献

Simple correlation and multiple regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between primary productivity and environmental factors in the north basin of Lake Biwa. The primary production rates used in the analyses were estimated monthly or bimonthly during the growing season (April–November) in 1992, 1996 and 1997 with the 13C method. Elemental (C, N and P) contents of seston were used to assess nutrient conditions. Analyses revealed that 86% of variance in depth-integrated primary production rates (areal PP) can be explained by changes in light intensity, and sestonic C, N and P concentrations. Water temperature had no effect on areal PP. To assess relative effects of light and nutrients on PP, the P:B ratio was estimated by normalizing PP with sestonic C. The areal P:B ratio correlated most significantly with the sestonic N:P ratio, followed by light intensity. When regression analyses were made at each depth, however, the P:B ratio correlated significantly only with the sestonic N:P ratio at 0 and 1 m depths, while light intensity was also incorporated into the regressions at deeper than 2.5 m. In these regressions, the P:B ratio was negatively correlated with sestonic N:P ratio but positively with light intensity. The results suggest that the primary production rate in this lake was mainly limited by P relative to N supply rates, but was not free from light limitation in a large part of the epilimnion. In Lake Biwa, the vertical water mixing regime as well as the nutrient supply seem to be important in determining the growth and composition of primary producers, since the surface mixing layer extends into 10–15 m depths during most of the growing season. 相似文献
