厌氧真菌纤维降解酶及其应用潜力的研究进展

反刍动物的瘤胃是已知的纤维降解能力最强的天然发酵罐,其发酵粗纤维的能力很大程度上依赖于其中栖息的各类微生物的功能。厌氧真菌作为瘤胃内的一类低丰度菌群,最先定殖到宿主动物摄入的纤维质饲料上,并通过分泌大量高效的碳水化合物活性酶降解粗纤维。然而,由于缺乏足够的基因组信息和有效的厌氧真菌遗传操作系统,目前国内外对厌氧真菌分泌的纤维降解酶及其降解机制的研究进展有限。本文对厌氧真菌的分类及已发表的基因组信息进行概述,介绍了各类纤维降解酶及纤维小体的组成结构和催化机制特点,并对纤维降解酶在生物质能、饲料处理、纺织造纸及食品加工等方面的应用进行总结。研究厌氧真菌纤维降解酶的作用特性,将有助于完善其在瘤胃环境中有效竞争资源并降解粗纤维的知识体系,也将进一步了解其生物技术应用潜力,为工业生产中应用酶制剂提供新思路。

Macrophage Depletion Impairs Corneal Wound Healing after Autologous Transplantation in Mice

Purpose

Macrophages have been shown to play a critical role in the wound healing process. In the present study, the role of macrophages in wound healing after autologous corneal transplantation was investigated by depleting local infiltrated macrophages.

Methods

Autologous corneal transplantation model was used to induce wound repair in Balb/c mice. Macrophages were depleted by sub-conjunctival injections of clodronate-containing liposomes (Cl₂MDP-LIP). The presence of CD11b⁺ F4/80⁺ macrophages, α-smooth muscle actin⁺ (α-SMA⁺) myofibroblasts, CD31⁺ vascular endothelial cells and NG₂ ⁺ pericytes was examined by immunohistochemical and corneal whole-mount staining 14 days after penetrating keratoplasty. Peritoneal macrophages were isolated from Balb/c mice and transfused into conjunctiva to examine the recovery role of macrophages depletion on wound healing after autologous corneal transplantation.

Results

Sub-conjunctival Cl₂MDP-LIP injection significantly depleted the corneal resident phagocytes and infiltrated macrophages into corneal stroma. Compared with the mice injected with PBS-liposome, the Cl₂MDP-LIP-injected mice showed few inflammatory cells, irregularly distributed extracellular matrix, ingrowth of corneal epithelium into stroma, and even the detachment of donor cornea from recipient. Moreover, the number of macrophages, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells and pericytes was also decreased in the junction area between the donor and recipient cornea in macrophage-depleted mice. Peritoneal macrophages transfusion recovered the defect of corneal wound healing caused by macrophages depletion.

Conclusions

Macrophage depletion significantly impairs wound healing after autologous corneal transplantation through at least partially impacting on angiogenesis and wound closure.     

乳酸链球菌素对瘤胃体外发酵、甲烷生成及功能菌群数量的影响北大核心CSCD

【目的】旨在通过体外静态模拟瘤胃发酵法研究乳酸链球菌素(NI)对瘤胃发酵、甲烷生成及功能菌群数量的影响。【方法】以不添加任何添加剂处理做阴性对照(NC),以莫能菌素(MON,5μmol/L)做阳性对照,试验组NI添加水平分别为3(NI-3)、9(NI-9)和27 mg/100 m L(NI-27),每个处理4个重复,分别于培养后的0、3、6、9、12、24 h测定产气量和甲烷产量。培养24 h后,采集发酵液样品,用于发酵参数和菌群数量的测定。【结果】与NC组相比,添加NI和MON均能显著降低产气量和甲烷产量(P<0.05);添加NI对pH值、干物质消失率(DMD)和有机物消失率(OMD)无显著影响(P>0.05);NI-9处理组与NC组相比氨态氮浓度显著降低(P<0.05),而NI-3和NI-27组氨氮浓度没有显著变化(P>0.05);相比而言,MON处理组DMD、OMD和氨氮浓度与NC组相比均显著降低(P<0.05),而pH值与其他各处理组相比没有差异(P>0.05);与NC组相比,NI各处理组和MON组乙酸浓度及乙丙比均显著降低(P<0.05),丙酸浓度显著提高(P<0.05)。功能菌方面,qPCR结果显示添加NI和MON对总菌和拟杆菌门数量均无显著影响(P>0.05);与NC相比,添加NI对原虫、甲烷菌、真菌和厚壁菌门数量均无显著影响(P>0.05),而MON组原虫、甲烷菌、真菌和厚壁菌门数量显著降低(P<0.05);NI和MON处理均显著提高了硫还原菌和C.aminophilum数量(P<0.05),但C.sticklandii数量不受影响(P>0.05)。【结论】添加适宜浓度的NI可降低瘤胃甲烷与氨的生成,但并不影响饲料消化,这种发酵模式的改变可能与瘤胃功能菌群数量与多样性的变化密切相关。

微生物介导反刍动物瘤胃氨生成及其对瘤胃功能的影响

反刍动物瘤胃中栖息着丰富多样的微生物,其在瘤胃内氨生成过程中发挥了重要的作用。微生物介导的氨基酸脱氨基作用和非蛋白氮水解作用是瘤胃内氨生成的主要途径。微生物介导了瘤胃内氨的生成,同时瘤胃内产生的氨也会反馈影响微生物菌群结构及瘤胃上皮功能,进而影响瘤胃发酵及宿主健康。本文主要综述了瘤胃微生物在介导氨生成中的作用和氨对瘤胃消化及瘤胃上皮功能的影响,以期对后续研究有所启发。

Effects of low dietary protein on the metabolites and microbial communities in the caecal digesta of piglets

Thirty-six healthy piglets (weighing 10 ± 1 kg; three animals per pen) were randomly allocated to two treatments: (i) a low protein diet (14% crude protein [CP]) supplemented with lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan (Group LP) and (ii) a normal protein diet (20% CP, Group NP), resulting in six replicate pens per treatment. One piglet from each pen was slaughtered at days 10, 25 and 45 of the experiment. For the whole experimental period of 45 d, Group LP had lower feed intake and daily gain and a higher feed-to-gain ratio compared with Group NP. At day 10, no effects on measured caecum metabolites were observed, but at days 25 and 45 in Group LP the concentration of ammonia-N, cadaverine, branched chain fatty acids and acetate were reduced. This was also true for the concentration of short chain fatty acids at day 45. The results of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis showed that microbial diversity in Group LP was less abundant at day 25, but there was no difference at days 10 and 45. An unweighted pair group mean average analysis showed that the similarities were lower between Groups LP and NP at day 10 and higher at days 25 and 45. Quantitation results indicated that the numbers of Firmicutes and Clostridium cluster IV were lower in Group LP than in Group NP at day 25, but there were no differences at days 10 and 45. In conclusion, the low protein diet markedly reduced the metabolites of protein and carbohydrate fermentation and altered microbial communities in the caecal digesta of piglets.
