Seeking for Senile-Related Gene Expression in Cerebral Tissue of Senescence-Accelerated Mouse

1. A better understanding of the molecular effect on aging in the brain may help reveal important aspects of organism aging, as well as the processes that lead to aging-related brain dysfunction. In this study, the aging-specific expression genes of the murine cerebrum were investigated by using the technique of DDRT-PCR in two senescence-accelerated mouse strains, SAMP10/Ta and SAMR1TA.2. Through comparing gene expression profile among the age, 2, 4, 12, and 18 month of the SAMP10/Ta strain, four differential fragments have been found, and comparing gene expression profile between the two mouse strains, 24 fragments have been detected, 7 and 17 of them belong to SAMP10/Ta and SAMR1TA, respectively.3. Sequencing analysis indicated that most of those fragments are homologous with some of certain gene cDNA that are related with senile. The data obtained from this study suggest that many genes are involved in the senile process and accelerate senescence phenotypic pathologies in SAMP10/Ta.

Gene Expression in Tilapia Following Oral Delivery of Chitosan-Encapsulated Plasmid DNA Incorporated into Fish Feeds

DNA delivery into fish is important for transient gene expression, (e.g., DNA vaccination). Previous studies have generally focused on intramuscular injection of DNA vaccines into fish. However, this method is obviously impractical and laborious for injecting large numbers of fishes. This study reports oral delivery of a construct expressing the β-galactosidase reporter gene into fish by encapsulating the DNA in chitosan and incorporating it into fish feeds. We found that β-galactosidase expression could be observed in the stomachs, spleens, and gills of fishes fed with flakes containing the chitosan-DNA complex. These results suggest that DNA vaccines and other constructs can be easily and cheaply delivered into fishes orally by use of carriers and incorporation into fish feeds.     

Comparative Gene Expression Analysis of Mouse and Human Cardiac Maturation

Understanding how human cardiomyocytes mature is crucial to realizing stem cell-based heart regeneration, modeling adult heart diseases, and facilitating drug discovery. However, it is not feasible to analyze human samples for maturation due to inaccessibility to samples while cardiomy-ocytes mature during fetal development and childhood, as well as difficulty in avoiding variations among individuals. Using model animals such as mice can be a useful strategy;nonetheless, it is not well-understood whether and to what degree gene expression profiles during maturation are shared between humans and mice. Therefore, we performed a comparative gene expression analysis of mice and human samples. First, we examined two distinct mice microarray platforms for shared gene expression profiles, aiming to increase reliability of the analysis. We identified a set of genes display-ing progressive changes during maturation based on principal component analysis. Second, we demonstrated that the genes identified had a differential expression pattern between adult and ear-lier stages (e.g., fetus) common in mice and humans. Our findings provide a foundation for further genetic studies of cardiomyocyte maturation.

小鼠子宫内膜LIF基因表达与雌、孕激素的关系

白血病抑制因子（LIF）是一种多功能活性的糖蛋白,LIF基因在大多数妊娠第4天的小鼠子宫内膜进行着强烈的表达,然而LIF基因表达调控的机制目前尚不清楚。本实验对168只妊娠第4~5天的小鼠LIF基因表达和血清中雌、孕激素水平分别进行了检测,发现18只小鼠无LIF基因表达,其血清中雌、孕激素水平分别极显著（P＜0.01）和显著（0.01＜P＜0.05）低于其他表达的小鼠。提示：雌、孕激素对小鼠LIF基因表达过程中起着一定的作用,将为LIF基因表达调控机制的深入研究打下基础。     

The Detection of Hamster Connexins: A Comparison of Expression Profiles with Wild-Type Mouse and the Cancer-Prone Min Mouse

The open reading frames of 17 connexins from Syrian hamster (using tissues) and 16 connexins from the Chinese hamster cell line V79, were fully (Cx30, Cx31, Cx37, Cx43 and Cx45) or partially sequenced. We have also detected, and partially sequenced, seven rat connexins that previously were unavailable. The expression of connexin genes was examined in some hamster organs and cultured hamster cells, and compared with wild-type mouse and the cancer-prone Min mouse. Although the expression patterns were similar for most organs and connexins in hamster and mouse, there were also some prominent differences (Cx29 and 30.3 in testis; Cx31.1 and 32 in eye; Cx46 in brain, kidney and testis; Cx47 in kidney). This suggests that some connexins have species-specific expression profiles. In contrast, there were minimal differences in expression profiles between wild type and Min mice. Species-specific expression profiles should be considered in attempts to make animal models of human connexin-associated diseases.

Effects of Luteolin on Human Breast Cancer Using Gene Expression Array: Inferring Novel Genes

Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) is often used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of cancer; however, the downstream regulatory genes and signaling pathways mediating its effects on breast cancer remain unclear. The present study aimed to explore the effects of luteolin, the main biologically active compound of T. officinale, on gene expression profiles in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The results revealed that luteolin effectively inhibited the proliferation and motility of the MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. The mRNA expression profiles were determined using gene expression array analysis and analyzed using a bioinformatics approach. A total of 41 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in the luteolin-treated MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. A Gene Ontology analysis revealed that the DEGs, including AP2B1, APP, GPNMB and DLST, mainly functioned as oncogenes. The human protein atlas database also found that AP2B1, APP, GPNMB and DLST were highly expressed in breast cancer and that AP2B1 (cut-off value, 75%) was significantly associated with survival rate (p = 0.044). In addition, a Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis revealed that the DEGs were involved in T-cell leukemia virus 1 infection and differentiation. On the whole, the findings of the present study provide a scientific basis that may be used to evaluate the potential benefits of luteolin in human breast cancer. Further studies are required, however, to fully elucidate the role of the related molecular pathways.
