Numerical classification of 280 strains of slowly growing mycobacteria. Proposal of Mycobacterium tuberculosis series, Mycobacterium avium series, and Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum series

Numerical classification of 280 strains of slowly growing mycobacteria was carried out by testing each strain for 76 characters. The following fourteen clusters were observed: 1. M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti; 2. M. haemophilum; 3. M. ulcerans; 4. M. xenopi; 5. M. kansasii; 6. M. szulgai; 7. M. gordonae; 8. M gastri; 9. M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. scrofulaceum, and M. asiaticum; 10. M. marinum; 11. M. simiae; 12. M. nonchromogenicum, "M. novum," M. terrae, and M. triviale; 13 M. malmoense; 14. M. shimoidei. The clusters composed of M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti, of M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. scrofulaceum, and M. asiaticum, and of M. nonchromogenicum, "M. novum," M. terrae, and M. triviale appeared to be reduced to a single species each. The names having priority for each species should be M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M nonchromogenicum, respectively. However, the clusters may, in practice, be called the M. tuberculosis series (complex), the M. avium series (complex), and the M. nonchromogenicum series (complex). The type species of these series are M. tuberculosis, M. avium, and M. nonchromogenicum, respectively. These series were characterized in this study.     

Modulation of macrophage subtypes by IRF5 determines osteoclastogenic potential

Bone-resorbing osteoclasts are differentiated from macrophages (MΦ) by M-CSF and RANKL. MΦ can be mainly classified into M1 and M2 MΦ, which are proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory, respectively, but little is known about their osteoclastogenic potential. Here, we investigated the osteoclastogenic potential of MΦ subtypes. When the two MΦ subtypes were differentiated into osteoclasts using M-CSF and RANKL, M2 MΦ more potently differentiated into osteoclasts than M1 MΦ. M2 MΦ generated with IL-4 or IL-10 also showed enhanced osteoclast differentiation compared with M1 MΦ induced by IFN-γ and lipopolysaccharide. In addition, robust bone-resorptive capacity and giant actin rings, which are features of mature osteoclasts, were observed in M2, but not M1 MΦ, under the osteoclast differentiation condition. Osteoclast differentiation was significantly increased in CD206⁺ M2 MΦ but not in CD86⁺ M1 MΦ. Compared with M1 MΦ, c-Fms and RANK were highly expressed in M2 MΦ. Enhanced osteoclastogenesis of M2 MΦ was mediated through sustained ERK activation, followed by efficient c-Fos and NFATc1 induction. Notably, the osteoclastogenic potential of M1 MΦ converted into M2 MΦ by exposure to M-CSF was higher than that of M2 MΦ converted into M1 MΦ by exposure to GM-CSF. Silencing IRF5, which is responsible for M1 MΦ polarization, increased osteoclast differentiation by enhancing c-Fms expression and activation of ERK, c-Fos, CREB, and NFATc1, which was inhibited by overexpression of IRF5. Collectively, M2 MΦ are suggested to be more efficient osteoclast precursors than M1 MΦ because of the attenuated expression of IRF5.

基于毛髓质指数探讨甘肃鼢鼠、高原鼢鼠、秦岭鼢鼠的分类地位

目前甘肃鼢鼠Myospalax cansus、高原鼢鼠 M.baileyi、秦岭鼢鼠M.rufescens的分类地位一直存有争议,多涉及到与中华鼢鼠M.fontanierii的分类关系.本文分别从成体甘肃鼢鼠、高原鼢鼠、秦岭鼢鼠、中华鼢鼠标本的胡须、头部、背部、腹部、前肢取毛样,经清洗和处理后,在倒置显微镜下观察,用目镜测微尺分别测量和计算其5个部位毛发的毛髓质指数.结果表明:甘肃鼢鼠与中华鼢鼠除胡须髓质指数无显著性差异外,其它部位及各部位综合均有显著差异.高原鼢鼠与秦岭鼢鼠除前肢毛髓质指数无显著性差异外,其它部位及各部位综合均有显著差异;与中华鼢鼠除前肢毛髓质指数无显著差异,其它部位及各部位综合均有显著差异.秦岭鼢鼠除与甘肃鼢鼠的腹部及与中华鼢鼠、高原鼢鼠的前肢毛髓质指数无显著差异外,与其它鼢鼠其余部位及各部位综合均有显著性差异.综合考虑,本研究结果支持甘肃鼢鼠、高原鼢鼠、秦岭鼢鼠各自独立为种的观点.     

PCR with subsequent sequencing of the 16S gene rRNA in species identification of mycobacteria of the non-tuberculosis complex

One hundred of mycobacterium cultures were assayed by the method of PCR with subsequent sequencing of the 16S rRNA region. The below mycobacterium species were identified: M. tuberculosis complex (n = 55), M. avium (n = 17), M. intracellulare (n = 4), M. scrofaleceum (n = 2), M. kansasii - M. gastri (n = 3), M. gordonae (n = 3), M. ulcerans - M. marinum (n = 1), M. smegmatis (m = 2), M. fortuitum (n = 11), M. peregrinum (n = 1) and M. chelonae - M. abscessus (n = 1). The method enabled the differentiation of species M. avium from M. intracellulare and M. peregrinum from M. fortuitum, which could not be differentiated by using the classic biochemical and bacteriological methods. Genetic heterogeneity of the mycobacterium strains of M. avium, M. fortuitum and M. gordonae was also established by PCR plus sequencing of the 16S rRNA region.     

Revision of the subgenus Udamochiras of Melaloncha bee-killing flies (Diptera: Phoridae: Metopininae)

The genus Melaloncha Brues is defined and groundplan character states established based on outgroup comparison with Phalacrotophora Enderlein and Melittophora Brues. Major groupings within Melaloncha are recognized, and two subgenera are established: Udamochiras Enderlein (type species M. colossia (Enderlein)) and Melaloncha s.s. (type species M. pulchella Brues). Subgenus Udamochiras is revised and 42 species are recognized, including the following 33 new to science: M. anaticula , M. angustifrons , M. apicula , M. aprica , M. basella , M. biseta , M. brevicarina , M. carinata , M. compressicauda , M. exigua , M. falcata , M. flavilata , M. hamata , M. hansoni , M. horologia , M. individa , M. lobata , M. maculifrons , M. parkeri , M. paxilla , M. premordica , M. rhampha , M. rhypopoda , M. rostrata , M. sinuosa , M. spatula , M. spicula , M. triangularis , M. trua , M. valeria , M. vargasi , M. villosa , M. woodi .

Occurrence of RD9 region and 500 bp fragment among clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis

The present investigation dealt with the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis by RD9 region and 500 bp fragment PCR assays. Eight M. tuberculosis and 5 M. bovis characterized and identified from 40 human sputum and 41 bovine lung specimens and 20 M. tuberculosis and 9 M. bovis strains maintained at Mycobacteria Laboratory, Indian Veterinary Research Institute were included in this study. In this way, 28 M. tuberculosis and 14 M. bovis strains and, for comparison and control purpose, M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. bovis BCG, M. canetti, M. smegmatis, M. phlei, M. chelonae, M. kansasii, M. xenopi and M. avium were subjected to RD9 and 500 bp amplification by PCR. All M. tuberculosis strains, M. tuberculosis H37 Rv and M. canetti yielded a product of 333 bp which showed presence of RD9 region in these strains, whereas all M. bovis yielded a product of 206 bp with RD9 PCR assay. There was no ampli-fication product found in M. bovis BCG, M. xenopi, M. smegmatis, M. phlei, M. chelonae, M. kansasii, and M. avium. PCR based on 500 bp fragment showed a product of 500 bp in all M. bovis strains and M. bovis BCG. There was no amplification product of 500 bp found in M. canetti, M. smegmatis, M. phlei, M. chelonae, M. avium, M. kansasii, M. xenopi and was absent in all M. tuberculosis strains. The PCR assay results correlated 100% with the culture and biochemical results of the isolates. Our study suggested that PCR based on RD9 and 500 bp may effectively identify two closely related species of M. tuberculosis and M. bovis.     

Mechanisms of immune activation of human immunodeficiency virus in monocytes/macrophages.

Monocytes/macrophages (M/M) are the major host of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in solid tissues. However, blood monocytes are nonpermissive for HIV infection, indicating that M/M activation or differentiation is necessary for HIV replication. Since M/M are activated during immune responses, we investigated the effect of T-cell activation on HIV expression in M/M derived from peripheral blood of HIV-infected individuals. Previously, we reported that coculture of monocytes from HIV-infected donors with T cells and mitogens resulted in M/M differentiation and HIV expression. Production of HIV by M/M from infected donors required direct contact between monocytes and T cells (for the first 24 h), and the response to alloantigens, but not mitogens, was restricted to HLA-DR. In this study, we found that HIV was more readily recovered from M/M of asymptomatic HIV seropositive donors (69%) than from M/M of symptomatic donors (57%). Viral antigens (e.g., inactivated herpes simplex virus) could initiate the immune response and HIV expression. The ability of noninfected T cells to activate HIV expression in M/M and observations that treatments of M/M with antibodies to deplete T cells did not reduce HIV expression suggested that the monocytes were endogenously infected. To define the aspects of immune activation specifically involved in initiating HIV expression in M/M, interactions of M/M and T cells and participation of cytokines were investigated. The T cell which activated M/M was CD4+ CD8-. Fixed allogeneic cells are known to induce T-cell activation but were not able to serve as antigen for M/M differentiation, suggesting that M/M may need to function as antigen-presenting cells to receive the signal to differentiate and express HIV. Blocking of M/M-T-cell interaction with antibodies directed against LFA-1 or interleukin-1 prevented HIV expression. However, inhibition of later stages of T-cell activation, such as blocking of interleukin-2 receptors, did not diminish HIV expression in M/M. Consistent with the requirement for cell-cell contact between M/M and T cells, a variety of cytokines were unable to initiate HIV replication in M/M. The ability of T cells to induce cellular differentiation and HIV replication in M/M in vitro suggests that initiation of an immune response to an antigen, such as an opportunistic pathogen, could be a mechanism by which HIV disseminates to tissues in vivo.
