感染HaSNPV棉铃虫幼虫的组织病理和免疫组化研究

本文报道了棉铃虫单核衣壳核多角体病毒(Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus,HaSNPV)感染棉铃虫幼虫的病理时相及HaSNPV多角体蛋白在幼虫组织中表达的免疫组化研究.以5×103PFU的HaSNPV出芽病毒粒子(BV)注射4龄初的棉铃虫幼虫,石蜡切片的H.E染色表明,在感染后24h,病理变化不明显;48h后脂肪体、气管组织的细胞核开始肿大,细胞开始变形;72h后脂肪体、气管、真皮细胞核肿大十分明显,组织结构松散;但中肠和肌肉组织未见明显病变;96h后,脂肪体、气管、真皮组织结构完全被破坏,肌肉组织变疏松.免疫组化结果表明,感染后24h,未能检测到多角体蛋白在幼虫组织中的表达;感染后48h,多角体蛋白可在部分脂肪体、气管组织、血细胞和真皮组织的细胞核中表达;72h后,被感染的脂肪体、气管组织、和真皮组织的细胞数比48h多; 96h后,多角体蛋白可以在脂肪体、气管、真皮组织中大量表达,48h到96h间,被感染的血细胞数目基本不变,中肠组织和肌肉都未检测到多角体蛋白的表达;幼虫死亡后,可在中肠上皮细胞的基底膜间隙中检测到多角体蛋白的表达,肌肉组织中未见表达信号,其它组织全部被感染并且组织结构被破坏, H.E的结果与免疫组化的结果基本相符.     

HaNPV在宿主内的复制及其对宿主蛋白质代谢的影响

对棉铃虫Helicoverpaarmigera的中肠、血淋巴及脂肪体进行SDS-PAGE蛋白质分析表明：感染早期,HaNPV对棉铃虫的蛋白质合成有刺激作用,晚期则表现出抑制作用。感染96 h和120 h脂肪体有较高水平的多角体蛋白合成。电镜观察表明：①HaNPV感染棉铃虫除病毒在中肠复制后经出芽进入血腔感染脂肪体等组织外,还可能存在病毒粒子直接经中肠进入血腔而感染脂肪体这样的途径;②中肠与血腔之间存在屏障结构;③中肠不仅是一次感染时病毒粒子复制的场所,它完全可能被病毒粒子二次感染。在中肠细胞中没有发现多角体的形成。     

一种新颖的棉铃虫单闰包埋核多角体病毒表达系统

将含有低拷贝数的mini-F replicon,一个卡那霉素抗性基因和一个lacZα基因8.6kb的DNA片段经同源重组置换到棉铃虫核型多角体病毒基因组中的多角体蛋白基因内,构建了既能在E.coli内复制又可在昆虫细胞内复制形成完整的病毒粒子棉铃虫核型多角体病毒Bacmid(HaBacmid-HZ8)。另外将HaSNPV的多角体蛋白基因和P10启动子序列取代pFastBacDual质粒上的AcMNPV的多角体启动子序列和P10启动子序列,构建插入HaSNPV多角体蛋白基因和P10启动子序列的HapFastBacPhP10供体质粒。利用HapFast BacPhP10供体质粒将eGFP基因转位至HZ8的Tn7附着位点上。随后将含有eGFP基因的重组HZAml细胞内。转染5d后,细胞核内能形成典型的多角体,在萤光显微镜下观察到细胞内显示出强烈的绿色萤光。结果证明我们构建的HaBac to Bcac表达系统能有效的表达外源基因。     

中国棉铃虫单粒包埋核型多角体病毒多角体蛋白基因的序列分析

以AcMNPV的多角体蛋白基因为探针,定位了中国棉铃虫单粒包理核型多角体病毒（HaSNPV）的多用体蛋白基因。序列测定表明,HaSNPV的多角体蛋白基因编码区为738个核苷酸,编码246个氨基酸,预计蛋白质分子量为29kDa。同源性分析表明,HaSNPV与美洲棉铃虫单粒包理核型多角体病毒（HzSNPV）具有最高的同源性,在整个阅读框架中只有4个碱基的差异,其中第179位碱基的变化导致唯一的氨基酸变化,这种变化并未导致其二级结构的改变。此外,两种病毒该基因的启动子结构也完全一样。HaSNPV与其它的SNPV和MNPV的同源性明显要低。结果预示HaSNPV与HzSNPV可能为同种病毒的不同变种。     

棉铃虫单粒包埋型核型多角体病毒(HaSNPV)复制的研究——Ⅰ.细胞病理学和病毒复制的一些特性

本文报道了棉铃虫单粒包埋型核型多角体病毒(Heliothis armigera single nucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus, HaSNPV)在棉铃虫及棉铃虫蛹卵巢细胞系SFE-HA-8212中的复制。HaSNPV的复制和其他的核型多角体病毒大体相符,复制过程也可分为形成出芽型病毒与形成包埋型病毒这两个时相。研究了影响病毒在细胞中复制的诸因素,包括病毒感染复数、细胞接种密度和细胞生长阶段等。在适宜的条件下平均每细胞可生产出芽型病毒14PFU,多角体24个。生成的病毒具有感染力。这些表明SFE-HA-8212细胞可供HaSNPV有效复制。同时,作为细胞群体该细胞系对HaSNPV感染的反应并非均一,其中有89.65±21.4％的感染细胞释放病毒,但仅有37.85±6.7％的细胞形成多角体。表明HaSNPV的感染并不一定导致形成多角体,在大部分感染细胞中病毒复制进行到产生病毒粒子就停止了。初步讨论了这种不均一性的原因。     

棉铃虫单粒包埋核型多角体病毒在细胞系中持续感染的建立和特性栽

棉铃虫单粒包埋核型多角体病毒(Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus,HaSNPV)能够在棉铃虫蛹卵巢细胞素SFE-HA-8212中有效复制,引起细胞解体死亡.通过培养HaSNPV感染后残存的细胞,建立了一株持续感染的细胞.该细胞在传代培养的6个月时间内(约25次传代),持续地释放有感染力的病毒粒子,培养液中病毒的效价多在104 TCID50/ml上下,同时有一小部分细胞(1%左右)中形成多角体,释放病毒的细胞占总细胞数的1.0%～3.8%.持续感染细胞的生长特性与原细胞系相比有一定的变化,对HaSNPV感染的敏感性有所降低.另一方面,持续感染细胞所释放的病毒对SFE-HA-8212及棉铃虫幼虫的感染力也有所降低.讨论了持续感染的可能机制.     

SeMNPV抑制HaSNPV诱导的Se-UCR细胞凋亡

在采用共感染和共转染的方法构建扩大杀虫范围的重组病毒的研究过程中发现棉铃虫单核衣壳核多角体病毒(Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus, HaSNPV)能诱导甜菜夜蛾细胞Se-UCR发生典型凋亡,但不能诱导另一株甜菜夜蛾细胞Se-301产生凋亡.以5 MOI的HaSNPV感染Se-UCR,在12h左右可以观测到少量细胞凋亡,24h能观察到明显的凋亡,凋亡细胞数量随时间不断增加,到72h基本上所有的细胞均发生凋亡,成为凋亡小体,基因组DNA片段化.同时发现HaSNPV诱导的甜菜夜蛾Se-UCR细胞凋亡能够被甜菜夜蛾多核衣壳核多角体病毒(Spodoptera exigua multicapsid nucleoplyhedrovirus, SeMNPV)所抑制, 进一步点杂交试验发现SeMNPV 和HaSNPV共同感染Se-UCR获得了HaSNPV在该细胞中的复制.     

杆状病毒的垂直传播及绿色荧光蛋白在棉铃虫幼虫中的表达

用转座穿梭系统构建了携带绿色荧光蛋白基因（gfp）的重组棉铃虫核型多角体病毒rHa-FGP,以其多角体添食感染棉铃虫3龄幼虫,室内饲养3代,各代均可见自然光下发绿色荧光的棉铃虫幼虫,其中子代不再重复感染。F₀、F₁、F₂代发绿色荧光的棉铃虫幼虫所占百分比分别为34%、20%、8%。提取虫体内的病毒多角体DNA,以PCR和斑点杂交鉴定表明,gfp不仅在亲代棉铃虫体内正常表达,而且在子代幼虫中表达,HaNPV通过卵实现了垂直传播。     

AcMNPV P35抑制HaSNPV诱导的Tn-Hi5细胞凋亡

苜蓿银纹夜蛾核多角体病毒(Autographa californica multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus,AcMNPV)能够抑制棉铃虫核多角体病毒(Helicoverpa armigera Nucleopoly-hedrovirus,HaSNPV)诱导的Tn-Hi5细胞凋亡,并能辅助HaSNPV在Tn-Hi5细胞中复制,产生具有感染能力的子代病毒.瞬时表达实验证明,在Tn-Hi5细胞中,p35具有明显抑制凋亡的能力,但是不能辅助HaSNPV在Tn-Hi5细胞中的复制;进一步构建超表达p35的重组病毒vHap35,发现vHap35能够抑制Tn-Hi5细胞凋亡,但是不能产生具有感染力的病毒粒子.电镜观察发现感染重组病毒的部分细胞中存在单粒包埋的病毒粒子(ODV).

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
