The role of metallothionein (MT) in free radical regulation and scavenging was investigated using two fish cell lines, the rainbow trout gonadal (RTG-2) cell line and the chinook salmon embryonic (CHSE-214) cell line. Exposure of RTG-2 cells to H(2)O(2) resulted in upregulation of both MT mRNA and MT protein and was also demonstrated by immunocytochemistry, confirming that MT was regulated by free radicals. We then compared the H(2)O(2) resistance in RTG-2 and CHSE-214 cells following metal treatment with Zn or Cd to induce MT. Comparison of survival of control cells and metal-exposed cells showed that metal treatment, which induced MT, significantly raised the H(2)O(2) tolerance in a dose-dependent manner in RTG-2 cells, while no increased H(2)O(2) resistance was observed in CHSE-214 cells. Transient over-expression of MT in CHSE-214: 59 cells also resulted in a dose-dependent increase in resistance to H(2)O(2) exposure. The raised resistance against H(2)O(2) in metal treated RTG-2 cells as well as transfected CHSE-214: 59 cells strongly demonstrate that MT is involved in the protection against H(2)O(2) and suggest a physiologically important function for MT when cells or whole organisms are exposed to oxidative stress.  相似文献

Eleven European National Reference Laboratories participated in an inter-laboratory comparison of the susceptibility of 5 selected cell lines to 3 fish pathogenic viruses. The test included viral hemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV); infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), and the cell lines derived from bluegill fry (BF-2), chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214), epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC), fathead minnow (FHM) and rainbow trout gonad (RTG-2). The results showed that for isolation of VHSV, BF-2 and RTG-2 cells performed equally well and had higher sensitivity compared to the other cell lines. For IHNV, EPC and FHM cells gave the best results, and for IPNV it was BF-2 and CHSE-214 cells. FHM cells showed the largest variability among laboratories, whereas EPC was the cell line showing the smallest variability.  相似文献

The rainbow trout macrophage cell line RTS11 was found to be considerably more sensitive than rainbow trout fibroblast (RTG-2) and Chinook salmon epithelial (CHSE-214) cell lines to killing by macromolecular synthesis inhibitors, actinomycin D (AMD) and cycloheximide (CHX), a synthetic double stranded RNA (dsRNA), polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly IC), and combinations of poly IC with AMD or CHX. Exposures of 24-30 h to AMD or CHX alone killed RTS11, but not CHSE-214 and RTG-2, in basal medium, L-15, with or without fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplementation. A two-week exposure to poly IC killed RTS11 in L-15, whereas RTG-2 and CHSE-214 remained viable. At concentrations that caused very little or no cell death, CHX or AMD pretreatments or co-treatments sensitized RTS11 to poly IC, causing death within 30 h. In all cases death was by apoptosis as judged by two criteria. H33258 staining revealed a fragmented nuclear morphology, and genomic degradation into oligonucleosomal fragments was seen with agarose gel electrophoresis. With AMD- or CHX-induced death, killing seemed caspase-independent as the pan caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-fmk, failed to block killing. By contrast, z-VAD-fmk almost completely abrogated killing by co-treatments of poly IC and low concentrations of AMD or CHX, suggesting caspase dependence. Killing by both types of treatments was blocked by 2 aminopurine (2-AP), which suggests the involvement of dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR). The sensitizing of RTS11 to poly IC killing by AMD or CHX could be explained by a decrease in the level of a short-lived anti-apoptotic protein(s) and/or by the triggering of a ribotoxic stress.  相似文献

Growth of Fish Cell Lines on Microcarriers   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
Microcarrier beads were evaluated as substrates for the propagation of five anchorage-dependent fish cell lines. Growth of rainbow trout gonad (RTG-2) and Atlantic salmon cells was limited on microcarriers maintained in suspension. However, stationary microcarriers were suitable substrates for the growth of RTG-2, AS, Chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214), and fathead minnow cells. Cell yields ranged from 2 × 106 to 2.9 × 106 cells per ml, representing 7- to 10-fold increases over the initial cell concentrations. The yield of new RTG-2 cells per unit volume of growth medium was 2.8 times greater in microcarrier cultures than in standard monolayer cultures. Northern pike cells failed to grow on microcarriers. Yields of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus propagated in microcarrier cultures of RTG-2 cells were more than twice the yields in standard monolayer cultures. The greater economy of microcarrier cultures in terms of growth vessel and medium requirements holds great promise for the large-scale production of anchorage-dependent fish cell cultures and fish viruses.  相似文献

Epithelial (CHSE-214), fibroblast (RTG-2) and macrophage (RTS11) cell lines from Chinook salmon and rainbow trout were tested for their sensitivity to gliotoxin, a fungal metabolite. Gliotoxin treatment for 6 or 24 h caused cell viability to decrease in a dose-dependent manner, with effective concentrations (EC50s) being similar for the three cell lines but varying with exposure time. Under some exposure conditions, hallmarks of apoptosis were detected. Apoptosis was evaluated by the appearance of fragmented nuclei upon H33258 staining and of genomic DNA laddering into 180 bp oligomers. Gliotoxin induced cell detachment in RTG-2 and CHSE-214 cultures, under some conditions. These were the only cultures of these two cell lines in which apoptosis was detected, and apoptotic cells appeared more frequent in the detached population. At the highest concentration, 15 microM, the cells died by an alternative mode, likely necrosis. By contrast, in RTS11 cultures cell detachment was not observed, and apoptosis occurred over a wider concentration range, even 15 microM, reaching levels of over 90%. The preferential death by necrosis for epithelial cells (CHSE-214) and by apoptosis for macrophages (RTS11) could be a beneficial host response to gliotoxin-producing fungi, leading respectively to the development and then resolution of inflammation.  相似文献

A transgenic cell line for the detection of salmon interferons (IFNs) has been established. It is based on a CHSE-214 cell line containing a reporter construct expressing firefly luciferase under the control of the rainbow trout promoter for the IFN-induced Mx1 gene. This cell line, named CHSE-Mx10, showed IFN-induced luciferase expression after more than 80 passages, confirming the stability of this cell line. Interestingly, the Mx promoter was shown to respond to both salmon IFN-alpha/beta and trout IFN-gamma in a dose-dependent manner, while there was no response to TNF-alpha and IL-1beta. IFN-alpha/beta activity could be measured at a range of 9-150 U/ml, and IFN-gamma showed activity between 10 and 100 ng/ml. The reproducibility of both responses was good. The CHSE-Mx10 reporter system constitutes a versatile tool to study the induction and regulation of IFN signaling in teleost fish. A preliminary study presented herein suggests that both infectious pancreas necrosis virus (IPNV) and salmon pancreas disease virus (SPDV) may block activation of the Mx promoter in CHSE-Mx10 stimulated with IFN-alpha/beta.  相似文献

The glutamine requirement for thein vitro proliferation of fish cells was investigated with cell lines from four different species and three tissues: goldfish skin (GFSk-S1), Chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214), and raibow trout liver (RTL-W1) and spleen (RTSp-W1). With a supplement of fetal bovine serum, the basal medium, Leibovitz's L-15, without glutamine supported the proliferation of all four cell lines as well, or nearly as well, as L-15 with 2 mM glutamine. This was true over short term assays of two to four weeks and for continuous propagation. CHSE-214 also grew as well with or without 2 mM glutamine in Minimum Essential Medium with fetal bovine serum. However, when the supplement was dialyzed fetal bovine serum, CHSE-214 grew much better in L-15 without glutamine. Therefore, glutamine was not required for growth in L-15, and in fact, was inhibitory in the absence of the dialyzable fraction of serum. By contrast, glutamine appeared to be important for growth in Minimum Essential Medium. When the supplement was dialyzed fetal bovine serum, CHSE-214 grew much better in Minimum Essential Medium with 2 mM glutamine. These results suggest that the glutamine requirement for thein vitro proliferation of fish cells is conditional and depends on the basal medium and serum supplement.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - CHSE-214 Chinook samon embryo cell line - dFBS dialyzed fetal bovine serum - FBS fetal bovine serum - GFSk-S1 goldfish skin cell line - GS glutamine synthetase - L-15 Leibovitz's L-15 media - L929 mouse fibroblast cell line - MEM minimum essential medium Eagle - PBS phosphate buffered saline - RTL-W1 rainbow trout liver cell line - RTSp-W1 rainbow trout spleen cell line  相似文献

The Chinook salmon embryo cell line, CHSE-214, grew well in fetal bovine serum (FBS) but poorly in dialyzed (d) FBS. Purines restored most but not all growth-promoting activity to dFBS, which suggests that purines account for a large portion of the dialyzable fraction's growth-promoting activity. CHSE-214 died in newborn calf serum (NCS) but grew slightly in dNCS, which suggests that the dialyzable fraction of NCS contains a toxic component(s). Little or no proliferation occurred in calf serum (CS); some took place in horse serum (HS). Porcine serum (PS) was very toxic. In all these sera except PS and HS, the purine nucleoside, inosine, significantly enhanced growth, whereas the pyrimidine nucleoside, uridine, was without effect. The other purines, hypoxanthine, adenine, adenosine and guanosine also stimulated proliferation but not as well as inosine. Inosine also enhanced the growth of the rainbow trout gonadal cell line, RTG-2. Although their morphology underwent minor alterations in medium with inosine, CHSE-214 cells could be grown indefinitely in CS and inosine as effectively as in the more expensive FBS.  相似文献

Ten microsatellite loci (Omy27DU,Omy325(A3)UoG, OmyFGT5TUF,OmyFGT14TUF, OmyFGT15TUF,OmyFGT23TUF, Omy77DU,Ssa20.19NUIG, Ots1BML, andOne18ASC) were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction to create genetic profiles for nine cell lines (RTG-2, RTH-149,RTL-W1,RTgill-W1, RTS-11, RTS-34st, RTP-2, RTP-91E and RTP-91F) from rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss) and one cell line (CHSE-214) from Chinook salmon (O. tschawytscha). A cell line (PHL) from anon-salmonid, the Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallasi), was included as a control. The ten loci clearly revealed the uniqueness of each cell line, except for two cell lines (RTP-91E andRTP-91F) from the same fish. RTP-91E and RTP-91F were identical at all loci except Ssa20.19NUIG. The most useful locus for demonstrating uniqueness was Ots1BML. The information was used to demonstrate that an uncharacterized rainbow trout cell line (Clone 1A)was in fact CHSE-214, illustrating the usefulness of multiplexed microsatellites for the creation of genetic profiles for salmonid cell lines and for the testing of cell line cross-contamination. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

We here describe an assay for the detection of interferon-like activity in Atlantic salmon based on the transient transfection of chinook salmon embryo cells (CHSE-214 cells) with a rainbow trout Mx1 promoter linked to a luciferase reporter. A beta-galactosidase gene under the control of a constitutively expressed beta-actin promoter was used as a transfection standard, and luciferase and beta gal expression were measured by a commercially available kit. Interferon containing supernatants from poly I:C- or CpG-stimulated leucocytes added to transfected CHSE-cells induced high luciferase expression (>60-fold induction compared to supernatants from non-stimulated cells). There was no response to supernatants from LPS- and ConA/PMA-stimulated leucocytes, demonstrating the specificity for type I interferon-like activity. Duplicate samples analysed using a cell protection assay for detection of antiviral activity correlated well with levels obtained by the Mx1 promoter reporter gene assay (R2=0.97), confirming the reporter assay as a reliable substitute for the standard antiviral assay. The Mx reporter gene assay also has advantages in terms of sensitivity, high dynamic range and reliability over the conventional cell protection assay.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of Cd and Zn exposure of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) on (a) hepatic glutathione (GSH) levels; and (b) hepatic and branchial metallothionein (MT) mRNA expression. Juvenile rainbow trout were exposed to waterborne Cd (nominal concentrations: 1.5 or 10 microg Cd l(-1)), Zn (150 or 1000 microg Zn l(-1)) or Cd/Zn mixtures (1.5 microg Cd l(-1) with 200 microg Zn l(-1) or 10 microg Cd l(-1) with 1000 microg Zn l(-1)). After 14 and 28 days of treatment, hepatic concentrations of total glutathione, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and cysteine were determined by means of fluorometric high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Branchial and hepatic expression of MT mRNA was measured by means of semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Exposure of trout to Zn did not result in significantly elevated tissue levels of Zn, whereas Cd accumulation factors changed significantly with time and concentration. Despite of the absence of Zn accumulation, hepatic GSH but not MT mRNA levels were significantly altered in Zn-exposed fish. Cd, on the contrary, affected mainly the MT response but not GSH. Also tissue specific differences in the regulation of the two thiol pools were expressed. The thiol response after exposure to metal mixtures could not be explained by simple addition of the effects of the individual metals. The results indicate that cellular thiol pools show different reaction patterns with respect to specific metals and metal mixtures. Under conditions of long-term, low dose metal exposure, the function of GSH appears to go beyond that of a transitory, first line defense.  相似文献

Two rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Mx cDNAs were cloned by using RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) PCR and were designated RBTMx2 and RBTMx3. The deduced RBTMx2 and RBTMx3 proteins were 636 and 623 amino acids in length with molecular masses of 72 and 70.8 kDa, respectively. These proteins, along with the previously described RBTMx1 protein (G. D. Trobridge and J. A. Leong, J. Interferon Cytokine Res. 15:691-702, 1995), have between 88.7 and 96.6% identity at the amino acid level. All three proteins contain the tripartite GTP binding domain and leucine zipper motif common to Mx proteins. A monospecific polyclonal antiserum to an Escherichia coli-expressed fragment of RBTMx3 was generated, and that reagent was found to react with all three rainbow trout Mx proteins. Subsequently, endogenous Mx production in RTG-2 cells induced with poly(IC) double-stranded RNA was detected by immunoblot analysis. The cellular localization of the rainbow trout proteins was determined by transient expression of the RBTMx cDNAs in CHSE-214 (chinook salmon embryo) cells. A single-cell transient-transfection assay was used to examine the ability of each Mx cDNA clone to inhibit replication of the fish rhabdovirus infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). No significant inhibition in the accumulation of the IHNV nucleoprotein was observed in cells expressing either trout Mx1, Mx2, or Mx3 in transiently transfected cells.  相似文献

An interferon (IFN)-γ responsive stable cell line RTG-3F7 has been developed for rainbow trout by modifying the RTG-2 cell line through transfection with a plasmid construct (pGL4.14[luc2/hygro]-PrTAP2) containing a promoter element from the IFN-γ responsive gene TAP2 linked to a luciferase reporter gene and a hygromycin resistance gene. Following transfection single clones were selected in 96 well plates using hygromycin B, and those showing specific activation after rIFN-γ stimulation were maintained. Five clones that showed the highest reporter activity to rIFN-γ were incubated with different stimuli to examine specificity. No significant induction of luciferase was observed following exposure to recombinant type I IFN, LPS, PHA or poly I:C. The cell line was responsive to rIFN-γ at concentrations between 150 pg and 20 ng ml?1. Supernatants of primary cultures of head kidney leucocytes stimulated with PHA, known to induce IFN-γ gene expression, were also used to assess the reporter activity of the stable cell line. A dose-dependent induction of the promoter activity was observed with these supernatants indicating the presence of IFN-γ. These results indicate that the stable cell line RTG-3F7 is an excellent tool for monitoring the presence of trout IFN-γ in biological samples, and in addition, enables the study of intracellular signalling pathways of IFNs, their receptor interactions, and other closely related signalling networks.  相似文献

Surveys of marine birnavirus (MABV) were undertaken in cultured olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus from the south and west coastal areas and Jeju in Korea during the period January 1999 to April 2007. MABV was detected in all seasons from the fry, juveniles and adult fish from the areas examined. Evident cytopathic effects of the virus including rounding and cell lysis were observed in chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214) and rainbow trout gonad (RTG-2) cells, but not in fathead minnow (FHM) and epithelial papilloma of carp (EPC) cells. Nucleotide sequences of the VP2/NS junction region of the Korean isolates showed 97.8% ~ 100% similarity, and they belonged to the same genogroup. Cross neutralization tests with serotype-specific rabbit antisera against MABV strains exhibited a close antigenic relationships between strains, and were distinct from infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) strains. Coinfection of MABV with bacteria (Streptococcus iniae, Vibrio spp.) and viruses (nervous necrosis virus, lymphocystis disease virus, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus) was observed.  相似文献

During routine sampling and testing, as part of a systematic surveillance program (the Tasmanian Salmonid Health Surveillance Program), an aquatic birnavirus was isolated from 'pin-head' (fish exhibiting deficient acclimatisation on transfer to saltwater) Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, approximately 18 mo old, farmed in net-pens located in Macquarie Harbour on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia. The isolate grows readily in a range of fish cell lines including CHSE-214, RTG-2 and BF-2 and is neutralised by a pan-specific rabbit antiserum raised against infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) Ab strain and by a commercial pan-specific IPNV-neutralising monoclonal antibody. Presence of the virus was not associated with gross clinical signs. Histopathological examination revealed a range of lesions particularly in pancreatic tissue. The virus was localised in pancreas sections by immunoperoxidase staining using the polyclonal antiserum and by electron microscopy. Examination by electron microscopy demonstrated that the virus isolated in cell culture (1) belongs to the family Birnaviridae, genus Aquabirnaviridae; (2) was ultrastructurally and antigenically similar to virus identified in the index fish; (3) is related to IPNV. Western blot analysis using the polyclonal rabbit antiserum confirmed the cross-reactions between various aquatic birnavirus isolates. In addition, PCR analysis of isolated viral nucleic acid from the index case indicated that the virus is more closely related to IPNV fr21 and N1 isolates than to other birnavirus isolates available for comparison. Sampling of other fish species within Macquarie Harbour has demonstrated that the virus is present in several other species of fish including farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, wild flounder Rhombosolea tapirina, cod Pseudophycis sp., spiked dogfish Squalus megalops and ling Genypterus blacodes.  相似文献

Perciforms have three forms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in their brain. All three GnRHs are potent secretogogues for luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary. The pivotal role of GnRH-R-GnRH interactions in reproductive homeostasis is well established; however, there is a paucity of information on how a GnRH-R responds to the three endogenous GnRH forms in a perciform species. In this study, a recombinant pituitary GnRH-R from striped bass (stb) was expressed in a mammalian cell line (COS-7) and a fish cell line (CHSE-214). Activation of the signaling pathways was monitored by reporter gene (luciferase) based assays, which were specific for cAMP-PKA or Ca 2+/calmodulin kinase (activated via c-fos promoter) signaling pathways. The stbGnRH-R expressed in two different cell lines triggered different downstream signaling in response to the treatments with chicken (c) GnRH II. Interestingly, when endogenous GnRHs were used in combinations, the luciferase activity was significantly attenuated in transfected CHSE-214 cells.  相似文献

The metallothionein (MT) gene expression profile was followed in rainbow trout during early embryo development and in liver and gonads during the period of sexual maturation. The hepatic MT mRNA levels increase at the end of sexual maturation in both male and female rainbow trout. Although both isoforms of MT mRNA accumulate in the liver, there is a preferential increase in MT-A in the female liver. Concomitantly with this increase in MT there is a redistribution of zinc and copper to MT. In the juvenile female there is an abundance of MT mRNA in the ovaries. This is correlated to high levels of zinc in the MT fraction upon Sephadex G-75 chromatography. During ovary development the MT mRNA levels and the MT-bound zinc levels drop, with an increase in zinc being bound to high-molecular-mass proteins. At ovulation most of the zinc is found in the membrane portion upon centrifugation. In contrast to the ovaries, there are no apparent changes in either trace metal distribution or MT mRNA levels during testis development. In the developing embryo there is an increase in MT-bound copper at gastrulation. This is accompanied by an increase in both isoforms of MT mRNA. At hatch both the copper and zinc levels increase in the MT fraction, with a concomitant increase in mainly MT-A mRNA. These findings indicate that the variations in MT mRNA levels during development are closely associated with metal regulation.  相似文献

Onmy-UBA is a polymorphic classical major histocompatibility (MHC) class I locus in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A common allomorph is Onmy-UBA*501, which has been detected in several wildtype strains, in the clonal homozygous rainbow trout C25 and, in the current study, in the rainbow trout gonad cell line RTG-2. The extracellular domain of this allomorph was expressed in E. coli and a murine monoclonal antibody designated H9 was generated against the recombinant protein. In Western blot analysis Mab H9 specifically recognised an n-glycosylated protein of 45 kDa in leucocytes and erythrocytes of C25 fish and in RTG-2 cells. The level of Onmy-UBA*501 expression in erythrocytes was very low. Immunocytochemistry of isolated cells indicated expression in lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, erythrocytes, RTG-2 cells and Onmy-UBA *501 transfected CHO cells, but not in untransfected CHO cells. Immunohistochemistry using frozen sections of C25 fish indicated that Onmy-UBA*501 expression is strong in the lymphoid organs (thymus, head kidney and spleen) and in the epithelia and endothelia of several organs. No significant expression was observed in muscle fibres, hepatocytes or neurons. These observations demonstrate that in jawed fish, the lowest phylogenetic group possessing an MHC system, the classical MHC class I molecules are expressed in similar cell types as in higher vertebrates.  相似文献
