基因芯片筛选新疆维吾尔妇女宫颈癌差异表达基因

新疆南部维吾尔族聚居区是宫颈癌高发区. 本文旨在利用基因芯片技术筛选与维吾尔族妇女宫颈癌发生相关的基因. 首先,分别提取5例新疆维吾尔妇女宫颈癌和5例子宫肌瘤组织(对照)的mRNA,逆转录成cDNA,并用Cy3-dUTP标记子宫肌瘤组织的cDNA,用Cy5 dUTP标记宫颈癌组织的cDNA,制成芯片杂交探针.为筛选出宫颈癌组织中差异表达的基因,上述标记探针分别与含有20 000条人类基因的Affymetrix基因芯片进行杂交,杂交信号用GeneChip Scanner 3000扫描仪扫描,并用芯片图像分析软件(SAM software)分析扫描结果.筛选出的差异表达基因经GO(Gene Ontology)分析和KEGG（Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes）信号通路分析,确定其在宫颈癌中的作用.基因芯片筛选结果显示,在宫颈癌组织中发现2 758个差异表达基因,其中1 326个上调基因,1 432个下调基因.GO分析和KEGG信号通路分析表明,表达差异在两倍以上的基因涉及168个信号通路,包括细胞粘附分子、细胞周期以及MAPK和mTOR信号通路等.上述结果表明,基因芯片技术筛选出大量与宫颈癌发生相关的基因,其中表达差异显著的基因涉及细胞粘附分子、细胞周期和mTOR等信号通路.     

两种标记方法对60mer寡核苷酸芯片背景信号影响的初步分析

研究两种不同的样本标记方法对人全基因组高密度60mer寡核苷酸芯片背景信号的影响。收集5对患病与健康人外周血单个核细胞,分别提取总RNA后,采用限制性显示技术（restriction display,RD）进行样本双色（Cy3/Cy5）荧光标记,与5张Agilent 60mer高密度（22K）Human 1B寡核苷酸芯片进行杂交。芯片全部杂交点分3组：基因探针组、阳性对照组和阴性对照组。阳性对照采用荧光标记寡核苷酸直接掺入法进行标记。对全部杂交信号点的Cy3和Cy5背景信号值,用SPSS软件进行数据转换、正态性检验、方差齐性检验、变异系数分析和重复数据的方差分析。数据分析结果显示,Cy3 标记的背景信号值均高于 Cy5标记的背景信号值。重复测量数据的方差分析表明,在Cy3 和Cy5标记中,两种不同标记方法间的背景信号值的差异极显著（PCy3＜0.01, PCy5＜0.01）,且RD标记点的背景信号平均值低于荧光标记寡核苷酸直接掺入标记法标记的阳性对照点。RD标记方法是一种有用的低背景信号的高密度长链寡核苷酸芯片样本标记方法。     

一种标记cDNA芯片探针的新方法

探讨mRNA长片段反转录PCR技术(RT-LDPCR)在cDNA芯片微量探针标记和信号放大中的应用.首先提取BEP2D细胞的总RNA,然后用两种不同的方法进行标记,一种为RT-LDPCR,用荧光素Cy3-dCTP进行标记;另一种为传统的RNA反转录,用荧光素Cy5-dCTP进行标记.将两种方法标记好的探针等量混合后与含有440个点(44个基因)的cDNA芯片同时杂交,发现二者具有很高的一致性(0.5＜Cy3/Cy5＞2.0).由于RNA反转录法为cDNA芯片探针标记的传统方法,从而验证了RT-LDPCR用于cDNA芯片探针标记的可行性.RT-LDPCR具有对样品总RNA的需要量少和可对样品中信号进行放大的优点,特别适合于对材料来源受到限制的RNA进行标记.

芯片杂交中荧光标记样品定量与非定量的比较研究

比较在芯片杂交中,荧光标记样品定量与非定量对杂交结果的影响。其方法是,提取经As2O3作用K562细胞前后的总RNA,逆转录成cDNA第一链,并分别用Cy3／Cy5标记。标记后的样品再次定量或不定量,但均取相同体积上样与K562芯片杂交,用扫描仪扫描并分析。其结果,标记后样品定量与不定量杂交的结果都与理论推测一致,但以样品定量进行杂交的效果更好,标记样品杂交前再次定量的,分析发现2个基因表达下调;杂交前不定量仅取相同体积进行杂交的,发现6个基因片段表达下调,其中只有2个基因与细胞凋亡通路密切相关。认为在芯片的杂交检测中,对荧光标记样品杂交前再次定量可大大提高杂交结果的可靠性。

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.

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.
