This study was conducted to establish and characterize the clonal‐cell lines from Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii head‐kidney tissues and to evaluate its applicability as a research tool. From the culture of A. baerii head‐kidney derived cells, 10 cell lines were established first and then eight clonal‐cell lines were derived from clonal growth and colony expansion of two cell lines that showed significant high colony‐forming ability. All eight clonal‐cell lines were morphologically similar and grew stably under monolayer culture but their growth rates were significantly different. They possessed diploid DNA contents, expressed epithelial cell‐related genes and showed strong anchorage dependency to substrates. When a clonal‐cell line was transfected separately with three plasmid vectors including fluorescent reporter genes driven by cytomegalovirus, marine medaka Oryzias dancena β‐actin or A. baerii β‐actin promoter, the cell lines expressed fluorescent signals regardless of promoter types. The cells harbouring foreign genes could be expanded to stable cell lines under drug selection and then they additionally could form the extensively proliferating colonies at low‐density culture. Finally, the clonal‐cell lines showed the susceptibility to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV). Collectively, the clonal‐cell lines from A. baerii head kidney were established and these cell lines will be able to provide an excellent in vitro system for various biological studies in this fish species. 相似文献

An essential for respiration and viability (ERV1) homologue, 88R, was cloned and characterized from Rana grylio virus (RGV). Database searches found its homologues in all sequenced iridoviruses, and sequence alignment revealed a highly
conserved motif shared by all ERV1 family proteins: Cys-X-X-Cys. RT-PCR and western blot analysis revealed that 88R begins to transcribe and translate at 6 h postinfection (p.i.) and remains detectable at 48 h p.i. during RGV infection course.
Furthermore, using drug inhibition analysis by a de novo protein synthesis inhibitor and a viral DNA replication inhibitor,
RGV 88R was classified as a late (L) viral gene during the in vitro infection. 88R-EGFP fusion protein was observed in both the cytoplasm
and nucleus of pEGFP-N3-88R transfected EPC cells. Although result of immunofluorescence is similar, 88R protein was not detected
in viromatrix. Moreover, function of RGV 88R on virus replication were evaluated by RNAi assay. Nevertheless, effect of knockdown of RGV 88R expression on virus replication was not detected in cultured fish cell lines. Collectively, current data indicate that RGV
88R was a late gene of iridovirus encoding protein that distributed both the cytoplasm and nucleus.

In this study, the cDNA of dmrt1 gene from the Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis was isolated and its expression pattern was characterized in different tissues of immature A. sinensis. By real‐time quantitative PCR (qrtPCR) analysis, the A. sinensis dmrt1 mRNA was detected mainly in gonad and with a higher level in the testis than the ovary, especially in 3 and 4 year‐old samples. This indicated that the dmrt1 expression exhibited gradual testis specificity with development. The subcellular localization analysis indicated that the Dmrt1 protein exists only in germ cells and not in somatic cells. These results suggest that A. sinensis dmrt1 might be a highly specific sex differentiation gene for testis development and spermatogenesis. 相似文献

Legally certified sturgeon fisheries require population protection and conservation methods, including DNA tests to identify the source of valuable sturgeon roe. However, the available genetic data are insufficient to distinguish between different sturgeon populations, and are even unable to distinguish between some species. We performed high‐throughput single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)‐genotyping analysis on different populations of Russian (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), Persian (A. persicus), and Siberian (A. baerii) sturgeon species from the Caspian Sea region (Volga and Ural Rivers), the Azov Sea, and two Siberian rivers. We found that Russian sturgeons from the Volga and Ural Rivers were essentially indistinguishable, but they differed from Russian sturgeons in the Azov Sea, and from Persian and Siberian sturgeons. We identified eight SNPs that were sufficient to distinguish these sturgeon populations with 80% confidence, and allowed the development of markers to distinguish sturgeon species. Finally, on the basis of our SNP data, we propose that the A. baerii‐like mitochondrial DNA found in some Russian sturgeons from the Caspian Sea arose via an introgression event during the Pleistocene glaciation. 相似文献

Dabry's sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus) represents an ancient Actinopterygian lineage that are termed “living fossils”. Many diseases have been found in Dabry's sturgeon. In the present study, genes encoding interleukin (IL)‐16 and IL‐17D in Dabry's sturgeon were identified by RNA‐sequencing. Phylogenetic tree analysis suggested that they clustered together with the corresponding pro‐IL‐16 proteins and IL‐17D proteins from other fish. Sequence analysis revealed that IL‐17D protein was more conserved than pro‐IL‐16. Dabry's sturgeon pro‐IL‐16 contains four putative PDZ domains and do not include signal peptides, while IL‐17D only possesses signal peptides (1–25 aa). The expression patterns of IL‐16 and IL‐17D genes were investigated in Dabry's sturgeon to reveal their functions in disease. The expression level of IL‐16 showed no significant changes in embryos; however, the high expression level of IL‐17D at 0–14 hpf (hours post fertilization) implied the existence of maternal expression in the oocyte and an association with embryonic development. Tissue distribution analysis revealed that IL‐16 and IL‐17D proteins have potential functions in immune and non‐immune tissue compartments. IL‐16 and IL‐17D had different fold changes in primary spleen leukocytes after polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, which suggested that IL‐16 has a stronger antiviral capability compared with its antibacterial response, and IL‐17D has a stronger antibacterial capability compared with its antiviral response. IL‐16 showed an earlier response to virus compared with IL‐17D, and IL‐17D showed earlier and shorter response to bacteria compared with IL‐16. Our findings suggested the roles of IL‐16 and IL‐17D in Dabry's sturgeon, and provided the theoretical basis for the prevention and control of diseases of Dabry's sturgeon. 相似文献

Leaf color mutants are widespread in higher plants and can be used as markers in crop breeding or as important material in understanding the regulatory mechanisms of chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development. A stably inherited plant etiolated mutation (pem) was obtained from its wild‐type ‘FT’ (a doubled haploid line of the Chinese cabbage variety ‘Fukuda 50’) by combining 60Co‐γ radiation and isolated microspore culture in Chinese cabbage. Compared to the wild‐type ‘FT’, the chlorophyll content in the pem mutant was decreased, the photosynthetic capacity was reduced and the chloroplast development was retarded. These physiological changes may lead to a reduction in growth and yield in the pem mutant line. Genetic analysis showed that the mutant phenotype was controlled by the single recessive nuclear pem gene. The pem gene was mapped to a 25.88 kb region on the A03 chromosome. Cloning and sequencing results showed that there was only one DNA sequence variation in this region, which was a 30 bp deletion on the promoter of Bra024218. Its homologous gene encodes EMBRYO DEFECTIVE 1923 (EMB1923) in Arabidopsis thaliana. We therefore predicted that Bra024218 was the mutated gene associated with etiolated leaves in Chinese cabbage. The pem mutant is a useful line for researching chloroplast development and the mechanism of leaf color mutation in Chinese cabbage. 相似文献

Populations of sturgeon across the globe are threatened due to unregulated harvest and habitat loss, and the status varies among species across North America. Ready access to viable and functional sperm would contribute to recovery programmes for these species. In this study, we examined the motility, viability (cell membrane integrity) of cryopreserved sperm from three North American acipenseriform species and fertilizing capacity. Milt samples were collected from captive shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum), wild paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) and pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) and cryopreserved using combinations of Modified Tsvetkova’s (MT) extender, Original Tsvetkova’s extender, and modified Hanks’ balanced salt solution, along with the cryoprotectants methanol (MeOH) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). A dual‐staining technique using the fluorescent stains SYBR‐14 and propidium iodide was employed with flow cytometry to determine the percentages of spermatozoa that were viable by virtue of having intact membranes. The percentage of viable spermatozoa ranged from 5% to 12% in shortnose sturgeon, 30–59% in paddlefish, and 44–58% in pallid sturgeon. In the first experiment with shortnose sturgeon sperm, methanol allowed for higher values for dependent variables than did DMSO, and sperm viability generally correlated with post‐thaw motility. However, fertilization rate, neurulation, or hatching rates were independent from these factors. In the second experiment with shortnose sturgeon, 5% MeOH combined with MT yielded higher values for all parameters tested than the other combinations: viability was correlated with motility, fertilization rate, and hatching rate. Overall, viability and post‐thaw motility was not affected by the use of hyperosmotic extenders (OT) or cryoprotectants (DMSO), but their use decreased fertilization percentages. For paddlefish sperm (experiment 3), MT combined with 10% MeOH was clearly a good choice for cryopreservation; viability and motility results were correlated, but independent of fertilization. For pallid sturgeon sperm (experiment 4), MT with 5–10% MeOH showed significantly higher sperm quality and fertilization parameters. Membrane integrity can be used as a predictor of fertilization by cryopreserved sperm, however additional sperm quality parameters, supplementary to motility and membrane integrity, would be useful in the refining and optimizing cryopreservation protocols with acipenseriform sperm. 相似文献

Sturgeons are representative of an ancient fish group, and present mainly an internal cartilaginous skeleton, with bone found essentially in the ganoid plaques forming the exogenous skeleton. Because of its archaic genetics, sturgeon represents an important model organism to understand the role of bone and cartilage‐related Gla proteins and determine if their molecular mechanisms of action were maintained throughout evolution. Of particular relevance is understanding the regulation, in sturgeon, of those proteins known to be involved in tissue mineralization in mammals, as well as unveiling the function of newly identified calcification‐related genes such as the one encoding the recently discovered Gla‐rich protein (GRP), thus contributing to understand the poor calcification observed in sturgeon endoskeleton. However, regulation of gene expression and promoter functional analysis of sturgeon cartilage and bone‐specific genes has been hampered by lack of suitable in vitro cell systems. We have recently developed the first sturgeon vertebra (VAn2H) and branchial arches (BAAn1F) derived cell cultures, and here we report their inability to mineralize their ECM under mineralizing culture conditions, as detected by von Kossa staining. Although a more extensive characterization of these systems is ongoing, our first data indicate that these cells represent a valuable tool for expression analysis of sturgeon bone and cartilage genes. 相似文献

A fish cell line, fathead minnow (FHM) cell, was used to investigate the alteration of mitochondrial dynamics and the mechanism
of apoptosis under Rana grylio virus (RGV) infection. Microscopy observations, flow-cytometry analysis and molecular marker detection revealed the apoptotic
fate of the RGV-infected cells. Some typical apoptotic characteristics, such as chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation
and mitochondrial fragmentation, were observed, and significantly morphological changes of mitochondria, including size, shape,
internal structure and distribution, were revealed. The mitochondria in RGV-infected cells were aggregated around the viromatrix,
and the aggregation could be blocked by colchicine. Moreover, the Δψm collapse was induced, and caspase-9 and caspase-3 were
activated in the RGV-infected cells. In addition, NF-κB activation and intracellular Ca2+ increase were also detected at different times after infection. The data revealed the detailed dynamics of mitochondrion-mediated
apoptosis induced by an iridovirus, and provided the first report on mitochondrial fragmentation during virus-induced apoptosis
in fish cells. 相似文献

For effective conservation, it is important to explore the environmental cues initiating the spawning activities of a fish species. Based on monitoring data gathered between 1998 and 2011, the relationships between spawning activities of the Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis, and several environmental cues were analyzed using the rare events logistic regression ‘Relogit’ method, which indicated that water temperature, 1‐day ?‐discharge, and atmospheric pressure were among the key spawning cues for A. sinensis (P < 0.05). It is suggested that Chinese sturgeon might have an optimal environment window of 17–20°C water temperature, high day‐to‐day discharge increase, and low atmospheric pressure for spawning. In support of Chinese sturgeon reproduction, suggested modifications to the operational procedures for the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) to trigger spawning are: lowering the downstream water temperature to below 20°C before mid‐October and expanding the period with water temperatures of between 17 and 20°C; to create a day‐to‐day intermittent increase in the discharge to an optimal spawning water temperature; and to regulate flow at nights with a low atmospheric pressure. 相似文献

A kinetic model for the production of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been developed from semiempirical analysis. The values for the parameters in this model were then determined by nonlinear multiple regression using the data of Bazua and Wilke ( 1977). The final equations were μ=0.427s(1-(p/101.6)1.95)/(0.245+s), YX/p=0.291, and YX/s=0.152(1-p/302.3). This model was then used to simulate a continuous stirred tank fermentor (CSTF) and compared to other models using the same experimental data but different kinetics. The equations required to use these kinetics in a CSTF with recycle were then developed. From this simulation, it was found that, for a CSTF with recycle, the best configuration to operate is an external recycle, with a low bleed and recycle ratio. 相似文献

Epithelial cell shedding is a defence mechanism against infectious microbes that use these cells as an infection foothold and that eliminate microbes from infection foci by removing infected cells. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a causative agent of respiratory infections, is known to adhere to and colonise the surface of ciliated airway epithelial cells; it produces a large amount of hydrogen peroxide, indicating its capability of regulating hydrogen peroxide‐induced infected cell detachment. In this study, we found that M. pneumoniae reduces exogenous hydrogen peroxide‐induced detachment of the infected cells from culture plates. This cell detachment occurred dependently of DNA damage‐initiated, poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1)‐mediated cell death, or parthanatos. In cells infected with M. pneumoniae, exogenous hydrogen peroxide failed to induce DNA damage‐initiated poly (ADP‐ribose) (PAR) synthesis and concomitant increased cytoplasmic membrane rupture, both of which are biochemical hallmarks of parthanatos. The impairment of PAR synthesis was attributed to a reduction in the amount of cytosolic nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a substrate of PARP1, caused by M. pneumoniae. On the other hand, nonadherent mutant strains of M. pneumoniae showed a lower ability to reduce cell detachment than wild‐type strains, but the extent to which NAD was decreased in infected cells was comparable to that seen in the wild‐type strain. We found that NAD depletion could induce PARP1‐independent cell detachment pathways following stimulation with hydrogen peroxide and that M. pneumoniae could also regulate PARP1‐independent cell detachment in a cytoadhesion‐dependent manner. These results suggest that M. pneumoniae might regulate infected cell detachment induced by hydrogen peroxide that it produces itself, and such a mechanism may contribute to sustaining the bacterial infection. 相似文献

The present study investigated the presence of Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis on its only remaining spawning ground (below the Gezhauba Dam), and monitored the behaviour under different environmental conditions from 24 December 2015 to 23 January 2016. A fixed ARIS (Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar) system was used and a total of 72 Chinese sturgeon were detected during nine observations. Detections initially recorded a few A. sinensis in the early days of late‐December 2015, with an increase in recordings, leading to a peak in early‐January 2016 and declining thereafter. Water temperature slowly decreased during the study period from 18.1 to 15.7°C. During the middle of this temperature decline the sturgeon observations peaked, suggesting that Chinese sturgeon could have an optimal temperature range. The sturgeon Detections Per Unit Effort (DPUE) was higher in the night hours, peaking before dawn, suggesting a circadian behaviour rhythm. Sturgeon spawning was not observed during the investigation period. A delay in the decrease in water temperature caused by the Three Gorges Reservoir and the few numbers of reproductively mature individuals are suspected to have contributed to the failure in natural breeding. 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines are widely used for scientific research and biotechnology. A CHO genomic bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed from a mouse dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene‐amplified CHO DR1000L‐4N cell line for genome‐wide analysis of CHO cell lines. The CHO BAC library consisted of 122,281 clones and was expected to cover the entire CHO genome five times. A CHO chromosomal map was constructed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) imaging using BAC clones as hybridization probes (BAC‐FISH). Thirteen BAC‐FISH marker clones were necessary to identify all the 20 individual chromosomes in a DHFR‐deficient CHO DG44 cell line because of the aneuploidy of the cell line. To determine the genomic structure of the exogenous Dhfr amplicon, a 165‐kb DNA region containing exogenous Dhfr was cloned from the BAC library using high‐density replica (HDR) filters and Southern blot analysis. The nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a novel genomic structure in which the vector sequence containing Dhfr was sandwiched by long inverted sequences of the CHO genome. Biotechnol.

Chlamydia trachomatis infections have been associated with ovarian cancer by several epidemiological studies. Here, we show that C. trachomatis‐infected primary human ovarian epithelial cells display elevated oxidative DNA damage. Base excision repair, an important cellular mechanism to repair oxidative DNA lesions, was impaired in infected primary ovarian and in several other types of cells. Polymerase β was downregulated in infected cells associated with upregulation of microRNA‐499a (miR‐499a). Stabilising polymerase β by inhibiting miR‐499a significantly improved repair. Moreover, downregulation of tumour suppressor p53 also resulted in attenuated repair in these cells. Thus, our data show that downregulation of polymerase β by direct inhibition through miR‐499a and downregulation of p53 debilitate the host‐cell base excision repair during C. trachomatis infection. 相似文献

YB1 is a negative regulator in liver fibrosis. We wondered whether SJYB1, a homologous protein of YB1 from Schistosoma japonicum, has an effect on liver fibrosis in vitro. Recombinant SJYB1 (rSJYB1) protein was expressed in a bacterial system and purified by Ni‐NTA His·Bind Resin. A human hepatic stellate cell line, the LX‐2 cell line, was cultured and treated with rSJYB1. The role of rSJYB1 on LX‐2 cells was then analysed by Western blot and luciferase assay. We succeeded in expressing and purifying SJYB1 in a bacterial system and the purified rSJYB1 could be recognized by S japonicum‐infected rabbit sera. Western bolt analysis showed that rSJYB1 inhibited the expression of collagen type I, but had little effect on α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA). Further analysis revealed that rSJYB1 inhibited the activity of collagen α1 (I) (COL1A1) promoter and functioned at ?1592/?1176 region of COL1A1 promoter. Our data demonstrate that rSJYB1‐mediated anti‐fibrotic activity involves inhibiting the activity of COL1A1 promoter and subsequently suppressing the expression of collagen type I in hepatic stellate cells. 相似文献

Aims: The Aedes albopictus C7‐10 cell line was infected with Wolbachia strains wRi and wAlbB to create C7‐10R and C7‐10B cell lines, respectively. We compared two different methods, fluorescence in situ hybridization staining and SYTO11 staining, to describe these new Wolbachia infections in C7‐10. Methods and Results: Both staining methods were as efficient to stain Wolbachia. A formula was developed to quantify Wolbachia infection. The infection levels in C7‐10B and C7‐10R differed. The live stain SYTO11 was found to be useful to visualize Wolbachia in replicating host cells. Its potential cytotoxic effect at high concentration was investigated. Conclusions: C7‐10 supported two Wolbachia infections, constituting new tools to study Wolbachia–host interactions. The different infection levels suggest that wRi and wAlbB have different requirements for their survival in C7‐10 host cell line. Observation of SYTO11‐stained live cells gave new insights on Wolbachia segregation pattern during host cell mitosis. Significance and Impact of the Study: Wolbachia‐induced phenotypes in their arthropod and worm hosts could potentially be used to control pest populations. However, the mechanisms underlying these phenotypes are difficult to study because of Wolbachia’s intracellular lifestyle. The Wolbachia infections in C7‐10 described here could be used as in vitro models to investigate Wolbachia biology. 相似文献
