茄病镰刀菌单克隆抗体的制备及胶体金免疫层析试纸条的研发*

Objective: The cell lines secreting specific monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) were prepared by using Fusarium solani, one of the pathogenic fungi causing root rot of Fritillaria thunbergii, and the colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip based on McAbs was developed to provide scientific basis for detecting root rot of F. thunbergii. Methods: Hybridoma technology was used to obtain cell lines that could secrete specific McAbs against F. solani using the whole protein extract of F. solani as the antigen. The specificity, titer, sensitivity and binding protein of McAbs were detected by indirect ELISA and Western blot. Colloidal gold particles were prepared by trisodium citrate reduction method and McAbs were labeled to prepare colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip. Results: Three cell lines secreting specific McAbs against F. solani were obtained, which were named as FsA3, FsG6 and FsD4. The detection sensitivity of FsA3 was 24.41 ng / mL, and that of both FsG6 and FsD4 was 12.21 ng / mL. FsA3, FsG6 and FsD4 had strong reactions to F. solani, and had no cross-reaction to Alternaria tenuissima, A. alternata, Botrytis cinerea, F. equiseti, F. incarnatum, F. oxysporum, Phoma sp., and Phomopsis oblonga. The colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip based on FsG6 showed only a quality control line when detecting the tissue culture seedlings of F. thunbergii. When 100 ng F. solani antigen or the samples of F. thunbergii infested with root rot disease were detected, there were visible quality control lines and test lines. Conclusion: The specificity and sensitivity of the McAbs and test strip are sufficient to detect F. solani isolated from diseased strains of F. thunbergii, which provides the technical support for the rapid detection of root rot of F. thunbergii in the field.

Production of ligninolytic enzymes by Fusarium solani strains isolated from different substrata

A comparative study on the extracellular ligninolytic enzymatic activity of five strains of Fusarium solani in a carbon-limited medium under shaking, revealed a differential production of these enzymes. Aryl alcohol oxidase (AAO) activity was observed only in the supernatant of strain CLPS no. 568 with levels higher than 57 mU ml⁻¹. Free extracellular laccase activity was detected in strains CLPS nos. 493, 568 and 570, strain no. 568 being the one which showed the highest activity (over 8.6 mU ml⁻¹). Free extracellular lignin peroxidase (LiP) activity was not detected in any isolate tested, whereas low levels of manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and manganese-independent peroxidase (MIP) activities were detected in certain isolates used. The AAO activity of F. solani on primary α-alcohols such as veratryl alcohol, is reported for the first time; this enzyme activity is hydrogen-peroxide independent. This is also the first report for extracellular MnP and MIP activities of F. solani. This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Bioremediation of DDT in soil by genetically improved strains of soil fungus Fusarium solani

Bioremediation of DDT in soil by genetically improved recombinants of the soil fungus Fusarium solani was studied. The parent strains were isolated from soil enriched with DDD or DDE (immediate anaerobic and aerobic degradation products of DDT), as further degradation of these products are slow processes compared to the parent compound. These naturally occurring strains isolated from soil, however, are poor degraders of DDT and differed in their capability to degrade its metabolites such as DDD, DDE, DDOH and DBP and other organochlorine pesticides viz. kelthane and lindane. Synergistic effect was shown by some of these strains, when grown together in the medium containing DDD and kelthane under mixed culture condition. No synergism in DDE degradation was observed with the strains isolated from enriched soil. DDD-induced proteins extracted from individual culture filtrate (exo-enzyme) when subjected to SDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed complementary polypeptide bands in these strains i.e., each strain produced distinct DDD degrading polypeptide bands and the recombinant or hybrid strains produced all of the bands of the two parents and degraded DDD better than the parental strains. Recombinant hybrid strains with improved dehalogenase activity were raised by parasexual hybridisation of two such complementary isolates viz. isolate 1(P-1) and 4(P-2) showing highest complementation and are compatible for hyphal fusion inducing heterokaryosis. These strains are genetically characterised as Kel⁺Ben^RDBP^-Lin^- and Kel^-Ben^rDBP⁺Lin⁺ respectively.Recombinants with mixed genotype, i.e., Kel⁺Ben^RDBP⁺Lin⁺ showing superior degradation quality for DDT were selected for bioremediation study. Recombination was confirmed by polypeptide band analysis of DDD induced exo-proteins from culture filtrate usingSDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE) and RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) of genomic DNA using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique. SDS-PAGE showed combination of DDD induced polypeptide bands characteristic of both the parents in the recombinants or the hybrids. PCR study showed the parent specific bands in the recombinant strains confirming gene transformation.

Replication of double-stranded RNA in mycovirus from the plant pathogenic fungus, Fusarium solani

Abstract A mycovirus (named FusoV) from the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium solani possessed two types of double-stranded (ds) RNA genome, designated Ml and M2. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity was detected in FusoV particle fractions. An in vitro RNA polymerase reaction using purified FusoV particles that was supplemented with NTPs revealed the synthesis of single-stranded (ss) RNA species and a subsequent formation of dsRNAs having the same size as Ml and M2. The ssRNA species synthesized in the first stage were proved to be of positive polarity (coding strand) for both M1 and M2 by dot blot hybridization analysis. These results suggest that FusoV genomic dsRNA replicates in a conservative manner.     

Reinstalling antitumor immunity by inhibiting tumor-derived immunosuppressive molecule IDO through RNA interference

Tumor-derived immune suppression is a major impediment to successful immune/gene cancer therapy. In the present study, we describe a novel strategy to disrupt tumor-derived immune suppression by silencing a tolerogenic molecule of tumor origin, IDO, using small interfering RNA (siRNA). Silencing of IDO in B16F10 cells in vitro using IDO-siRNA prevented catabolism of tryptophan and inhibited apoptosis of T cells. IDO-siRNA treatment of B16F10 cells in vitro inhibited subsequent growth, tumor formation, and the size of tumor formed, by those cells when transplanted into host mice. In vivo treatment of B16F10 tumor-bearing mice successfully postponed tumor formation time and significantly decreased tumor size. Furthermore, in vivo IDO-siRNA treatment resulted in recovery of T cells responses and enhancement of tumor-specific killing. Thus, silencing IDO may break tumor-derived immune suppression. These data indicate that RNA interference has potential to enhance cancer therapy by reinstalling anticancer immunity.     

The pathogenicities of Cylindrocarpon tonkinense and Fusarium solani in the rabbit cornea

The pathogenicity of Cylindrocarpon tonkinense in the cornea was evaluated and compared with that of Fusarium solani in rabbits. F. solani was inoculated into the right eyes of 14 rabbits and C. tonkinense was into the left eyes of same rabbits. The corneal lesions of both eyes were examined carefully by slit lamp every day for three weeks and the severity of infections were compared each other. For histopathologic study, several eyes were enucleated periodically. C. tonkinense has a pathogenicity equally strong as F. solani in this inculum size (10⁴ microconidia per cornea) and produced severe infection in rabbit eyes.     

Sleeping Beauty-mediated down-regulation of huntingtin expression by RNA interference

Huntington disease (HD) is a devastating neurologic disorder that is characterized by abnormal expansion of a CAG nt repeat in the first exon of the huntingtin (htt) gene, producing a mutant protein with an elongated polyglutamine stretch. The presence of this mutant protein is correlated with the characteristic loss of striatal neurons and the clinical manifestation of HD. Currently there is no effective treatment for the associated cell death. The aim of this study was to evaluate an innovative strategy combining RNA interference (RNAi) and gene transfer via the nonviral Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system to down-regulate Htt expression. siRNA expression vectors were designed to target exons 1, 4, 6, and 62 of the human htt gene. Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to quantify Htt mRNA and protein levels, respectively, in human cell lines. The results indicated that selected siRNA constructs significantly decreased Htt mRNA and protein levels relative to controls. In addition, SB transposition of the siRNA constructs into the genome reduced long-term protein expression of Htt by approximately 90%. The combination of siRNA, the SB transposon, and an accurate transgenic mouse model may permit evaluation of this approach in preventing the pathogenesis associated with expression of mutant Htt.     

Formation of trichothecenes by Fusarium solani var. coeruleum and Fusarium sambucinum in potatoes.

Fusarium solani var. coeruleum can form deoxynivalenol in potato tubers and in liquid medium, although concentrations observed in the rot were highly variable; acetyldeoxynivalenol and HT-2 toxin were detected in 1 to 3 tubers only (of 57). Trichothecenes were also detected in a very few (3 of 20) cultures of Fusarium sambucinum in potato tubers.
