Preliminarily functional analysis of a cloned novel human

ADAM is a family of type I integral membrane proteins which are characterized by sharing a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain and involved in many important physiological processes such as fertilization, neurogenesis and inflammatory response. A novel human ADAM gene--ADAM29, which was cloned in our laboratory, is exclusively expressed in human testis andcontains a potential fusion domain. A full-length cDNA of ADAM29 was obtained by using multiple-step PCR. Phylogenetic tree of known mammalian ADAMs specifically expressed in testis was reconstructed. Polyclonal antiserum was raised by immunizing the rabbits with sub-peptide of ADAM29 (Leu268-Asp374) as immunogen. The result of immunohistochemical test on human testis showed that ADAM29 is expressed in different stages of spermatogenesis and in interstitial cells. ADAM29 may play a certain role in the signal transduction during the maturation of tes-tis-associated cells.     

Computational analysis and prediction for exons of PAC579 genomic sequence

To isolate the novel genes related to human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we se-quenced P1-derived artificial chromosome PAC579 (D17S926 locus) mapped in the minimum LOH (loss of heterozygosity) deletion region of chromosome 17p13.3 in HCC. Four novel genes mapped in this genomic sequence area were isolated and cloned by wet-lab experiments, and the exons of these genes were located. 0-60 kb of this genomic sequence including the genes of interest was scanned with five different computational exon prediction programs as well as four splice site recognition programs. After analyzing and comparing the computationally predicted results with the wet-lab experiment results, some potential exons were predicted in the genomic sequence by using these programs.

酵母肽体重控制代餐粉调节糖脂代谢功能评价

目的：评价酵母肽体重控制代餐粉对于调节糖脂代谢的作用。方法：用酵母肽以及多种谷物粉配制体重控制代餐粉,采用体外消化的方法测定其GI值。提取得代餐粉水提物,得率为42.97%。将所得的水提物作用于游离脂肪酸诱导的胰岛素抵抗HepG2细胞,采用MTT实验检测其对细胞的毒性,观察HepG2细胞上清葡萄糖、胞内糖原、胞内TG、胞内TC以及油红O染色的变化情况。结果：代餐粉的血糖生成指数（Glycemic Index,GI）为44.23,为低GI食品;其水提物在100~500μg/mL时对细胞的增殖没有影响;与对照组相比,模型组细胞内糖原的含量显著降低,上清葡萄糖,胞内TG、TC的含量均显著升高,代餐粉处理后胞内糖原的含量明显上升,上清葡萄糖,胞内TG、TC的含量均显著下降;油红O染色结果说明,模型组细胞内出现了大量小油滴,说明模型组出现脂代谢异常,而二甲双胍和代餐粉处理后,红色区域明显减少,且500μg/mL代餐粉处理组效果优于300μg/mL。结论：酵母肽体重控制代餐粉可以减缓葡萄糖的释放,调节HepG2细胞的糖脂代谢,减轻HepG2胰岛素抵抗。
