唾液中酸性富含脯氨酸蛋白遗传多态性的进一步研究

本文用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶等电聚焦技术, 调查了中国辽宁地区274名个体酸性富含脯氨酸蛋白二位点上共6种等位基因频率的分布。PRH1* 1=0.05 11,PRH1*2=0.1715,PRH1*4=0.7610,PRH1*6=0.0164;PRH2*1=0.8157,PRH2 *2=0.1843,Hardy-Weinbcrg定律进行吻合度检验,理论值与期望值高度一致。本研究还就我们调查的数据与Maeda等提出的新的遗传学说进行检验吻合,证明了这一理论适用于中国汉族群体,同时提供了一组新的、不同于作者先前用旧命名法报道的遗传学数据。本次研究还同时检出了另两种酸性富含脯氨酸蛋白Au和Av,其中Au(+)出现率为2.55%,Av(+)为0.36。     

氯化高铁血红素诱导K562细胞中β-珠蛋白基因表达的研究

以绿色荧光蛋白（EGFP）基因为报道基因,构建了在β-珠蛋白启动子驱动及HS2元件调控下的重组表达载体HG,用脂质体转染法将其转染到K562细胞中,并用RT-PCR方法及流式细胞仪检测氯化高铁血红素(Hm)对K562细胞中β-珠蛋白基因表达及重组载体HG在K562细胞中瞬时表达的影响。结果显示：用30μmol/L Hm诱导K562细胞24、48及72h后,不仅其γ-珠蛋白mRNA水平升高,其β-珠蛋白mRNA水平也明显上升,而且这种诱导作用在诱导24、48h后比较明显;Hm还可增强重组表达载体HG在K562细胞中的瞬时表达。提示Hm诱导红系分化的机理可能与γ→β-珠蛋白基因的转换机制相关。 Abstract: The recombinant plasmid HG was constructed,in which the reporter gene encoding the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was driven by the β-globin promoter and regulated under the HS2 element.The inductive effect of hemin on the expression of the β-globin gene and transiently transfected β-globin genes in K562 cells was analysed by FACS as well as RT-PCR method.The results showed that the level of γ and β-globin gene mRNA in K562 cells increased significantly after 24,48 and 72 hours induced with 30 μmol/LHm.And this inductive effect was sronger after 24 and 48 hours.Furthermore,the transient expression of plasmid HG in K562 cells increased significantly with hemin induction.These results indicated that the mechanism of inductive erythroid differentiation with hemin may be correlated with mechanism of γ→β-globin gene.     

Creation of Transgenic Bananas Expressing Human Lysozyme Gene for Panama Wilt Resistance

Human lysozyme （HL） inhibits Fusarium oxysporum （FocR4） growth in vitro. To obtain transgenic bananas （Musa spp.） that are resistant to Panama wilt （F. oxysporum）, we introduced an HL gene that is driven by a constitutive cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter into the banana via Agrobacteriummediated transformation. PCR confirmed that 51 transgenic plants were obtained. The development of Panama wilt symptoms were examined after the plants had been grown in pots. The non-transgenic plants developed typical fusarium symptoms 60 d after FocR4 inoculation, whereas 24 of 51 transgenic plants remained healthy. The transgenic banana plants that showed resistance to FocR4 in the pots were then planted in a field that was heavily infected with FocR4 for further investigation. Eleven of 24 plants devel- oped symptoms before bud emergence; another 11 plants showed symptoms after bud emergence and the remaining two plants, H-67 and H-144, remained healthy and were able to fruit. Northern blotting analysis demonstrated that H-67 and H-144, bearing the strongest resistance to Panama wilt, had the highest level of HL expression and that the expression of HL was well correlated with the FocR4 resistance of transgenic plants. We conclude that Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, with the assistance of particle bombardment, is a powerful approach for banana transformation and that a transgenic HL gene can cause resistance of the crop to FocR4 in the field.     

多重实时荧光PCR相对定量法快速诊断唐氏综合征

为了建立一种基于多重实时荧光相对定量PCR技术并应用之于唐氏综合征分子诊断, 选择21号染色体上唐氏综合征特异区域基因片段(DSCR3)为目的基因, 以12号染色体上的磷酸甘油醛脱氢酶基因(GAPDH)为参照基因, 设计合成两对引物以及分别以不同荧光标记的TaqMan探针, 在同一个反应管中进行扩增。以相对定量指标△CT值区分唐氏综合征患者与正常人。采用EB 病毒转化技术, 把唐氏综合征患者外周血B 淋巴细胞转化成永生淋巴母细胞系作为标准品。通过优化反应条件, 使得目的基因和参照基因的扩增效率基本一致, 接近100%, 模板浓度在3～300 ng/μL范围内, △CT值的变异系数小于15%, 浓度在30 ng/μL时, 变异系数最小(＜10%), 以该浓度的DNA作为模板进行批内和批间实验的△CT值重复性好, 变异系数分别为9.8%和13.3%。运用建立的方法检测20例唐氏综合征患者的血标本和30例正常人的血标本, 正常人△CT值范围是-1.90～-1.30, 患者的△CT值范围是-2.95～-2.15, 两组之间无交叉重叠, 有明显差异(P＜0.001)。唐氏综合征患者永生细胞系建系成功 ,染色体核型和DNA 分析表明建系前后遗传是稳定的。因此, 实时荧光定量PCR比较△CT值的相对定量法快速诊断唐氏综合征是可行的。
