To gain a better understanding of the progression of progenitor cells in the odontoblast lineage, we have examined and characterized the expression of a series of GFP reporters during odontoblast differentiation. However, previously reported GFP reporters (pOBCol2.3‐GFP, pOBCol3.6‐GFP, and DMP1‐GFP), similar to the endogenous proteins, are also expressed by bone‐forming cells, which made it difficult to delineate the two cell types in various in vivo and in vitro studies. To overcome these difficulties we generated DSPP‐Cerulean/DMP1‐Cherry transgenic mice using a bacterial recombination strategy with the mouse BAC clone RP24‐258g7. We have analyzed the temporal and spatial expression of both transgenes in tooth and bone in vivo and in vitro. This transgenic animal enabled us to visualize the interactions between odontoblasts and surrounding tissues including dental pulp, ameloblasts and cementoblasts. Our studies showed that DMP1‐Cherry, similar to Dmp1, was expressed in functional and fully differentiated odontoblasts as well as osteoblasts, osteocytes and cementoblasts. Expression of DSPP‐Cerulean transgene was limited to functional and fully differentiated odontoblasts and correlated with the expression of Dspp. This transgenic animal can help in the identification and isolation of odontoblasts at later stages of differentiation and help in better understanding of developmental disorders in dentin and odontoblasts. 相似文献

RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mosquito defense mechanism against arbovirus infection. In this paper we study the processes underlying antiviral RNAi in Aedes albopictus-derived U4.4 mosquito cells infected with Semliki Forest virus (SFV) (Togaviridae; Alphavirus). The production of virus-derived small interfering RNAs (viRNAs) from viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a key event in this host response. dsRNA could be formed by RNA replication intermediates, by secondary structures in RNA genomes or antigenomes, or by both. Which of these dsRNAs is the substrate for the generation of viRNAs is a fundamental question. Here we used deep sequencing of viRNAs and bioinformatic analysis of RNA secondary structures to gain insights into the characteristics and origins of viRNAs. An asymmetric distribution of SFV-derived viRNAs with notable areas of high-level viRNA production (hot spots) and no or a low frequency of viRNA production (cold spots) along the length of the viral genome with a slight bias toward the production of genome-derived viRNAs over antigenome-derived viRNAs was observed. Bioinformatic analysis suggests that hot spots of viRNA production are rarely but not generally associated with putative secondary structures in the SFV genome, suggesting that most viRNAs are derived from replicative dsRNA. A pattern of viRNAs almost identical to those of A. albopictus cells was observed for Aedes aegypti-derived Aag2 cells, suggesting common mechanisms that lead to viRNA production. Hot-spot viRNAs were found to be significantly less efficient at mediating antiviral RNAi than cold-spot viRNAs, pointing toward a nucleic acid-based viral decoy mechanism to evade the RNAi response. 相似文献

Respiration measurement is applied as a universal tool to determine the activity of biological systems. The measurement techniques
are difficult to compare, due to the vast variety of devices and analytical procedures commonly in use. They are used in fields
as different as microbiology, gene engineering, toxicology, and industrial process monitoring to observe the physiological
activity of living systems in environments as diverse as fermenters, shake flasks, lakes and sewage plants. A method is introduced
to determine accuracy, quantitation limit, range and precision of different respiration measurement devices. Corynebacterium
glutamicum cultures were used to compare an exhaust gas analyzer (EGA), a RAMOS device (respiration measurement in shake flasks) and
a respirometer. With all measuring devices it was possible to determine the general culture characteristics. The EGA and the
RAMOS device produced almost identical results. The scatter of the respirometer was noticeably higher. The EGA is the technique
of choice, if the reaction volume is high or a short reaction time is required. The possibility to monitor cultures simultaneously
makes the RAMOS device an indispensable tool for media and strain development. If online monitoring is not compulsive, the
respiration of the investigated microbial system extremely low, or the sample size small, a respirometer is recommended. 相似文献

Moulting Starlings (n=9) show increased plasma values of glucose: 314,2±24,96 mg/dl; the corresponding values were 277,5±28,8 for non-moulting birds (mean value over all periods: 295,6±32,2 mg/dl). In all other blood values (e. g. blood cells, hemoglobin, protein-concentration, osmotic pressure, hematocrit) no significant differences between moulting and non-moulting birds could be observed (Prinzinger &Hakimi 1996); e. g. plasma-cholesterin was 195,6±22,6 mg/dl (moulting) and 197,5±43,8 (non-moulting), respectively. 相似文献

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are adult multipotent cells able to differentiate into several cell lineages. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the shear stress associated with blood flow are considered as the most important chemical and mechanical cues that play major roles in endothelial differentiation. However, the stability of endothelial-specific gene expression has not been completely addressed yet. ADSCs in passage 3 were cultured inside the tubular silicon tubes and then exposed to VEGF or shear stress produced in a perfusion bioreactor. To investigate the differentiation, the expression levels of Flk-1, von Willebrand factor (vWF), and vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) were studied using Real-Time PCR. For studying the endothelial differentiation stability, mRNA levels of the genes were evaluated in certain time intervals after completion of the tests so as to determine whether the expression level of each gene in different time points was stable and remained constant or not. Application of VEGF and shear stress caused an elevation in endothelial cells’ specific genes. Although there are some changes following the days after application of mechanical and chemical stimuli, the gene expression results depicted significantly higher gene expression between sequential chemically and mechanically incited groups. In conclusion, stress alone can be a differentiating factor, by itself. Our results verified the efficient stable differentiation ability of the chemical and mechanical factors. 相似文献

All tested blood parameters are within the expected range for birds (Tab. 1). Starlings show a high rate of alcohol resorption. Experimentally ingested (per os) doses of 1, 2 and 3 g/kg ethanol (10 %-solution) were completely absorbed from the digestive tract within at least 30 min. Extraintestinal metabolic alcohol degradation is also very fast. Within 130 min even 3 g/kg ethanol were completely metabolised (blood alcohol values did not exceed 145 mg/l; Tab. 2, Fig. a). Alcoholdehydrogenase (ADH) activity is very high (ca. 14-fold of man) and shows a clear and fast adaptive plasticity in correlation to ingested alcohol concentration (Fig. b). There seems to be a clear pre-adaptation in ADH-activity in birds. We found low values in seed-eating birds and high values in fruiteaters. Under field conditions normal alcohol concentration as found in fermentated fruits and berries are so low, that — in connection with high ADH-activity — birds obviously have no problems to cope with alcohol. 相似文献
