中华通草蛉越冬成虫肠道可培养好氧细菌多样性分析

本研究以昆虫微生态学原理为指导探究中华通草蛉Chrysoperla sinica(Tjeder)的肠道菌群构成,为中华通草蛉的营养生理研究及人工繁殖利用提供理论依据和技术基础。采用无菌解剖及纯培养分离检测技术,从雌、雄成虫肠道环境中分离、纯化、培养,获得10个细菌菌株,对菌体形态、染色反应、培养形状、生理生化反应进行系统研究。结果表明,上述10个菌株分别属于摩根氏菌属(Morganella)、短小芽孢杆菌(Bacillus pumilus)、地杆菌属(Terrabacter)、爱德华氏菌属(Edwardsiella)、色杆菌属(Chromobacterium)、热黄杆菌(Flavobacterium thoupophilum)、放线杆菌属(Actinobacillus)、棍状杆菌属(Clavibacter)、邻单胞菌属(Plesiomonas)、预研菌属(Yokenella);越冬期雌、雄成虫肠道细菌的种类和数量存在较大差异,可能与雌、雄成虫不同的营养和生理需求有关,两者关系还需进一步研究。     

Effect of intranasal arginine vasopressin on human headache

Arginine vasopressin (AVP), a nonapeptide hormone of posterior pituitary, reaches the central nervous system from systemic blood circulation with a difficulty because of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The interest has been expressed in the use of the nasal route for delivery of AVP to the brain directly, exploiting the olfactory pathway. Our previous study has demonstrated that AVP in the brain rather than the spinal cord and blood circulation plays an important role in rat pain modulation. For understanding the role of AVP on pain modulation in human, the communication tried to investigate the effect of intranasal AVP on human headache. The results showed that (1) AVP concentration in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) increased significantly in headache patients, who related with the headache level; (2) there was a positive relationship between plasma and CSF AVP concentration in headache patients; and (3) intranasal AVP could relieve the human headache in a dose-dependent manner. The data suggested that intranasal AVP, which was delivered to the brain through olfactory region, could treat human headache and AVP might be a potential drug of pain relief by intranasal administration.     

Generation of genetically modified mice by oocyte injection of androgenetic haploid embryonic stem cells

Haploid cells are amenable for genetic analysis. Recent success in the derivation of mouse haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs) via parthenogenesis has enabled genetic screening in mammalian cells. However, successful generation of live animals from these haESCs, which is needed to extend the genetic analysis to the organism level, has not been achieved. Here, we report the derivation of haESCs from androgenetic blastocysts. These cells, designated as AG-haESCs, partially maintain paternal imprints, express classical ESC pluripotency markers, and contribute to various tissues, including the germline, upon injection into diploid blastocysts. Strikingly, live mice can be obtained upon injection of AG-haESCs into MII oocytes, and these mice bear haESC-carried genetic traits and develop into fertile adults. Furthermore, gene targeting via homologous recombination is feasible in the AG-haESCs. Our results demonstrate that AG-haESCs can be used as a genetically tractable fertilization agent for the production of live animals via injection into oocytes.

亮氨酸拉链提高小鼠血浆中剪接的凝血因子Ⅷ凝血活性

培养细胞实验表明,亮氨酸拉链通过改善内含肽(intein)的蛋白质剪接效率,提高双载体转B区缺失型凝血因子Ⅷ(BDD-FⅧ)基因细胞剪接FⅧ蛋白的分泌量和活性.本文从C57BL/6小鼠门静脉注射含亮氨酸拉链和Ssp DnaB内含肽融合的BDD-FⅧ的重链和轻链基因双表达载体,48 h后,检测到血浆的重链分泌量和FⅧ活性分别为(298±67)μg/L和(1.15±0.29)U/mL,明显高于不含亮氨酸拉链的双载体转BDD-FⅧ基因对照小鼠((179±59)μg/L和(0.58±0.19)U/mL).结果表明,亮氨酸拉链通过改善蛋白质反式剪接,提高基于蛋白质剪接的双载体转BDD-FⅧ基因小鼠血浆的凝血活性,为进一步双腺相关病毒(AAV)载体转BDD-FⅧ基因的甲型血友病基因治疗研究提供了依据.

Thymine DNA glycosylase specifically recognizes 5-carboxylcytosine-modified DNA

Human thymine DNA glycosylase (hTDG) efficiently excises 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC), a key oxidation product of 5-methylcytosine in genomic DNA, in a recently discovered cytosine demethylation pathway. We present here the crystal structures of the hTDG catalytic domain in complex with duplex DNA containing either 5caC or a fluorinated analog. These structures, together with biochemical and computational analyses, reveal that 5caC is specifically recognized in the active site of hTDG, supporting the role of TDG in mammalian 5-methylcytosine demethylation.
