“缺体回交法”选育普通小麦—山羊草异代换系的研究

利用从兰单体自交分离得到的5个自花结实的4D缺体小麦(映72180、块天选15等)作母本与11个山羊草(Ae.speltoides, Ae.sharonensis等)杂交,再以4D缺体为轮回亲本对杂种进行回交,借助于幼胚培养技术,获得了缺天选15×拟斯卑尔脱山羊草二体异代换系,缺72180×沙融山羊草单体异代换系。代换系生长发育良好,育性基本正常,表明山羊草的4S染色体能够补偿小麦缺失的4D染色体的功能。证明利用“缺体回交法”选育普通小麦—山羊草异代换系是有效的和可行的。     

西南喀斯特木本植物区系成分的纬度变异格局

本研究选取3个极具代表性的喀斯特原生植被区域,即北热带的广西弄岗自然保护区、南亚热带的广西龙虎山自然保护区和中亚热带的贵州茂兰自然保护区为研究对象,通过野外实地调查及查阅文献,整理出3个区域的木本植物名录,比较分析木本植物种类组成和区系成分的纬度变异格局。结果显示,弄岗、龙虎山和茂兰3个不同气候区域内的木本植物分别有104科425属936种、99科363属636种和100科352属995种。木本植物区系均以热带亚热带成分为主,其优势科热带性质随纬度升高逐步降低。热带区系成分与温带区系成分的比值(R/T)反映出,弄岗和龙虎山自然保护区的木本植物区系属的热带性质明显,而茂兰自然保护区植物属的热带性质较弱,温带性质属的比重随纬度升高而增加。科、属、种相似性系数表明,弄岗和龙虎山间的木本植物亲缘关系较密切,弄岗和茂兰间次之,而龙虎山和茂兰间亲缘关系较远。

口服草原兔尾鼠卵透明带3纳米乳剂DNA疫苗免疫效果研究

用免疫不育疫苗控制有害动物的数量成为动物种群数量控制的一个有效措施,对于大多数动物来说．口服饵料发送系统是最好的选择。但是口服疫苗容易产生耐受,且生物利用度低,利用多聚物包裹口服疫苗是一种打破口服耐受．提高其生物利用度的新途径。本文以纳米乳剂作为草原兔尾鼠卵透明带3（Lugurus zone pellucida 3,LZP3）DNA疫苗的发送载体,探讨通过口服途径增强小鼠的免疫效果和抗生育率。用纳米乳剂包裹lzp3 DNA疫苗后,采用强阴离子交换色谱法测定纳米乳剂的包封率．将制备好的质粒纳米乳剂lzp3 DNA疫苗通过口服饵料免疫小鼠,检测到免疫后小鼠的体内产生了特异性的抗LZP3的IgG和IgA。对免疫后小鼠进行抗生育实验,分析生育后免疫小鼠的卵巢病理切片。研究结果表明,用质粒纳米乳剂如p3DNA疫苗通过口服途径免疫．在小鼠的血清和粘液中检测到了特异性的抗LZP3的IgG和IgA,同时也产生了相应的抗生育作用．表明纳米乳剂作为口服不育疫苗的发送载体是可行的,为草原兔尾鼠鼠害的防治提供了理论基础．     

Analysis of variable sites between two complete South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) mitochondrial genomes

In order to investigate the mitochondrial genome of Panthera tigris amoyensis, two South China tigers (P25 and P27) were analyzed following 15 cymt-specific primer sets. The entire mtDNA sequence was found to be 16,957 bp and 17,001 bp long for P25 and P27 respectively, and this difference in length between P25 and P27 occurred in the number of tandem repeats in the RS-3 segment of the control region. The structural characteristics of complete P. t. amoyensis mitochondrial genomes were also highly similar to those of P. uncia. Additionally, the rate of point mutation was only 0.3% and a total of 59 variable sites between P25 and P27 were found. Out of the 59 variable sites, 6 were located in 6 different tRNA genes, 6 in the 2 rRNA genes, 7 in non-coding regions (one located between tRNA-Asn and tRNA-Tyr and six in the D-loop), and 40 in 10 protein-coding genes. COI held the largest amount of variable sites (9 sites) and Cytb contained the highest variable rate (0.7%) in the complete sequences. Moreover, out of the 40 variable sites located in 10 protein-coding genes, 12 sites were nonsynonymous.     

Effects of macrophage-specific adiponectin expression on lipid metabolism in vivo

Epidemiological studies have associated low circulating levels of the adipokine adiponectin with multiple metabolic disorders, including metabolic syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Recently, we reported that adiponectin selectively overexpressed in mouse macrophages can improve insulin sensitivity and protect against inflammation and atherosclerosis. To further investigate the role of adiponectin and macrophages on lipid and lipometabolism in vivo, we engineered the expression of adiponectin in mouse macrophages (Ad-TG mice) and examined effects on plasma lipoproteins and on the expression levels of genes involved in lipoprotein metabolism in tissues. Compared with the wild-type (WT) mice, Ad-TG mice exhibited significantly lower levels of plasma total cholesterol (-21%, P < 0.05) due to significantly decreased LDL (-34%, P < 0.05) and VLDL (-32%, P < 0.05) cholesterol concentrations together with a significant increase in HDL cholesterol (+41%, P < 0.05). Further studies investigating potential mechanisms responsible for the change in lipoprotein cholesterol profile revealed that adiponectin-producing macrophages altered expression of key genes in liver tissue, including apoA1, apoB, apoE, the LDL receptor, (P < 0.05), and ATP-binding cassette G1 (P < 0.01). In addition, Ad-TG mice also exhibited higher total and high-molecular-weight adipnection levels in plasma and increased expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 as well as a decrease in the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 in adipose tissue. These results indicate that macrophages engineered to produce adiponectin can influence in vivo gene expression in adipose tissue in a manner that reduces inflammation and macrophage infiltration and in liver tissue in a manner that alters the circulating lipoprotein profile, resulting in a decrease in VLDL and LDL and an increase in HDL cholesterol. The data support further study addressing the use of genetically manipulated macrophages as a novel therapeutic approach for treatment of cardiometabolic disease.
