基于转录组测序分析甜菜夜蛾卵巢细胞离体培养成系进程

【目的】本研究旨在分析甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua蛹卵巢细胞建立细胞系的整个过程,探究细胞由体内到体外培养过程中其基因表达在转录水平的变化,为昆虫体外培养模型的建立提供理论基础。【方法】利用Illumina Hiseq测序平台对甜菜夜蛾蛹卵巢细胞离体培养过程中各阶段的细胞分别进行转录组测序,对获得注释的差异表达基因及其相关信号通路进行分析;通过荧光定量PCR对部分细胞周期相关基因(cycd和cdk4)、调控基因(cdc20,apc1,skp2和mad1)、增殖相关分子标志物(mcm4和pcna)在甜菜夜蛾卵巢细胞离体培养过程中的转录进行验证。【结果】甜菜夜蛾蛹卵巢细胞离体培养过程包括5个阶段:解剖获得离体的卵巢组织,卵巢组织贴壁培养后游离出原代细胞,细胞转化重新具备增殖能力,成功首次传代,以及能够连续传代15代以上建立细胞系。上述5个阶段的细胞经转录组测序、数据组装后共获得46 796条unigenes序列,组装得到序列长度完整性好;转录本unigenes序列拼接长度分布合理,样本碱基Q30均在94%以上。通过KEGG数据库获得注释的unigenes有1 473条,参与细胞过程紧密相关的20条信号通路,其中有92条unigenes在细胞周期信号通路中获得注释。聚类分析表明,在体内处于快速发育状态的卵巢细胞与同样处于增殖状态的细胞系基因表达模式非常接近。原代细胞由短暂停滞生长至成簇细胞的转化关键期,筛选到差异表达基因619个,cdk4在离体培养期表达量显著降低,cycd在细胞转化关键期之后表达量显著升高,cdc20,apc1,skp2和mad1在卵巢组织和细胞系的表达量显著高于原代细胞、转化关键期细胞和首次传代细胞的。从原代细胞至传代后,cycd的表达显著升高8.7倍,显著高于mcm4和pcna的变化水平。【结论】甜菜夜蛾卵巢细胞离体培养过程中5个阶段的细胞转录组测序获得的序列质量符合数据分析的基本要求。筛选获得了甜菜夜蛾蛹卵巢细胞经离体培养过程中的差异表达基因。原代细胞逆转增殖可能与cdk4,cycd,skp2和mad1等细胞周期调控基因表达有关。另外,cycd可作为原代细胞具备传代能力的标志物。

探究不同沙地樟子松混交林土壤碳氮磷化学计量变化规律,为其混交经营提供科学依据.以沙地樟子松纯林为对照,在沙地樟子松×榆树及沙地樟子松×怀槐带状混交林中,沿沙地樟子松和伴生树种两个方向在距离混交中心0、1、2、3和4 m处的不同土层采集土样,分析土壤有机C、全N、全P、速效N、速效P含量及其计量比的特征.结果表明: 沙地樟子松混交林土壤有机C、全N和速效N含量高于纯林, 沙地樟子松与榆树混交主要增加了深层土壤有机C和全N含量,以及C/N和C/P, 沙地樟子松与怀槐混交提高了土壤N含量, 降低了P含量.随着远离混交林中心,沙地樟子松×榆树混交林中沙地樟子松林带的土壤C/N先升高后降低,全P和速效P含量下降,N/P增加;榆树林带土壤C/N下降,速效P含量先升高后降低.沙地樟子松×怀槐混交林土壤全N含量在沙地樟子松林带先降低后升高,在怀槐林带先升高后降低.沙地樟子松混交林提高了土壤C、N储量,沙地樟子松应与榆树行间混交,与怀槐间隔2行混交.

Differences in Variation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Sequences from Henan and Shanghai Regions of China

Illegally paid blood donation was a risk factor for HIV acquisition exclusively in Henan and Hubei Provinces of China,and not in Shanghai.Nucleotide sequences in the gag and env genes of HIV-1 were compared between isolates from Henan and Shanghai regions of China to test whether an expected higher degree of a common source of infections from this unique blood donation transmission risk would be evident as decreased variation among Henan isolates in an exploratory cross-sectional analysis.Among 38 isolates studied,23 of 23(100%)from Henan and 8 of 15(54%)from Shanghai were subtype B.In addition,fewer sequence differences were found in gp41 of subtype B isolates from Henan than from Shanghai isolates.Further studies with additional controls are therefore warranted to confirm the role of the degree of a common source of infections in differences in HIV variation across populations.     

“Silenced” polydendrocytes: a new cell type within the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell population?

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) were first described more than two decades ago. Novel labeling techniques have shown them to be cells with more than just progenitor functions, with their classification as a fourth glial cell type in addition to astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglial cells. Another term used for this cell type is polydendrocytes, owing to both their morphology and to the evolving knowledge about their diverse functions. Recently, an exclusive hallmark of neurons—the generation of action potentials—became debatable, because a subset of polydendrocytes was reported to generate action potentials in response to adequate stimuli. The new technique of inducible reporter gene expression has brought new insights into the fate and function of polydendrocytes. In recent studies, so-called “silenced” OPCs were detected in cortical tissue, and which underwent proliferation with subsequent cell cycle exit, but without any signs of differentiation. Within this review, we focus on the identification of this new subset of polydendrocytes and their possible functions within cortical networks.     

Race and Ethnic Differences in Religious Involvement: African Americans, Caribbean Blacks and Non-Hispanic Whites

This study examined differences in religious participation and spirituality among African Americans, Caribbean Blacks (Black Caribbeans) and non-Hispanic Whites. Data are taken from the National Survey of American Life, a nationally representative study of African Americans, Black Caribbeans and non-Hispanic Whites. Selected measures of organizational, nonorganizational and subjective religious participation were examined. African American and Caribbean Blacks were largely similar in their reports of religious involvement; both groups generally indicated higher levels of religious participation than non-Hispanic Whites. African Americans were more likely than Black Caribbeans to be official members of their places of worship, engage in activities (choirs, church clubs) at their place of worship and request prayer from others. Black Caribbeans reported reading religious materials more frequently than African Americans. The discussion notes the importance of examining ethnic differences within the black American population of the United States.     

A model on liquid penetration into soft material with application to needle-free jet injection

A mathematical model has been presented for a high speed liquid jet penetration into soft solid by a needle-free injection system. The model consists of a cylindrical column formed by the initial jet penetration and an expansion sphere due to continuous deposition of the liquid. By solving the equations of energy conservation and volume conservation, the penetration depth and the radius of the expansion sphere can be predicted. As an example, the calculation results were presented for a typical needle-free injection system into which a silicon rubber was injected into. The calculation results were compared with the experimental results.

季节性冻融期间亚高山森林凋落物的质量损失及元素释放

季节性冻融期间的凋落物分解对季节性冻土区的森林生态系统过程可能具有重要的影响,但已有的研究报道很少.因此,采用凋落物分解袋法研究了岷江冷杉 (Abies faxoniana Rehder & E. H. Wilson)林和白桦(Betula platyphylla Sukaczev)林凋落叶的分解.一个季节性冻融期间,冷杉林和白桦林凋落物的质量损失率分别为(19.4 ±2.0)%和(21.5±3.5)%,约为1a中凋落物分解的64.5%和65.6%,表明季节性冻融对亚高山森林凋落物分解影响显著.冷杉凋落物中C、N、P、K、Ca和Mg的释放率为(15.0±1.0)%、(34.1±3.6)%、(17.0±0.9)%、(22.8±5.9)%、(20.1±0.1)%和(36.3±2.1)%,白桦凋落物中C、N、P、K、Ca和Mg的释放率为(20.7±0.1)%、(29.4±3.4) %、(15.7±1.3)%、(16.8±5.1)%、(21.3±1.8)%和(20.5±2 8)%.结合叶凋落物产量可以推断,冷杉林凋落物在一个季节性冻融期间释放到土壤的N、P、K、Ca、Mg为(10.17±1.14) kg · hm-2、(0.68±0.08) kg · hm-2、(4.08±0.46) kg · hm-2、(0.46±0.05) kg · hm-2、(0.09±0.01) kg · hm-2,白桦林为(5.61±1 12) kg · hm-2、(0.34±0.07) kg · hm-2、(1.21±0.24) kg · hm-2、(0.300±0.059) kg · hm-2、(0.051±0.010) kg · hm-2,这对于春季亚高山森林植物生长具有重要的生态学意义.
