远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系的建立及嵌合鼠的获得

ＥＳ细胞（ＥｍｂｒｙｏｎｉｃＳｔｅｍＣｅｌｌｓ）是来源于小鼠早期胚胎的多潜能干细胞,它可以在体外大量培养。并以单细胞的形式注射到早期胚胎里,发育为嵌合体。到目前为止,通常使用的１２９小鼠品系是来源于近交系（ｉｎｂｒｅｄ）小鼠的胚胎．与之相比,远交系小鼠应当具有较强的生命力和抗病能力。曾有人报道过建成了远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系,但是尚没有见到获得嵌合鼠的报道。有人甚至认为：由于不同品系小鼠所具有的遗传背景不同,有的小鼠不能建成ＥＳ细胞系。最近,本实验室在这方面做了有益的探索,成功地建成了远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系,并在这里报导首例用远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系培育成功嵌合体小鼠。采用源于Ｓｗｉｓｓ小鼠远交群的昆明（ＫＭ）品系小鼠囊胚建成了三个小鼠胚胎干细胞系（ＫＥ１．ＫＥ２．ＫＥ５）。核型正常率均达到７０％以上。自第八代起分批冻存,复苏后,培养至第１２代,消化成单细胞,通过囊胚显微注射,将其注射到６１５品系小鼠胚胎。在幸存的幼鼠中获得了一只来源于ＫＥ１细胞的嵌合鼠（Ｔａｂｌｅ１）．其毛色表现为受体鼠（６１５）的白色中嵌合有供体鼠（ＫＭ）的黑褐色（ＰｌａｔｅＩ－Ａ）．嵌合鼠与受体鼠的杂交后代鼠中仍然出现了受体鼠的毛色类型（     

The use of bulk segregant analysis to identify a RAPD marker linked to leaf rust resistance in barley

An F₂ population from a cross between barley accession Q21861 and the Australian barley variety Galleon was used to develop RAPD markers for resistance to barley leaf rust (Puccinia hordei). Resistant and susceptible DNA bulks were constructed following the classification of F₂ plants by leaf rust infection type. Bulked segregant analysis was then used to identify a 2.7-kb marker, designated OU02₂₇₀₀ and located approximately 12cM from RphQ, a leaf rust resistance gene in Q21861. The marker was generated by PCR with the oligonucleotide primer OPU-02 (Operon). Infection types of F₃ progeny were used to confirm assignment of F₂ genotypes. OU02₂₇₀₀ was shown, retrospectively, to be useful in the identification of individual F₂ plants that had been originally misclassified as having susceptible infection types. Both the RAPD marker and RphQ will be potentially useful in the development of new barley cultivars.     

不同环境下家蚕产量构成因素的通径分析及育种对策的探讨

利用52个家蚕品种在春秋两个季节的试验资料,对万头茧层量及其构成因素作了通径分析。结果表明:不同环境下,诸因素对万头茧层量的作用不完全相同,主要表现为幼虫生命率和茧层率在不同季节中的作用相对地变化。结合育种实践指出:(1)春用蚕品种的选育应在保证生命率的前提下努力提高茧层率和全茧量,而夏秋用品种的选育应在保证茧层率的前提下努力提高生命率和全茧量。 (2)为提高选择效果,春蚕期育种应以选择茧层率为主,夏秋期育种应以选择生命率为主。     

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in the pig pancreas: role of VIPergic nerves in control of fluid and bicarbonate secretion

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in the pig pancreas is localized to nerves, many of which travel along the pancreatic ducts. VIP stimulates pancreatic fluid and bicarbonate secretion like secretin. Electrical vagal stimulation in the pig causes an atropine-resistant profuse secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice. In an isolated perfused preparation of the pig pancreas with intact vagal nerve supply, electrical vagal stimulation caused an atropine-resistant release of VIP, which accurately parallelled the exocrine secretion of juice and bicarbonate. Perfusion of the pancreas with a potent VIP-antiserum inhibited the effect of vagal stimulation on the exocrine secretion. It is concluded, that VIP is responsible for (at least part of) the neurally controlled fluid and bicarbonate secretion from the pig pancreas.     

In vitro stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity in immature embryonic chick pelvic cartilage by adenosine

Cyclic AMP content in embryonic chick pelvic cartilage increases significantly as the embryo ages from 8 to 10 d. This in ovo elevation in cyclic AMP content precedes maximal cartilage alkaline phosphatase activity by some 24 h. We studied whether this temporal relationship may be causally related, using an in vitro organ culture. Incubation of pelvic cartilage from 9- and 10-d embryos in medium containing monobutyryl cyclic AMP (BtcAMP) resulted in significant increases in alkaline phosphatase activity (220 and 66 percent, respectively) as compared to that of cartilages incubated in medium alone. This stimulation was both concentration- and time-dependent with maximal response at 0.5 mM BtcAMP and 4-h incubation, respectively. Similar incubations of cartilage in medium containing 1-methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine (MIX), 0.25 mM, also resulted in increased alkaline phosphatase activity (114 percent). However, pelvic cartilage from 11-d embryos incubated in medium containing BtcAMP or MIX showed no increase in alkaline phosphatase activity. We postulated that developmental age was the factor responsible for this difference in response and that immature cartilage (that with little or no alkaline phosphatase activity) would respond to BtcAMP whereas mature cartilage (that with significant alkaline phosphatase activity) would not. This was tested by incubating end sections of 11-d cartilage, which have little alkaline phosphatase activity, and center sections, which have significantly alkaline phosphatase activity, with both BtcAMP and MIX. Alkaline phosphatase activity in end sections (immature cartilage) was stimulated by BtcAMP and MIX, whereas it was not stimulated in the center sections. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide inhibited BtcAMP and MIX stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity. Thus, the in vitro data suggest that cyclic AMP is a mediator for the stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity in embryonic cartilage.     

On the sensitivity of metallothioneins to oxidation during isolation.

It is demonstrated that the distribution of metals among the Sephadex G-75 fractions of rat liver and horse kidney supernatant is altered by exposure to oxidizing conditions. In particular, the metals bound to metallothionein are displaced into high-molecular-weight fractions and, to a lesser extent, into the low-molecular-weight forms, under aerobic conditions. In this process, metallothionein zinc is much more labile than cadmium. An appreciable proportion of the thionein is also found in the high-molecular-weight fractions and can be recovered along with the metals by treatment with mercaptoethanol. This result shows that the distributions obtained aerobically with large cadmium content in the high-molecular-weight fractions are an artefact due to metallothionein oxidation and suggests that 'spillage' of metals such as cadmium may be due in large part to oxidative processes rather than saturation effects. Evidence is presented that disulphide-bond formation occurs as thionein becomes bound in the high-molecular-weight region and that chemical reduction is necessary to restore its normal elution behaviour. Mercaptoethanol added to the homogenates maintains the reducing conditions normally found in the cellular milieu and prevents the oxidation of the metallothionein redistribution of the metals during isolation. Under these conditions the rat liver metallothionein isolated from animals exposed to chronic low concentrations of cadmium in drinking water contains appreciable quantities of copper as well as zinc and contains much of the zinc that is present in horse kidney supernatants. Metallothionein can also be extracted from a 40 000g pellet after sonication of the pellet. Thus careful analytical studies of the sites of cadmium deposition in rat liver indicate that greater than 95% is bound to metallothionein.     

X-Linked mental retardation with fragile X. a pedigree showing transmission by apparently unaffected males and partial expression in female carriers

Summary A large family is reported in which mental retardation associated with the fragile site at Xq28 was found. Three normal males seemed to have transmitted the trait through their daughters to affected grandchildren.A total of 19 family members were investigated cytogenetically. Mentally retarded males showed macroorchidism and the fragile X. Three mentally retarded females were found, with the fragile X in a high percentage of cells; in contrast, the obligate carriers showed no or only few cells with the fragile X.
