Modification of alternative splicing in bovine somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos using engineered CRISPR-Cas13d

Animal cloning can be achieved by somatic cell nuclear transfer(SCNT), but the resulting live birth rate is relatively low. We previously improved the efficiency of bovine SCNT by exogenous melatonin treatment or by overexpression of lysine-specific demethylase 4D(KDM4D) and 4E(KDM4E). In this study, we revealed abundant alternative splicing(AS) transitions during fertilization and embryonic genome activation, and demonstrated abnormal AS in bovine SCNT embryos compared with in vitro fertilized ...

ITMSQ: A software tool for N‐ and C‐terminal fragment ion pairs based isobaric tandem mass spectrometry quantification

Tandem MS (MS2) quantification using the series of N‐ and C‐terminal fragment ion pairs generated from isobaric‐labelled peptides was recently considered an accurate strategy in quantitative proteomics. However, the presence of multiplexed terminal fragment ion in MS2 spectra may reduce the efficiency of peptide identification, resulting in lower identification scores or even incorrect assignments. To address this issue, we developed a quantitative software tool, denoted isobaric tandem MS quantification (ITMSQ), to improve N‐ and C‐terminal fragment ion pairs based isobaric MS2 quantification. A spectrum splitting module was designed to separate the MS2 spectra from different samples, increasing the accuracy of both identification and quantification. ITMSQ offers a convenient interface through which parameters can be changed along with the labelling method, and the result files and all of the intermediate files can be exported. We performed an analysis of in vivo terminal amino acid labelling labelled HeLa samples and found that the numbers of quantified proteins and peptides increased by 13.64 and 27.52% after spectrum splitting, respectively. In conclusion, ITMSQ provides an accurate and reliable quantitative solutionfor N‐ and C‐terminal fragment ion pairs based isobaric MS2 quantitative methods.     

植酸酶高产菌株的诱变选育

无花果曲霉是一种可以产植酸酶的菌株,其代谢产物植酸酶可以将有机植酸磷降解为无机磷。以此菌株为出发菌株,确定了它的最适pH值为1.3~1.4,最适温度为55~60℃。同时,为获得高酶活的突变株,进行亚硝基胍和紫外线处理,经初筛得到99株高效突变株,再经复筛和传代试验,得到1株植酸酶活性是出发菌株2.47倍的突变株NTG-23。     

PBI-SUR-TK载体靶向介导HSV-TK自杀基因诱导肝癌细胞凋亡

目的:构建Survivin启动子调控的表达载体,并检测在启动子调控下HSV-TK自杀基因对肝癌细胞HepG₂和正常肝细胞HL-7702凋亡的影响。方法:合成含TK基因的质粒PBI-SUR-TK,利用脂质体Lipofectamine 2000将其导入肝癌细胞和肝细胞。然后分别运用RT-PCR和Western blot特异性检测基因和蛋白的表达情况;利用CCK8方法检测细胞增殖情况,流式细胞仪上机检测细胞凋亡情况。结果:肝癌细胞转染组有更多的TK基因表达产物,增殖情况减弱,凋亡情况明显。结论:Survivin启动子驱动的HSV-TK/GCV自杀基因系统对肝癌可能有一定的治疗作用。     

江西省弋阳叠山书院园林变迁钩沉——基于元明清社会环境视角

采用文献考证法、田野调查法与逻辑演绎法,以元明清社会环境为视角,分析弋阳叠山书院园林变迁及其动力。自元代至清代,从变迁形式来看,书院园林选址从郊野山林迁入为城市高胜地,布局从单轴线前祀后学的建筑空间形态发展成双轴多进深多院落的园林空间形态,园林文化从以儒学文化为主转变为儒道释俗文化共存。从变迁动力来看,政治环境和经济支持是书院园林建设发展的基础,政体态度决定了书院园林存亡及其社会意义,经济支持在书院维系和官学化方面具有显著影响力,文化环境受政治环境影响,包容的政治环境允许延续宋儒品格,严苛的政治环境禁锢自由文风,因此文化环境对书院园林的选址、空间布局与文化确立起到关键作用力。

镉离子诱导BA/F3β细胞发生奇特的细胞凋亡

细胞凋亡一般都伴随有ＤＮＡ 片段化, 活性氧含量增加, 并能被过量的Ｂｃｌ２ 所抑制。以ＢＡ／Ｆ３β细胞为模型, 利用ＭＴＴ 检测、Ｈｏｃｈｅｓｔ 染色以及透射电镜检测等技术却发现, 镉离子虽然可以诱导该细胞凋亡, 但是这种凋亡没有ＤＮＡ 片段化, 也没有活性氧含量增加。此外, 过量Ｂｃｌ２ 对这种凋亡也没有保护作用。因此, 可以确认镉离子诱导ＢＡ／Ｆ３β细胞发生了奇特的细胞凋亡。
