Increment of hFIX expression with endogenous intron 1 in Vitro

This paper probes into the feasibility of increasing expression level of hFIX gene with endogenous intron 1 sequence.hFIX minigene was obtained with middle sequence truncated intron 1 inserted into the relative site of hFIX cDNA,and plasmid vector pKG5i‘IX,retroviral vector G1NaCi‘IX were constructed.These vectors were transduced into target cells of PA317,C2C12,primary rabbit skin fibroblasts (RSF) and primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF).The expression level of mixed colonies are PA317/pKG5i‘IX,151 ng/10^6 cells/24h;PA317/G1NaCi‘IX,308 ng/10^6 cells/24 h;C2C12/G1NaCi‘IX,186 ng/10^6 cells/24 h;RSF/G1NaCi‘IX,1929 ng/10^6 cells/24 h;HSF/G1NaCi‘IX,1646 ng/10^6 cells/24 h.These results indicated that hFIX minigene with intron l is able to increase the expression level to about 3 times of that of hFIX cDNA.Meanwhile,in order to study the application of hFIX minigene in the retroviral-mediated gene transfer system and refrain from intron splicing during viral production,a retroviral vector G1NaCi‘IXR with reversely inserted hFIX minigene expression cassette was constructed.The expression level of reverse constructor in PA317 cells was 390 ng/10^6 cells/24 h with 79% of bioactivity.PCR detection of HT/G1NaCi‘IXR cells infected with PA317/G1NaCi‘IXR supernatant confirmed the existence of intron 1 sequence.These results suggested that expression vector with forward-inserted intronl-carrying hFIX expression cassette can be used in directed gene transfer,but when using the retroviral-mediated gene transfer system,reversely-inserted intronl-carrying hFIX expression cassette should be considered.     

A preliminary analysis of antineoplastic activity of parvovirus MVMp NS—1 proteins

Human gastric cancer MKN-45 cells were transfected with pULB 3238,a plasmid carrying MVMp MS-1 gene with its original P4 promoter replaced by the glucocorticoid inducible promoter MMTV-LTR.After the integration and expression of NS-1 gene,some of the transfectants died,while others remained alive,but the growth features of survived cells were changed.For further study on the antineoplastic function of parvoviral NS-1 protein in vivo,transgenic mice carrying NS-1 genes were established by conventional method.Among 4 founders,one of them was found to be able to transmit the transgene to around 50% of their offsprings.RT-PCR was performed to indicate the expression of NS-1 gene in transgenic mice and its mRNA appeared in a variety of tissues.The expression of integrated NS-1 gene may correlate with the decreased incidence of tumor induced in vivo by chemical carcinogens.

Construction of expression vectors and study on single-chain antibody and reshaping single-domain antibody against CD3

Two vectors, pWAI80 and pROH80, for expression of single-chain Fv fragments (ScFv) were constructed. The anti-CD3 VH and VL genes were amplified from UCHT1 cells by RT-PCR and sequenced. Both genes were cloned in pWAI80 to express native ScFv and pROH80 for GST-ScFv fusion protein expression. The expression products were analysed by ELISA and Western blot. The combining site of OKT3 was modeled. Human Ig LS1 and Nd were selected as acceptors of CDRs of OKT3 VL and VH to construct a reshaping antibody against CD3. By comparing OKT3, LS1 and Nd with their own family sequences, some residues were changed and the reshaping VL and VH genes were designed. The full VH gene was assembled in three steps with eight chemically synthesized oligonucleotide fragments using overlapping PCR and sequenced. The VH gene was expressed as active protein in pCOMB3 and as inclusion bodies in pGEX-4T-1 by ELISA and Western blot analysis.

基于流域水环境响应的城市建设用地面积阈值模拟

城市扩张影响流域水环境质量.从水环境响应出发,模拟预测流域范围内城市建设用地的扩张阈值,可为城市建设用地规划提供客观依据.本文选取完全城市化的筼筜湖流域、半城市化的马銮湾流域和城市化起步阶段的杏林湾流域作为对比研究对象,结合2009—2012年实测数据,运用区域污染物管理模型(ReNuMa),计算3个流域水体污染物总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)环境容量上限,确定流域内城市建设用地面积阈值,并预测城市景观格局演变产生的水环境效应.结果表明: 筼筜湖、马銮湾和杏林湾的TN年负荷上限值分别为12900、42800和43120 kg,TP年负荷上限值分别为340、420和450 kg;现实情境下,筼筜湖水体污染物环境容量尚未饱和,马銮湾与杏林湾的污染物年负荷均接近上限值,杏林湾的TN和TP年负荷存在明显的上升趋势;3个流域污染物年负荷均在模拟情境1下未超标、情境3下超标,情境2下,筼筜湖污染物年负荷均未超标,而马銮湾TN与TP年负荷均处于超标;筼筜湖、马銮湾和杏林湾流域的城市建设用地面积阈值分别为1320、5600和4750 hm²,并据此提出景观格局调整对策建议.     

硼类化合物在滴眼剂中抑菌效力的探讨

探讨硼类化合物(硼酸、硼砂)在滴眼剂中的抑菌效力。通过实验设计不同浓度的硼酸、硼砂供试品组,测定其抑菌效力。结果表明,在牛磺酸滴眼剂品种中,3组供试品组对真菌组达到抑菌效力的判断标准。但在细菌组中,3组供试品组未达到抑菌效力判断标准。在氯霉素滴眼剂中,白色念珠菌98001、金黄色葡萄球菌26003、铜绿假单胞菌10104组均满足抑菌效力的判断标准,但对大肠埃希菌44102未体现出明显抑菌作用。硼类化合物(硼酸、硼砂)在1 mg/m L剂量下即具有一定的抑菌效力。因此在滴眼剂处方设计时,硼类化合物抑菌效力需被正视,同时需结合配伍注意控制使用剂量。

利用荧光PCR技术对Crispr/Cas9系统敲除的micro RNA 505小鼠进行鉴定,能快速检测出敲除小鼠的基因型,有效加快敲除小鼠基因功能验证的进程。首先,在Crispr/Cas9系统敲除的基因位点区域设计PCR引物,并在上游引物的5′端使用羟基荧光素(5-carboxyfluorescein,FAM)荧光修饰。模板经过PCR的扩增后,将PCR产物与已知片段大小的6-羧基-X-罗丹明琥珀酰亚胺酯(6-carboxy-X-rhodamine,ROX)混合,在377测序仪上通过聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分离。随后,根据相对分子质量内标法计算出PCR产物大小,从而达到鉴定小鼠基因型的目的。将上述荧光PCR技术应用于实践发现,两只奠基鼠、16只F1代小鼠以及26只F2代小鼠都能得到准确的鉴定,其中包括microRNA 505基因区段被敲除了17 bp和23 bp。因此,利用荧光PCR技术可以快速、准确地鉴定Crispr/Cas9敲除小鼠。
