猪圆环病毒PCR检测方法的优化

猪圆环病毒(Porcine circovirus,PCV)为无囊膜的单股负链DNA病毒,是目前发现的最小的动物病毒,大小约为17nm[1]。PCV根据抗原性及基因组的不同可以分为PCV1和PCV2两种基因型,PCV1分离自猪肾细胞系PK15,它不致病,能够在PK15中稳定存在而不形成细胞病变;PCV2对猪有致病性,可引起猪断奶后多系统衰竭综合征(PMWS)、猪皮炎与肾病综合征(PDNS)、断奶猪和育肥猪的呼吸道疾病、猪的繁殖障碍等疾病。近年来已成为严重危害我国养猪业的主要疾病之一。但迄今为止市场上还没有商品化疫苗和特效药物防治该病,并且该病有时呈亚临床感染,所以…     

Duck Pancreatic Acinar Cell as a Unique Model for Independent Cholinergic Stimulation–Secretion Coupling

This paper investigated the role of acetylcholine (ACh) in physiological regulation of amylase secretion in avian exocrine pancreas. In the isolated duck pancreatic acini, ACh dose dependently stimulated amylase secretion, with a maximal effective concentration at 10 μM. The cAMP-mobilizing compounds forskolin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)/pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) receptor (VPAC) agonists PACAP-38 and PACAP-27 had no effect on the dose–response curve. ACh dose dependently induced increases in cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺] _c ), with increasing concentrations transforming oscillations into plateau increases. Forskolin (10 μM), PACAP-38 (1 nM), PACAP-27 (1 nM), or VIP (10 nM) alone did not stimulate [Ca²⁺] _c increase; neither did they modulate ACh-induced oscillations, nor made ACh low concentration effective. These data indicate that ACh-stimulated zymogen secretion in duck pancreatic acinar cells is not subject to modulation from the cAMP signaling pathway; whereas it has been widely reported in the rodents that ACh-stimulated exocrine pancreatic secretion is significantly enhanced by cAMP-mobilizing agents. This makes the duck exocrine pancreas unique in that cholinergic stimulus-secretion coupling is not subject to cAMP regulation.     

Exogenous leptin promotes the recovery of regressed ovary in fasted ducks

The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of administered recombinant mouse leptin on the recovery of regressed ovary in fasted ducks. Twenty-eight ducks were divided into five groups: fed ad libitum (control; n = 5), fasted control (FC; n = 5), fasted + low dose of leptin (F + L; n = 5), fasted + medium dose of leptin (F + M; n = 5) and fasted + high dose of leptin (F + H; n = 3). All four fasted groups were fasted for 2 days and then ad libitum and the ducks were treated with leptin at doses of 0 (control and FC), 50 (F + L), 250 (F + M) and 1000 (F + H) μg/kg body weight/day on day 3–5. Results showed that a moderate dose of leptin (250 μg/kg body weight/day) injected during the re-feeding period: (i) promoted the recovery of the regressed ovary as evidenced by an increase in ovary weight and recovery of yellow hierarchical follicles; (ii) elevated the plasma 17β-estradiol (E₂) level; (iii) increased the mRNA levels of ovary follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and estrogen receptor-β (ER-β). Furthermore, the results also showed that a high dose of leptin (1000 μg/kg body weight/day) may have a negative effect on the recovery of the regressed ovary. In conclusion, this study indicates that, in ducks, leptin may be involved in the recovery of the regressed ovary caused by 2 days of fasting. This effect may be related to increased plasma E₂ levels and stimulation of the mRNA levels of ovarian FSHR, LHR and especially ER-β.

Complete Genomic Sequence of a Chinese Isolate of Duck Hepatitis Virus

The complete genomic sequence of Duck hepatitis virus 1(DHV-1) ZJ-V isolate was sequenced and determined to be 7 691 nucleotides(nt) in length with a 5'-terminal un-translated region(UTR) of 626 nt and a 3'-terminal UTR of 315 nt(not including the poly(A) tail).One large open reading frame(ORF) was found within the genome(nt 627 to 7 373) coding for a polypeptide of 2 249 amino acids.Our data also showed that the poly(A) tail of DHV-1 has at least 22 A's.Sequence comparison revealed significant homology(from 91.9% to 95.7%) between the protein sequences of the ZJ-V isolate and those of 21 reference isolates.Although DHV-1 has been classified as an unassigned virus in the Picornaviridae family,its genome showed some unique characteristics.DHV-1 contains 3 copies of the 2A gene and only 1 copy of the 3B gene,and its 3'-NCR is longer than those of other picornaviruses.Phylogenetic analysis to do sequence homology based on the VP1 protein sequences showed that the ZJ-V isolate shares high sequence homology with the reported DHV-1 isolates(from 92.9% to 99.2%),indicating that DHV-1 is genetically stable.

Akirin2 could promote the proliferation but not the differentiation of duck myoblasts via the activation of the mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway

The Akirin gene family normally contains two members that are essential to myoblast differentiation. Noticeably, the avian Akirin gene family comprises only one gene (Akirin2), However, it remains unknown whether avian Akirin gene family still has the function of Akirin1; moreover, it is still unclear whether and how Akirin2 plays a role in myoblast proliferation and differentiation. Interestingly, the unexpected functions of duck Akirin2 were revealed in the present study. The Real-time PCR results showed that between 12 and 48 h during the process of duck myoblasts differentiation, the overexpression of Akirin2 did not significantly increase the expression of myogenic regulatory factors. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the cell cycle transition was accelerated by Akirin2 overexpression. Moreover, the overexpression of Akirin2 did not influence the myotube formation. Strikingly, when duck myoblasts were cultured in the growth medium, the overexpression of Akirin2 significantly enhanced cell viability. Although the expression of cyclin-dependent proteins did not significantly increase after transfection, the expression of the mammalian targets of rapamycin (mTOR) and p70 S6 kinase (p70S6K) increased. Furthermore, the protein expression of phospho-p70S6K (Ser 417) also increased. However, when rapamycin and pEGFP-N1-Akirin2 plasmids were added together to the growth medium, the positive impact of Akirin2 on cell viability and the mRNA expression of mTOR and p70S6K were significantly blocked. Furthermore, the expression of phospho-mTOR (Ser 2448) and phospho-p70S6K (Ser 417) were also blocked. Taken together, these results could suggest that duck Akirin2 could promote myoblast proliferation via the activation of the mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway.
