Segregation of random amplified DNA markers in F1 progeny of conifers

Summary The recently developed approach to deriving genetic markers via amplification of random DNA segments with single primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence was tested for its utility in genetic linkage mapping studies with conifers. Reaction conditions were optimized to reproducibly yield clean and specific amplification products. Template DNA from several genotypes of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and white spruce (Picea glauca) were tested against eight ten-base oligonucleotide primers. Most of the tested primer/parent tree combinations yielded polymorphic PCR products (RAPD markers). Selected primers were then used in PCR reactions with template DNA isolated from offspring in Douglas-fir and black spruce diallel crosses among the same parental lines. The diallel study confirmed the appropriate inheritance of RAPD markers in the F₁ generation. The value of these dominant RAPD markers for genetic linkage mapping in trees was established from both theoretical and applied perspectives.     

NOVEL MARKERS FOR CONSTITUTIVE SECRETION USED TO SHOW THAT TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR IS SORTED TO THE REGULATED PATHWAY IN TRANSFECTED PC12 CELLS

The rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 contains two distinct pathways of protein secretion. Proteins secreted via the regulated pathway are stored in secretory vesicles and exocytosed only in response to a specific signal, whereas proteins secreted via the constitutive pathway are exported continuously. Analysis of regulated secretion of a heterologous protein in this system often relies on comparison of secretion rates with those of endogenous proteins known to be secreted via the constitutive route. In order to improve these controls, we have evaluated a number of secreted enzymes, selected for the sensitivity and convenience of their assays, as transgenic markers for the constitutive pathway. We show that both human-secreted placental alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) and bacterial β-lactamase operate in this way in transfected PC12 cells. In contrast, transfected human tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is shown to be sorted to the regulated pathway.

目的:探讨三维适形放疗联合吉西他滨及多西他赛(GT)化疗方案对晚期膀胱癌患者免疫功能、生活质量及肿瘤标志物水平的影响。方法:选取2015年3月~ 2018年8月期间我院收治的晚期膀胱癌患者98例,采用随机数字表法将患者分为两组,其中对照组49例患者,接受GT化疗,观察组49例患者,三维适形放疗联合GT化疗,均以4周为1个疗程,治疗4个疗程。观察两组治疗4个疗程后的疗效以及不良反应发生情况,对比两组治疗前、治疗4个疗程后的免疫功能、生活质量及肿瘤标志物水平,随访2年,观察两组患者生存率。结果:观察组的临床总有效率为53.06%(26/49),高于对照组的30.61%(15/49),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组不良反应发生率组间对比差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗4个疗程后,与对照组相比,观察组的CD8⁺更低,CD3⁺、CD4⁺、CD4⁺/CD8⁺更高(P<0.05)。治疗4个疗程后,与对照组相比,观察组的膀胱肿瘤抗原(BTA)、核基质蛋白22(NMP22)、尿膀胱癌抗原(UBC)更低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗4个疗程后,与对照组相比,观察组的物质功能、心理功能、社会功能、躯体功能各维度评分及总分更高(P<0.05)。观察组的生存率高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:三维适形放疗联合GT化疗可有效阻止晚期膀胱癌患者疾病进展,减轻免疫抑制,同时治疗期间不会增加不良反应发生率,可促进患者生活质量改善,疗效可靠。     

BLCA-4 在膀胱癌中作用的研究进展

摘要：近年来,膀胱癌的发病率与死亡率呈逐年上升,已成为泌尿系统最常见的肿瘤。随着分子生物技术的不断发展,核基质蛋白 (NMPs)、膀胱肿瘤抗原(BTA)、透明质酸和透明质酸酶(HA-HAase)、细胞角蛋白(CK)等诸多膀胱肿瘤标志物被发现。其中,膀胱癌 特异性核基质蛋白-4(BLCA-4)是一种可溶性的复合物,在正常膀胱组织中不表达而存在于膀胱癌组织中。检测尿样中BLCA-4 水平有望用于膀胱癌的筛查及诊断,具有较高的敏感性和特异性,也可用于普通人群与膀胱癌高危人群(脊髓损伤患者)的筛选与 检测;而术后病理组织检测BLCA-4 的表达也可为膀胱癌患者的预后预测提供参考。本文对近年来BLCA-4 在膀胱癌中的作用进 行了综述。     

Genetic diversity in Chinese modern wheat varieties revealed by microsatellite markers

Genetic diversity of 1680 modern varieties in Chinese candidate core collections was analyzed at 78 SSR loci by fluorescence detection system. A total of 1336 alleles were detected, of which 1253 alleles could be annotated into 71 loci. For these 71 loci, the alleles ranged from 4 to 44 with an average of 17.6, and the PIC values changed from 0.19 to 0.89 with an average of 0.69. (1) In the three genomes of wheat, the average genetic richness was B>A>D, and the genetic diversity indexes were B>D>A. (2) Among the seven homoeologous groups, the average genetic richness was 2=7>3>4>6>5>1, and the genetic diversity indexes were 7>3>2>4>6>5>1. As a whole, group 7 possessed the highest genetic diversity, while groups 1 and 5 were the lowest. (3) In the 21 wheat chromosomes, 7A, 3B and 2D possessed much higher genetic diversity, while 2A, 1B, 4D, 5D and 1D were the lowest. (4) The highest average genetic diversity index existed in varieties bred in the 1950s, and then it declined continually. However, the change tendency of genetic diversity among decades was not greatly sharp. This was further illustrated by changes of the average genetic distance between varieties. In the 1950s it was the largest (0.731). Since the 1960s, it has decreased gradually (0.711, 0.706, 0.696, 0.695). The genetic base of modern varieties is becoming narrower and narrower. This should be given enough attention by breeders and policy makers.

微卫星位点BEM06与BEM23鉴别烟粉虱B型与Q型的有效性

烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) B型与Q型是烟粉虱复合种中入侵性较强、分布较广的2种生物型, 当前在许多地区混合发生。这2种生物型的快速鉴别对其种群动态调查及入侵生态学研究具有重要价值。为了验证微卫星位点BEM06与BEM23鉴别B型与Q型烟粉虱的有效性, 本研究分析了这2个微卫星位点的等位基因在国内外17个B型、4个Q型、3个非B/Q型烟粉虱种群的分布特点。结果表明: 这2个微卫星位点的联合使用可鉴别B型与Q型烟粉虱, 但是无法有效地将B型、Q型与一些非B/Q型烟粉虱某些个体区分开来。结果提示: 利用微卫星位点BEM06与BEM23鉴别B型与Q型烟粉虱具有一定的局限性, 尤其是田间烟粉虱存在其他生物型时需要慎重使用这种鉴别方法。
