L1 retroposons are represented in mice by subfamilies of interspersed
sequences of varied abundance. Previous analyses have indicated that
subfamilies are generated by duplicative transposition of a small number of
members of the L1 family, the progeny of which then become a major
component of the murine L1 population, and are not due to any active
processes generating homology within preexisting groups of elements in a
particular species. In mice, more than a third of the L1 elements belong to
a clade that became active approximately 5 Mya and whose elements are >
or = 95% identical. We have collected sequence information from 13 L1
elements isolated from two species of voles (Rodentia: Microtinae: Microtus
and Arvicola) and have found that divergence within the vole L1 population
is quite different from that in mice, in that there is no abundant
subfamily of homologous elements. Individual L1 elements from voles are
very divergent from one another and belong to a clade that began a period
of elevated duplicative transposition approximately 13 Mya. Sequence
analyses of portions of these divergent L1 elements (approximately 250 bp
each) gave no evidence for concerted evolution having acted on the vole L1
elements since the split of the two vole lineages approximately 3.5 Mya;
that is, the observed interspecific divergence (6.7%-24.7%) is not larger
than the intraspecific divergence (7.9%-27.2%), and phylogenetic analyses
showed no clustering into Arvicola and Microtus clades.

Maintenance of a high degree of biodiversity in homogeneous environments is poorly understood. A complex cheese starter culture with a long history of use was characterized as a model system to study simple microbial communities. Eight distinct genetic lineages were identified, encompassing two species: Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The genetic lineages were found to be collections of strains with variable plasmid content and phage sensitivities. Kill-the-winner hypothesis explaining the suppression of the fittest strains by density-dependent phage predation was operational at the strain level. This prevents the eradication of entire genetic lineages from the community during propagation regimes (back-slopping), stabilizing the genetic heterogeneity in the starter culture against environmental uncertainty. 相似文献

Irisin was first identified in muscle cells. We detected irisin immunoreactivity in various organs of the crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata). In the epidermis, irisin immunoreactivity was localized mainly in stratum basale, stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum layers; immunoreactivity was not observed in the stratum corneum. In the dermis, irisin was found in the external and internal root sheath, cortex and medulla of hair follicles, and in sebaceous glands. Irisin immunoreactivity was found in the neural retina and skeletal muscle fibers associated with the eye. The pineal and thyroid glands also exhibited irisin immunoreactivity. 相似文献

The genetic background of complex diseases is proposed to consist of several low-penetrance risk loci. Addressing this complexity likely requires both large sample size and simultaneous analysis of different predisposing variants. We investigated the role of four thrombosis genes: coagulation factor V (F5), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), protein C (PROC), and thrombomodulin (THBD) in cardiovascular diseases. Single allelic gene variants and their pair-wise combinations were analyzed in two independently sampled population cohorts from Finland. From among 14,140 FINRISK participants (FINRISK-92, n = 5,999 and FINRISK-97, n = 8,141), we selected for genotyping a sample of 2,222, including 528 incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) cases and random subcohorts totaling 786. To cover all known common haplotypes (>10%), 54 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped. Classification-tree analysis identified 11 SNPs that were further analyzed in Cox's proportional hazard model as single variants and pair-wise combinations. Multiple testing was controlled by use of two independent cohorts and with false-discovery rate. Several CVD risk variants were identified: In women, the combination of F5 rs7542281 x THBD rs1042580, together with three single F5 SNPs, was associated with CVD events. Among men, PROC rs1041296, when combined with either ICAM1 rs5030341 or F5 rs2269648, was associated with total mortality. As a single variant, PROC rs1401296, together with the F5 Leiden mutation, was associated with ischemic stroke events. Our strategy to combine the classification-tree analysis with more traditional genetic models was successful in identifying SNPs-acting either in combination or as single variants--predisposing to CVD, and produced consistent results in two independent cohorts. These results suggest that variants in these four thrombosis genes contribute to arterial cardiovascular events at population level. 相似文献

Selenoprotein S (SEPS1) is a novel candidate gene involved in the regulation of inflammatory response and protection from
oxidative damage. This study explored the genetic variation in the SEPS1 locus for an association with CVD as well as with
quantitative phenotypes related to obesity and inflammation. We used the case-cohort design and time-to-event analysis in
two separate prospectively followed population-based cohorts FINRISK 92 and 97 (n = 999 and 1,223 individuals, respectively) to study the associations of five single nucleotide polymorphisms with the risk
for coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke events. We found a significant association with increased CHD risk in
females carrying the minor allele of rs8025174 in the combined analysis of both cohorts [hazard ratio (HR) 2.95 (95% confidence interval: 1.37–6.39)]. Another variant,
rs7178239, increased the risk for ischemic stroke significantly in females [HR: 3.35 (1.66–6.76)] and in joint analysis of both sexes
and both cohorts [HR: 1.75 (1.17–2.64)]. These results indicate that variation in the SEPS1 locus may have an effect on CVD
morbidity, especially in females. This observation should stimulate further investigations of the role of this gene and protein
in the pathogenesis of CVD.

Skeletal abnormalities in neurofibromatosis type 1 syndrome (NF1) are observed in ~50% of patients. Here, we describe the phenotype of Nf1Ocl mouse model with Nf1‐deficient osteoclasts. Nf1Ocl mice with Nf1+/? or Nf1?/? osteoclasts in otherwise Nf1+/+ background were successfully generated by mating parental Nf1flox/flox and TRAP‐Cre mice. Contrary to our original hypothesis, osteoporotic or fragile bone phenotype was not observed. The µCT analysis revealed that tibial bone marrow cavity, trabecular tissue volume, and the perimeter of cortical bone were smaller in Nf1 mice compared to Nf1 control mice. Nf1 mice also a displayed narrowed growth plate in the proximal tibia. In vitro analysis showed increased bone resorption capacity and cytoskeletal changes including irregular cell shape and abnormal actin ring formation in Nf1?/? osteoclasts. Surprisingly, the size of spleen in Nf1 mice was two times larger than in controls and histomorphometric analysis showed splenic megakaryocytosis. In summary, Nf1Ocl mouse model presented with a mild but specific bone phenotype. This study shows that NF1‐deficiency in osteoclasts may have a role in the development of NF1‐related skeletal abnormalities, but Nf1‐deficiency in osteoclasts in Nf1+/+ background is not sufficient to induce skeletal abnormalities analogous to those observed in patients with NF1.

Interactions between anthropogenic disturbances and introduced and native species can shift ecological communities, potentially leading to the successful establishment of additional invaders. Since its discovery in New Jersey in 1988, the Asian shore crab (Hemigrapsus sanguineus) has continued to expand its range, invading estuarine and coastal habitats in eastern North America. In estuarine environments, H. sanguineus occupies similar habitats to native, panopeid mud crabs. These crabs, and a variety of fouling organisms (both NIS and native), often inhabit man-made substrates (like piers and riprap) and anthropogenic debris. In a series of in situ experiments at a closed dock in southwestern Long Island (New York, USA), we documented the impacts of these native and introduced crabs on hard-substrate fouling communities. We found that while the presence of native mud crabs did not significantly influence the succession of fouling communities compared to caged and uncaged controls, the presence of introduced H. sanguineus reduced the biomass of native tunicates (particularly Molgula manhattensis), relative to caged controls. Moreover, the presence of H. sanguineus favored fouling communities dominated by introduced tunicates (especially Botrylloides violaceous and Diplosoma listerianum). Altogether, our results suggest that H. sanguineus could help facilitate introduced fouling tunicates in the region, particularly in locations where additional solid substrates have created novel habitats. 相似文献
