Strongyle faecal egg output was estimated in N'Dama, Zebu and N'Dama x Zebu crossbred (F1) cattle. N'Dama cattle showed a significantly lower prevalence of strongyle infection, as measured by faecal egg output, than F1 (P < 0.01) and Zebu (P < 0.001) cattle. In strongyle-infected animals, mean egg output was also significantly lower in N'Damas (P < 0.03) than in Zebus. A previous trypanosomiasis infection did not affect the results. The presence of a natural resistance trait to strongyle infection in N'Dama cattle is postulated. 相似文献

AIMS: The aims of this study were to develop a sensitive and more rapid detection of Propionibacterium acidipropionici DH42 in silage and rumen fluid samples, and to explore its 16S rRNA sequence-based phylogeny. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used with DH42-specific primers dhb1 and dhb2 for the secondary amplification of a 1267-bp fragment of 16S rRNA encoding gene. Using the established protocols for PCR amplification, as low as 10(2) and 10(3) CFU ml(-1) of strain DH42 in silage extracts and rumen fluid, respectively, were detected. To determine phylogenetic relationships between DH42 and other representatives of Propionibacterineae, a 1529-bp fragment of its 16S rRNA was amplified by PCR and sequenced. The propionibacterium DH42 formed a cluster with Eubacterium combesii, P. acidipropionici and P. microaerophilus. CONCLUSIONS: 16S rRNA-based PCR detection technique was developed for DH42 in silage and rumen fluid samples. The 16S rRNA sequence confirmed the earlier identification of strain DH42 as P. acidipropionici. However, variable nucleotide positions were revealed. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Variability of 16S rRNA sequence within the species P. acidipropionici, determined in this study, poses the need of re-sequencing for some species of the suborder Propionibacterineae for a more reliable classification. 相似文献

Immunocytochemical study of the glucocorticoid receptor in rat liver nuclei after hyperthermic stress 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The presence of glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in rat liver nuclei over a 24 h time period following hyperthermic stress at 41 degrees C was immunocytologically studied using unfixed nuclear smears. Liver nuclei in unstressed animals were found to be immunonegative for GR. However, intense GR immunopositivity followed by a subsequent gradual decrease in receptor levels was observed in the nuclei of test animals during the first 2 h after stress. This stress-related increase in the receptor nuclear level was greater than the increase seen after dexamethasone administration. These results suggest that hyperthermic stress could potentiate the hormonal stimulation of receptor nuclear translocation. 相似文献

The epidermal growth factor-seven transmembrane (EGF-TM7) receptor CD97 is required for neutrophil migration and host defense 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Leemans JC te Velde AA Florquin S Bennink RJ de Bruin K van Lier RA van der Poll T Hamann J 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2004,172(2):1125-1131
The epidermal growth factor-seven transmembrane (EGF-TM7) family is a group of seven-span transmembrane receptors predominantly expressed by cells of the immune system. Family members CD97, EGF module-containing mucin-like receptor (EMR) 1, EMR2, EMR3, EMR4, and EGF-TM7-latrophilin-related protein are characterized by an extended extracellular region with a variable number of N-terminal EGF-like domains. EGF-TM7 receptors bind cellular ligands as demonstrated by the interaction of CD97 with decay accelerating factor (CD55) and dermatan sulfate. Investigating the effect of newly generated mAb on the migration of neutrophilic granulocytes, we here report for the first time in vivo data on the function of CD97. In dextran sulfate sodium-induced experimental colitis, we show that homing of adoptively transferred neutrophils to the colon was significantly delayed when cells were preincubated with CD97 mAb. The consequences of this defect in neutrophil migration for host defense are demonstrated in a murine model of Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced pneumonia. Mice treated with CD97 mAb to EGF domain 1 (1B2) and EGF domain 3 (1C5) displayed a reduced granulocytic inflammatory infiltrate at 20 h after inoculation. This was associated with a significantly enhanced outgrowth of bacteria in the lungs at 44 h and a strongly diminished survival. Together, these findings indicate an essential role for CD97 in the migration of neutrophils. 相似文献

We report on a 9-year-old female patient presenting with muscle weakness, facial dysmorphism and mild mental retardation. She had low birth weight, developmental delay, hypotonia and hyporeflexia and difficulties in climbing the stairs. EMG revealed axonal polyneuropathy affecting both upper and lower limbs. She was the child of non-consanguineous parents, her cytogenetic findings revealed 46,XX,t(12;14)(q14;q23). The mother's karyotype was normal 46,XX while the father's karyotype was 46,XY,t(12;14)(q14;q23) the same as his daughter. Her normal sister's karyotype was also 46,XX,t(12; 14) (q14;q23). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to elucidate the breakpoints and Array-CGH was done for the patient to confirm the balanced translocation. This observation is of interest because it represents a rare case of a balanced translocation with abnormal phenotype. Mutant genes causing axonal neuropathy have been located on various chromosomes other than 12q14 or 14q24. This report shows the importance of molecular cytogenetics and its correlation with abnormal phenotype and the possibility of another gene locus at the presently studied chromosomal breakpoints. Detailed correlations between chromosome aberrations and their phenotypes are of invaluable help in localising genes for axonal polyneuropathy. 相似文献

- 1. Retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (RpWAT) antioxidative defense was investigated in untreated, l-arginine-treated and Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME)-treated rats kept at 4±1 °C (1, 3, 7, 12, 21 and 45 days) and compared to control rats at 22±1 °C.
- 2. Cold-acclimation-induced RpWAT weight decrease was accompanied by a decline in glutathione level and increased activity of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase at different time-points.
- 3. l-arginine accelerated RpWAT weight decrease, the increase in MnSOD and GST activities and the prolonged increase of catalase, MnSOD and GST activities. l-NAME delayed cold-induced catalase activity increase and tissue weight decrease. Prolonged l-NAME-treatment had a similar effect on RpWAT as l-arginine.
- 4. Results suggest the involvement of l-arginine/NO pathway in RpWAT oxidative metabolic augmentation induced by cold-acclimation.

This paper shows a protocol for the detection of ZAP-70 expression in B-CLL (B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia) tumor cells
by common immunohistochemical methods. The study was conducted on bone marrow trephine biopsies from 62 B-CLL patients at
the time of diagnosis. Immunohistochemical reactions based on peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase reactions were used, as
well as double immunofluorescent labeling for ZAP-70 detection as an indirect marker of mutated and unmutated CLL. Clinical
relevance of the ZAP-70 expression detection method was assessed using χ
2 test between ZAP-70 positivity data and other known prognostic factors, i.e., clinical and cytogenetics data. ZAP-70 was
detected in 13 out of 62 patients. Statistically significant results were obtained for ZAP-70 positive cases and known indicators
of worse prognosis. Immunohistochemical analysis supported by double immunfluorescent labeling, as shown here, is an easy
and reliable technique for the detection of ZAP-70 expression in B-CLL tumor cells applicable in every hematopathology laboratory. 相似文献

In most patients with lung cancer radiation treatment is used either as single agent or in combination with radiosensitizing drugs. However, the mechanisms underlying combined therapy and its impact on different modes of cell death have not yet been fully elucidated. We aimed to examine effects of single and combined treatments with γ-rays and erlotinib on radioresistant CRL-5876 human lung adenocarcinoma cells with particular emphasis on cell death. CRL-5876 cells were treated with γ-rays and/or erlotinib and changes in cell cycle, DNA repair dynamics, ultrastructure, nuclear morphology and protein expression were monitored at different time points. To reveal the relationship between types of cell death that arise after these treatments, autophagy was blocked with chloroquine. We found that higher dose of γ-rays causes G2/M arrest while adding of erlotinib to this treatment decreases the number of cells in S phase. Impact of erlotinib on kinetics of disappearance of irradiation-induced DNA double strand breaks is reflected in the increase of residual γ-H2AX foci after 24 h. γ-rays provoke cytoprotective autophagy which precedes development of senescence. Erlotinib predominantly induces apoptosis and enlarges the number of apoptotic cells in the irradiated CRL-5876 cells. Chloroquine improved cytotoxicity induced by radiation and erlotinib, increased apoptosis and decreased senescence in the CRL-5876 cells. The results obtained on CRL-5876 cells indicate significant radiosensitizing effect of erlotinib and suggest that chloroquine in the combination with the above treatments may have an additional antitumor effect in lung adenocarcinoma. 相似文献
