【目的】研究不同剂量大豆异黄酮对大鼠肝脏脂肪酸代谢的影响并对其机理进行探讨。【方法】试验选取40只6周龄SD大鼠并随机分为对照组和低、中、高剂量组,每组10只。将不同剂量的大豆异黄酮(0、50、250、500 mg/kg)连续4周经口灌胃并记录大鼠每周体重变化;利用荧光定量PCR检测大鼠肝脏中固醇调节元件结合蛋白1(SREBP-1c)、乙酰辅酶A羧化酶α(ACC1)、脂肪酸合成酶(FAS)、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α(PPARα)以及甘油三酯水解酶(ATGL)mRNA表达水平。【结果】与对照组相比,中、高剂量组大鼠体重极显著(P<0.01)降低并呈剂量依赖性;低剂量组甘油三酯含量显著下降(P<0.05),中剂量组总胆固醇、甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白含量显著下降(P<0.05),高剂量组甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白含量极显著下降(P<0.01);肝脏HE染色未见异常病理变化,油红O染色可见中、高剂量组脂滴明显减少;低剂量组大鼠肝脏中FAS、ACC1 mRNA表达量显著降低(P<0.01),中、高剂量组FAS、SREBP-1C和ACC-1mRNA表达量显著降低(P<0.05或P<0.01),而PPARα和ATGL mRNA表达量显著升高(P<0.05或P<0.01)。【结论】大豆异黄酮可通过抑制SREBP-1c、ACC1和FAS,增加ATGL和PPARα的基因表达,从而影响肝脏脂肪酸代谢。

内质网膜复合亚基3调控内质网应激影响人畸胎瘤细胞的存活

内质网膜蛋白复合物(endoplasmic reticulum membrane complex, EMC)在跨膜蛋白质的生物发生和膜整合中发挥重要作用。内质网膜复合亚基3(endoplasmic reticulum membrane complex 3,EMC3)是EMC的重要组成部分,但其在生殖细胞中发挥的作用未见报道。本研究通过实时荧光定量PCR法检测18周龄小鼠睾丸、肺、脾、下丘脑组织中的EMC3 mRNA表达水平差异。结果显示,小鼠睾丸中EMC3 mRNA表达水平较高。体外培养人畸胎癌细胞NCCIT,通过不同浓度衣霉素诱导细胞产生内质网应激(endoplasmic reticulum stress, ERS),应用实时荧光定量PCR法、蛋白质印迹法检测其中EMC3、葡萄糖调节蛋白78(glucose regulatory protein, GRP78)、CCAAT-增强子结合蛋白同源蛋白(CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein, CHOP)的mRNA及其蛋白质表达水平。结果显示,相对于对照组,EMC3、GRP78、CHOP的mRNA与蛋白质水平表达极显著升高(P<0.01),表明衣霉素成功诱导了NCCIT细胞产生内质网应激,EMC3在衣霉素诱导的内质网应激的精原细胞中,mRNA与蛋白质水平表达升高。以NCCIT细胞cDNA为模板,利用PCR法扩增EMC3基因片段,并将其与pRK5-myc载体连接,构建pRK5-myc-EMC3重组质粒,经双酶切鉴定及DNA测序表明:pRK5-myc-EMC3重组质粒构建成功。将重组质粒和空载体分别转染至NCCIT细胞中进行表达,应用实时荧光定量PCR法与CCK8法检测细胞中GRP78、CHOP的mRNA转录水平以及细胞活力。结果显示,EMC3转染组的GRP78、CHOP的mRNA水平表达显著升高(P<0.05),细胞活性极显著降低(P<0.01),表明EMC3可以在NCCIT细胞中调控内质网应激并抑制细胞存活的发生。综上表明,过表达EMC3能够在精原细胞中调控内质网应激抑制细胞存活,EMC3可能在精原细胞的内质网应激中发挥重要作用。

Molecular Clone, Expression, and Prediction of Construction and Function to Key Genes of Interleukin Family of Porcine

This research was to clone, express, and analyze the structure and function of major molecules of porcine interleukin family. Genes of porcine interleukin family were cloned by RT-PCR from stimulated porcine PBMC by LPS and PHA, and then expressed in E. coli, and the structure and function of these molecules were predicted by ExPASY. The results showed that genes of IL-4, IL-6, and IL-18 were successfully cloned and expressed. Furthermore, the expression products of recombinant IL-4 and IL-6 both have multiple biological activities. By analyzing these genes with the NCBI/GenBank data, the homologies of the nucleotide acid sequence are 99.25, 99.21, and 100%, respectively, and have great species differences when compared with other animal species. The results of the prediction showed that all these molecules contain several phosphorylation, glycosylation, protein kinase, and signal transduction bonding sites in secondary structure, and all are compact globularity protein in space configuration. These characteristics of structure are the basis for their multiple biological functions. The genes, structure and function of key molecular of porcine interleukin family were successfully cloned, expressed, and analyzed in this paper.

Alphaherpesvirus-vectored vaccines against animal diseases: Current progress

Recombinant virus-vectored vaccines are novel agents that can effectively activate specific and nonspecific immunity,are multivalent and multieffective,and have high safety ratings.Animal alphaherpesviruses have a large genome,contain multiple nonessential regions that do not affect viral replication and are capable of accepting the insertion of an exogenous gene and expressing the antigen protein.Furthermore,animal alphaherpesviruses have a wide host spectrum,can replicate in the host and continuously stimulate the animal to produce immunity to the corresponding pathogen,thus making them ideal carriers for recombinant virus-vectored vaccines.With the development of gene-editing technology,recombinant viruses capable of expressing foreign genes can be constructed by various methods.Currently,studies on recombinant virusvectored vaccines constructed based on animal alphaherpesviruses have involved poultry,pigs,cattle,sheep,and companion animals.Studies have shown that the construction of recombinant animal alphaherpesviruses enables the acquisition of immunity to multiple diseases.This article mainly summarizes the current progress on animal alphaherpesvirus-vectored vaccines,aiming to provide reference for the development of new animal alphaherpesvirus-vectored vaccines.

Effects of Estrogen on ER, NGF, and ChAT Expression in Cerebellum of Aging Female Sprague-Dawley Rat

This article discusses the effects of estrogen on the expression of estrogen receptor （ER）, nerve growth factor （NGF）, and choline acetyltransferase （CHAT） in the cerebellum of rats. The model of aging female rat was established to study the expression and distribution of ER, NGF, and ChAT in the cerebellum following 17β-estradiol treatment using the technique of immunohistochemical ultrasensitive SP in sprague-dawley rat. The immunoreactive productions were distributed in stratum Purkinje cell, nucleus dentatus, nucleus interpositus, and nucleus fastigii of cerebellum, and the ER positive production was mainly located in the plasma, cytoplasmic membrane, and neurite, and also existed in nucleus. The general tendency of the expression of ER, NGF, and ChAT positive production in the cerebellum cortex and nuclei of aging rat significantly decreases, while the intensity and quantity of the immunoreactive production ascends predominantly after 17β-estradiol treatment. Simultaneously, the positive neurite of Purkinje cell shows a similar tendency. The above- mentioned results suggest that the estrogen upregulates the expression of NGF and CHAT, and plays a vital role in sustaining and protecting the structure and function of cerebellum neurons. Furthermore, the similarity of their changing tendency implies that they were correlated and cooperated during the course in effect of estrogen on cerebellum. It also showed that the action of estrogen in cerebellum could be via genomic and nongenomic mechanism.
