In the present study, we observed the effects of transfecting three amyloid precursor-like protein 2 （APLP2） C-terminal fragments （CTFs; C57, C50 and C31） in the pEGFP-N1 vector on S100A9 expression in BV2 cells. Reverse transcription-PCR, western blot assay and immunocytochemistry revealed that S100A9 protein and mRNA expression was greater in BV2 cells after CTF transfection than after mock transfection with an empty vector. Furthermore, transfection of full-length APLP2-751 resulted in low levels of S100A9 protein ex-pression. Our results show that APLP2-CTFs upregulate S100A9 protein and mRNA expression in BV2 cells, and identify a novel pathway involved in neuronal injury and apoptosis, and repair and protection in Alzheimer’s disease.展开更多
The 5′ nonencoding region, p23 and p14 encoding region and E1 gene of hog cholera virus (HCV) strain C were amplified from total RNA extracted from HCV strain C infected rabbit spleen by reverse transcription and nes...The 5′ nonencoding region, p23 and p14 encoding region and E1 gene of hog cholera virus (HCV) strain C were amplified from total RNA extracted from HCV strain C infected rabbit spleen by reverse transcription and nested or half\_nested PCR. The PCR products were cloned into pGEM\|T vector. Nucleotide sequencing was performed using an ABI PRISM sequencing device; based on the incorporation of fluoresect labelled dideoxynuclotide teminators. The obtained sequences on 5′ noncoding region and part of p23 and p14 encoding region were compared with HCV strains Shimen and C sequenced in Moormann’s lab. The result showed that the homology between HCV strains C sequenced in this report and in Moormann’s lab was 99.19%, and the homology between HCV strains Shimen, the standard virulent HCV strain in China, and C sequenced in this report was 94.69%. It was also discovered that the base C at 244 of the genome of HCV strains Shimen and C sequenced in this report was absent at the genome of C strain sequenced in Moormann’s lab et al.展开更多
