To solve this problem, we developed a real-time PCR assay (SYBR Green I) to identify planulae in both cultured and natural seawater samples. Species-specific primers targeting Aurelia sp.1 mitochondrial 16S rDNA (mr 16S rDNA) regions were designed. Using a calibration curve constructed with plasmids containing the Aurelia sp. 1 mt 16S rDNA fragment and a standard curve for planulae, the absolute number of mt 16S rDNA copies per planula was determined and from that the total number ofplanulae per sample was estimated. For the field samples, a 100-fold dilution of the sample DNA combined with a final concentration of 0.2 μg/μL BSA in the PCR reaction mixture was used to remove real- time PCR inhibitors. Samples collected in Jiaozhou Bay from July to September 2012 were subsequently analyzed using this assay. Peak Aurelia sp.1 planula abundance occurred in July 2012 at stations near Hongdao Island and Qingdao offshore; abundances were very low in August and September. The real-time PCR assay (SYBR Green I) developed here negates the need for traditional microscopic identification, which is laborious and time-consuming, and can detect and quantify jellyfish planulae in field plankton samples rapidly and specifically.展开更多

Therefore, a rapid, reproducible, and sensitive method for detection and quantification of this pathogen is needed urgently. To achieve this purpose, we developed a TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay for detection and quantification orE. tarda. The assay targets the hemolysin activator HlyB domain protein of E. tarda. Our optimized TaqMan assay is capable of detecting as little as 40 fg of genomic DNA per reaction. A standard curve was generated from the threshold cycle values (y) against log10 (E. tarda genomic DNA concentration) as x. The intra- and inter-assay coefficient of variation (CV) values were less than 2.06% and 1.05% respectively, indicating that the assay had good reproducibility. This method is highly specific to E. tarda strains, as it shows no cross-reactivity to Edwardsiella ictaluri, a member of the same genus, or to nine other fish-pathogenic bacteria species belonging to three other genera. This sensitive and specific real-time PCR assay provides a valuable tool for diagnostic quantitation of E. tarda in clinical samples.展开更多

The positive rates of Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 gene in esophageal cancer were 13.4% (9/67) and 85.1% (57/67).The expression of Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 genes was signifi cantly related to di. erentiation, depth of infi ltration, lymph node metastasis, vessel metastasis, and TNM stages of disease (P 〈 0.05). In an attempt to measure the association between the 2 agents, this study found that the expression of Syndecan-1 mRNA had a significantly negative correlation with the expression of Heparanase-1 mRNA by using Spearman rank correlation test (OR = -0.572, P 〈 0.001).CONCLUSION Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 play important roles in the invasion and metastasis of esophageal cancer. The reduction of Syndecan-1 and/or the increase of Heparanase-1 may influence the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors.Thus the combination assay of Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.展开更多

Methods: The total RNA was extracted from NPC cell line CNE-2 and tissues with Trizol and then been transcribed reversely to cDNA, a method of real time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR for detecting the expression of Survivin mRNA in NPC tissues had been established, in which chronic nasopharyn-gitis patients' nasopharynx tissues treated as control group. Results: The expression of Survivin mRNA all could be detected either in CNE-2 cells, NPC tissues or in chronic nasopharyngitis patients' nasopharynx tissues, and there was higher the expression level of Survivin mRNA in NPC tissues than which in chronic nasopharyngitis patients' nasopharynx tissues, the difference was significant (P 〈 0.01). The expression of Survivin mRNA could be detected both in stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ NPC, and there was no significant difference in relative quantifications of gene expression between these two groups (P 〉 0.05). There was no relationship between Survivin mRNA expression and age and sex of NPC patients (P 〉 0.05). Conclusion: Real time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR is a rapid, effective and high sensitive method for detecting the expression of Survivin mRNA in NPC tissues. The overexpression of Survivin mRNA may play some roles in pathogenesis of NPC.展开更多

Studies have demonstrated that appropriate internal control is needed to normalize target genes at transcription levels. However, many studies have shown that no single reference gene is universal for all strains under all experimental conditions. Thus, eight candidate reference genes of three different S. spinosa strains in two different cultures were studied to find suitable reference gene(sl. The number of amplification cycles of these candidate genes was calculated by BestKeeper, NormFinder and geNorm. The results indicated that the most suitable reference genes for normalization during the fermentation of S. spinosa were 16S rRNA and rbL13.展开更多
