Different applications of polymerases with and without proofreading activity in single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis

With the completion of the human genome project, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have become the focus of intense study in biomedical research. Polymerase-mediated primer extension has been employed in a variety of SNP assays. However, these SNP assays using polymerase without proofreading function are compromised by their low reliability. Using a newly developed short amplicon harboring restriction enzyme site, EcoR-I, we were able to compare the single-base discrimination abilities of polymerases with and without proofreading function in primer extension in a broad range of annealing temperatures. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrated a striking single-nucleotide discrimination ability of polymerases with proofreading function. Using unmodified 3'-end allele-specific primers, only template-dependent products were generated by polymerase with proofreading activity. This powerful single-base discrimination ability of exo(+) polymerases was further evaluated in primer extension using three types of 3' terminally modified allele-specific primers. As compared with the poor fidelity in primer extension of polymerases lacking 3' exonuclease activity, this study provides convincing evidence that the use of proofreading polymerases in combination with 3'-end modified allele-specific primers can be a powerful new strategy for the development of SNP assays.     

碘化钠对人甲状腺上皮细胞TNF-α、IL-1β分泌的影响

为研究碘化钠 (NaI)对人甲状腺上皮细胞 (TEC )分泌细胞因子TNF α和IL 1β的影响 ,以探讨碘在GD病 (GD )发病中的可能机制 ,取手术切除的GD病患者甲状腺组织和甲状腺腺瘤患者瘤旁正常甲状腺组织 ,进行细胞培养。以不同浓度的NaI (10 8～ 10 3 mol/L )刺激单层培养的甲状腺细胞 ,采用放射免疫测定技术测定刺激前后甲状腺细胞培养上清液中细胞因子TNF α和IL 1β的含量。同时以透射电镜观察NaI刺激后甲状腺细胞的形态学改变。结果 :(1)正常甲状腺细胞能分泌少量的TNF α和IL 1β。GD的甲状腺细胞TNF α和IL 1β的分泌量与正常TEC相比显著增加 (P <0 0 1) ;(2 )当NaI浓度为 10 8～10 3 mol/L时 ,正常人甲状腺细胞TNF α、IL 1β的分泌量与 0mol/L组相比无显著性差异 (P >0 0 5 ) ;透射电镜示正常甲状腺细胞无损伤型改变 ;(3)当NaI浓度为 10 6～ 10 3 mol/L时 ,GD甲状腺细胞TNF α的分泌量显著增加 (P <0 0 5 ) ;当NaI浓度为 10 8～ 10 3 mol/L时 ,GD甲状腺细胞IL 1β的分泌量显著增加 (P <0 0 5 )。NaI浓度超过 10 6mol/L时 ,透射电镜示GD甲状腺细胞出现损伤型改变。表明高浓度的碘不仅造成GD甲状腺细胞的直接损伤 ,而且可以增加甲状腺细胞细胞因子TNF α和IL 1β的分泌 ,特别是在GD甲状腺细

“肾虚络瘀，肾络癥瘕”病机观与肾间质纤维化中自噬不足的相关性

肾间质纤维化（RIF）是由多种病因导致慢性肾脏疾病的主要病理特征,结合中医“络病学说”“癥瘕理论”与现代医学肾脏病理特征,“肾虚络瘀,肾络癥瘕”是RIF的主要病机,正气亏虚,累及肾气,肾虚气化不利,痰热瘀毒等实邪阻滞肾络,相互胶结,形成癥瘕,积聚于肾络导致了RIF。自噬是细胞体内将受损或衰老的细胞器、变性的蛋白质等代谢产物进行降解与重吸收的过程,自噬参与了RIF发生的诸多环节,与RIF发生发展关系密切,将自噬与中医学结合研究发现,机体内生痰热瘀毒等实邪的代谢与自噬降解和重吸收功能相关,自噬在一定程度上是消除痰热瘀毒等实邪的方式,正气不足,累及肾气,肾虚气化不利,自噬功能不足,会引起痰热瘀毒等实邪累积,瘀阻肾络则易形成肾络癥瘕造成RIF,肾虚络瘀是自噬不足的基础,肾络癥瘕是自噬不足的微观病理表现,自噬不足与肾络癥瘕形成具有相同的病机演变,该文就RIF“肾虚络瘀,肾络癥瘕”病机,结合RIF-自噬病理机制,深入探讨“肾虚络瘀-自噬不足-肾络癥瘕”在RIF的相关性,全面诠释“肾虚络瘀,肾络癥瘕”病机的科学内涵,以期从中医理论阐述自噬在RIF中的作用研究奠定基础,为RIF的治疗及其机制研究提供新...
