Transformation of Penicillium chrysogenum using the Aspergillus nidulans amdS gene as a dominant selective marker

Summary The Aspergillus nidulans acetamidase gene (amdS) has been used to transform Penicillium chrysogenum at low frequency. Several transformants were tested and shown to be mitotically stable. Southern blot analysis indicated that transforming DNA had integrated into the chromosomal DNA, possibly at multiple sites.     

Identification of a cis-acting positive regulatory element of the glial fibrillary acidic protein gene

Developmental regulation of astrocyte-specific expression of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene reflects transition of immature glioblasts to mature astrocytes. Described here is the cloning and sequencing of the 5'-flanking region of the mouse GFAP gene. It contains a glial-specific positive cis-acting regulatory element that directs preferential expression of a linked reporter gene when transfected into GFAP-positive glioblastoma cells. Sequence analysis of this region revealed the presence of a putative AP-1 binding site, implying a possible role for AP-1 factors in the astroglial-specific expression of the GFAP gene.     

多源耐药基因表达水平的检测在儿童白血病中的临床意义

应用逆转录ＰＣＲ结合同位素定量分析，对３２例儿童白血病患者的多源耐药基因表达水平进行了研究。结果显示，初发病人的表达均较低，复发病人表达较高，缓解期病人表达程度介于两者之间，为探讨多源耐药基因表达水平与临床化疗之间的相关性及逆转克服多源耐药性药物的应用，提供了一定的理论依据。     

Point mutation in the parkin gene on patients with Parkinson’s disease

Summary To investigate the distribution of possible novel mutations from parkin gene in variant subset of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in China and explore whether parkin gene plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PD, 70 patients were divided into early-onset group and late-onset group; 70 healthy subjects were included as controls. Genomic DNA from 70 normal controls and from those of PD patients were extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes by using standard procedures. Mutations of parkin gene (exon 1–12) in all the subjects were screened by PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP), and further sequencing was performed in the samples with abnormal SSCP results, in order to confirm the mutation and its location. A new missense mutation Gly284Arg in a patient and 3 abnormal bands in SSCP electrophoresis from samples of another 3 patients were found. All the DNA variants were sourced from the samples of the patients with early-onset PD. It was concluded that Parkin point mutation also partially contributes to the development of early-onset Parkinson’s disease in Chinese.

Sry监测体外扩增造血细胞植入效果的实验研究

目的：探讨Y染色体性别决定基因(Sry)作为评价和追踪造血细胞移植后植入状态检测指标的可行性。方法：根据Sry DNA序列设计引物及制备探针，然后进行PCR检测、斑点杂交和原位杂交．动态追踪经不同条件下体外扩增的纯系雄性小鼠BMMNC回输至雌性小鼠后的植入状态。结果：PCR结果显示在各移植组小鼠的骨髓有核细胞、脾细胞及外周血白细胞中均有Y染色体特异性序列的存在；斑点杂交结果显示在各回输组间并无明显差别，但用脾脏组织作原位杂交的结果则发现基质细胞支持扩增回输组的阳性颗粒数目与输注新鲜细胞组相似，但略少于雄性小鼠；而输注细胞因子扩增细胞实验组小鼠则明显少于雄性动物的阳性对照标本和基质细胞支持扩增回输组。结论：(1)经重复检测表明上述方法的重复性好，结果可信．可作为检测性别不同时造血干细胞移植效果的一种检测手段；(2)证实基质细胞支持下的体外扩增的造血细胞具有较好的植入能力。     

Testicular amplificaion and impaired transmission of human butyrylcholinesterase cDNA in transgenic mice

Gene amplification occurs frequently in tumour tissues yet is,in general, non-inheritable. To study the molecular mechanismsconferring this restraint, we created transgenic mice carryinga human butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) coding sequence, previouslyfound to be amplified in a father and son. Blot hybridizationof tail DNA samples revealed somatic transgene amplificationswith variable restriction patterns and intensities, suggestingthe occurrence of independent amplification events, in 31% (11/35)of mice from the FII generation but in only 3.5% (2/58) of theFII and FIV generations. In contrast, >10-fold amplificationsof the BCHE transgene and the endogenous acetylcholinesteraseand c-raf genes appeared in both testis and epididymis DNA from>80% of FIII mice. Drastic, selective reductions in testisBCHEmRNA but not in actin mRNA were detected by the PCR amplificationof testis cDNA from the transgenic mice, and apparently resultedin the limited transmission of amplified genes. The testicularamplification of the BCHE transgene may potentially representa general phenomenon with clinical implications in human infertility.
