阴道毛滴虫Rab11鸟苷三磷酸酶eDNA克隆和序列分析

目的 近年研究表明Rab11鸟苷三磷酸酶在调节各种真核细胞的膜转运通道中发挥着重要作用。但是，对于原生动物毛滴虫膜转运系统的研究仍甚少。本研究旨在克隆和分析阴道毛滴虫Rabll鸟苷三磷酸酶基因，以便进一步探讨其功能。方法 使用SMART cDNA文库构建试剂盒构建阴道毛滴虫cDNA表达文库，用生物信息学进行TvRab11同源分析，鉴定TvRab11基因，用PCR方法扩增基因组DNA，TA克隆TvRab11 cDNA、测序及序列分析。结果 在分离出的cDNA克隆中发现一个Rab11鸟苷三磷酸酶同源基因。该cDNA序列长710bp，读码框含636bp，推测蛋白质序列具211个氨基酸。序列分析表明该基因系Rab11亚家族的同源基因，其推测肽链与拟南芥Rab11c的同源性晟高（一致性60％，相似性79％），与人类Rab11b次之（一致性58％，相似性78％）。该氨基酸序列拥有Rab鸟苷三磷酸酶家族的所有保守结构域和特异性Rab结构域（RabF1-5）。进化树分析也表明该基因系Rab11的同源基因。序列分析还显示该基因的基因组DNA序列与cDNA序列完全一致．提示该基因无内含子。结论分析表明该基因是阴道毛滴虫Rab11鸟苷三磷酸酶同源基因，其功能有待进一步研究。     

Infantile autism—fragile X: Molecular findings support genetic heterogeneity

Twenty-two members of 18 families with autism have been examined for the presence of mutations and abnormal methylation in the FMR-1 region at Xq27.3. All patients fulfilled diagnostic criteria of infantile autism. A characteristic pattern of insertion and methylation were detected after Southern blot analysis in 7 autistic individuals expressing the fragile site at Xq27.3. Normal DNA patterns were observed in 15 autistic boys cytogenetically negative for the fragile site. The results indicate a lack of involvement of the FMR-1 region in infantile autists negative for fragile X expression. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Reversal of dexfenfluramine-induced anorexia and c-Fos/c-Jun expression by lesion in the lateral parabrachial nucleus

The external subdivision of the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBE) shows strong Fos-like immunoreactivity (FLI) following anorectic doses of the indirect serotonin agonist dexfenfluramine (DFEN). In an effort to determine the contribution of the LPBE to DFEN-induced anorexia, bilateral ibotenate lesions were made in the LPBE, and the effects of the lesion on DFEN-induced anorexia and FLI as well as c-June-like immunoreactivity (JLI) were examined. It was found that LPBE lesion significantly attenuated DFEN anorexia: in a 1-h food intake test following 24-h food deprivation, DFEN (2 mg/kg) suppressed food intake by 60% in intact rats but only 34% in rats with LPBE lesions. In addition to this behavioral change, LPBE lesion completely abolished DFEN-induced FLI and JLI in the lateral subdivision of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeL) and laterodorsal subdivision of the bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BSTLD), both of which showed strong FLI and JLI in intact rats. DFEN-induced FLI and JLI in other brain regions were not affected by LPBE lesion, including the ventromedial and lateral hypothalamus, caudate-putamen, and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST). The parallel loss of DFEN-induced anorexia and FLI/JLI following LPBE lesion raises the novel possibility that LPBE-CeL/BSTLD pathway may be involved in DFEN anorexia.     

dC14可抑制小鼠SRS腹水瘤的发病和生长

作者曾经体外实验证明,均聚寡脱氧胞嘧啶核苷酸片段(dC14)有抗病毒活性,现继续研究其在体内的作用。不给dC14的对照组小鼠,接种腹水瘤细胞后:100％发病和死亡,潜伏期为6d,存活期11d;给每只小鼠dC14 1.3～3.2 mg,发病率和死亡率降低至20％,疾病潜伏期和存活期推迟。在未经dC14处理的种瘤细胞和淋巴组织与经处理的淋巴组织中,多聚酶链反应(PCR)法都检测到病毒核酸,而正常小鼠中则无此种病毒核酸顺序。研究结果提示,dC14对小鼠SRS腹水瘤的发病和生长有抑制作用。此种抑制作用可能是通过抑制病毒基因的表达来实现的。     

Intraperitoneal infection with Salmonella abortusovis is partially controlled by a gene closely linked with the Ity gene.

The aim of the present study was to determine whether the Ity gene, which controls the resistance to S. typhimurium infection in mice, also governs the resistance to S. abortusovis, a serotype specific for goat and sheep. During either i.v. or i.p. infection, BALB/c mice (Itys) were not able to control the growth of S. abortusovis and eventually died from infection. In contrast CBA (Ityr) or (C.CB)F1 (Ityr/s) mice were able to control the growth of these bacteria. Using congenic C.D2 Ityr mice, we found that the gene controlling resistance to S. abortusovis was tightly linked to the Ity gene on chromosome 1. Furthermore, in the spleen and the liver of backcross BALB/c x (CBA x BALB/c) mice, the S. abortusovis resistance phenotype cosegregated with the two alleles of the Len-1 gene, a gene tightly linked to the Ity gene. By contrast, in these backcross mice, the level of infection of the peritoneal cavity, the site of inoculation, did not correlated with the Len-1 phenotype of the animal. These results provide evidence that after i.p. inoculation the control of S. abortusovis growth in the spleen and the liver is controlled by the Ity gene, but also suggest that additional gene(s) regulate the number of bacteria at the site of inoculation.     

力竭运动后大鼠海马脑区谷氨酸受体NR2A蛋白含量和基因表达的变化

目的:观察力竭运动前后大鼠脑中海马谷氨酸受体NR2A蛋白含量和基因表达的变化,探讨其与运动性疲劳的可能联系。方法:50只SD雄性大鼠,随机分为安静对照组(S,n=10),力竭运动后即刻组(AE1,n=10),力竭运动后恢复0.5小时组(AE2,n=10),力竭运动后恢复3小时组(AE3,n=10)和力竭运动后恢复24小时组(AE4,n=10)。分别采用免疫印迹法和RT-PCR法测定一次性力竭运动后大鼠脑中海马谷氨酸受体NR2A蛋白含量和基因表达。结果:与安静对照组相比,力竭运动后即刻,大鼠NR2A蛋白含量明显升高,而mRNA表达显著减少;恢复0.5小时后,蛋白含量略有下降,mRNA表达显著增加;恢复3小时后蛋白含量显著下降,mRNA表达继续增加;恢复24小时后蛋白含量恢复到安静时水平,mRNA表达则减少至恢复0.5小时后水平。结论:力竭运动后即刻及恢复过程中,大鼠脑中海马谷氨酸受体NR2A蛋白含量及mRNA表达变化趋势不同,提示基因表达对蛋白含量的调控可能具有延迟性。
