1H5N1 avian influenza in China显示文摘H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was first detected in a goose in Guangdong Province of China in 1996. Multiple genotypes of H5N1 viruses have been identified from apparently healthy waterfowl since 1999. In the years 2004-2008, over 100 outbreaks in domestic poultry occurred in 23 provinces and caused severe economic damage to the poultry industry in China. Beginning from 2004, a culling plus vaccination strategy has been implemented for the control of epidemics. Since then, over 35420000 poultry have been depopulated, and over 55 billion doses of the different vaccines have been used to control the outbreaks. Although it is logistically impossible to vaccinate every single bird in China due to the large poultry population and the complicated rearing styles, there is no doubt that the increased vaccination coverage has resulted in decreased disease epidemic and environmental virus loading. The experience in China suggests that vaccination has played an important role in the protection of poultry from H5N1 virus infection, the reduction of virus load in the environment, and the prevention of H5N1 virus transmission from poultry to humans.CHEN HuaLan Animal Influenza Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture and National Key Laboratory of Veterinary Biotechnology, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150001, China 2009Science China(Life Sciences)2009,52,5:36
2Effect of myosin heavy chain composition of muscles on meat quality in Laiwu pigs and Duroc显示文摘In order to explain the mechanism of high meat quality in Laiwu pigs and investigate the relation between myosin heavy chains (MyHC) composition and meat quality, meat quality analysis was conducted and mRNA expression of MyHC I, IIa, IIx, IIb was quantified by real-time fluorescence PCR in longissimus muscle (LM) and semimembranous muscle of Laiwu pigs and Duroc. The result indicated that, compared with Duroc, mRNA expression of MyHC IIa, IIx in LM and semimembranous muscle of Laiwu pigs was significantly increased, mRNA expression of MyHC IIb was dramatically decreased. However, the expression of MyHC I was not significantly affected by breeds. The correlation between mRNA expression of MyHC I, IIa, IIx in LM and meat color, pH value, marbling, intramuscular fat content was positive, but shear value of LM was negative. The relation between MyHC IIb mRNA expression and marbling, intramuscular fat content was dramatically negative, whereas shear value was strikingly positive, as well as fiber diameter, but without reaching statistical significance. Therefore, the composition of MyHC I, IIa, IIx, IIb affected meat quality, furthermore, expression of MyHC I, IIa, IIx, IIb mRNA prominently influenced meat characteristics, especially edible quality of muscle, suggesting that mRNA expression level of MyHC I, IIa, IIx, IIb can exactly and impersonally estimate meat quality.HU HongMei, WANG JiYing, ZHU RongSheng, GUO JianFeng & WU Ying Institute of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jinan 250100, China 2008Science China(Life Sciences)2008,51,2:26
3Immune Responses to the Attenuated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 168 Strain Vaccine by Intrapulmonic Immunization in Piglets显示文摘To investigate the immune responses to the attenuated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 168 strain vaccine, 8-15 d old piglets were immunized with M. hyopneumoniae 168 strain vaccine by intrapulmonic route. And the specific IgG antibody in serum, lymphoproliferation, IFNγ, and specific secretory IgA (SIgA) antibody in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected on 30 and 60 d post-immunization (DPI), respectively. On 60 DPI, all the pigs except for those in health control group were challenged with a field M. hyopneumoniae strain JS. Necropsy was performed on 30 d post-challenge (DPC). The results showed that IFNγ and specific SIgA were stimulated on surface of respiratory tract after immunization. And peripheral blood mononuclear cells could also be proliferated about 1.81 and 2.12 fold on 30 and 60 DPI when stimulated by M. hyopneumoniae protein in vitro. However, no serum IgG antibody against M. hyopneumoniae was detected during the whole immune phage. After challenge, vaccinated pigs were observed with only very slight histological lesion in individual lobes. None of vaccinated pigs showed any clinical signs. While the unvaccinated pigs from challenge control group showed varying degrees of clinical sign and severe macroscopical lesion of mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine (MPS). The result suggested that the attenuated M. hyopneumoniae 168 strain vaccine inoculated by intrapulmonic route could activate the systemic cellular immunity, the local mucosal immunity and IFNγ secretion in respiratory tract to against M. hyopneumoniae infection in piglets.FENG Zhi-xin, SHAO Guo-qing, LIU Mao-jun, WU Xu-su, ZHOU Yong-qi and GAN Yuan Key Laboratory of Animal Diseases Diagnostic and Immunology, Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences/National Center for Engineering Research of Veterinary Bio-Products, Ministry of Agriculture, Nanjing 210014, P.R.China 2010Agricultural Sciences in China2010,9,3:22
4Efficient production of omega-3 fatty acid desaturase (sFat-1)-transgenic pigs by somatic cell nuclear transfer显示文摘Omega-3(ω-3) fatty acid desaturase transgenic pigs may improve carcass fatty acid composition. The use of transgenic pigs is also an excellent large animal model for studying the role of ω-3 fatty acids in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease and cancer. Transgenic pigs carrying synthesized fatty acid desaturase-1 gene (sFat-1) from Caenorhabditis briggsae by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) were produced for the first time in China. Porcine fetal fibroblast cells were transfected with a sFat-1 expression cassette by the liposome-mediated method. Transgenic embryos were reconstructed by nuclear transfer of positive cells into enucleated in vitro matured oocytes. A total of 1889 reconstructed embryos were transferred into 10 naturally cycling gilts. Nine early pregnancies were established, 7 of which went to term. Twenty-one piglets were born. The cloning efficiency was 1.1% (born piglets/transferred embryos). The integration of the sFat-1 gene was confirmed in 15 live cloned piglets by PCR and Southern blot except for 2 piglets. Expression of the sFat-1 gene in 12 of 13 piglets was detected with RT-PCR. The data demonstrates that an efficient system for sFat-1 transgenic cloned pigs was developed, which led to the successful production of piglets expressing the sFat-1 gene.PAN DengKe1, ZHANG Li1, ZHOU YanRong2, FENG Chong1, LONG Chuan1, LIU Xiao1, WAN Rong3, ZHANG Jian3, LIN AiXing3, DONG EnQiu4, WANG ShuChen4, XU HouGang4 & CHEN HongXing2 1 Institute of Animal Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100193, China 2 Beijing Institute of Biotechnology, Beijing 100071, China 3 China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China 4 Yutian Breeding Swine Farms, Yutian 064104, China 2010Science China(Life Sciences)2010,53,4:21
5Effect of N-desulfated heparin on hepatic/renal ischemia reperfusion injury in rats显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of N-desulfated heparin onhepatic/renal ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats.METHODS: Using rat models of 60 minutes hepatic or renalischemia followed by 1 h,3 h,6 h and 24 h reperfusion,animalswere randomly divided into following groups,the shamoperated controls,ischemic group receiving only normalsaline,and treated group receiving N-desulfated heparin ata dose of 12 mg/kg at 5 minutes before reperfusion. P-selectin expression was detected in bepatic/renal tissueswith immunohistochemistry methodRESULTS: P-selectin expression, serum ALT, AST, BUN andCr levels were significantly increased during 60 minuteischemia and 1 h, 3 h, 6 h and 24 h reperfusion,while theincrement was significantly inhibited,and hepatic/renalpathology observed by light microscopy was remarkablyimproved by treatment with the N-desulfated heparin.Furthermore,the heparin was found no effects on PT and KPTT.CONCLUSION: P-selectin might mediate neutrophilinfiltration and contribute to hepatic/renal ischemia andreperfusion. The N-desulfated heparin might preventhepatic/renal damage induced by ischemia and reperfusioninjury without significant anticoagulant activity.Tong Zhou Wei Song Feng Wang Department of Nephrology,Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Second Medical University,Shanghai 200025,China Jin-Lian Chen Department of Gastroenterology,Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital,Shanghai 200233,China Ming-Jun Zhang Animal Laboratory,Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Second Medical University,Shanghai 200025,China Pei-Hua Ni,Department of Biochemistry,Shanghai Second Medical University,Shanghai 200025 Jian-Guo Geng Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology,Shanghai 200030,China 2002World Journal of Gastroenterology2002,8,5:20
6Construction of infectious cDNA clones of PRRSV:Separation of coding regions for nonstructural and structural proteins显示文摘Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV), the causative agent of the ongoing 'porcine high fever syndrome' in China, is capable of genetic and antigenic mutations at high fre- quency. How to design vaccine rationally to keep up with the ever-changing prevalent PRRSV variant is of great interest. We developed an infectious cDNA clone of an attenuated strain of Type II PRRSV, and further manipulated the infectious cDNA clone by inserting polylinker between ORF1 and ORF2, en- coding for nonstructural- or structural-protein, respectively. The cDNA was generated from the cell-attenuated virus strain, APRRS, via RT-PCR, and followed by nucleotide sequencing and molecular cloning. The full-length of the APRRS genomic RNA was determined as 15521 nucleotides in length excluding poly(A) tail, which has a 99.7% nucleotide identity with that of PRRSV Nsp strain, also a vac- cine strain. Based on the nucleotide sequencing results, the full-length cDNA clone was assembled in pBlueScript vector, under the control of T7 promoter at the immediate 5′ terminus of genome. To dis- cern the rescued viruses from that of parental virus, a Mlu I restriction site was engineered into ORF5 coding region. Upon transfection of the in vitro transcripts of both the original and Mlu I-tagged cDNAs into MA-104 cells, typical PRRSV cytopathic effects were observed. The rescued viruses from the full-length cDNA clones displayed the same virological and molecular properties. Subsequently, PCR-based mutagenesis was conducted to separate the coding regions between PRRSV nonstructural genes, ORF1, and structural proteins, ORF2-ORF7. The synthetic RNA of such mutant clone, pCSA, was infectious and the rescued virus shared similar properties with that of the parental virus. This study provided a valuable tool for development of chimeric PRRSV as vaccine candidate offering cross-protection to various genetically diversified PRRSV strains, and a platform for further develop- ment of PRRSV as a gene expression vector for recombinant vaccines against other significant swine diseases.YUAN ShiShan & WEI ZuZhang Department of Animal Infectious Diseases, Key Laboratory of Animal Parasitology Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, Shanghai Vet- erinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shanghai 200232, China 2008Science China(Life Sciences)2008,51,3:19
7Production of transgenic blastocyst by nuclear transfer from different types of somatic cells in cattle显示文摘The present study examined the effects of genetic manipulation to the donor cell and different types of transgenic donor cells on developmental potential of bovine nuclear trans-fer (NT) embryos. Four types of bovine somatic cells, including granulosa cells, fetal fibroblasts, fetal oviduct epithelial cells and fetal ovary epithelial cells, were transfected with a plasmid (pCE-EGFP-Ires-Neo-dNdB) containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and neomycin-resistant (Neor) genes by electroporation. After 14 days selection with 800 mg/mL G418, transgenic cell lines from each type of somatic cells were obtained. Nontransgenic granulosa cells and all 4 types of transgenic somatic cells were used as nuclear donor to produce transgenic embryos by NT. There was no significant difference in development rates to the blas-tocyst stage for NT embryos from transgenic and nontransgenic granulosa cells (44.6% and 42.8%, respectively), and transfer of NT embryos derived from transgenic and nontransgenic granulosa cells to recipients resulted in similar pregnancy rates on day 90 (19% and 25%, re-spectively). The development rates to the blastocyst stage of NT embryos were significantly dif-ferent among different types of transgenic donor cells (P<0.05). Blastocyst rates from fetal ovi-duct epithelial cell and granulosa cell (49.1% and 44.6%, respectively) were higher than those from fetal fibroblast (32.7%) and fetal ovary epithelial cell (22.5%). These results suggest that (i) genetic manipulation to donor cells has no negative effect on in vitro and early in vivo develop-mental competence of bovine NT embryos and (ii) granulosa and fetal oviduct epithelial cells can be used to produce transgenic bovine NT embryos more efficiently. In addition, GFP can be used to select transgenic NT embryos as a non-invasive selective marker.GONG Guochun1, DAI Yunping1, FAN Baoliang1, ZHU Huabing2, WANG Haiping3, WANG Lili1, FANG Changge1, WAN Rong3, LIU Ying3, LI Rong3 & LI Ning1 1.

9Complete nucleotide sequence of a novel porcine circovirus-like agent and its infectivity in vitro显示文摘A novel agent (hence termed as P2) was isolated from pig sera in China, which contained covalently bound circular genomic DNAs of 993 nucleotides. Sequence analyses indicated that the agent was closely related to the porcine circovirus (PCV). The molecular clone of P2 was constructed subsequently and used for the following studies. Intracytoplasmic inclusions and intranuclear inclusions were only found in PK-15 cells transfected with the tandem dimer of P2 molecular DNA clone. Intracytoplasmic inclusions were round or irregular in shape and 0.1-0.4 μm in diameter, and intranuclear inclusions were electronically denser than intracytoplasmic inclusions and had two general shapes: round/small (0.1 μm in diameter) and hexagonal/large (0.5―1.4 μm in diameter). The inclusions were not membranously bound. The cells transfected with the tandem dimer of P2 molecular DNA clone were tested positive for P2 DNA at passages 5. The P2 antigen could be detected in both transfected and passaged PK-15 cells. This is the first report regarding the complete nucleotide sequence of a small DNA genome in a circovirus-like infectious agent in vitro.WEN LiBin1, HE KongWang1, YANG HanChun2, NI YanXiu1, ZHANG XueHan1, GUO RongLi1 & PAN QunXin1 1 Key Laboratory of Animal and Poultry Diseases Diagnostic of the Ministry of Agriculture, Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Nanjing 210014, China 2 Key Laboratory of Preventive Veterinary Medicine of Ministry of Agriculture, College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100094, China 2008Science China(Life Sciences)2008,51,5:14
10The single nucleotide polymorphisms of chicken melanocortin-4 receptor(MC4R)gene and their association analysis with carcass traits显示文摘Mutations of the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene are associated with the appetite,obesity and growth in pig,mice and human. But little is known about the function of chicken MC4R gene. In this study,F2 chicken resource population derived from broilers crossing to Silky was screened for the polymorphisms of the MC4R gene using PCR-single strand conformation polymor-phism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing methods. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) sites were found. The mutation (C→T) in the 5′ regulation region of chicken MC4R gene results in one more NF-E2 and cap transcription factor binding sites in the mutation allele than in the wild allele. One missense mutation (G→A) occurs in the coding region (61nt),which changes the glycine to arginine. Moreover,in the coding region there are 2 synonymous mutations,one G→T mutation at 315nt and one C→T mutation at 336nt. Least square analysis of the SNPs and carcass traits showed that BB,DD and FF genotypes are significantly associated with body weight,carcass weight (or half carcass weight),and leg muscle weight (P<0.05 or P<0.01). But no significant association between the geno-types and abdominal fat weight is found. The results present the evidence that the chicken MC4R gene can be selected as the major candidate gene for the carcass traits such as body weight and growth.QIU Xuemei1,2,LI Ning1,DENG Xuemei3,ZHAO Xingbo3,MENG Qingyong1 & WANG Xiuli2 1.

11Construction of a host range-expanded hybrid baculovirus of BmNPV and AcNPV, and knockout of cysteinase gene for more efficient expression显示文摘AcNPV (Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus) and BmNPV(Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus) are two principal insect-baculovirus expression systems, each having different characteristics. AcNPV has a wider host range and can infect a series of cell lines thus making it suitable for cell suspension culture expression, but the small size of the host insect, A. californica, makes AcNPV less suitable for large scale protein synthesis. In contrast, BmNPV can only infect the silkworm, Bombyx mori, which is well-known for its easy rearing and large size. These characteristics make the BmNPV system especially suitable for large-scale industrial ex-pression. To utilize the advantages of both AcNPV and BmNPV, we tried to expand their host range through homologous recombination and successfully constructed a hybrid baculovirus of AcNPV and BmNPV, designated as HyNPV. The hybrid baculovirus can infect the hosts of both AcNPV and BmNPV. Taking the human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene as an appli-cation example, we constructed a recombinant, HyNPV-bFGF. This construct is able to express the bFGF protein both in silkworm larvae and in common-use cell lines, sf21, sf9 and High-five. Moreover, to reduce the loss of recombinant protein due to degradation by proteases that are simultaneously expressed by the baculovirus, we knocked out the cysteinase gene coding for one of the most important baculovirus proteases. This knockout mutation improves the produc-tion efficiency of the bFGF recombinant protein.WU Xiaofeng, CAO Cuiping, XU Yaxiang & LU Xingmeng College of Animal Sciences, Zhejiang University, Huajiachi Campus, Hangzhou 310029, China 2004Science China(Life Sciences)2004,47,5:12
12The endocrine regulation network of growth hormone synthesis and secretion in fish: Emphasis on the signal integration in somatotropes显示文摘In teleosts, growth hormone (GH) production is governed by multiple neuroendocrine factors from the hypothalamus and other regulators from the pituitary and peripheral organs. Exploring the principles followed by pituitary somatotropes when differentiating and integrating the signals from these regulators at the cellular and intracellular level is essential for understanding the endocrine regulation network of growth hormone synthesis and secretion in fish. This paper discusses recent advances in the action mechanisms of GH regulation factors, including the neuroendocrine regulators, pituitary level factors and peripheral factors, primarily involved in their receptor systems as well as in post-receptor signal transduction pathways.LI WenSheng & LIN HaoRan State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, Institute of Aquatic Economic Animals and the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory for Aquatic Economic Animals, School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510275, China 2010Science China(Life Sciences)2010,53,4:11
13Metabolomics of gastric cancer metastasis detected by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry显示文摘AIM:To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of metastasis and to identify the metabolomic markers of gastric cancer metastasis.METHODS:Gastric tumors from metastatic and nonmetastatic groups were used in this study.Metabolites and different metabolic patterns were analyzed by gas chromatography,mass spectrometry and principal components analysis (PCA),respectively.Differentiation performance was validated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curves.RESULTS:Twenty-nine metabolites were differentially expressed in animal models of human gastric cancer.Of the 29 metabolites,20 were up-regulated and 9 were down-regulated in metastasis group compared to non-metastasis group.PCA models from the metabolite profiles could differentiate the metastatic from the nonmetastatic specimens with an AUC value of 1.0.These metabolites were mainly involved in several metabolic pathways,including glycolysis (lactic acid,alaline),serine metabolism (serine,phosphoserine),proline metabolism (proline),glutamic acid metabolism,tricarboxylic acid cycle (succinate,malic acid),nucleotide metabolism (pyrimidine),fatty acid metabolism (docosanoic acid,and octadecanoic acid),and methylation(glycine).The serine and proline metabolisms were highlighted during the progression of metastasis.CONCLUSION:Proline and serine metabolisms play an important role in metastasis.The metabolic profiling of tumor tissue can provide new biomarkers for the treatment of gastric cancer metastasis.Jin-Lian Chen,Jun-Duo Hu,Jing Fan,Jing Hong,Department of Gastroenterology,Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University,Shanghai 200233,China Hui-Qing Tang,Jian-Zhong Gu,Shanghai Laboratory Animal Center,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Shanghai 201615,China 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,46:11
14Production of porcine cloned transgenic embryos expressing green fluorescent protein by somatic cell nuclear transfer显示文摘In the present study, nuclear transferred embryos (NTEs) were reconstructed by using pig fetal fibroblasts as donors and in vitro matured oocytes as recipients. The effects of G418 selection on donor cells, duration of IVM of prepubertal gilt oocytes and oxygen tension in IVM of oocytes were investigated. The results were as follows: (i) When G418 selected cells expressing GFP were used as donors, the cleavage rate of NTEs decreased drastically in comparison to NTEs derived from donors without antibiotic selection (47.5% vs. 71.6%, p<0.05). For the blastocyst rate, no significant differ-ence was observed between two groups (10% vs. 10.4%, p>0.05). (ii) The rate of nuclear maturation of oocytes increased significantly when IVM duration time was extended from 36 to 42 h (83.6% vs. 96.7%, p<0.05). However, no statistical difference was observed between NTEs derived from oocytes of 36 h IVM group and NTEs from oocytes of 42 h IVM group in the rates of cleavage (59.3% vs. 73.6%, p>0.05) and blastocyst formation (9.3% vs. 13.2%, p>0.05); (iii) no significant difference was observed between NTEs reconstructed from oocytes matured under lower oxygen (7% O2) tension and NTEs derived from oocytes matured under higher oxygen tension (20% O2) in cleavage rate (70.6% vs. 67.1%, p>0.05) and blastocyst rate (11.8% vs. 12.3%, p>0.05). These results suggest that: (i) G418 selection does not have a significant effect on cleavage rate of NTEs expressing GFP. (ii) Nuclear maturation is greatly improved by prolonging IVM duration from 36 to 42 h, while no signifi-cant differences were observed for developmental potential of transgenic embryos. Thus IVM 42 h is the better choice in order to obtain maximum number of MⅡ oocytes as recipients. (iii) Lower oxygen tension and higher oxygen tension in IVM have no significant effect on development of cloned em-bryos.ZHANG Yunhai1, PAN Dengke1,2, SUN Xiuzhu1, SUN Guojie1, WANG Xiaobo1, LIU Xiaohui1, LI Yan1, DAI Yunping1 & LI Ning1 1.

16Expression of the Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) hsp83 gene and its relation to oogenesis during ovarian maturation显示文摘Heat shock proteins (HSP) can protect organisms and cells from thermal damage. In this study, we cloned the full length cDNA encoding the HSP83 protein (the homologue of HSP90) of Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle). The isolated cDNA contains the full coding sequence, a partial 5′ untranslated region of 55 bp and the complete 3′ untranslated region. We found the hsp83 gene is located on chromosome 5 of the T. castaneum genome. The predicted HSP83 protein sequence has a high similarity (on average 86.77%) with that of other insect species. The expression of the hsp83 gene in the whole body and in the ovary could be induced with heat stress (40°C for 1 h) in newly hatched (within 3 h post emergence) and mature (10 days post emergence) beetles. Under normal conditions, the hsp83 expression in the ovary is about 3-fold higher than in the whole body at both stages. No significant difference in hsp83 expression was observed between the two ovarian developmental stages regardless if the beetles were treated with heat shock or not. The expression of the HSP83 protein in the whole body could also be induced with heat stress in newly hatched and mature beetles. However, in the ovary, HSP83 was only expressed in the follicle cells of mature beetles and not in newly hatched beetles, regardless if the beetles were treated with heat shock or not. Furthermore, the females were not able to produce mature oocytes after knock-down of the hsp83 expression by injecting dsRNA. These results suggest that the HSP83 protein is involved in protection against heat stress and could be involved in oogenesis during ovarian maturation of T. castaneum.Jingjing Xu 1, Juan Shu 1, Qin Zhang Key Laboratory of Animal Genetics and Breeding of the Ministry of Agriculture, College of Animal Science and Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China 2010Journal of Genetics and Genomics2010,37,8:9
17Establishment of transgenic mouse harboring hepatitis B virus (adr subtype) genomes显示文摘INTRODUCTIONHepatitis B virus (HBV) belongs to the group ofhepatovirus, a major pathogen of human acute andchronic hepatitis B[1 4], which has a very closeassociation with human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)[5-8], For example, a statistical data from ahospital in Shanghai showed that 80% of HCCpatients were positive for HBsAg ( personalcommunication).Yi Ping Hu1 Wei Jiang Hu1 Wen Chao Zheng2 Jian Xiu Li1 De Shun Dai1 Xin Min Wang1 Shu Zhong Zhang1 Hong Yu Yu3 Wei Sun4 Guang Rong Hao4 1Department of Cell Biology, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai 200433, China2University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53705, USA3Department of Pathology, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai 200433, China4Center of laboratory Animals, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai 200433, China 2001World Journal of Gastroenterology2001,7,1:9
18The role of mesodermal signals during liver organogenesis in zebrafish显示文摘Three germ cell layers, the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, are established during the gastrulation stage. All cell types in different organs and tissues are derived from these 3 germ cell layers at later stages. For example, skin epithelial cells and neuronal cells are derived from the ectoderm, while endothelial cells and muscle cells from the mesoderm and lung, and intestine epithelial cells from the endoderm. While in a normal situation different germ cells are destined to specific cell fates in different organs and tissues, each type of germ cells or its derivatives also produce extracellular signaling molecules to direct and facilitate the specification and differentiation of other germ cells during organogenesis. Liver is derived from the endoderm, but completion of liver organogenesis is regulated at different levels. While the pan-endoderm factors (e.g. FoxA and Gata families) and liver specific factors (e.g. Prox1 and Hhex) are essential intrinsic factors for endoderm cells to be differentiated into hepatoblasts, the role of signals produced by neighboring mesoderm cells for liver organogenesis is equally important. This review summarizes recent progress in studying the role of Bone morphogenetic proteins (Bmp), Fibroblast growth factors (Fgf), retinoic acid (RA) and Wingless and Int (Wnt), the 4 types of signaling molecules produced by the mesoderm cells, in liver organogenesis in zebrafish.NIU XuBo, SHI Hui & PENG JinRong College of Animal Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310029, China 2010Science China(Life Sciences)2010,53,4:9
19The single nucleotide polymorphisms of the chicken myostatin gene are associated with skeletal muscle and adipose growth显示文摘Myostatin, a new member of the TGF-β superfamily, is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle cells and functions as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth in animals. Recently, we have reported three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the chicken myostatin gene. Herein, we investigate the association of those SNPs with the production traits in a F2 chicken line derived from Broilers crossing to Silky with the least square analysis. The results show that the BB and AA genotypes are strongly associated with abdominal fat weight (AFW), abdominal fat percentage (AFP), and birth weight (BW) (P < 0.05). Breast muscle percentage (BMP) of the AA type is higher than that of the AB type. The breast muscle weight and breast muscle percentages of F2 individuals have significant difference between CC and DD genotypes (P < 0.05). Breast muscle weight (BMW) of EF birds is higher than that of EE birds (P < 0.05). In this report, we present the first genetic evidence to show that chicken myostatin not only plays an important role in controlling skeletal muscle growth and differentiation, but also may be involved in regulation of adipose growth in chicken.GU Zhiliang, ZHU Dahai, LI Ming, LI Hui, DENG Xuemei & WU ChangxinMolecular and Cellular Developmental Biology Laboratory, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China College of Animal Science & Technology, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin 150030, China National Laboratories for Agribiotechnology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100094, China College of Animal Science & Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100094, China Department of Life Science and Technology, Changshu Institute of Technology, Changshu 215500, China Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, National Laboratory of Medical Molecular Biology, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100005, China 2004Science China(Life Sciences)2004,47,1:9
20Evaluation of genetic diversity in Chinese indigenous chicken breeds using microsatellite markers显示文摘China is rich in chicken genetic resources, and many indigenous breeds can be found throughout the country. Due to poor productive ability, some of them are threatened by the commercial varieties from domestic and foreign breeding companies. In a large-scale investigation into the current status of Chinese poultry genetic resources, 78 indigenous chicken breeds were surveyed and their blood samples collected. The genomes of these chickens were screened using microsatellite analysis. A total of 2740 individuals were genotyped for 27 microsatellite markers on 13 chromosomes. The number of alleles of the 27 markers ranged from 6 to 51 per locus with a mean of 18.74. Heterozy-gosity (H) values of the 78 chicken breeds were all more than 0.5. The average H value (0.622) and polymorphism information content (PIC, 0.573) of these breeds suggested that the Chinese indige-nous chickens possessed more genetic diversity than that reported in many other countries. The fixa-tion coefficients of subpopulations within the total population (FST) for the 27 loci varied from 0.065 (LEI0166) to 0.209 (MCW0078), with a mean of 0.106. For all detected microsatellite loci, only one (LEI0194) deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) across all the populations. As genetic drift or non-random mating can occur in small populations, breeds kept on conservation farms such as Langshan chicken generally had lower H values, while those kept on large populations within con-servation regions possessed higher polymorphisms. The high genetic diversity in Chinese indigenous breeds is in agreement with great phenotypic variation of these breeds. Using Nei’s genetic distance and the Neighbor-Joining method, the indigenous Chinese chickens were classified into six categories that were generally consistent with their geographic distributions. The molecular information of genetic diversity will play an important role in conservation, supervision, and utilization of the chicken re-sources.QU Lujiang1, LI Xianyao1, XU Guifang2, CHEN Kuanwei3, YANG Hongjie2, ZHANG Longchao1, WU Guiqin1, HOU Zhuocheng1, XU Guiyun1 & YANG Ning1 1.
