【目的】对拟黑多刺蚁(Polyrhachis vicina Roger)成虫热激蛋白90(Heat shock protein 90,HSP90)基因进行RNA干扰(RNAi),为分析hsp90基因的功能及将RNAi技术用于害虫防治提供参考。【方法】采用Trizol法提取拟黑多刺蚁总RNA,反转录合成cDNA第一链用于hsp90基因的克隆。利用T7RiboMAXTM Express RNAi System将hsp90合成双链RNA(double-stranded RNA,dsRNA),将其配制成120,60,30,15和7.5ng/μL的溶液饲喂拟黑多刺蚁雌蚁、雄蚁和工蚁成虫进行RNAi,共饲喂14d,记录成虫死亡率,确定dsRNA最适质量浓度,并以此剂量对各品级成虫进行干扰,通过荧光实时定量PCR,检测干扰效果及干扰hsp90基因对EcR、USP mRNA表达的影响。【结果】成功获得拟黑多刺蚁hsp90基因片段,其长度523bp,并合成了dsRNA。饲喂dsRNA后发现,dsRNA质量浓度越大,拟黑多刺蚁死亡率越高,在dsRNA质量浓度为120ng/μL时,饲喂5d后成虫全部死亡;30ng/μL是dsRNA干扰的最适质量浓度。以30ng/μL dsRNA干扰后,荧光实时定量PCR结果表明,拟黑多刺蚁每个品级成虫hsp90基因mRNA均被沉默。hsp90基因被干扰后,EcR的表达没有显著变化,USP的表达显著降低。【结论】采用饲喂法成功干扰了拟黑多刺蚁hsp90基因mRNA的表达;hsp90基因与USP基因表达有一定的相关性。  相似文献

【目的】章鱼胺信号系统在调节昆虫行为和生理过程中具有至关重要的作用。赤拟谷盗(Tribolium castaneum)作为一种模式昆虫,被广泛用于解析昆虫生长发育及生理等调控机制的研究工作。本研究以赤拟谷盗为对象,旨在明确章鱼胺受体在调节赤拟谷盗行为和生理方面的功能。【方法】根据Gen Bank登录的相关序列信息(XP_008198078),利用RT-PCR技术克隆赤拟谷盗章鱼胺受体基因Tc OctβR3的c DNA序列。利用在线生物信息学分析软件预测该基因的开放阅读框、编码的氨基酸序列以及跨膜结构域等信息,基于邻接法构建该基因与其他昆虫相关序列的系统发育树,明确系统进化关系。分别提取赤拟谷盗各发育阶段(卵、幼虫、蛹和成虫)、不同组织(中枢神经系统、脂肪体、中肠、后肠、马氏管、精巢和卵巢)以及饥饿胁迫后的RNA,以赤拟谷盗核糖体蛋白S3(Tc RPS3)为内参基因,采用实时定量PCR技术分析该基因在赤拟谷盗不同发育阶段、不同组织以及在饥饿胁迫下的表达模式。运用哺乳动物异源表达系统在人胚胎肾细胞HEK293中瞬时表达Tc OctβR3,进而利用第二信使c AMP含量测定技术分析Tc OctβR3与配体的结合能力。最后,通过体外合成赤拟谷盗Tc OctβR3的双链RNA,利用RNA干扰以及轨迹球行为分析等技术探究该基因的生理功能。【结果】序列分析结果表明,赤拟谷盗Tc OctβR3开放阅读框全长1 305 bp,编码434个氨基酸,序列中含有G蛋白偶联受体典型的7个跨膜结构域。基于邻接法构建的系统发育树表明,该基因编码的蛋白质与小蜂甲(Aethina tumida)的OctβR3亲缘关系最近。实时定量PCR分析结果表明,Tc OctβR3在赤拟谷盗各发育阶段均有表达,尤其在低龄幼虫期转录水平最高,而在其他发育阶段表达量无显著差异;在赤拟谷盗不同组织中,Tc OctβR3在中枢神经系统的表达量显著高于其他组织;赤拟谷盗幼虫在经饥饿处理24 h的过程中,Tc OctβR3的表达量呈先下降后上升的趋势,且在处理6 h的表达量最低,为对照的0.47倍,在16 h表达量最高,为对照的1.80倍,最后恢复到正常水平。通过HEK293细胞异源表达Tc OctβR3后,c AMP测定结果表明章鱼胺(OA)呈浓度依赖性地激活Tc OctβR3,其EC50为8.68×10-7 mol·L-1,萘甲唑啉(NA)的激动活性最高,其有效中浓度EC50为8.56×10-8 mol·L-1。4种供试生物胺激动剂活性强弱为:萘甲唑啉酪胺(TA)章鱼胺多巴胺(DA)。进一步采用RNA干扰技术的分析结果表明,注射ds RNA能有效抑制Tc OctβR3的表达,沉默效率高达61.5%,但干扰该基因表达后不会影响赤拟谷盗成虫的爬行速度和产卵量。【结论】Tc OctβR3在赤拟谷盗中枢神经系统可能发挥重要作用,能调节幼虫对饥饿胁迫的响应。明确了Tc OctβR3的分子生物学特性,可为将来以其为靶标筛选高效激动剂和抑制剂提供理论依据。  相似文献

乙烯受体ETR1基因同源性分析及乙烯敏感性与植物采后寿命的关系   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

冯莹  刘青林 《分子植物育种》2007,5(6):855-865

将37种不同科属植物及5个不同月季品种的ETR1核苷酸、氨基酸序列进行同源性分析并构建了分子系统发生树,并对植物的呼吸跃变类型、乙烯敏感性及采后寿命的关系进行了归纳和分析.结果表明,在核苷酸水平上,分子性状的同源性与形态性状同源性具有一致性,但月季不同品种种间差异大于异源植物的属间差异.氨基酸序列的同源性分析结果与核苷酸相似,但仍存在差异,可能由于氨基酸密码子简并性、翻译起始位置的不同、ETR1片段大小的差异所造成.在蛋白质水平上,所分析的ETR1片段均具有高度保守结构域.植物的呼吸跃变类型虽与内源乙烯的生成有密切的关系,但与外源乙烯的敏感性无直接关系;植物对外源乙烯的敏感性与植物采后寿命的关系更为密切.  相似文献   

A role for Toll-like receptor 4 in the host response to the lung infection of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in mice     

《Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases》2016

Although a Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Yptb) lung infection model has been developed to study Y. pestis pathogenesis, it is still necessary to establish a new animal model to mimic the pathophysiological features induced by Y. pestis infection. Here, we provide a new lung infection model using the Yptb strain, IP2777, which displayed rapid spread of bacteria to the liver, spleen, and blood. In addition, we examined whether TLR4 is involved in Yptb-induced pathogenesis in the lung infection model of mice we generated. Following lung infection of WT and TLR4-deficient mice with the Yptb strain IP2777, the survival rate, bacterial colonization, histopathology, and level of cytokines and chemokines in the lung, spleen, liver, and blood were analyzed. TLR4-deficient mice had a lower survival rate than WT mice in response to Yptb lung infection. Although the bacterial colonization and pathology of the lung were comparable between WT and TLR4-deficient mice, those of the spleen and liver were more severe in TLR4-deficient mice. In addition, the levels of TNF-α and CXCL2 in the liver and IL-6 and CXCL2 in the blood were higher in TLR4-deficient mice than in WT mice. Our results demonstrate that TLR4 is necessary for optimal host protection against Yptb lung infection and TLR4-deficient mice may serve as a better genetic model of Yptb infection for mimicking Y. pestis infection.  相似文献

ZOU Feng  WANG Xu-ming  LIU Li-jiang 《园艺学报》2012,28(12):2167-2171

AIM: To investigate the relationship between the expression of estrogen receptor α36 (ER-α36) and the invasion of gastric cancer cells. METHODS: SGC7901 cells were treated with 17β-estradiol at high or low concentration. The invasion of gastric cancer cells and the expression of ER-α36 were detected. The SGC7901 cells with the characteristics of stable low expression and high expression of ER-α36 were constructed. The invasion ability and microRNA sequences were determined in above-mentioned recombinant cells. RESULTS: The decreased invasion ability and ER-α36 expression were detected in SGC7901 cells treated with low concentration of 17β-estradiol. The situation was the opposite in the cells treated with high concentration of 17β-estradiol. The expression of miR-143 was significantly decreased in the SGC7901 cells with stable high expression of ER-α36 and was increased in the SGC7901 cells with stable low expression of ER-α36. CONCLUSION: The expression of ER-α36 is positively related to the invasion of gastric cancer cells. It is possible that miR-143 plays an important role in the regulation of gastric cancer invasion.  相似文献   

Atorvastatin inhibits IL-1β and IL-18 releases via lowering the expression of NLRP1 inflammasome     

YU Si-yang  WANG Yan  ZENG Gao-feng  LIU Yang  XU Jian-qiang  ZENG Meng-ya  TANG Ye-hua  ZENG Zhi-ying  SHI Xiao-qiao  CHEN Ying  ZHAO Guo-jun 《园艺学报》2016,32(5):863-868

AIM: To explore the role of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 1 (NLRP1) inflammasome in atorvastatin-induced reduction of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) releases from the THP-1 macrophages. METHODS: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 μg/L) was used to trigger the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 in the THP-1 macrophages. The cells were incubated with different concentrations of atorvastatin (1, 10 and 20 μmol/L) for 24 h, or treated with 10 μmol/L atorvastatin for different time (12 h, 24 h and 48 h). NLRP1 siRNA was transfected into the THP-1 cells. The mRNA expression of NLRP1 inflammasome was detected by RT-PCR. The protein expression of NLRP1 inflammasome was determined by Western blot. The secretion of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 was quantified by ELISA. RESULTS: Atorvastatin inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of NLRP1 inflammasome in the THP-1 macrophages in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Transfection of NLRP1 siRNA significantly decreased the protein expression of NLRP1 and promoted the suppressive effect of atorvastatin on IL-1β and IL-18 secretion in the THP-1 macrophages. CONCLUSION: Atorvastatin inhibits the production of IL-1β and IL-18 in the macrophages through decreasing NLRP1 inflammasome expression, possibly contributing to the anti-inflammatory effect of atorvastatin on atherosclerosis.  相似文献

Physical interaction between 2 proteins was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. The subcellular localization of 2 proteins in the mouse retina was observed under microscope with immunofluorescence.RESULTS: Modifier of cell adhesion (MOCA) was identified as a new protein interacting with NR2D. MOCA and NR2D were co-expressed in the mouse retina. CONCLUSION: MOCA specifically interacts with NR2D, which provides the experimental basis for identifying the role of glutamate excitotoxicity in the retina neurodegeneration.  相似文献

曾兴艳  王裕文  聂奎 《中国兽医寄生虫病》2010,18(2):52-55

采用RT—PCR技术从日本大耳白兔的脾脏组织克隆出兔的Toll样受体基因3（命名为。TLR3），并对其mRNA在兔的17种组织中的分布情况进行了检测。结果显示，RTLR3核苷酸序列与GenBank中登载的穴兔（Oryctolagus cuniculus）TLR3序列（登录号：NM_001082219）相似性为100％；兔的胸腺、脾脏、睾丸等14种组织中检测出TLR3 mRNA的转录产物，而在骨骼、胃和皮肤中未能发现。推导的氨基酸序列同源性比对表明，兔TLR3与人、野猪、牛、猫、褐鼠等动物的同源性最高，为80％-85％；与原鸡同源性次之，为61％；与草鱼、绿河豚等同源性在45％～48％之间；系统进化树分析表明，兔TLR3与马的亲缘关系最接近，与猪、人／绵羊、牛、猩猩／猫的亲缘关系依次渐远，与鼠的亲缘关系最远。可见，TLR3在不同种属动物及不同组织中所起的作用具有生物多样性。  相似文献
