ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore ethnic distribution characteristics of SNPs associated with micronutrient deficiency risk of Chinese primary and middle school students, and to provide a basic reference for evaluating the risk of lack in micronutrient.@*Methods@#Totally 143 SNPs reported in previous studies were collected, and DNA was exacted by using magnetic beads in frozen blood cell samples from the 2016 nutrition health survey project of 1 130 primary and middle school students, competitive allele method was used to detect SNP genotyping. GO significant enrichment analysis R software package to PCA, kinship and linkage disequilibrium analysis were used for analysis of features of candidate SNPs. If there was a population structure, the FaST-LMM model was used for correlation analysis.@*Results@#The GO significant enrichment results showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the biological process grouping, including catalytic activity, transport activity, energy metabolism pathway, steroid hormone, coenzyme, biological processes of vitamin A, D and metabolism of water-soluble vitamins, involving transcription, translation and energy metabolism related genes. The results of 143 SNPs showed statistically significant differences in ethnic distribution, and SNPs on chromosome 3 presented significant differences among ethnic groups. Principal component analysis 1 showed that rs1799852 on TF gene had 25%-50% explanatory validity, rs2118981 on RBP2 gene and rs1830084 on SRPRB gene had 50%-75% explanatory validity, rs1358024, rs1525892, rs1880669, rs3811647, rs3811658, rs6794945, rs7638018 and rs8177248 on TF gene had more than 75% explanatory validity.@*Conclusion@#SNPs associated with micronutrient deficiency risk of Chinese primary and middle school students are characterized with ethnic distributions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the in vitro biofilm model of Laribacter hongkongensis(LH),to analyze the type Ⅰ integron related genes carried by LH and to investigate the mechanism of LH resistance to quinolones.Methods The biofilm forming abilities of LH clinical isolates were determined by Giemsa staining qualitative method and by crystal violet staining semi-quantitative method.The sensitivity of LH to norfloxacin,ofloxacin,levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin and lomefloxacin in both planktonic and biofilm conditions were dectermined by broth microdilution susceptibility tests.Type I integron related genes carried in 18 LH strains resistant to quinolone were detected by PCR amplification method.Results The detection results by Giemsa staining demonstrated that 36 strains in 55 LH clinical isolates formed visible biofilm,and the biofilm formation rate was 65.4%(36/55).In the biofilm forming ability detected by crystal violet staining semi-quantitative method,OD560≤0.15 was in 8 strains of LH,0.150.20 in 7 strains respectively.The levels of minimal biofilm inhibitory concentration in norfloxacin,ofloxacin,levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin and lomefloxacin to LH were respectively higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) in the corresponding floating bacteria(P<0.05).Among 55 strains of LH,18 strains were resistant to quinolones,the resistance rate was 32.7%,and the type I integron in 18 strains of LH carried the drug resistant genes,these drug resistant genes played the drug resistance role in corresponding bacterial strains.Conclusion Drug resistance gene formation and widespread of LH may be associated with type I integron.
ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare the mouse anti recombinant human Galectin-7 antibody and the antibody was characterized in bladder cancer.Methods The gene coding for Galectin-7 was amplified by PCR from the cDNA of human foreskin cells and cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET28a.Then the recombinant plasmid pET28a/Galectin-7 was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3)and expressed under IPTG induction.The recombinant Galectin-7 was purified through Ni2+-NT agarosegel column and the purified Galectin-7 used as imunogen to imunize the mouse.The titer and specificity of the anti-Galectin-7antibody from the mouse were analyzed by ELISA,Western blot and immunohistochemistry,respectively.Results The recombinant Galectin-7 was successfully expressed and purified,and the polyclonal ani-Galectin-7 antibody was suc-cessfully prepared.The titer of the antiserum was 1∶32 000 by ELISA.Western blot analysis showed this antiboday reacted specifically with Galectin-7.Immunohistochemistry analysis showed the antibody could recognize the native Galectin-7 in the human bladder cancer tissue.Conclusion The preparation recombinant Galectin-7 protein was as immunogen in rabbits.It was successful to produce high titer and high specificity of anti Galectin-7 polycolonal antibody.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the immunomodulatory effects of seaweed polysaccharide(PSS)in aged mice induced by D-ga-lactose (D-gal).Methods D-gal was injected intraperitoneally to establish the aged mice model,meanwhile the aged mice was intra-gastricly administrated by PSS.Peritoneal macrophages were collected,and macrophage secretion of nitric oxide (NO),nitric oxide synthase (NOS)levels and expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)mRNA were detected.The spleen indexs of the agd mice were calculated,and effects of PSS on spleen microscopic structure of mouse were observed.The changes of spleen cell cycle in aged model mice were detected by flow cytometry assay.Results PSS could enhance macrophage synthesis of NO and NOS of the aged mice and up-regulate the expression of iNOS mRNA levels.And the spleen index of the aged mice increased obviously, the hyperplasia of spleen capsule was obvious.Moreover,PSS could increase the percentage of S phase and G2/M phase cells of the aged mice spleen.Conclusion PSS could enhance the immune function of aged mice induced by D-gal,which is worthy of further study,which development.
