RESUMO

Melanogenesis, migration and proliferation of melanocytes are important factors that determine the hair colours of mammals. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be closely related to these processes. In melanocytes of alpacas, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) has been shown to improve melanogenesis through the cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway. miR-379 was predicted to target insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor 1 (IGF1R), which binds to IGF1. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-379 could mediate melanogenesis, migration and proliferation of melanocytes. Here, we report that miR-379 was highly expressed in alpaca melanocytes. Subsequent overexpression of miR-379 in alpaca melanocytes led to the generation of the phenotype of melanogenesis, proliferation and migration. In addition, the expression of genes related to these phenotypes in melanocytes was detected. Our results showed that miR-379 targets IGF1R in melanocytes. The overexpression of miR-379 stimulated dendrite extension or elongation and limited the perinuclear distribution of melanin, but inhibited melanogenesis via cAMP response element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB)/microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) pathway. miR-379 attenuated melanocyte migration by downregulating the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and enhanced melanocyte proliferation by upregulating protein kinase B (AKT). These observations suggest the involvement of miR-379 in the physiological regulation of melanocytes, mediated by targeting IGF1R on insulin receptor (IR) compensation and subsequent crosstalk.

RESUMO

Melanoma is a highly invasive malignant skin tumor having high metastatic rate and poor prognosis. The biology of melanoma is controled by miRNAs. The miRNA-183 cluster, which is composed of miRNA-183∼96∼182 genes, plays an important roles in tumor development. In order to investigate the role and action of miRNA-183 cluster in B16 cells, we overexpressed and knocked down miRNA-183 cluster in B16 cells. Using bioinformatics analysis, we predicted that the key framscript factor of melangenic genes. Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is one of the targets of miRNA-183 cluster. The results of Luciferase activity assays confirmed that MITF was targeted by miRNA-183 cluster. Overexpression and knockdown of miRNA-183 cluster in B16 cells resulted in down and up regulation of MITF expression, respectively at both mRNA and protein levels. Furthmore, overexpression and knockdown of the miRNA-183 cluster in B16 cells decreased and increased the expression of mRNA and protein of melangenic genes tyrosinase (TYR), and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1), dopachrome-tautomerase (DCT), as well as the production of melanins and eumelanin production, respectively. On the proliferation and migration pathway, overexpression and knockdown of miRNA-183 cluster increased and decreased, respectively the expression of mRNA and protein of mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MEK1), extracellular regulated protein kinases1/2 (ERK1/2) and cAMP-responsive-element binding protein (CREB). These results indicated that miRNA-183 cluster regulated melanogenesis in B16 cells as well as cell proliferation and migration by directly targeting MITF through migration pathway.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Melanocytes are derived from neural crest stem cells in the embryonic stage. In mature melanocytes, a series of complex enzyme-catalyzed reactions leads to the production of melanins, which determine the hair and skin colors of animals. The process of melanogenesis is complex and can be regulated by mRNA, microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) genes. MiRNAs are a type of endogenous noncoding RNA approximately 22 nt in size that predominantly regulate gene expression by inhibiting translation. miR-380-3p is a candidate miRNA potentially related to melanogenesis. To better understand the mechanism of miR-380-3p melanogenesis regulation, plasmids to overexpress or knockdown miR-380-3p were transfected into alpaca melanocytes, and their effects on melanogenesis were evaluated. RESULTS: In situ hybridization identified a positive miR-380-3p signal in alpaca melanocyte cytoplasm. Luciferase activity assays confirmed that SOX6 is targeted by miR-380-3p. miR-380-3p overexpression and knockdown in alpaca melanocytes respectively downregulated and upregulated SOX6 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. Additionally, miR-380-3p overexpression and knockdown, respectively, in alpaca melanocytes decreased and increased the mRNA levels of melanin transfer-related genes, including microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase (TYR), tyrosine-related protein-1 (TYRP1), and dopachrome tautomerase (DCT). In contrast, miR-380-3p overexpression and knockdown respectively increased and decreased the mRNA levels of ß-catenin. Additionally, the effect of miR-380-3p on melanogenesis was assessed by Masson-Fontana melanin staining. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that miR-380-3p targeted SOX6 to regulate melanogenesis by influencing ß-catenin and MITF transcription and translation, which reduced the expression of downstream genes, including TYR, TYRP1, and DCT. These results provide insights into the mechanisms through which miR-380-3p controls melanogenesis.

RESUMO

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve various roles in the regulation of melanogenesis in mammalian melanocytes that contribute to the development of hair color. The manipulation of the melanocyte action is a new target for genetic improvement. Short tandem target mimic (STTM) is a potent approach for silencing miRNAs in plants and animals. To investigate the function of miR­143­5p in melanogenesis, STTM was used to block the expression of miR­143­5p (STTM­miR­143­5p). The molecular analysis and luciferase reporter assay identified myosin Va gene (MYO5A) as one of the miR­143­5p targets. STTM­miR­143­5p overexpression resulted in an increased expression of downstream melanogenesis genes including microphthalmia­associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase family members [tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase­related protein 1 (TYRP1)], melanophilin (MLPH), and Rab27a, thereby contributing to melanocyte pigmentation by promoting total alkali­soluble melanogenesis (ASM) and eumelanin (EM) contents; conversely, STTM­miR­143­5p overexpression resulted in decreased expression of the tyrosinase­related protein 2 (TYRP2)/dopachrome tautomerase (DCT), which is responsible for decreased pheomelanin (PM) content in mouse melanocytes. The results indicated that melanin production in melanocytes could be increased by manipulating miR­143­5p expression using STTM which resulted in ASM and EM production.

RESUMO

Melanoma is an aggressive cancer with increasing incidence and a growing lifetime risk that arises from normal melanocytes or their precursors. A thorough understanding of the molecular mechanism of melanomagenesis and melanoma biology is essential for the diagnosis, prognostication, and therapy of melanoma. Cyclin-dependent protein kinase 5 (Cdk5) is one of the proteins highly expressed in B16-F10 melanoma cells that controls melanoma cell motility, invasiveness, and metastatic spread and might be a promising novel therapeutic target. The effect of Cdk5 on proliferation and migration, which are important for carcinogenesis, has not been reported. In the current study, we found that siRNA-mediated knockdown of Cdk5 in B16-F10 melanoma cells inhibited melanoma cell proliferation through downregulation of the CaMK4-p-CREB pathway, inhibited migration through downregulation of p-CREB, integrin beta 1, and integrin beta 5, and also inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin production through p-CREB-MITF regulation. The results indicate that Cdk5 controls melanoma development, with an essential regulatory role for p-CREB.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sex-determining region Y-box (SOX) proteins function as transcriptional regulators. The derivation of melanocytes from nerve crest cells has been reported to depend on SOX proteins, including SOX10 and SOX5. Whether SOX6 is expressed and has a functional role in melanocytes is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to study the effect of transcription factor SOX6 on melanogenesis in alpaca melanocytes. METHODS: We verified the role of SOX6 in melanogenesis by overexpressing and inhibiting SOX6 in melanocytes. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) experiments were performed to further explore the function of SOX6 in melanogenesis and its mechanism of melanin production. We found that SOX6 interacted with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK5), ß-catenin, and Cyclin D1. RESULTS: Bioinformatics analysis suggested that SOX6 has a phosphorylation site for CDK5, which regulates melanogenesis, suggesting that SOX6 might play a role in melanogenesis. Co-IP experiments indicated that SOX6 interacted with CDK5, ß-catenin, and Cyclin D1. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses of SOX6-overexpressing melanocytes revealed increased mRNA and protein expression of Cyclin D1, CDK5, microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase (TYR), tyrosine related protein-1 (TYRP1), and dopachrome-tautomerase (DCT), whereas ß-catenin levels decreased in SOX6-overexpressing melanocytes. The opposite results were observed upon SOX6 knockdown. The melanin content was significantly increased or decreased, respectively, by SOX6 overexpression or knockdown. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that SOX6 might enhance melanogenesis by binding with ß-catenin to increase Cyclin D1 and MITF expression.

RESUMO

microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be closely involved in the control of melanogenesis and hair colour in mammals. Previous data also indicate that miR-143 regulates cell growth in melanoma. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of miR-143-5p in alpaca melanocytes. We found that miR-143-5p was highly expressed in the cytoplasm of alpaca melanocytes as demonstrated by an in situ hybridization assay. Prediction analysis revealed that miR-143-5p could regulate TGF-ß-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) expression, which we confirmed by luciferase reporter assay, indicating that miR-143-5p controls TAK1 expression by directly targeting its 3' untranslated region (UTR). miR-143-5p overexpression decreased TAK1 expression, which led to increased melanocyte migration and proliferation, and downregulation of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), which regulates melanin production. These results support a functional role for miR-143-5p in regulating alpaca melanocyte migration, proliferation and melanogenesis through direct targeting of TAK1.

RESUMO

Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) is a proline-directed serine/threonine kinase that has been shown to play important roles in many tissues except the nervous system. We previously reported that CDK5 showed differential expression in the transcriptome profiles of the skin of alpacas with different hair colors. To understand the functional role of CDK5 in hair color determination, we constructed CDK5-knockdown mice and identified the effect on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in the mouse skin. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, co-immunoprecipitation, and western blotting were performed to analyze the effects of CDK5-knockdown on the MAPK pathway in mice. The results showed that MAP3K6 was inhibited by phosphorylated CDK5 through its activator CDK7. The decrease in MAP3K6 levels caused down-regulation of MEK1 and ERK expression, leading to the up-regulation of miR-143-3p, which targets MAP3K6 via Dicer. Taken together, our findings indicate that CDK5 functions in regulating the MAPK pathway. Given that MAP3K6 was inhibited in two directions, this mechanism can provide insight into the contributions of the MAPK/ERK pathway to the inhibition of melanin production.

RESUMO

The mammalian integumentary system plays important roles in body homeostasis, and dysfunction of melanogenesis or epidermal development may lead to a variety of skin diseases, including melanoma. Skin pigmentation in humans and coat color in fleece-producing animals are regulated by many genes. Among them, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and paired-box 3 (PAX3) are at the top of the cascade and regulate activities of many important melanogenic enzymes. Here, we report for the first time that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is an essential regulator of MITF and PAX3. Cdk5 knockdown in mice causes a lightened coat color, a polarized distribution of melanin and hyperproliferation of basal keratinocytes. Reduced expression of Keratin 10 (K10) resulting from Cdk5 knockdown may be responsible for an abnormal epidermal structure. In contrast, overexpression of Cdk5 in sheep (Ovis aries) only produces brown patches on a white background, with no other observable abnormalities. Collectively, our findings show that Cdk5 has an important functional role in the regulation of melanin production and transportation and in normal development of the integumentary system.

RESUMO

In order to investigate the effects of the insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) on alpaca melanocyte in vitro, different dosees of IGF1 (0, 10, 20, 40 ng/ml) were added in the medium of alpaca melanocyte. The RTCA machine was used to monitor the proliferation, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blot to test the relative gene expression, ELISA to test cAMP production, and spectrum method to test the melanin production. The results showed that compared to the normal melanocyte, the proliferation of melanocytes was increased within 60 h following adding IGF1. It also showed that cAMP content produced by melanocytes was increased, microphthalmia-associtated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TYRP2) expression was increased, and melanin production with most obvious change in 10 ng/ml supplementary group, when compared with the control group. The results suggested that IGF1 with the dose of 10 ng/ml had the important effects on the melanogenesis in alpaca melanocyte by the cAMP pathway.

RESUMO

In this study, a total of 323 Salmonella enterica strains were isolated from 3,566 rectal swab samples of 51 poultry farms in seven regions of 12 provinces of China between 2006 and 2012. The prevalences of Salmonella sp. carriage were 12.4% in geese (66 positive/533 samples), 10.4% in turkeys (32/309), 9.8% in chickens (167/1,706), 6.8% in ducks (41/601), and 4.1% in pigeons (17/417), respectively. These isolates belonged to 20 serovars, in which the most frequent serovars were S. enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Pullorum (herein, S. Pullorum) (55 isolates, 17.0%), S. enterica serovar Typhimurium (50 isolates, 15.5%), and S. enterica serovar Enteritidis (39 isolates, 12.1%). Overall, S. Typhimurium was the most commonly detected serovar; among the individual species, S. Pullorum was most commonly isolated from chickens, S. Enteritidis was most common in ducks, S. Typhimurium was most common in geese and pigeons, and S. enterica serovar Saintpaul was most common in turkeys. PCR determination of 20 fimbrial genes demonstrated the presence of bcfD, csgA, fimA, stdB, and sthE genes and the absence of staA and stgA genes in these isolates, and other loci were variably distributed, with frequency values ranging from 11.8 to 99.1%. These 323 Salmonella isolates were subdivided into 41 different fimbrial genotypes, and of these isolate, 285 strains (88.2%) had 12 to 14 fimbrial genes. Our findings indicated that the Salmonella isolates from different poultry species were phenotypically and genetically diverse and that some fimbrial genes are more frequently associated with serovars or serogroups.

RESUMO

Three hundred and thirty-seven isolates of Salmonella Pullorum from eastern China between 1962 and 2010 were characterized for antimicrobial susceptibility (disk diffusion method), the presence of integrons (polymerase chain reaction followed by sequencing) and the ability to form biofilms (semi-quantitative adherence assay). Two hundred and fifty-eight isolates (76.6%) exhibited multiple drug resistance (MDR; resistant to at least three different classes of antimicrobials), and the level of drug resistance is increasing with time. There were three isolates (9.4%) exhibiting MDR from 1962 to 1968. MDR rates began to increase for isolates between 1970 to 1979 and 1980 to 1987 (64.6 to 78.7%). The MDR rates reached 96.6% for isolates between 1990 and 2010. Polymerase chain reaction screening for integrons showed that 75 isolates (22.3%) were positive for class 1 integrons while none were positive for class 2 integrons. All of the class 1 integron-positive isolates exhibited MDR and were more frequently resistant than the negative isolates. Two hundred and twenty isolates (65.3%) had the ability to form biofilms, and bacterial resistance levels to cefamandole, trimethoprim and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole were significantly higher for biofilm-positive groups than the biofilm-negative groups. Our data show that multidrug resistance is common among S. Pullorum isolated from eastern China, being more frequent after 1990 than before 1990, and the presence of class 1 integrons is associated with multidrug resistance.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In order to reveal why SEF14 fimbriae are restrictively expressed on strains of serogroup D salmonella, mainly S. enteritidis and S. dublin, the difference and variation of the sef14 operon gene clusters in S. enteritidis and related serogroup-D Salmonella were analyzed. METHODS: The genes encoding subunits of sefA, sefD and sefR in S. pullorum, S. enteritidis and S. dublin were amplified by PCR method and then sequenced to analyze the the difference and variation, respectively. RESULTS: The results of PCR amplification showed that prevalence of sefA, sefD and sefR genes in S. enteritidis and S. dublin was 100%. In 18 isolates of S. pullorum, the prevalence of sefA gene was 100%,while the prevalence of sefD and sefR genes was 38.9% (7/18), and 11 strains isolated after 1980s did not contain any gene sefDor sefR. The sequencing data of PCR products revealed that sequences of sefA, sefD and sefR genes in S. enteritidis and S. dublin were identical with those those from NCBI GenBank data which accession number were L11008, U07129 and AF233854, respectively. Interestingly, among the 7 strains of S. pullorum before 1980s, the sefD sequence has a missing base pair at position 196 and caused open reading frame (ORF) shift, resulting in a stop codon (TAG) at position 71 amino acid residual (Leu of TTA at position 214 - 216 shift into stop codon of TAG at position 215 - 217). Unlike S. pullorum, all S. enteritidis and S. dublin tested could express SEF14 fimbriae in vitro. CONCLUSION: Based on the data of the difference and variation of sef14 operon gene clusters between S. enteritidis and S. pullorum, we may explain why SEF14 fimbriae in S. pullorum could not be expressed.

RESUMO

The effects of four pretreatment methods (acetonitrile extraction-evaporation concentration, acetonitrile extraction-solid phase extraction (SPE), matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction and MSPD-SPE) for the simultaneous analysis of diclazuril and toltrazuril residues in chicken tissues were compared. The average recovery of 70% for the former three methods as achieved. In comparison with other methods, the MSPD method saved more than 60% in time and solvent. So, MSPD as the sample pretreatment method, an MSPD-high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (MSPD-HPLC/UV) method was established for the analysis. Under the optimal chromatographic conditions, the linear range was between 50 and 1,000 microg/kg. At the added levels of 50, 500, 1,000 ng/g, the recoveries of diclazuril and toltrazuril in chicken tissues ranged from 71.13% - 84.02% with the relative standard deviations (RSD) in the range of 3.76% - 12.11%, and the RSDs of intra- and interday analyses ranged from 3.70% - 6.77%. The detection limits of diclazuril and toltrazuril were less than 10 microg/kg. The quantitative limits of diclazuril and toltrazuril were less than 20 microg/kg. The method meet the requirements of the residue analysis on accuracy and precision.

RESUMO

There are few data available for the trends of antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Pullorum (S. Pullorum) in China and other parts of the world. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in antimicrobial resistance of S. Pullorum isolated from diseased chickens in China from 1962 to 2007. A total of 450 S. Pullorum isolates were tested for their susceptibility to 17 antimicrobials in a disk diffusion method. 39-95% of the isolates displayed a high level of resistance, particularly against ampicillin, carbenicillin, streptomycin, tetracycline, trimethoprim and sulfafurazole. Isolates exhibited increased resistance to carbenicillin, spectinomycin, trimethoprim, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and nalidixic acid during the study period. Moreover, 56.2% of the isolates exhibited multiple drug resistance (MDR; resistance> or =4 antimicrobials) and showed an increasing trend between 1970-1979 and 2000-2007. Therefore, the results suggest that certain measures, including continued surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and the rational use of antimicrobials, are necessary and important in order to control the rapid increase in antimicrobial resistance in S.
