    Objective To analyze the thermal stability of an imported rotavirus vaccine RotaTeq(RV5). Methods The virus titers of RV5 vaccine stored at 22 ~ 25 ℃ and 37 ℃ for various time durations were determined by real-time PCR,based on which the titers of vaccine strains of five types(G1,G2,G3,G4 and P1) and the total titer were calculated using the titer of reference vaccine as standard. The VP7 sequence of RV5 vaccine strain of type G3 was amplified and compared with that of prototypic strain r G3 in GenBank. Results The decrease rates of titers of vaccine strains of types G1,G2,G3,G4 and P1 and the total titer were 3. 51%,2. 26%,3. 19%,5. 22%,3. 18% and 3. 61% per day respectively at 25 ℃,which showed no significant difference between various types(P > 0. 05). However,at 37 ℃,the decrease rate of vaccine strain of type G3(31. 20% per hour) was significantly higher than those of other types(G1:0. 75%;G2:0. 31%;G4:1. 08%;P1:2. 07%)(P < 0. 05). The half life of titer of vaccine strain of type G3 at 37 ℃was only 0. 07 d,while that of its prototypic strain rG3 was 2. 10 d. The RV5 vaccine strain of type G3 was different from its prototypic strain in scattered amino acids(F32 L,T69 A,L83 F,I118 T,D151 G and P275 L)as well as nucleotides in5′ untransplated region(UTR)(T25 C) and 3′ UTR(G1041 A,A1045 G,G1046 A,G1047 A,C1048 T and A1053 T).Conclusion The RV5 vaccine strains of various types showed high thermal stability at 25 ℃. However,at 37 ℃,the low thermal stability of vaccine strain of type G3 showed significant impact on the thermal stability of RV5 vaccine by a possible mechanism of nucleotide mutation in VP7 UTR.

    Objective To investigate the correlation of KRAS and NRAS gene mutations to microsatellite instability(MSI) by determination of the mutations and MSI in colorectal cancer(CRC). Methods The expressions of four mismatch repair(MMR) proteins in 210 cases of CRC were determined by immunohistochemistry(IHC),while the distribution of MSI by fluorescence multiplex PCR-capillary electrophoresis,and the mutations of KRAS and NRAS genes in patients with CRC by amplification refractory mutation system(ARMS)-fluorescent PCR. Results The total deletion rate of MMR protein expression was 9. 5%(20/210),while the expression deletion rates of MLH1,PMS2,MSH2 and MSH6 were 6. 7%(14/210),6. 2%(13/210),1%(2/210) and 1. 9%(4/210) respectively. The incidences of high-frequency microsatellite instability(MSI-H)and low-frequency microsatellite instability(MSI-L)in 210 cases of CRC were 10. 5%(22/210) and 0. 5%(1/210) respectively. The consistency of IHC and fluorescence multiplex PCRcapillary electrophoresis in test for MSI was 96. 2%. The mutation rates of KRAS and NRAS genes in CRC were 46. 7%and 2. 9% respectively. MSI was associated with age,tumor location and clinical stage(P < 0. 05). KRAS gene mutation was associated with gender,clinical stage and distant metastasis(P < 0. 05). There was no apparent association between NRAS gene mutation and clinicopathological features(P > 0. 05). The mutation rate of KRAS gene in MSS CRC was higher than that in MSI CRC(P < 0. 05). Univariate survival analysis showed that KRAS gene mutation,clinical stage and distant metastasis were the poor prognostic factors of CRC(P < 0. 05). However,multivariate COX regression analysis showed that distant metastasis and KRAS gene mutation were independent prognostic risk factors for CRC.Conclusion MSI is negatively correlated with KRAS gene mutation in CRC. KRAS gene mutation is an independent prognostic risk factor for CRC;IHC and fluorescence multiplex PCR-capillary electrophoresis showed a high consistency in test for MSI.

    Objective To investigate the effect of up-regulation of the expression of thioredoxin interacting protein(TXNIP)on senescence of islet β cells as well as the possible mechanism. Methods Two stably transfected INS-1 isletβ cells,Ad-TXNIP-GFP for overexpressing TXNIP and TXNIP-ShRNA for silencing TXNIP,were constructed,in which the expression levels of p16,p21,Rb and p53 proteins and the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK were determined by Western blot. The cells were treated with p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and p35 inhibitor Pifithrin-β,and determined for the expression levels of above-mentioned proteins by Western blot. Results The over-expression of TXNIP promoted the expressions of p21,p16,Rb and p53 proteins,the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK(P < 0. 01)and the senescence of INS-1 cells. However,TXNIP silencing inhibited the expressions of p21,p16,Rb and p53 proteins,the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK(P < 0. 05) and the senescence of INS-1 cells. Both the inhibitors of p38 MAPK and p53 inhibited the expressions of p21 and Rb proteins(P < 0. 05)and relieved the cell senescence,while the p38 MAPK inhibitor inhibited the expression of p53 protein(P < 0. 05). However,the p53 inhibitor showed no influence on the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and the expression of p16(P > 0. 05). Conclusion TXNIP promoted the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and upregulated the expressions of p16 and p53,and then increased the expressions of p21 and Rb protein so as to induce the senescence of INS-1 cells.

    Objective To develop and validate a sandwich ELISA for residual host cell proteins(HCP)of CHO cells in recombinant human anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody. Methods The coverage of product-specific CHO HCP population of recombinant human anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody recognized by rabbit(Cat. NO AB000103-A and AB000103-C) and goat(Cat. NO 3 G-0016-PA)anti-CHO HCPs polyclonal antibodies was determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis with Western blot(2 D-Western blot). The polyclonal antibody with the highest coverage was selected as the detection antibody,based on which a sandwich ELISA method for detection of residual HCP in product was developed and validated for linearity,matrix interference,dilution linearity,sensitivity,precision and accuracy. Results Rabbit anti-CHO HCP polyclonal antibody with a coverage of 57% was screened as the detection antibody. Since the matrix of samples interferred in the detemination of HCP,the samples needed to be diluted by 6 folds. The linear range of the developed sandwich ELISA was 3. 33 ~ 810 ng/mL(R2 = 1). Both the CVs in intra-and inter-assays were less than 12%,while the detection limit and quantitative limit in validation for sensitivity were 2. 4 and 20 ng/mL respectively. The recovery rates of spike samples at concentrations of 20,150 and 300 ng/mL were 99. 5%,97. 1% and 100. 3% respectively.Conclusion A sandwich ELISA method was successfully developed,which showed high sensitivity,accuracy,precision and good linearity,and was suitable for detection of residual HCP in recombinant human anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody.

    Objective To analyze the changes of serum metabolites during development of chick embryo by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS). Methods A total of 120 fertilized eggs from Ross 308 hens were randomly divided into two groups,20 for each in triplicates. Serum samples were collected on day 14 after incubation(E14) and day 1 after being hatched(H1). LC-MS quadrapole time of flight system(LC/MS-QTOF) combined with principal component analysis(PCA),partial least squares-discriminate analysis(PLS-DA)and variable important for the projection(VIP)were applied to determine the differentially changed metabolites,and metabolite set enrichment analysis(MSEA)to analyze the pathways involved in. Results Thirty-eight serum metabolites showed significant changes on H1 as compared with those on E14,of which one increased significantly and 37 decreased significantly. The differential metabolites were mainly enriched in 22 metabolism pathways,of which L-threonine,L-leucine,L-isoleucine and Lmethionine were mainly enriched in protein synthesis pathway,while L-lactic acid,α-ketoglutarate and β-D-glucose in gluconeogenesis pathway,and L-isoleucine,L-leucine and lipoamide in degradation pathway of valine,leucine and isoleucine. However,all the contents of the differential metabolites enriched in various metabolic pathways on H1 decreased significantly as compared with those on E14. Conclusion The metabolites in sera on E14 and H1 showed significant difference,which showed a certain effect on the development of chick embryo. The metabolites may be used as the additives of daily diet of chicks starting from H1 so as to meet the requirement for growth of broilers,improve the production performance of broilers,save the protein forage and decrease the cost.

  • Progress in research on action mechanism of LncRNA in Alzheimer disease

    LIU Hui;ZHANG Ya-lan;ZHANG Wei;WANG Man-xia;Department of Neurology,The Second Hospital of Lanzhou University;

    Alzheimer disease(AD)is a typical neurodegenerative disease,of which the course is progressive,and the main clinical manifestations are progressive memory impairment,cognitive impairment,personality change and language impairment. Pathological features of AD include extracellularβ-amyloid deposition, neurofibrillary tangles(NFTs),neuronal loss,synaptic and vegetative neuritis. However,the pathogenesis and molecular spectrum of the above pathological changes are still unclear,which brings great challenges to the early diagnosis and treatment of AD. Long noncoding RNA(LncRNA) is a type of RNA with a length of more than 200 nucleotide units,which is involved in the occurrence and development of many neurodegenerative diseases,such as Parkinson disease(PD) and AD. More and more studies have found a close relationship between LncRNAs and AD. Therefore,in order to further understand the role and mechanism of LncRNA in AD,this paper reviews the role of LncRNAs such as BACEL-AS,NEAT1,51 A,BC200 and EBF3-AS in AD,so as to provide a basis for early diagnosis and clinical treatment of AD.

  • Progress in research on production procedure of virus-based biologicals

    YUAN Su-ying;TANG Rong-hong;YU Hong-wei;Tianjin Ringpu Biotechnology Co.,Ltd.;

    Viruses consist of protein envelope and internal genetic material(DNA or RNA),which are replicated themselves by using host cell system,without the capacity of growing and replicating independently. Viruses may infect almost all the organisms with cell structure,resulting in various diseases. At present,there are no specially effective drugs for most of diseases caused by virus infection,so vaccination is an effective measure to prevent the diseases. Isolation and purification of viral protein are the key technological steps of production of virus-based biologicals. This paper reviews the progress in research on virus-based biologicals and the production procedure of the biologicals applied successfully in the aspects of expression system,procedure development and test technique.

  • Progress in research on correlation of estrogen receptor signaling pathway with osteoporosis

    SHAO Jia-le;ZHOU Jian;LI Zhi-zhong;CHEN Ke-ming;Lanzhou University of Technology;

    Osteoporosis is a systemic disease due to the increased bone fragility caused by osteopenia and loose bone tissue structure,leaving the bones vulnerable to fracture. The disease is mainly correlated with amenorrhoea,life style,nutrition,abnormal hormone metabolism and inheritance. Estrogen receptor(ER)consisting of ERα and ERβ is contained in several parts of female body,which may bind to estrogen and form dimer complex to activate various downstream signal cascade reaction,thus plays an important regulatory role in bone formation and bone resorption of osteoclasts and influences the osteogenic differentiation ability. This paper reviews the correlation of ER signaling pathway with osteoporosis.
