Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on the expression levels of miR-27 and miR-143 inpig adipose tissue
Authors: R.L. Qi, Y. Chen, J.X. Huang andF.Y. Yang
In this study, we evaluated the effect and possible mechanism of action of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on pig body fat deposition. Landrace piglets (N = 48) were randomly divided into three groups, which were fed diets containing 0% (control), 1%, or 2% CLA. Dorsal and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissues were collected, and real-time polymer.. Read More»

Construction of a cDNA library of the Chinese wild Vitis amurensis under cold stress and analysis of potential hardiness-related expressed sequence tags
Authors: J. Zhang, N. Liu, R. Niu, Y. Liu, H. Zhai, W. Xu and Y. Wang
A cDNA library of Chinese wild Vitis amurensis, which is the most cold-resistant species in the genus Vitis, was constructed using young leaves of seedlings of the clone Heilongjiang potted and subjected to cold stress. The leaves were harvested at various times after cold stress for total RNA extraction, which was used to generate expressed sequence tags.. Read More»

Expression of glutamine synthetase in Tegillarca granosa (Bivalvia, Arcidae) hemocytes stimulated by Vibrio parahaemolyticus and lipopolysaccharides
Authors: Y.B. Bao, L. Li, M.X. Ye, Y.H. Dong, W.X. Jin and Z.H. Lin
The blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa, is a widely consumed clam in the Indo-Pacific region. Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an enzyme that plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine. We identified the GS of T. granosa (Tg-GS) from hemocytes by 3'- and 5'-rapid amplification .. Read More»

Comparative analysis of the liver tissue transcriptomes of Mongolian and Lanzhou fat-tailed sheep
Authors: X. Cheng, S.G. Zhao, Y. Yue, Z. Liu, H.W. Li and J.P. Wu
Research on gene regulation has been made possible with the help of RNA sequencing applications such as RNA-Seq technology for high-throughput sequencing platforms. Recent studies have explored the transcriptomes from different tissues of domestic animals using RNA-Seq technology, but little research has been done to study the.. Read More»

Expression and diagnostic value of proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Authors: Z.Y. Zhu, Y. Liu, H.B. Wang, J.Z. Xiao, Y.F. Qiu, L. Yan, D. Chen, A.G. Liu and X. Yang
We constructed a prokaryotic expression vector expressing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein TB16.3, as well as 3 other proteins, including TB15.3, CFP-10, and Rv2626C, which were purified and analyzed for their effectiveness as detection antibodies. The TB16.3 genes of M. tuberculosis H37Rv geno.. Read More»

Genomic analysis of gum disease and hypertrichosis in foxes
Authors: J.-A.B.J. Clark, D. Whalen and H.D. Marshall
Since the 1940s, a proliferative gingival disease called hereditary hyperplastic gingivitis (HHG) has been described in the farmed silver fox, Vulpes vulpes (Dyrendahl and Henricson 1960). HHG displays an autosomal recessive transmission and has a pleiotropic relationship with superior fur quality in terms of length and thickn.. Read More»

Immunomodulatory effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on T lymphocytes in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis
Authors: C.H. Guo, L.X. Han, M.R. Wan, G.J. Deng and J.H. Gan
We explored the immunomodulatory effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on peripheral blood T lymphocytes in patients with decompensation stage, hepatitis B-associated cirrhosis. MSCs from nine patients were analyzed by flow cytometry. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated for fluorescent staining. Following stimulation by phytohemaggl.. Read More»
