致病性哈维氏弧菌:海洋寄生性纤毛虫的内共生细菌

哈维氏弧菌被观察到与海洋寄生性纤毛虫刺激隐核虫具有内共生现象,其作为一种致病性细菌,可导致感染刺激隐核虫的大黄鱼产生严重的继发性细菌感染。我们通过16s宏测序技术对刺激隐核虫的细菌群落进行鉴定,并通过标准的细菌培养方法分离鉴定出哈维氏弧菌。通过透射电镜和荧光原位杂交方法,在刺激隐核虫的细胞胞质中,均观察到内共生的哈维氏弧菌的存在;而在其细胞核中,则没有相关信号存在。哈维氏弧菌与刺激隐核虫的相关关系以及内共生的哈维氏弧菌对刺激隐核虫的影响作用,仍需要深入进行研究。     

海洋细菌脂肪酸的气相色谱分析

以副溶血性弧菌VP-X-3为试验对象,利用气相色谱技术分析了其细胞脂肪酸的组成和含量,以色谱峰的数量、色谱峰高及脂肪酸含量作为评价指标,探讨了不同的皂化和甲酯化条件对细菌细胞脂肪酸测定结果的影响。结果表明:皂化和甲酯化条件都对细胞脂肪酸的组成和含量产生一定的影响。较低温度皂化处理利于增加色谱峰数量和色谱峰高。甲酯化温度过高容易破坏脂肪酸,尤其是长链脂肪酸和不饱和脂肪酸的结构。高温甲酯化条件下,时间越长,甲酯化效果越差。试验得到较为理想的气相色谱前处理条件:2 mol/L NaOH-甲醇溶液2 mL,70℃水浴10 min;10%(V/V)H2SO4-甲醇溶液2 mL,70℃水浴15 min。此条件下的色谱峰的数量多达29种,色谱峰高明显高于其他处理条件下的峰高。     

鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)对青蛤(Cyclina sinensis)的毒性及半致死浓度研究

利用不同浓度的鳗弧菌对青蛤进行了急性毒性实验,观察青蛤在菌液胁迫下的存活情况,进一步统计得到鳗弧菌对青蛤的半致死浓度。结果表明,青蛤在鳗弧菌液浓度OD600为1.0—2.2范围内,胁迫96h以内死亡率呈逐渐上升趋势,并且在OD600=2.2时所有受试个体全部死亡。在相同的胁迫时间内,受试个体死亡率与胁迫浓度均呈正相关。经SPSS16.0软件分析后,最终得到鳗弧菌对青蛤的半致死浓度(LC50)为OD600=1.57,说明鳗弧菌对青蛤有明显的毒害作用。     

An extracellular oligopeptide permease may be a potential virulence factor of Vibrio harveyi

An oligopeptide permease A(OppA)was purified from the extracellular product of Vibrio harveyi SF-1.The molecular weight of the purified protein was estimated to be 58 kDa on SDS-PAGE.The purified protein showed phospholipase C activity at the optimal values of temperature 50℃ and pH 8.0.The enzymatic activity decreased when the temperature increased to 40℃.The N-terminal sequence of the purified protein was determined as ADVPAGTKLA,which is similar to that of OppA.The OppA pre-cursor gene was cloned from th...     

Characterization of EmpA protease in Vibrio anguillarum M3

EmpA is an extracellular metalloprotease secreted by Vibrio anguillarum.For better understanding its role in the patho-genicity of V.anguillarum strain M3,empA insertion mutant was constructed.In the mutant it decreased in extracellular proteolytic activity,swarming motility,hemolytic activity and virulence on turbot(Scophthalmus maximus).Significant decline(by 5-fold)of extracellular proteolytic activity and similar growth curve between mutant and wild type strains indicated that EmpA was the major extracellular protease of M3.LD50 of mutant increased by 38-fold compared with wild type.No pro-EmpA was detected in the su-pernatant of culture,indicating that EmpA autolyzed to mature protein after 24 h.Secretion of EmpA in M3 was similar to that in NB10 strain.Attenuated virulence of mutant was similar to that of M93Sm strain.It was demonstrated that specific operation of EmpA was different from that in previous studies and EmpA contributed to the swarming motility and hemolytic activity in V.an-guillarum strain M3.The results provides insight into understanding the function of EmpA and its potential application in vaccine development.     

Influence of dietary probiotic Bacillus TC22 and Prebiotic fructooligosaccharide on growth, immune responses and disease resistance against Vibrio splendidus infection in sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

The effects of probiotic Bacillus TC22 (isolated from intestine of infected sea cucumber) and prebiotic fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on growth, immunity and disease resistance in sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus were studied. Six experimental diets were formulated with combinations of three levels of TC22 (0, 107 and 109 CFU g-1 diet) and two levels of FOS (0 and 0.5%) in a 3 × 2 factorial experiment. At the end of the 8-week feeding trial,animals were challenged by injecting Vibrio splendidus. The results revealed that the specific growth rates (SGR) of sea cucumbers were not affected by TC22 and FOS, or the interaction between TC22 and FOS (P > 0.05). However,there were significant interactions between TC22 and FOS for immune response and disease resistance in sea cucumbers (P < 0.05). When sea cucumbers were fed with TC22 at 109 CFU g?1 feed and 0.5% FOS alone or in combination, the phagocytosis, respiratory burst and phenoloxidase activity of sea cucumber coelomocytes were significantly enhanced;the disease resistance against V. splendidus infection was also increased significantly (P < 0.05).However, dietary combination of TC22 at 109 CFU g-1 diet and 0.5% FOS did not yield significantly higher efficiency than either TC22 at 109 CFU g-1 diet or 0.5% FOS used alone (P > 0.05). Therefore, further studies should examine the effects of combinations of other levels of FOS(> 0.5% or < 0.5%) and TC22 on the immunity and disease resistance of sea cucumbers.     

香鱼(Plecoglossus altivelis)脾脏酪氨酸激酶SYK的鉴定及其介导的MAPK信号通路研究

脾脏酪氨酸激酶(SYK)是一种非受体型酪氨酸激酶(non-receptor tyrosine kinase, NRTK)。在哺乳动物中,SYK是重要的细胞信号通路接头分子,其在免疫细胞活化,胞外刺激的信号转导和病原体识别等多种生命过程中扮演重要角色,然而在鱼类中却鲜有报道。本研究以香鱼(Plecoglossus altivelis)为研究对象,探讨了其SYK(PaSYK)在应对病原微生物感染及在活化免疫信号通路中的作用。我们克隆获得了香鱼SYK的cDNA序列,并利用多重序列比对、构建进化树等生物信息学方法分析PaSYK的进化地位;采用实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)方法分析PaSYK在健康组织及鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)感染后的表达变化;亚细胞定位检测PaSYK在HEK293T细胞的分布情况;在香鱼头肾单核/巨噬细胞(Monocyte/macrophage,MO/MΦ)中过表达PaSYK,研究其对炎症细胞因子表达的调控作用并在HEK293T细胞及香鱼头肾MO/MΦ中研究PaSYK对MAPK信号通路的活化作用。多重序列比对结果显示,SYK的蛋白质序列和结构域在进化...

大菱鲆家系选育二代7种免疫因子的分析

为选育高成活率的大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)抗鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)群体,对30个大菱鲆选育二代家系(F2)和1个普通养殖群体进行鳗弧菌攻毒实验(周期为14 d),统计分析死亡率。选取死亡率不同的6个选育家系和普通养殖群体构成7个实验组,采用半定量-聚合酶链反应(semi-quantitative polymerase Chain reaction,RT-PCR)技术对它们肝脏、脾脏、头肾的相关免疫因子——溶菌酶(Lysozyme)、抗菌肽(Hepcidin)、热激蛋白70(HSP70)、热激蛋白90(HSP90)、免疫球蛋白(Ig M)、C-型凝集素(C-type lectin)、Lily-型凝集素(Lily-type lectin)的表达量开展研究,并应用SPSS 16.0软件对攻毒前后各免疫因子的表达量与攻毒后存活率之间的相关性进行分析。研究结果表明:攻毒前后选育家系幼鱼肝脏、脾脏、头肾中7个免疫因子的表达量普遍高于普通养殖幼鱼,且在7个实验组中,攻毒后的表达量相较攻毒前均呈现下降趋势;攻毒前,肝脏中lysozyme、Ig M的表达量与存活率为极显著性正相关(P0.01),HSP70、HSP90、C-type lectin、Lily-type lectin的表达量与存活率为显著性正相关(P0.05);脾脏中,Hepcidin、HSP70和HSP90的表达量与存活率为极显著性正相关(P0.01);头肾中,HSP70的表达量与存活率为显著正相关(P0.05)。综上,可以推断选育家系相对于普通养殖群体大菱鲆抗鳗弧菌性能更强,且7种免疫因子在鳗弧菌感染鱼体的过程中发挥重要的抗感染作用;从F2中获得一个抗鳗弧菌性能较强的家系(23号),可用于今后大菱鲆抗鳗弧菌品系的选育指导工作,为大菱鲆高成活率群体的选育提供参考资料和理论依据。
