简介:目的探讨htrA、clpP基因缺失对变异链球菌耐酸性的影响。方法变异链球菌标准株及htrA缺陷株、clpP缺陷株培养至对数中期分成两组,一组作为实验组进行5h预酸化处理(pH=5.5),一组作为对照组在普通乳酪消化胨酵母(TPY)培养液中处理5h,然后将两组菌株在致死性酸环境(pH=3.0)处理3h,每隔1h取菌液采用平板活菌计数法测定活菌数,计算得到生存率,统计学分析。结果3h内,未经预酸化处理三种菌株生存率相比差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05),预酸化处理后,与标准株相比htrA缺陷株和clpP缺陷株生存率都有下降(P〈0.05),两种缺陷株相比生存率差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05),预酸化处理的标准株和htrA缺陷株生存率均明显高于未经预酸化处理(P〈0.05),预酸化处理对生存率的影响大于两种基因分别缺失(P〈0.05)。结论与变异链球菌标准株相比,htrA缺陷株和clpP缺陷株耐酸能力有不同程度的下降。
简介:AbstractBackground:Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in high temperature requirement serine peptidase A1 (HTRA1) gene are responsible for cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL). Recently, increasing evidence has shown that heterozygous HTRA1 mutations are also associated with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. This study was aimed to analyze the genetic and clinical characteristics of HTRA1-related autosomal dominant CSVD.Methods:We presented three new Chinese cases of familial CSVD with heterozygous HTRA1 mutations and reviewed all clinical case reports and articles on HTRA1-related autosomal dominant CSVD included in PUBMED by the end of March 1, 2020. CARASIL probands with genetic diagnosis reported to date were also reviewed. The genetic and clinical characteristics of HTRA1-related autosomal dominant CSVD were summarized and analyzed by comparing with CARASIL.Results:Forty-four HTRA1-related autosomal dominant CSVD probands and 22 CARASIL probands were included. Compared with typical CARASIL, HTRA1-related autosomal dominant probands has a higher proportion of vascular risk factors (P < 0.001), a later onset age (P < 0.001), and a relatively slower clinical progression. Alopecia and spondylosis can be observed, but less than those in the typical CARASIL. Thirty-five heterozygous mutations in HTRA1 were reported, most of which were missense mutations. Amino acids located close to amino acids 250-300 were most frequently affected, followed by these located near 150∼200. While amino acids 250∼300 were also the most frequently affected region in CARASIL patients, fewer mutations precede the 200th amino acids were detected, especially in the Kazal-type serine protease domain.Conclusions:HTRA1-related autosomal dominant CSVD is present as a mild phenotype of CARASIL. The trend of regional concentration of mutation sites may be related to the concentration of key sites in these regions which are responsible for pathogenesis of HTRA1-related autosomal dominant CSVD.
简介:摘要HTRA丝氨酸肽酶1(HTRA1)基因突变可导致常染色体隐性遗传性脑动脉病伴皮质下梗死和白质脑病以及HTRA1相关显性遗传性脑小血管病(CSVD)。文中对HTRA1相关CSVD的定义、临床特征、MRI表现、基因和病理检查以及治疗方案进行了描述,归纳总结了该类疾病的临床特点,强调HTRA1相关CSVD与其他脑白质病变之间的区别,提出了在常规临床环境下识别HTRA1相关CSVD的诊断途径。除常规CSVD治疗外,该病的靶向治疗方法尚需建立。
简介:摘要:遗传学研究生物的遗传、变异及其规律;人类对遗传的研究从性状开始的,遗传因子的发现到证明遗传密码的存在并破译遗传密码的过程是人们认识遗传的物质基础并揭示遗传规律的过程,在此过程当中遗传基因这个抽象的概念在思维上和实质上逐渐接近染色体、DNA;然后科学家们证明基因是有遗传效应的DNA的片段,从此基因不再是抽象的概念,以后人们又发现性状的表达离不开蛋白质(酶)合成,于是科学家们推测并证明基因通过指导蛋白质的合成而控制生物的性状,于是最终孟德尔的假设得到了科学解释。人民对遗传学的研究是实质上揭示基因表达的过程,这是生物学史上的重大发现。
简介:目的比较HBVS基因与HCVC基因真核表达质粒融合基因免疫与联合基因免疫的效果,为HBV和HCV融合基因疫苗研究奠定基础。方法将同时含HBVS基因与HCVC基因的真核表达质粒SCpcDNA3.1、含HBVS基因真核表达质粒SpcDNA3.1、含HCVC基因真核表达质粒CpcDNA3.1分别免疫小鼠;将SpcDNA3.1+CpcDNA3.1联合免疫小鼠。ELISA法检测血清抗HBs和抗HCV。结果无论是抗HBs和抗HCV阳转出现的时间、阳转率和体液免疫应答强度,融合基因免疫都优于联合基因免疫:融合基因免疫的抗HBs的应答强度低于SpcDNA3.1质粒的免疫,抗HBc的应答强度高于CpcDNA3.1质粒的免疫。结论HCVC基因或其表达产物对HBVS基因或抗原的表达和提呈有抑制作用;HCVC基因与HBVS基因相融合,更有利于HCV核心蛋白的提呈。
