| 1 | Transgenic rhesus monkeys carrying the human MCPH1 gene copies show human-like neoteny of brain development显示文摘Brain size and cognitive skills are the most dramatically changed traits in humans during evolution and yet the genetic mechanisms underlying these human-specific changes remain elusive.Here,we successfully generated 11 transgenic rhesus monkeys(8 first-generation and 3 second-generation)carrying human copies of MCPH1,an important gene for brain development and brain evolution.Brain-image and tissue-section analyses indicated an altered pattern of neural-cell differentiation,resulting in a delayed neuronal maturation and neural-fiber myelination of the transgenic monkeys,similar to the known evolutionary change of developmental delay(neoteny)in humans.Further brain-transcriptome and tissue-section analyses of major developmental stages showed a marked human-like expression delay of neuron differentiation and synaptic-signaling genes,providing a molecular explanation for the observed brain-developmental delay of the transgenic monkeys.More importantly,the transgenic monkeys exhibited better short-term memory and shorter reaction time compared with the wild-type controls in the delayed-matching-to-sample task.The presented data represent the first attempt to experimentally interrogate the genetic basis of human brain origin using a transgenic monkey model and it values the use of non-human primates in understanding unique human traits. | Lei Shi Xin Luo Jin Jiang Yongchang chen Cirong Liu Ting Hu Min Li Qiang Lin Yanjiao Li Jun Huang Hong Wang Yuyu Niu Yundi Shi Martin Styner Jianhong Wang Yi Lu Xuejin Sun Hualin Yu Weizhi Ji Bing Su | 2019 | National Science Review2019,6,3: | 12 |
| 2 | Effects of Dietary Corn Gluten Meal on Growth Performance and Protein Metabolism in Relation to IGF-I and TOR Gene Expression of Juvenile Cobia (Rachycentron canadum)显示文摘A growth experiment was conducted on cobia(Rachycentron canadum,initial weight 108.2 g ± 3.0 g) to investigate the effects of dietary corn gluten meal(CGM) levels on the fish growth,whole body composition and protein metabolism in relation to specific gene expression.Five isonitrogenous(crude protein 45%) and isoenergetic(gross energy 20 kJ g 1) practical diets were formulated by replacing 0%(the control),17.5%,35.0%,52.5%,and 70.0% of fish meal(FM) protein with CGM protein.No significant differences were observed in the survival,feed intake(FI),specific growth rate(SGR),feed efficiency(FE) and protein productive value(PPV) among fish fed diets with 0%,17.5%,35.0%,and 52.5% of CGM protein.However,these indices were significantly lower in fish fed the diet with 70.0% of CGM protein than those in fish fed the control diet(P < 0.05).The whole-body crude protein and lipid contents were significantly lower while the whole-body moisture content was significantly higher in fish fed the diet with 70.0% of CGM protein compared with the control group(P < 0.05).When 70.0% of FM protein was replaced by CGM,plasma total protein and cholesterol contents were significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0.05).Fish fed the diet with 70.0% of CGM protein had significantly lower hepatic insulin-like growth factor I(IGF-I) expression levels than those in the control group(P < 0.05).However,no significant differences were observed in hepatic target of rapamycin(TOR),dorsal muscle IGF-I and TOR expression levels among dietary treatments.Results of the present study indicated that 52.5% of FM protein could be replaced by CGM in the diets without significant influences on the growth,feed utilization and protein metabolism of juvenile cobia.The present results might be useful for developing cost effective and sustainable cobia dietary formulations. | LUO Yiwen AI Qinghui MAI Kangsen ZHANG Wenbing XU Wei ZHANG Yanjiao LIUFU Zhiguo | 2013 | Journal of Ocean University of China2013,12,3: | 10 |

| 4 | Genome-wide analysis of UGT gene family identified key gene for the biosynthesis of bioactive flavonol glycosides in Epimedium pubescens Maxim显示文摘Epimedium pubescens Maxim.is a well-known traditional Chinese medicinal herb with flavonol glycosides as the major pharmaceutically active compounds.UDP-glycosyltransferases(UGTs)are a group of enzymes responsible for the glycosylation of flavonoid glycosides.In this study,a genome-wide analysis was performed to identify UGT family genes in E.pubescens.As a result,a total of 339 putative UGT genes were identified,which represents the largest UGT gene family known thus far,implying a significant expansion of the UGT gene family in E.pubescens.All EpUGTs were unevenly distributed across six chromosomes,and they were classified into 17 major groups.The expression profiles showed that UGT genes were differentially expressed in roots,leaves,flowers,shoots and fruits.In particular,several EpUGTs were highly induced by high light intensity,which was consistent with the accumulation level of bioactive flavonoids in E.pubescens.Six UGT79 genes that were preferentially expressed in roots or leaves were successfully expressed in E.coli,and only the recombinant EpGT60 protein was found to be active toward 8-prenylkaempferol and icaritin to produce the key bioactive compounds baohuoside II and baohuoside I.The optimal temperature,pH,k_(m) and V_(max) were determined for the recombinant EpGT60 protein.In addition,expression of recombinant EpGT60 in E.coli cell culture led to successful production of baohuoside II when fed 8-prenylkaempferol.Our study provides a foundation for further functional characterization of UGT genes in E.pubescens and provides key candidate genes for bioengineering bioactive flavonoids in E.pubescens. | Yu Yao Jiajun Gu Yanjiao Luo Yuanyue Wang Yongzhen Pang Guoan Shen Baolin Guo | 2022 | Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology2022,7,4: | 0 |
