The coverage percentage （%） and size （Mb） of Cot-1 DNA in O. sativa, O. officinalis, and O. meyeriana were 47.1 ±0.16, 38.61 ±0.13, 44.38＋_0.13, and 212.33 ± 1.21,269.42 ± 0.89, 532.56± 1.68 Mb, respectively. The coverage percentage and size of genomic DNA from O. sativa in O. officinalis and O. meyeriana were 91.0, 93.6% and 634, 1 123 Mb, respectively, in which 365 and 591 Mb in O. officinalis and O. meyeriana were from O. sativa genomic DNA, but not from repetitive sequences of O. sativa, and the uncoverage genome size in O. officinalis and O. meyeriana were 64 and 78 Mb, respectively. In addition, karyotype analysis was conducted based on the signal bands of Cot-1 DNA in O. sativa, O. officinalis, and O. meyeriana. The results showed that highly and moderately repetitive sequences in Oryza genus were conserved as the functional genes during evolution. The repetitive sequences reduplication may be one of the important causes of the genome enlargement of O. officinalis and O. meyeriana, and O. officinalis genome enlarged more slowly when compared with O. meyeriana. Based on the above results, it is concluded that O. officinalis and O. meyeriana were formed by reduplication, rearrangement, and gene selective loss during the evolution process.展开更多

Understanding the changes in chicken Toll-like receptors （ChTLRs） and signal adaptors expression that occur with Eimeria tenella infection will help to elucidate the molecular basis of immune control of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria. The present study detected the dynamic changes in the expression of ChTLRs and associated signal adaptors in the spleen and cecum ofE. tenella-infected chickens during the early stage of infection. The results showed that the expression peak for ChTLRs, MyD88 and TRIF occurred at 12 h post-infection （hpi）, ChTLR3, ChTLRI 5 and MyD88 mRNA expression in the spleen ofE. tenella infected chickens were significantly higher （P〈0.05） than that of negative control chickens, and there were similar tendencies of these molecules expression in the cecum and spleen of E. tenella-infected chickens. The expression of MyD88 was upregnlated at four time points in the cecum of E. tenella-infected chickens. The results of this study indicate that ChTLR3, ChTLR15 and MyD88 play a role in young chickens infected with E. tenella.展开更多

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with HER-2-positive breast cancer in the Central Hospital of Enshi Autonomous Prefecture Hubei Province between April 2015 and January 2017 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, the combined group received trastuzumab combined with paclitaxel chemotherapy, and the control group accepted paclitaxel chemotherapy. The surgically removed breast cancer lesions were collected to determine the expression of cell proliferation genes, cell invasion genes and angiogenesis molecules. Results: USP39, EphA2, NUAK1, Gab2, Raptor, ICAM-1, HIF-1α, VEGF, ANGPLT-2 and ANGPLT-4 mRNA expression in tumor lesion of combined group were significantly lower than those of control group while CCN5, ALEX1, ATG2B, ATG4D, E-cadherin and EBP50 mRNA expression were significantly higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Trastuzumab combined with paclitaxel neoadjuvant chemotherapy can inhibit the cell proliferation and invasion and decrease the angiogenesis in HER-2-positive breast cancer lesions.展开更多
