Fluorometric enzyme immunosensing system based on natural product resveratrol for horseradish peroxidase and Ag/SiO_2 nanoparticles

The properties of resveratrol (3′, 4′, 5-trihydroxystlbene, RST) were for the first time evaluated as a potential substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed fluorogenic reaction. The properties of RST for use as fluorogenic substrates for HRP and its application in immunoassays were compared with commercially available substrates such as p-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid (pHPPA), chavicol and Amplex red by a fluoroimmunosensing method in the use of Schistosomia japonicum antibody (SjAb) as a model analyte. The fluoroimmunosensing device was constructed by dispersing Schistosomia japonicum antigen (SjAg), nano-Ag/SiO2 particles and sol-gel at low temperature. In pH 5.8 Britton-Robinson buffer (B-R), HRP-SjAb conjugates can catalyze the polymerization reaction of RST by H2O2 forming fluorescent dimmers. The increase of the fluorescence intensity of the dimmers product at emission of 462 nm (excitation: 315 nm) is proportional to the concentration of HRP-SjAb binding to the SjAg entrapped in the nano-Ag/SiO2 particles-sol-gel matrix. A competitive binding assay has been used to determine SjAb in rabbit serum with the aid of SjAb labeled with HRP. Substrate RST showed comparable ability for HRP detection and its enzyme-linked immunosensing reaction system, in a linear detection ranging of 1.5×10-6-7.3×10-4 g/L and with a detection limit of 1.5×10-6 g/L. The immobilized biocomposites surface could be regenerated by simply polishing with an alumina paper, with an excellent reproducibility (RSD = 4.7%). The proposed method has been successfully used for analysis of the rabbit serum sample with satisfactory results.

An effective sequence characterized amplified region‐PCR method derived from restriction site‐amplified polymorphism for the identification of female Schistosoma japonicum of zoonotic significance

In the present study, restriction site‐amplified polymorphism (RSAP) markers were used to examine the genetic variability of Schistosoma japonicum isolates from different endemic provinces in mainland China. Of the 45 pairs of primers screened, 10 RSAP markers showed a clear banding pattern with good resolution; however, only six exhibited a polymorphism among different isolates. Among six RSAP markers, one pair of primers (R8+R10) was able to differentiate male and female parasites, and amplified one constant specific band for female S. japonicum isolates. The specific band was recovered, re‐amplified and sequenced, and a sequence of 162 bp was obtained. Based on this sequence, a pair of specific primers was designed and used to develop sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR)‐PCR assay for identification and differentiation of female S. japonicum isolates. The SCAR‐PCR assay allowed the specific identification of female S. japonicum, with no amplicons being amplified from male S. japonicum, Fasciola hepatica, Clonorchis sinensis, S. mansoni (male and female parasite). DNA sequencing confirmed the identity of the amplified products. The minimum amount of DNA detectable using SCAR‐PCR assay was 0.3 ng for female S. japonicum. The SCAR‐PCR was able to differentiate effectively the male and female S. japonicum worms collected from 12 geographical origins in eight endemic provinces, the gender of which was known based on the morphological and biological features. These results showed that SCAR‐PCR provides an effective tool for the sex differentiation studies of S. japonicum, identification of female S. japonicum, diagnosis and epidemiological survey of S. japonicum infections in animals and human.

【目的】探讨我国天竺桂资源的遗传多样性及群体的空间分布格局。【方法】分别对来自7个天然群体的30份天竺桂资源进行特异位点扩增片段测序(specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing, SLAF-seq)。基于检测到的SNP位点信息进行遗传变异分析。【结果】各样品的平均测序深度为15.11倍,开发获得 1 296 000个SLAF标签,其中377 250个SLAF标签在不同样品间具有多态性,共包含3 409 402个群体SNP,经过滤,最终获得268 821个高度一致性的群体SNP。基于这些SNP的系统进化分析发现,天竺桂是由中国东部向中国西部逐渐进化的。系统进化、主成分分析和群体结构分析均表明,来自5省(直辖市)7个天然群体的群体内变异小于群体间变异。30份天竺桂资源可分为2个大的亚群,其中,第1亚群位于中国第2阶梯上,第2亚群位于中国第3阶梯上,2个亚群间被大兴安岭—太行山脉—巫山—雪峰山山脉阻隔。第2亚群又可进一步分为3个小亚群,其中,来自浙江省和安徽桃岭的为第1个小亚群,来自安徽霍山的为第2个小亚群,而来自河南伏牛山的为第3个小亚群,第1个和第2个小亚群间被长江阻隔。【结论】山脉和湖泊的阻隔可能是造成天竺桂遗传分化的重要因素。本研究首次揭示天竺桂遗传结构及地理变化规律,为我国天竺桂资源的有效利用与科学保护提供理论依据。     

Decoquinate derivatives: A new class of potent antischistosomal agents against Schistosoma japonicum

Decoquinate (1), an old and inexpensive coccidiostat, exhibited potent antimalarial activity, however, its antischistosomal activity against Schistosoma japonicum has not yet been evaluated. Based on decoquinate, a series of decoquinate derivatives was designed, synthesized, evaluated as a new class of antischistosomal agents against S. japonicum adult worms in vitro. Among them, compound 15 killed 100% of adult S. japonicum in 72 h at the concentration of 10 μmol/L in vitro, exhibited stronger wormkilling activity than PZQ in vitro and could serve as a promising lead compound to develop new antischistosomal agents.     

IRAP: An efficient retrotransposon-based electrophoretic technique for studying genetic variability among geographical isolates of Schistosoma japonicum

In the present study, a inter-retrotransposon-amplified polymorphism (IRAP) technique, based on retrotransposons, was used to examine genetic variability among Schistosoma japonicum isolates from different provinces in mainland China. Of the 15 primers screened, 5 produced highly reproducible IRAP patterns. Using these primers, 54 discernible DNA fragments were generated with 40 (74.07%) being polymorphic, indicating considerable genetic variation among the examined S. japonicum isolates. The primer LTR-11 was found to be able to differentiate male and female parasites, producing one constant specific band for female S. japonicum isolates. The percentages of polymorphic bands (PPB) among all parasites, among isolates from mountainous provinces and among those from the lake/marshland areas were 74.07, 48.15, and 66.67%, respectively. UPGMA analysis revealed that the IRAP profiles could group S. japonicum isolates in mainland China into two clades (mountainous and lake/marshland types), and samples from the same geographical origins clustered together. These results demonstrated that the IRAP technique is suitable for studying genetic diversity and population structures, and also provides an effective technique for studying sex differentiation of S. japonicum.
