In an effort to generate a desired expression construct for making heart-specific expression transgenic zebrafish, a Tol2 plasmid, which can drive EGFP reporter gene specifically expressed in the heart, was modified using subcloning technology. An IRES fragment bearing multiple cloning site (MCS) was amplified directly from pIRES2-EGFP plasmid and was inserted between the CMLC2 promoter and EGFP fragment of the pDestTol2CG vector. This recombinant expression plasmid pTol2-CMLC2-IRES-EGFP can drive any interested gene specifically expressed in the zebrafish heart along with EGFP reporter gene. To test the effectiveness of this new expression plasmid, we constructed pTol2-CMLC2-RED-IRES-EGFP plasmid by inserting another reporter gene DsRed-Monome into MCS downstream of the CMLC2 promoter and injected this transgenic recombinant plasmid into one-cell stage embryos of zebrafish. Under fluorescence microscope, both the red fluorescence and the green fluorescence produced by pTol2-CMLC2-RED-IRES-EGFP were detected specifically in the heart tissue in the same expression pattern. This novel expression construct pTol2-CMLC2-IRES-EGFP will become an important tool for our research on identifying heart development candidate genes' function using zebrafish as a model.

Objective:To investigate the pathogenic spectrum of hand, foot and mouth disease(HFMD)from 2017 to 2019 in Guangzhou, and analyze molecular epidemiological characteristics of coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6).Methods:Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), CV-A16, CV-A6 and enterovirus were tested by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR). The CV-A6 representative samples were isolated and the VP1 region of isolates were amplified and analized by Mega5.0 and SeqMen.Results:A total of 7 578 enterovirus-positive specimens were detected from 2017 to 2019, 320 specimens were positive for EV-A71, 1481 specimens were positive for CV-A16, 3171specimens were positive for CV-A6, and 2606 specimens were positive for other enterovirus. Children under the age of 5 years were the most vulnerable population, and the male/female incidence ratio was 1.56∶ 1.The incidence occurred in all seasons, one peak between May and July, the other between September and November. The virus was isolated from 80 CV-A6 positive specimens and the full length of VP1 gene region was sequenced and nucleotide sequence similarity analysis was performed. The nucleotide homology in the VP1 region was 93%-100%, and the amino acid homology was 98%-100%. The nucleotide homology with the CV-A6 prototype strain (Gdula) VP1 region was 79%-81%, and the amino acid homology was 95%-97%. The nucleotide homology with the representative strain of D3 subtype was 92%-98%, and the amino acid homology was 98%-100%. Phylogenetic tree shows that all CV-A6 belonged to the sub-genotype D3 and distributed in multiple branches.Conclusions:CV-A6 is emerging as one of the major pathogen causing HFMD in Guangzhou, and all insolates belonged to D3 subtype. Closely monitoring the molecular characteristics of CV-A6 and changes in the pathogen spectrum can provide scientific basis for HFMD prevention and control.

Objective:To explore the potent effects of denatonium benzoate(DB)on Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor-B2(MrgprB2)-mediated rat mast cell degranulation.Methods:RBL-2H3 cells were treated with DB overnight,before challenged with MrgprB2 ligands substance P(SP).The release of β-hex from MrgprB2-activated RBL-2H3 was detected by substrate method.Detec-tion of LTC4,IL-6,TNF-α and cPLA2 activity were performed by ELISA.The Ca2+influx and the expression of RBL-2H3 MrgprB2 re-ceptors were measured by fluorescence assay.Results:The results showed 10 μmol/L,50 μmol/L,80 μmol/L,100 μmol/L DB treat-ments promoted β-hex and LTC4 releases from activated RBL-2H3,accompanied by increased Ca2+mobilization and cPLA2 activa-tion.DB treatments did not affect IL-6 and TNF-α LTC4 releases in MrgprB2-activated RBL-2H3,as well as the levels of MrgprB2 ex-pression in mast cells.Conclusion:Taken together,DB enhanced the MrgprB2-mediated RBL-2H3 degranulation in vitro,probably by up-regulating Ca2+mobilization in activated cells.
