Objective To explore the correlation between membrane targeting of rodent Muc3 C-terminal domain and proteolytic cleavage blockage within its SEA module and N-linked oligosaccharides inhibition.Methods COS-1 cells were transfected with three different expression vectors containing rodent Muc3 C-terminal domain,namely p20,p20t and p20s/a by lipofectAMINE reagent.Inhibition of N-glycosylation of the expressed protein was performed by using tunicamycin.The transfected COS-1 cells(fixed or unfixed) were detected by immunolocalization experiments(anti-V5 and anti-Myc antibody) for the protein expression.Results In fixed COS-1 cells,the expressed product of p20 transfectant detected using both anti-Myc and anti-V5 antibodies was found to localize in perinuclear position and on the plasma membrane.While in the unfixed cells,immunostaining was only confined on cell surface using anti-V5 antibody.The expressed product of p20t transfectant was detected by anti-V5 antibody to localize only in perinuclear region,as observed in a few fixed cells.The distribution of p20s/a fluorescence resembled that of p20 transfectant.Plasma membrane targeting of the non-glycosylated products due to tunicamycin treatment still occurred in transfected COS-1 cells and resembled the glycosylated products.Conclusions The blockage of proteolytic cleavage within C-terminal domain of rodent Muc3 and its inhibition of N-linked oligosaccharides in SEA module cannot affect its membrane targeting.The only apparent requirement for membrane targeting is the transmembrane and/or cytoplasmic tail segments which exist in the C-terminal domains of rMuc3.

Objective To understand endemic diversity on schistosomiasis transmission after reserving plain for flooding. Methods In two study pilots, Jicheng and Qingshanhu, epidemiological factors were investigated longitudinally, and the effectiveness of the interventions was evaluated. Results The infection rates of mobile people who engaged in activities in the discarded plain were increased year by year. The density of infected snails was high. The snail habitats increased significantly in Jicheng, but decreased in Qingshanhu. The infection rate and number of livestock pastured in the discarded plain increased. In the discarded plain, most of the mobile people came from the local areas, and main activities for water contact were fishing and pasturing. About 90% of local residents migrated into endemic areas, and the others into non-endemic areas. Conclusions The discarded plains were evolving to a serious transmission zone of schistosomiasis. Interventions combined with agriculture and fisher productions can decrease snail-spreading. Schistosomiasis examination and chemotherapy for the migrants to non-endemic areas are vital.
