Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(03):-
Selectively infective phage (SIP) technology was developed for screening interacting protein-protein pairs. The in vivo SIP strategy would in principle be suitable for??library-library??selections, and the co-packaged polyphage may be a suitable approach. In order to construct the antigen expression vector which can be co-packaged into polyphage with phage displaying vectors, plasmid TG10 was chosen as the basic vector which is compatible with antibody display vector. The interval sequence of phage genome was amplified with PCR and cloned into TG10 to provide the packaging signal. It was named pTMI and it can be packaged into phage particles in 1011 level. The N1N2 region of gene ¢? was amplified and cloned into pTMI under the control of lac promoter to give pTMIN. Promoter trc was synthesized and replaced the lac promoter to give pTTMIN which permits the fusion expression of antigen with N1N2. To test its ability for fusion expression, gene code for ten-peptide of c-myc was synthesized and inserted into pTTMIN downstream to N1N2. After induction expression, the results of ELISA and SDS-PAGE showed that it has been expressed successfully. When pTTMIN was transfected into cell carrying antibody display vector p3MHHB3, it was copackaged into phage particles in 0.3% to 55% after rescuing with helper phage VCSM13.From the results it can concluded that the antigen expression vector was constructed successfully and it can be used for library-library screening in theory.

Objective To construct a packaged bacteria strain and, with it, to prepare gene III-defective helper phage. Methods Whole gene III and chloramphenicol-resistant gene were amplified and joined to form a fragment flanking 36bp homologous sequence of hisBCD using overlapping extending PCR, and it was then integrated into chromosome of E. coli XL1-Blue to replace the hisBCD gene using Red recombination system. The recombinant strain was identified with chloramphenicol-resistant screening, PCR and histidine-phenotype analysis, and named as XL-pⅢ. The gene III-deleted genome of phage was constructed with PCR and transfected into the recombinant strain XL-pⅢ to prepare the defective helper phage. It was quantified by infecting E. coli XL1-Blue and formed colonies were counted in kanamycin plate. Results The recombinant strain could grow in chloramphenicol-resistant plate, but couldn't grow in M9 medium without histidine, implying that it had lost its histidine phenotype. The aimed gene fragment could be amplified as designed. The constructed recombinant was named as XL-pⅢ. The prepared defective helper phage could infect E. coli XL1-Blue only once and the CFU was 3.7?108. Conclusions The packaged strain XL-pⅢ is successfully constructed and used to prepare the gene III-deleted helper phage. It is expected to be used in SIP system.

Objective To explore the risk factors of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). Methods A total of 82 PPCM and 100 normal delivery females were randomly recruited in the current study. Echocardiographic, cTNI,high sensitive C-reaction protein(hs-CRP) ,NT-proBNP were measured. Fifty-two patients were followed up for a mean of 6 months. Results The PPCM patients (29. 5 ± 6. 4) yrs were older than the controls (25. 2 ± 5. 8) yrs (P<0.01) . Compared to the controls, the PPCM patients showed higher blood pressure (146.9/98. 8 mm Hg v. s. 130. 2/80. 1 mm Hg, P < 0. 01) , higher proportion of cesarean section (65. 9% v. s. 51. 0% , P < 0. 05) and complicated infection(75. 6% v. s. 10. 0% ,P <0. 01). The level of leucocyte(11.0 × 109/L) ,cTNI(0. 17 μg/L), hs-CRP(28. 2 mg/L)and NT-proBNP(650. 1 ng/L) were significantly higher in the PPCM patients compared with control(8. 8 × 109/L,0. 06μg/L,6. 2 mg/L and 110. 5 ng/L,P <0. 01). Hs-CRP was positively related with NT-proBNP(r = 0. 67, P < 0. 01). After average of 6 months of treatment, left ventricular ejection fraction enhanced from 32. 2% to 50. 6%. NT-proBNP significantly declined from 650. 1 ng/L to 225.6 ng/L(P <0. 01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that diastolic pressure (P < 0. 05), LVED (P < 0. 05) and hs-CRP (P < 0. 05) were the independent predictors for declined NT-proBNP. Conclusions Inflammatory plays an important role in the development of peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Objective To explore the association of TBX 5 polymorphisms and environmental exposure index with susceptibility to oral cancer. Methods A case?control study was conducted to collect 300 oral cancer patients hospitalized in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from September 2010 to December 2016. A total of 445 non?tumor patients were selected as the control group. Questionnaires were used to collect the information of all subjects and 5 ml peripheral blood was collected to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the rs10492336 locus of TBX5 gene. According to the environmental exposure index score, subjects were divided into two groups, low risk group (0-2.31) and high risk group (2.32-11.76). To analyze the association of TBX5 gene rs10492336 SNPs, environmental exposure index and oral cancer and its interactions. Results The age of all subjects in the case group and control group were (56.19±13.10) years and (54.56± 12.48) years old. Compared with CC genotype, the OR (95%CI) values of the co?dominant genetic model AC genotype and the dominant genetic model AC+AA genotype were 0.69 (0.49-0.98) and 0.70 (0.51-0.97), respectively. Compared with the low risk group, the OR (95%CI) risk of oral cancer in the high risk group was 3.72 (2.55-5.43). The results of gene?environment interaction analysis showed that compared with the group with CC genotype and high risk of environmental exposure index, the OR (95%CI) value of oral cancer in the group with AC+AA genotype and low risk of environmental exposure index was 0.18(0.10-0.31). Furthermore there was a multiplicative interaction between rs10492336 SNPs and environmental exposure index (β=-0.405, P<0.001). Conclusion This study suggests that the TBX 5 gene rs10492336 SNPs and environmental exposure index were associated with oral cancer. And there was a multiplication interaction between rs10492336 SNPs and environmental exposure index.
