Objective To investigate the possibility of immune tole rance induced by bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in allogeneic organ transplantation. Methods Allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and syngeneic bone marrow cells were cotransplanted to lethally irradiated female C57BL/6 recipient mice. FACS was used to analyze the chimerism 150 days later. Mixed lymphocyte reaction and ConA induced proliferation test were performed to evaluate proliferative activity of mice spleen cells in cell-transplanted group. Skin transplantation test was done to observe immune response of cell-transplanted group mice against organ graft from donor mice. Results About 5 97% donor T cells were detected in splenocytes of cell-transplanted group mice. MLR showed that mean SI of cell-transplanted group mice was 1.79, and that of untreated group mice was 7 28. ConA induced proliferation test showed that mean SI of cell-transplanted group mice was 31 92; and that of untreated group mice was 34 99. Mean survival time of donor-derived skin graft in cell-transplanted group mice was more than 90 days; and that in untreated group mice was 8 days. Conclusion Our results showed for the first time that induction of stable mixed hematopoietic chimerism after allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation lead to stable donor-specific tolerance in allogeneic host and skin graft survival from donor mice.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the results of the surveillance of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) pathogens in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province in 2022, and to analyze the genetic characteristics of the main epidemic strain coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), in order to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of HFMD. Methods　Samples of hand, foot and mouth disease cases in Baoshan City submitted to Yunnan Province in 2022 were selected, the samples were processed, and the viral nucleic acid was extracted, and the Enterovirus (EV) VP4/VP2 binding region gene was amplified with primers (MD91/OL68-1) and sequenced. The sequence was BLAST searched in GenBank to determine the virus type, and then the full sequence of VP1 region was amplified with relevant primers of each type of virus and sequenced. Viruses were identified by using Enterovirus Genotyping Tool Version 1.0. according to the reference documents, the reference sequences were downloaded for making the phylogenetic tree, and the test results were statistically analyzed. Results　A total of 307 clinical samples of hand-foot-mouth disease in Baoshan City in 2022 were detected by real-time RT-PCR. There were 280 laboratory-confirmed cases (91.21%), among which the detection rate of CVA16 was 55.05% (169/307), EV-A71 was 3.58% (11/307), and other enteroviruses were 32.57% (100/307). Of the 206 HFMD test specimens, the VP4/VP2 junction and VP1 gene sequences of enterovirus were amplified and identified, and 29 enterovirus strains were obtained, with a positive virus rate of 14.08% (29/206). All viruses belonged to group A and were divided into 3 serotypes, which included 27 strains of CVA16 (93.10%, 27/29), 1 strain of EV-A71 (3.45%, 1/29), and 1 strain of CVA10 (3.45%, 1/29). Group B, C, and D viruses were not detected. The positive rate of VP4/VP2 binding region and VP1 region of coxsackievirus A16 gene in Baoshan City in 2022 was 13.11% (27/206). The genetic evolution analysis showed that the 27 strains of CVA16 belong to B1a subtype and can be divided into two evolutionary branches. Conclusions　In 2022, the main epidemic strain of HFMD in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province is CVA16 gene, belonging to B1a subtype, which can be divided into two branches, indicating 2 transmission chains prevalent in Baoshan City. Future efforts should focus on strengthening surveillance, improving the quality of monitoring, and understanding the characteristics of viral prevalence..

OBJECTIVESTo assess the feasibility and efficacy of eliciting leukemia-specific T-cell responses in syngeneic mice in vitro and in vivo using dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with total RNA from leukemia cells.

METHODSDCs generated from bone marrow culture in vitro in the presence of combined cytokines were pulsed with cellular total RNA isolated from cultured L615 cells by cationic lipid 1,2-dioleoyloxy-3-(trimethylammonium) propane (DOTAP). T-cell responses were evaluated by in vitro proliferation, and cytotoxicity assay. And in vivo immune protection and prognosis of mice with leukemia were studied.

RESULTSDCs pulsed with total RNA isolated from cultured L615 cells (DCs/RNA) were remarkably effective in stimulating L615-specific T-cell response in vitro, but did not cross-react with other leukemia cells from syngeneic mice. Vaccination of naive mice with viable DCs/RNA vaccine was able to partly protect from challenge with a lethal dose of live L615 cells, leading to low leukemia incidence and overall survival prolongation. Statistically significant survival was also observed in a low lethal dose of L615-bearing mice that received treatment using viable DCs/RNA vaccine alone, suggesting that systemic administration of IL-2 could enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of leukemia RNA/DCs vaccine.

CONCLUSIONSThese data support the use of DCs/RNA vaccine as a feasible and effective route to elicit leukemia immunity against unidentified leukemia-associated antigens for treatment of leukemia-bearing animals.

Using lipase segregation agar containing trioleoylglycerol, we obtained 18 lipase positive clones by screening from a metagenome library of dairy rumen microflora containing 15,360 clones. The average insert size of lipase positive clones was about 60 kb. Lipase enzyme activity analysis by p-NPP method indicated that Lipase6, Lipase7 and Lipase8 had higher lipolytic activities to substrates of p-nitrophenyl palmitate (C16), p-nitrophenyl alaurate (C12) and p-nitrophenyl palmitate (C16) respectively. The optimum pH of Lipase 6, Lipase 7 and Lipase 8 were 7.5. The halflife period of Lipase 8 with the value of 15 min in 70 degrees C decreased with the increase of temperature. In conclusion, the lipases screened in this study had different substrates specificity and good thermo stability, which laid a basis for large-scale industrial application.
