Objective To clone and express surface antigen SAG4 gene of Toxoplasma gondii, and analyze its immunoreactivity. Methods Specific primers were designed based on the reported SAG4 gene of T. gondii RH strain (GenBank Accession No: AF340224.1). Using genomic DNA from T. gondii as templates, SAG4 gene was amplified by PCR. The PCR product was cloned into pMD19-T vector and identified by digestion with restriction enzyme and PCR. Then the target fragment was subcloned into pET28a(+) vector, transformed into E. coli BL21 and followed by expression of the protein induced by IPTG. The protein was identified by Western blotting. Results The target gene was amplified with the length of 537 bp. Sequence analysis showed that the predicted amino acid sequence was identical with that of SAG4 as a membrane protein in T. gondii. After induced by IPTG, the recombinant SAG4 protein existed in an inclusion body form. The recombinant SAG4 (Mr 18 740) was recognized by serum of infected mice. Conclusion SAG4 has been expressed and shows certain immuno-response activity.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ketamine on the expression of hippocampal microRNA-206 (miR-206) in the mentally depressed rats.Methods Eighty healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-300 g,aged 2-3 months,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=20 each) using a random number table:normal control group (C group),ketamine group (K group),depression group (D group) and depression + ketamine group (D+K group).Mental depression was induced by exposing the animal to chronic unpredictable mild stress.At 1 day after successful establishment of the model,ketamine 15 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in K and D+K groups,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in C and D groups.Before establishment of thc model,at 7,14,21,28 and 35 days after beginning of establishment of the model,and at 1,3,5 and 7 days after administration,sucrose preference test was performed.Open field test was carried out at 1 day after administration.Forced swimming test was performed at 2 days after administration.Five rats were sacrificed at 6 h after administration,and hippocampal tissues were isolated for determination of the expression of hippocampal miR-206 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.At 2 days after administration,5 rats were sacrificed,and hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with C group,the volume of sucrose intake at 21-35 days after beginning of establishment of the model and at each time point after administration and the score of open field test were significantly decreased,the immobility time in forced swimming test was significantly prolonged,the expression of miR206 was up-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was down-regulated in D group,the immobility time in forced swimming test was shortened,the expression of miR-206 was down-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was up-regulated in group K,and the score of open field test and volume of sucrose intake at 21-35days after beginning of establishment of the model and the score of open field test were significantly decreased in D+K group (P＜0.05).Compared with D group,the volume of sucrose intake at each time point after administration was significantly increased,the immobility time in forced swimming test was shortened,the expression of miR-206 was down-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was up-regulated in D+K group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which ketamine exerts antidepressant effects is related to down-regulation of miR-206 expression and up-regulation of BDNF expression in the hippocampus of rats.
