The development of female germ cell is the cornerstone for animal reproduction. Mammalian oocyte and early embryo have many distinct phenomena and mechanisms during their growth and development, involving series dynamic changes of protein synthesis/degradation and phosphorylation. Research on the regulatory mechanism of oocyte division, maturation, and developmental principle of pre-implantation embryo is an important topic in the field of animal developmental biology. Proteomics using all of proteins expressed by a cell or tissue as research object, systematically identify, quantify and study the function of all these proteins. With the rapid development of protein separation and identification technology, proteomics provide some new methods and the research contents on fields of oogenesis, differentiation, maturation and quality control, such as protein quantification, modification, location and interaction important information which other omics technology can not provide. These information will contribute to uncover the molecular mechanisms of mammalian oocyte maturation and embryonic development. And it is great significant for improving the culture system of oocyte in vitro maturation, the efficiency of embryo production in vitro, somatic cell clone and transgenic animal production.

ObjectiveTo analyze the hemagglutinin variation and the genetic evolution of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus in Huzhou City, 2023. MethodsRespiratory tract specimens from two influenza monitoring hospitals were collected for the isolation of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus and HA genome sequencing. MEGA 7.0 and BioAider were utilized to analyze genetic similarity, genetic evolution, antigen mutation sites, receptor binding sites, pathogenicity, and potential glycosylation sites of the influenza virus sequencing results. ResultsThe nucleotide and amino acid similarities between the 25 A(H1N1)pdm09 strains and the vaccine strain A/Wisconsin/67/2022 were 98.41% to 99.22% and 98.41% to 99.36%, respectively. These strains belonged to the 6B.1A.5a.2a evolutionary lineage. Notably, there were 19 amino acid variations in the HA protein, including substitutions of S137P and R142K in the epitope Ca2 cluster. Additionally, seven potential glycosylation sites were found in the HA protein, and no new or missing sites were observed in the 25 A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus isolates compared to the vaccine strains. Furthermore, no multiple continuous alkaline amino acids were detected in the HA cleavage site of the 25 isolates. ConclusionTheA(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic strain in 2023 closely matches the vaccine strain, indicating good protection against the currently circulatingA(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus. The circulating A(H1N1)pdm09 strain in Huzhou is characterized as a low-pathogenic influenza virus.

OBJECTIVETo achieve early diagnosis for inheritable hearing loss and determine carrier rate of deafness causing gene mutations in order to provide information for premarital, prenatal and postnatal genetic counseling.
METHODSA total of 17 000 dried heel blood spots of normal newborns in Chengdu were collected with informed consent obtained from their parents. Genomic DNA was extracted from dried blood spots using Qiagen DNA extraction kits. Microarrays with 9 common mutation loci of 4 deafness-associated genes in Chinese population were used. Nine hot mutations including GJB2 (35delG, 176del16, 235delC and 299delAT), GJB3 (538C> T), SLC26A4 (IVS 7-2A> G, 2168A> G), and mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA (1555A> G, 1494C> T) were detected by PCR amplification and microarray hybridization. Mutations detected by microarray were verified by Sanger DNA sequencing.
RESULTSOf the 17 000 new-borns, 542 neonates had mutations of the 4 genes. Heterozygous mutations of GJB2, at 235delC, 299delAT, and 176del16 were identified in 254, 55, and 15 newborns, respectively. Two newborns had homozygous mutation of GJB2, 235delC. Heterozygous mutations at 538C> T of GJB3, 2168A> G and IVS 7-2A> G of SLC26A4 were found in 23, 17 and 128 newborns, respectively. For mutation analysis of mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA, 1494C> T and 1555A> G were homogeneous mutations in 4 and 42 neonates, respectively. In addition, 6 complexity mutations were detected, which demonstrated that one newborn had heterozygous mutations at GJB2 235delC and SLC26A4, IVS7-2A> G, one had heterozygous mutation GJB2 235delC and 12S rRNA homogeneous mutation, 1555 A> G, one heterozygous mutations at GJB2, 299delAT, and GJB3, 538C> T, one at GJB2, 299delAT and 12S rRNA, 1555 A> G, two at GJB2, 299delAT, and SLC26A4, IVS7-2A> G. All mutations as above were confirmed by DNA sequencing.
CONCLUSIONThe total mutation carrier rate of the 4 deafness genes is 3.19% in healthy newborns at Chengdu. Mutations of GJB2 and SLAC26A4 are major ones (86.5% of total). The mutation rate of mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA is 2.71‰, which may have deafness induced by aminoglycoside antibiotics. Newborn screening for mutation of genes related to hereditary deafness plays an important role in the early detection and proper management for neonatal deafness as well as genetic counseling for premarital, prenatal and postnatal diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mutation and genetic evolution of drug resistance gene of A(H1N1) pdm09 influenza pandemic strain in 2023 in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. MethodsRespiratory tract specimens from 2 influenza monitoring hospitals were collected forA(H1N1) pdm09 influenza virus nucleic acid detection. Positive specimens were inoculated with MDCK cells for influenza virus isolation and sequencing. DNA Star 7.1 software and Mega 4.0 software were used to analyze the neuraminidase (NA) enzyme active site and the amino acid sites related to drug resistance in M2 protein. ResultsNucleotide homology and amino acid homology of NA between the isolated and the vaccine strains were 98.87%‒99.22% and 98.94%‒99.36%, respectively. The nucleotide homology range of M gene was 99.07% to 99.85%, and the amino acid homology range was 99.02%‒99.94%. The isolates and vaccine strains belong to the evolutionary clades of 6B.1A.5a.2a. The amino acids at the key sites of the enzyme activity center of NA were still highly conserved, and the 9 key amino acid sites related to NA inhibitor resistance did not change, but some mutations occurred at the non-enzyme active sites in some popular strains. The 5 amino acid sites related to drug resistance of M2 protein were not replaced, but the 31st amino acid sites changed from serine to asparagine. ConclusionThe A(H1N1) pdm09 pandemic strain in Huzhou in 2023 has high homology with the 2023‒2024 vaccine strain recommended by WHO. All endemic strains are resistant to amantadines.
