Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Ca2+ /calmodulin - dependent kinase II (CaMKII)γ RNA interference on the expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1(NFATc1),tyrosine kinase(c-Src)and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)genes,and its role and molecular mechanism in osteoclast differentiation. Methods The CaMKII γ RNA interference vector was constructed by lentivirus and transfected into RAW264. 7 cells. The experiment was di-vided into three groups:A,B and C,which were the control group,negative vector group and interference vector group. After transfec-tion for 12 hours,osteoclasts induced by 50 ng/mL RANKL and the cells were harvested after induction for 5 days. Real-time quanti-tative PCR,Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of NFATc1,TRAP and c-Src genes in three groups. Results The mRNA levels of NFATc1,TRAP and c-Src in the group C decreased by 49. 86% ,43. 65% and 53. 57% ,re-spectively(P<0. 001),and the protein levels decreased by 54. 22% ,46. 75% and 45. 86% ,respectively(P<0. 001). There was no significant difference between the A and the B groups(P>0. 05). The fluorescence intensity of the above genes in the group C was significantly weaker than that in the A and B groups,and the formation of osteoclasts was significantly less than that in the A and B groups. Conclusion CaMKIIγ RNA interference significantly inhibited the expression of NFATc1,TRAP and c-Src genes,sugges-ting that CaMKIIγ plays a key regulatory role in osteoclast differentiation.

Strain-resource engineering is often considered as an important infrastructure of microbiology related research and industry. The western developed countries took the lead in establishing the classical microbial resource utilization method, and continuously improved the preservation system, species annotation technology and global sharing mechanism, which realized the expansion and reserve of biological resources since end of the 19th century. The rich and diversified germplasm resources, standard strains and production strains not only have important economic values, but also maintain the advantages of scientific research, bioeconomy (such as antimicrobial agents, vaccines, detection reagent development and standard development, etc.) and national security. Although there has been a lot of progress in related research in recent years, compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap in related fields in China. The investment and top-level design in this area lag far behind the western developed countries, and it is not commensurate with the current level of economic and social development in my country. Drawing lessons from the practice of WFCC and WDCM (World Data Center for Microorganisms, Global microbial data Center, affiliated to WFCC), for the purpose of collecting new clinical species/strains, this paper puts forward some suggestions on the identification, preservation and upload system of isolates.
