An Event-Specific Real-Time PCR Method for Measuring Transgenic Lysozyme Goat Content in Trace Samples.

ABSTRACT: Lysozymes are used in sterilisation, antisepsis, dairy additives, inflammation, and cancer. One transgenic goat line expressing high levels of human lysozyme (hLZ) in goat milk has been developed in China. Herein, we established an event-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method to detect the transgenic hLZ goat line. The developed method has high specificity, sensitivity and accuracy, and a wide quantitative dynamic range. The limit of detection and limit of quantification was 5 and 10 copies per reaction, respectively. The practical sample analysis results showed that the method could identify and quantify transgenic lysozyme content in trace samples in routine lab analyses. Furthermore, the potential applicability in risk assessment, such as molecular characterisation and gene horizontal transfer, was confirmed. We believe that this method is suitable for the detection of transgenic hLZ goat line and its derivate.

Development of an Event-Specific Droplet Digital PCR Assay for Quantification and Evaluation of the Transgene DNAs in Trace Samples of GM PRNP-Knockout Goat.

Project description:The prion protein (PRNP) gene encoding prion protein is considered a prerequisite for the occurrence of scrapie disease, and knockout of the PRNP gene in transgenic goat is one effective approach to avoid scrapie. This study aims to establish an event-specific droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) assay to detect and quantify the content of genetically modified (GM) PRNP-knockout goat event KoP1. The developed ddPCR assay presents high specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, precision and wide dynamic range. The limits of detection and quantification were as low as 1.44 and 7.2 haploid genome equivalent (HGE) per reaction, respectively. Furthermore, this assay was successfully applied in quantifying the goat KoP1 GM content in milk, feces and living environmental soil samples. We believe that the developed ddPCR assay has the potential to be used in the evaluation of horizontal gene transfer and the practical risk assessment of GM goat event KoP1 and its derivatives.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of mouse skin samples

Project description:Development of chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) represents a major impediment in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This disorder has been shown to be associated with severe impairment of B-cell homeostasis, regulatory B-cell function and distribution. Conversely, the presence of bone marrow and circulating hematogones has been correlated with reduced GVHD risks. We herein raised the question whether B-cell progenitors that upon activation with the TLR-9 agonist CpG (CpG-proBs) provide protection in various models of autoimmune diseases, could as well reduce disease in a sclerodermatous model of cGVHD. We found that CpG-proBs, adoptively transferred during the initial phase of disease, reduced the diarrhea score and mostly prevented cutaneous fibrosis. Donor cells migrated to the draining lymph nodes and to the skin where they mainly differentiated into follicular B cells. CpG activation and IFN- expression were required for the protective effect, which resulted in reduced CD4+ T-cell-derived production of cytokines critically involved in cGVHD, such as TGF-, IL-13, IL-21. Adoptive transfer increased the ratio of follicular regulatory to helper T cells (TFh), which generated less IL-21 but more IL-10. Moreover, CpG-proBs privileged the accumulation of IL-10-expressing CD8+ T-cells, B-cells and dendritic cells in the skin. Collectively, these data support the notion that adoptively transferred CpG-proBs provide an efficient strategy for preventing sclerodermatous cGVHD either per se or as beneficial adjunct to the HSC graft.

A nanocomposite hydrogel with catalytic properties for trace-element detection in real-world samples.

Project description:A nanocomposite material characterized by peroxidase-like properties was developed through the dispersion of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) inside a hydrogelic matrix. The integration of the PtNP catalysts within the matrix resulted in their stabilization, preventing aggregation and precipitation in media of environmental interest, characterized by high ionic strength and by the presence of organic solutes. A thorough optimization of the matrix design was aimed at granting optimal diffusion of the reagents, in order to maintain the efficiency of the catalytic action. Such combined features allowed the implementation and prototyping of a colorimetric method for the detection of mercury in environmental water samples. The assay was based on a chromogenic reaction catalyzed by the peroxidase-like activity of PtNPs and its specific inhibition caused by trace amounts of mercury.

An intron-based real-time PCR method for measuring vasopressin gene transcription.

Project description:The hypothalamus contains distinct neuronal populations that express distinguishing neuropeptides. The supraoptic nucleus contains magnocellular neurons that predominantly express either vasopressin or oxytocin. Transcriptional activators of vasopressin and other neuropeptides have been the subject of much research. Here we present a method of measuring neuropeptide transcription by tailoring one-step quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) for the analysis of processed and pre-mRNA (heteronuclear RNA). Using moderate and strong hyperosmotic stimuli to induce transcription, we report an increase in vasopressin transcription (pre-mRNA) of 141% and 406% over control levels in response to a 2% injection of 900 mOsm saline or a 1% body weight i.p. injection of 2 M NaCl, respectively. These results agree with a host of studies employing the more labor-intensive method of in situ hybridization histochemistry by which investigators also measured intron-containing heteronuclear RNAs. Furthermore, these results confirm that qRT-PCR with intron-specific primers can be used to rapidly analyze transcription, and suggest an important further benefit of a real-time PCR analysis, such as the ability of measuring transcription of multiple neuropeptides along with other genes from a single sample.
