One of the histone deacetylase members, HDAC2 plays an important role in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional repression. The present study was designed to improve histone acetylations by knocking down the expression of histone deacetylase with RNA interferences. According to the published mouse HDAC2 mRNA sequence (NM_008229.2, GI:87162463), as well as shRNA design principles, 3 interference fragments of 107 to 126 bps, 879 to 898 bps, and 1240 to 1259 bps and a negative control sequence were designed and synthesized, respectively. Four interference vectors expressing a red fluorescent protein were successfully constructed, which were named pCDsRed2-shRNA107, pCDsRed2-shRNA879, pCDsRed2-shRNA1240, and pCDsRed2-shRNAcontrol, respectively. These vectors were then transfected respectively to mouse fetal fibroblast cells. Real-time, quantitative PCR of the transgenic cells showed that the vectors mentioned above resulted in 0.81, 0.73, 0.16, and 0.80 times knockdown of hdac2 expression when compared with the nontransfected cells, which suggested that the piece of 1240 to 1259 bp was the most effective RNAi region. Immunofluorescent staining of the transgenic cells showed that the histone acetylations and methylations of H4K5ac, H3K9ac, H3K9me2, H3K27me3, and H3K4me3 were significantly higher in all of the interference vectors than they were in the negative control. Vector pCDsRed2-shRNA1240 was the most effective RNAi. After injection of pCDsRed2-shRNA1240 into zygote pronuclei, embryos developed to 2-cell, 8-cell embryos and blastocysts decreased to 96.6, 85.3 (P < 0.05), and 35.6 (P < 0.01) of the control group, respectively. High levels of H3K9ac, H4K5ac, H3K4me3, and H3K27me3 were observed in the RNAi embryos when compared with the controls. These results indicated that the knockdown of hdac2 by RNAi decreased the expression of HDAC2 and induced high expression of histone acetylations in both somatic cells and early embryos.

Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is one of the most conserved enzymes present in the nuclei of cells. It was thought to be the most important enzyme in the regulation of histone deacetylation process. However, the function of HDAC1 in bovine fibroblast cells and nuclear transfer embryos is not clear. In the present study, sh299 (5′GCAAGCAGATGCAGAGATTTCAAGA GAATCTCTGCATCTGCTTGCTT3′) targeting of HDAC1 mRNA sequence was designed in the PGP/U6/GFP vector (short hairpin RNA, shRNA, expression vector). The sh299 vector was transfected into bovine fibroblast cells by transfection reagent FuGENE HD and the positive cells were identified by the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP). Histone deacetylase 1 down-regulation in bovine fibroblast cells was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR with the 2–ΔΔCT method) at 48 h after sh299 vector transfection at mRNA level. Immunocytochemistry was performed at 96 h after sh299 vector transfection to examine the HDAC1 protein level. Bovine fibroblast cells of the control group, negative control vector transfection group and sh299 vector transfection group were used as donor cells for nuclear transfer. Cleavage rates and expression of HDAC1 mRNA in bovine cloned embryos were examined at 48 h after nuclear transfer. Blastocyst rates and total cell numbers of blastocysts were examined on Day 7 post-nuclear transfer. Data were analysed with Statistics Production for Service Solution (version 16.0; SPSS) by 1-way ANOVA. A value of P < 0.05 was considered to be significantly different. Our results showed that the expression level of HDAC1 was significantly reduced by transfection of the sh299 expression vector. The GFP-positive cells showed decreased signal for HDAC1 by immunocytochemistry. It was suggested that the transfection of the sh299 expression vector reduced HDAC1 expression in bovine fibroblast cells at both mRNA level and protein level. Following nuclear transfer, expression of HDAC1 was significantly reduced in the sh299 vector transfection group (donor cells were transfected by the sh299 vector) compared to the other 2 groups. No significant difference (P > 0.05) was seen in cleavage rates among bovine cloned embryos in the sh299 vector transfection group (52.3 ± 3.4%), control group (51.1 ± 5.4%) and negative control vector transfection group (56.2 ± 3.1%). However, blastocyst rates and total cell numbers of blastocysts were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the sh299 vector transfection group (4.2 ± 1.3% and 75.4 ± 9.2, n = 89) compared to the control group (18.2 ± 3.7% and 97.6 ± 7.3, n = 78) and negative control vector transfection group (18.9 ± 1.7% and 104.2 ± 10.3, n = 83). In conclusion, HDAC1 down-regulation in bovine fibroblast cells and cloned embryos by the sh299 expression vector indicated that HDAC1 was essential for the development of bovine cloned embryos.

ABSTRACT Methylation of cytosines in the CpG dinucleotide is generally associated with transcriptional repression in mammalian cells, and recent findings implicate histone deacetylation in methylation-mediated repression. Analyses of histone acetylation in in vitro-methylated transfected plasmids support this model; however, little is known about the relationships among de novo DNA methylation, transcriptional repression, and histone acetylation state. To examine these relationships in vivo, we have developed a novel approach that permits the isolation and expansion of cells harboring expressing or silent retroviruses. MEL cells were infected with a Moloney murine leukemia virus encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP), and single-copy, silent proviral clones were treated weekly with the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A or the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine. Expression was monitored concurrently by flow cytometry, allowing for repeated phenotypic analysis over time, and proviral methylation was determined by Southern blotting and bisulfite methylation mapping. Shortly after infection, proviral expression was inducible and the reporter gene and proviral enhancer showed a low density of methylation. Over time, the efficacy of drug induction diminished, coincident with the accumulation of methyl-CpGs across the provirus. Bisulfite analysis of cells in which 5-azacytidine treatment induced GFP expression revealed measurable but incomplete demethylation of the provirus. Repression could be overcome in late-passage clones only by pretreatment with 5-azacytidine followed by trichostatin A, suggesting that partial demethylation reestablishes the trichostatin-inducible state. These experiments reveal the presence of a silencing mechanism which acts on densely methylated DNA and appears to function independently of histone deacetylase activity.

Abstract To explore the role of the Doublesex gene (Dsx1) in the switching between reproductive modes in Daphnia pulex Leydig, 1860, we performed gene silencing using RNA interference (RNAi). We also investigated the expression of gfp (Green Fluorescent Protein) by quantitative-PCR, and the expression of Dsx1 mRNA after RNAi by real-time PCR. Dsx1 expression was significantly greater in males than in females, and was down-regulated in experimental groups compared with the control group. The decrease was more significant in females (35% of controls) than males (47% of controls). The gene fragment of Dsx1 amplified by PCR was ligated to the pEASY-Blunt vector to obtain the recombinant plasmid expressed recombinant protein induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). After having been purified by Ni-column affinity chromatography, the recombinant protein as antigen was used to immune rabbits. The antiserum was successfully purified by the protein A method to obtain the Dsx1 polyclonal antibody, an IgG concentration of 2.65 mg/ml, titer 240 000. Western blotting showed that RNAi treatment significantly reduced DSX1 protein levels. Whole-mount immunofluorescence analysis revealed that the fluorescence intensity of appendages was significantly lower following RNAi treatment than the negative control group, and comparable with the blank control group, further confirming the decrease in Dsx1 expression after RNAi treatment. The number of offspring in all experimental groups was measured, and was significantly greater in the RNAi-treated group compared with the control group. These results provide a foundation for further work on the molecular basis of switching between the two modes of reproduction in cladocerans. The findings also further increase our understanding of the regulatory effects of Dsx1 in the differing sexes in these crustaceans.

This is an experimental trial to prepare a vaccine from gamma-irradiated Giardia lamblia which is evaluated in experimental animals. The study was conducted from December 2015 to April 2016. The field survey of the parasite was conducted from those patients attending the laboratories of the Alawi Children's Hospital in Rusafa and the Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital in Karkh, through which 1250 stool samples of different age groups were examined. Five groups of mice were used in the study; the first was injected with normal saline and considered as a negative control group, the second was injected with cystic form of non-irradiated Giardia lamblia and considered as a positive control group, whereas the other three groups were injected with gamma irradiated Giardia lamblia at three different doses 10, 15 and 25 rad respectively. Giardia lamblia was primarily cultivated in liver infusion agar for ten days to obtain the active phase. On the sixth day, the cystic phase was purified and standardized to be used in the infection of mice with or without the exposure of gamma rays. Mice showed high sensitivity to parasitic infestation, in the gamma non-irradiated and the irradiated with gamma 10 rad, and 15 rad irradiated groups which was 100%. The results expressed an excystation process of the depleted phases and the release of the feeder phases. The results of the three irradiated groups consisted of histopathological changes of the small, and the rectum by dissection after two weeks of infection, with intestine amputation lesions, as well as ulceration and inflammation of the inflammatory cells represented in small numbers of neutrophil, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. The presence of ulceration and fall of epithelial cells in the intestinal cavity has been shown, and different forms of the parasite have been observed. Mice which was injected with irradiated G lamblia at high dose (25 rad), not show and sensitivity to the challenge infection and no excystation of thy parasite had been done. After 2 wreaks, a comparison was achieved between all study groups in which no histopathological changes were noticed in the mice irradiated with dose of25 rad. After another two weeks, a challenge dose was given (un-attenuated G lamblia) and mice were dissected after another two weeks, no changes on the level of histopathology of intestinal tissue were noticed the results suggested that mice acquire an immunity against the parasite infection.

This study is aimed at analyzing the anticancer properties of papaya leaf extract, specifically the inhibition of cell proliferation and apoptotic induction through nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and p53 pathways. Twenty-five mice (Mus musculus), aged 2 months and weighing 20–30 g, was injected with 0.5 mg dexamethasone for 7 days. The mice were then injected intracutaneously with 1 ml of HeLa cells (8 × 106 HeLa cells/microliter). The mice were divided into five groups (5 each): negative control (P1) (5% CMC-Na, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), treatment II (225 mg/kg BW (body weight) papaya leaves methanol extract), treatment III (450 mg/kg BW), treatment IV (750 mg/kg BW), and treatment PV (2 mg alcohol anticancer drug). Papaya leaf extract treatments were applied for 2 weeks. Then, the tumor tissue was isolated for hematoxylin and eosin staining. Immunohistochemical imaging was used to detect Ki-67, caspase-3, NF-κB, and p53 expression. Further analysis was undertaken using the ImmunoRatio software program. The results indicated that administration of papaya leaf methanol extract significantly increased the expression of NF-κB and p53 at a dose of 450 mg/kg BW. Our results also showed that the mice treated with 450 mg of papaya leaf extract per kg of BW (P3) had the largest increase of caspase-3 expression compared to the negative control group. Papaya leaf ethanol extract decreased the cancer cell proliferation index and increased apoptosis of cancer cells in animal models of cervical cancer; it may also work to increase NF-kB expression and expression of the p53 gene.

ABSTRACTPeanut shell (PS) infusion has been shown to be antithrombocytopenia, but there has been no research on safety standards. This study aims to identify the symptoms of toxic effects, the potency of toxicity and histopathology of liver male Balb/C mice after a single dose of PS infusion. This research uses randomized matched posttest only control group design. Twenty five mice were divided into 5 orally dosage groups, ie, PS infusion with a dose of 0,026; 0.052; 0.104; 0.208 g/20gBW; and negative control of CMC Na 0.5%. The observation period is for 14 days. The results showed that single dose of PS infusion had a pseudo LD50 value ie > 0.208g/20gBW which was practically non toxic. Symptoms to watch out for the BW infusion were passive behavior, bradycnea, hair color change, hair loss, and weight loss at doses of 3 and 4. It is unclear whether liver damage ie inflammation, necrosis, and albuminous degeneration caused by PS infusion or other causes.keywords: acute toxicity, infusion, peanut shell
