The cell line was subcultured more than 40 passages in minimum essential medium （MEM） supplemented with fetal bovine serum （FBS） and 10 ng ml4 basic fibroblast growth factor （bFGF）. Cell morphology from primary culture and subculture was observed continuously by microscopy. The SHK cell line consisted predominantly of fibroblast-like cells. The cell line was able to grow between 20℃ and 30℃ with the optimum growth at 24℃ and with a reduced growth between 12℃ and 20℃. The growth rate of the cells increased as the proportion of FBS increased from 10% to 20% at 28℃ with optimum growth at the concentration of 20%. The doubling time of the cells was determined to be 44.8 h. Chromosome analysis revealed that 52% of the SHK cells maintained a normal diploid chromosome number （2n=46）. The cells were successfully transfected with green fluorescent protein （GFP） reporter plasmids and the expression of GFP gene in the cells indicated the possible utility of the cells in gene expression studies. The cells were infected by lymphosystis disease virus （LCDV） and found to be susceptible to the virus in cytopathic effect （CPE） observation. The infection was confirmed by PCR and electron microscopy experiments, which proved the existence of the viral particles in the cytoplasm of the virus-infected cells.展开更多

The performances of 17 isozymesin 8 kinds of tissues or organs were screened preliminarily in a TC-7.0 buffer system. The resultsshowed that the screened isozymes displayed remarkable tissue-specificities. Finally, 14 enzymes(AAT, ADH, EST, OPI, G3PDH, IDHP, LAP, LDH, MDH, MPI, PGDH, PGM, SDH and SOD) and 4 kinds of tissues(eye, skeleton muscle, liver and heart) were selected for genetic analysis. Fourteen isozymes areencoded by 20 loci, and 9 of them are polymorphic. The polymorphic loci are AAT-1~*, GPI-2~*,G3PDH~*, IDHP-1~*, LDH~*, MPI~*, PGM-1~*. PGM-2~* and SDH~*, and the proportion of polymorphic lociis 0.4500 (P_(0.99)) ? The mean values of observed and expected heterozygosities are 0.0278and 0.0265, respectively and the average effective number of alleles is 1.0675.展开更多

A total of 29 alleles were detected, of which 23 alleles were in the artificial gynogenetic population while 29 alleles were in the control group. The average observed heterozygosity （Ho） of eight loci in the control group （0.526 8） was several times higher than that （0.185 8） in the gynogenetic population. The results indicate that the genetic diversity of the control group was much higher than that of the gynogenetic population ofbarfin flounder （Verasper moseri）. Most loci significantly deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilib- rium （HWE） after Bonferroni correction （p 〈 0.005 56） in the gynogenetic population, while four loci deviated from HWE in the control group. The coefficient of gene differentiation （GsT） was 0.131 0, and the genetic distance was 0.171 8 between the two populations, suggesting a significant genetic differentiation between the two populations.展开更多

Primarily cultured cells grew well at 22℃ in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium/F12 medium(DMEM/F12, 1:1; p H 7.2) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum(FBS), carboxymethyl chitooligosaccharide, basic fibroblast growth factor(b FGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I). The primary BFO cells in fibroblastic morphology proliferated into a confluent monolayer about 2 weeks later, and were able to be subcultured. Impacts of medium and temperature on the growth of the cells were examined. The optimum growth was found in DMEM/F12 with 20% FBS and at 22℃. The BFO cells can be continuously subcultured to Passage 120 steadily with a population doubling time of 32.7 h at Passage 60. Chromosome analysis revealed that 72% of BFO cells at Passage 60 maintained the normal diploid chromosome number(46) with a normal karyotype of 2st+44t. The results of gene transformation indicated that green fluorescence protein(GFP) positively expressed in these cells after being transformed with pc DNA3.1-GFP. Therefore, a continuous and transformable BFO cell line was successfully established, which may serve as a useful tool for cytotechnological manipulation and transgenic modification of this fish.展开更多

Fert...Broodstock of Verasper moseri （Jordan and Gilbert） aged 3-4 years old were selected, and reinforced cultivation was conducted to promote maturation under controlled water temperature and photoperiod conditions. Fertilized eggs were obtained by artificial fertilization, and the development of embryos, larvae and juveniles was observed continuously. The results showed that the fertilized eggs of V. moseri were spherical, with transparent yolk and homogeneous bioplasm, and had no oil globule inside. The average diameter of the eggs was 1.77＋0.02 mm. The eggs of V. moseri were buoyant in water with salinity above 35. The cleavage type was typical discoidal. Young pigment cells appeared when olfactory plates began to form. Hatching occurred at 187 h after fertilization at a water temperature of 8.5℃. The newly hatched larvae, floating on the water surface, were transparent with an average total length of 4.69±0.15 mm. During the cultivation period, when the water temperature was raised from 9 to 14.5℃, 4-day old larvae showed more melanophores on the body surface, making the larvae gray in color. The pectoral fins began to develop, which enabled the larvae to swim horizontally and in a lively manner. On days 7-8, the digestive duct formed. The yolk sac was small and black. The yolk sac was absorbed on day 11. Larvae took food actively, and body length and body height clearly increased. The rudiments of dorsal and anal fin pterygiophores were discernible and caudal fin ray elements formed on day 19. On day 24, the larval notochord flexed upwards, and the rays of unpaired fins began to differentiate. Pigment cells converged on the dorsal and anal fin rays, and the mastoid teeth on the mandible appeared. On day 29, the left eyes of juveniles began to move upwards. Depigmentation began in some juveniles and they became sandy brown in color on day 37. Most juveniles began to settle on the bottom of the tank. The left eyes of juveniles migrated completely to the right side on day 50, when the average body length attained 2.5±0.18 cm, and juveniles accomplished metamorphosis to young. The embryonic and larval characters of several flounder species are compared.展开更多

The functions of IL-1β have been extensively studied in many vertebrates. However, few studies focused on the functions of IL-1β in the spotted halibut （Verasper variegatus）, an endangered aquatic fish that easily suffers from bacterial and viral infections. We first cloned and sequenced the IL-1β gene from V. variegatus （VvIL-1β）. Its conservative interleukin-1 propeptide and interleukin-1/18 domains corresponding regions, characteristics of the IL-1 protein family and TA-rich motifs relating to inflammatory responses were similar to those of the IL-1β genes from other teleost and mammals. The phylogenetic analysis showed that VvIL-1β was homologous to the IL-1β gene of other vertebrates. Treatment with pathogen-associated molecular patterns （PAMPs） induced a significant and rapid up-regulation of VvIL-1β expression in the peripheral blood leukocytes （PBLs）, revealing that VvIL-1β is actively involved in the host ilmnune responses against bacterial and viral pathogens. The expression level of VvIL-1β was relatively high in the PBLs, gill, and intestine, indicating the immunological function of VvIL-1β . VvIL-1β also had interesting expression patterns at specific developmental stages, implying that the IL-1β of flatfishes may have some novel functions during embryonic development and metamorphosis. The 3D structure prediction also provided information about how VvIL-113 interacts with its receptor protein. These results suggested that VvIL-1β may have multiple functions in V. variegatus and provided us valuable information for understanding the novel functions of IL- 1β.展开更多
