AI Article Synopsis
- The study discovered new major sperm protein (MSP) genes from two types of nodule worms, Oesophagostomum dentatum and Oesophagostomum quadrispinulatum, found in pigs in China.
- Researchers extracted genomic DNA from male worm samples and amplified MSP genes using specific primers, leading to the identification of two distinct types of MSP sequences—those with introns and those without.
- The analysis showed that five new MSP members were found in O. dentatum and three in O. quadrispinulatum, with sequences containing introns being more conserved and having high amino acid identity compared to other nematodes, paving the way for future studies on the molecular aspects of these
Article Abstract
The present study identified and characterized new major sperm protein (MSP) genes from the two nodule worms Oesophagostomum dentatum and Oesophagostomum quadrispinulatum collected from pigs in China. Total genomic DNA was extracted individually from 10 male nematode samples representing O. dentatum, and 4 male nematode samples representing O. quadrispinulatum. A pair of primers (OMSP1F/MSP1R) was designed based on the MSP gene sequences of Ascaris suum and O. dentatum available in GenBank, and used to amplify the MSP genes from the two porcine nodule worms. The PCR products were purified and subsequently cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector. Recombinants were identified by PCR and sequenced. Sequence analysis revealed that there were two different types of MSP sequences in O. dentatum and O. quadrispinulatum, one contained intron, and the other did not. The lengths of the MSP sequences containing introns were 433 bp or 439 bp in O. dentatum, and 436 bp, 439 bp or 446 bp in O. quadrispinulatum, containing 1 or 2 introns. Five and three new members of the MSP multigene family were identified in O. dentatum and O. quadrispinulatum in this study, respectively. The MSP sequences without introns were 381 bp in length, and can be deduced into 126 amino acids. The sequences of MSP genes containing introns seem to be more conserved than those without introns. The identities of deduced amino acid sequences of the MSP genes containing introns were 96.0-100% within and between the two nodule worms, and were 81.1-93.7% compared with other published MSP sequences of the representative nematodes. The present study identified new MSP genes with introns from O. dentatum and O. quadrispinulatum for the first time. The identification and characterization of newly described MSP genes from O. dentatum and O. quadrispinulatum have implications for further studies of molecular biology and reproduction control of Oesophagostomum spp.

Background: Promoter methylation silencing of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and dysregulation of the PPARγ/COX2 axis contribute to colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. This study investigated for the first time the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on promoter methylation of PPARγ and the PPARγ/COX2 axis in five CRC cell lines.
Methods: Five CRC cell lines (SW742, HCT116, Caco2, LS180, and HT29/219) were treated with 100 µM of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or linoleic acid (LA).
