Haemophilus parasuis(HPS) is one of the main virulent bacteria that threating the pig industry worldwide.HPS infection typically causes serious inflammations,namely Glässer’s disease.But there are still many troubles in disease prevention and control.Though much progress has been made in the basic research fields of bacterial virulent factors and host immune responses(IR) recently,the mechanisms of host-bacillus interaction are largely unknown.As the different susceptibilities in pigs exist,genomic selection based on molecular breeding strategy will receiving increasing attention from scientists and commercial breeders.Here,some high through-out data from our and other labs are reviewed in brief and the model for the host IR is proposed.We hypothesize that the activation of macrophage during the early stage of IR may play pivotal roles in determining bacillus escape and/or host protective IRs.In addition,key molecules and pathways involved in the IR of macrophage are discussed,which we hope will be helpful for the marker identifications in objectives of molecular breeding.Still,there is much work to be done and some suggestions are proposed in the article.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Ginsenoside Rb1(GSRb1) induce Hegu acupoint microvascular vasomotion and the effect on sensitive threshold of Rat myocardial microvascular endothelial cells(RMMECs).Microvascular vasomotion was detected by laser doppler blood flow monitor combined with iontophoresis device.The changes of calcium in the RMMECs were measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy combined with calcium fluorescent probe (Fluo-3AM).The results were as follows:The minimum amount of ATP could induce calcium transient increase in RMMECs was 0.5 μg•mL-1,the dose of significant difference was 0.7 μg•mL-1 and the minimum amounts of GSRb1 inducing calcium changes in RMMECs was 8 μg•mL-1.After incubation 8 μg•mL-1 of GSRb1,the minimum amount of ATP could induce calcium transient increase in RMMECs was 1.5 μg•mL-1.Eight μg•mL-1 of GSRb1 can inhibit the ATP-induced intracellular calcium transient rise,that meant,GSRb1 increased the sensitive threshold of RMMECs to ATP.

The research was conducted to screen the influence factors on swainsonine production in fungal endophyte,Undifilum oxytropis,from locoweed.U.oxytropis were inoculated in liquid medium of different pH or containing different concentration of PEG,L-pipecolic acid,L-lysine and ɑ-ketoglutaric acid,respectively.To estimate the influence of different factors on swainsonine production in U.oxytropis,the swainsonine of cultured fungal mycelia and zymotic fluid were extracted and detected after shaking culture.The results showed that low pH (pH4.5) inhibit significantly (P<0.05) the synthesis of swainsonine in fungi.With the increase of PEG in culture medium,the production of swainsonine in fungi was also inhibited significantly (P<0.01).When the fungi were inoculated respectively in liquid medium that contained equivalent concentration (10-3 mol•L-1) of L-pipecolic acid,L-lysine or ɑ-ketoglutaric acid,the production of swainsonine was inhibited significantly (P<0.05) in the group added L-pipecolic acid.However,the yield of swainsonine were increased significantly(P<0.05) in the group added L-lysine.When the initial concentration of L-pipecolic acid was 10-3 and 10-2 mol•L-1,the production of swainsonine in U.oxytropis was inhibited significantly (P<0.05).However,when the initial concentration of L-pipecolic acid was 10-4 mol•L-1,the yield of swainsonine in U.oxytropis was increased significantly (P<0.01).When the initial concentration of L-lysine was 10-1,10-2 and 10-4 mol•L-1,the production of swainsonine in U.oxytropis was inhibited significantly (P<0.05).When the initial concentration of ɑ-ketoglutaric acid was 10-1,10-2 and 10-3 mol•L-1,the production of swainsonine in U.oxytropis was inhibited significantly(P<0.05).Low pH or PEG added to medium could significantly inhibit the production of swainsonine in U.oxytropis.It was significant that the influence of L-pipecolic acid,L-lysine and ɑ-ketoglutaric acid on the swainsonine producing of fungal endophyte.However,the extent of influence on fungal swainsonine producing was highly correlated with the concentration of L-pipecolic acid,L-lysine and ɑ-ketoglutaric in liquid media.
