蝙蝠等野生動物能量代謝測量技術(shù)
發(fā)布時間: 2020-02-10 點擊次數(shù): 2421次2019年歲末的一場新型冠狀病毒(2019-nCoV)肆虐讓整個華夏大地籠罩在恐慌之中。2020年1月23日中科院武漢病毒所研究發(fā)現(xiàn)新型冠狀病毒與此前在云南中菊頭蝠(Rhinolophus affinis)上檢測到的蝙蝠冠狀病毒RaTG13相比較具有96.2%的一致性。據(jù)此推測新型冠狀病毒起源于蝙蝠。國外大量研究報道證實蝙蝠確實是攜帶多病毒種類的哺乳動物之一,但是因為特殊體質(zhì)(高溫)和強大的免疫系統(tǒng),這些病毒并不能對蝙蝠造成傷害。而維持高體溫和增強免疫系統(tǒng)與新陳代謝(能量代謝)密切相關(guān)。
SSI多功能創(chuàng)新型動物能量代謝監(jiān)測基于呼吸代謝室(metabolic chamber)技術(shù),系統(tǒng)主要由定制呼吸室、氣流發(fā)生控制與二次抽樣單元、氣體分析(氧氣、二氧化碳和水汽)單元、數(shù)據(jù)采集器,功能強大數(shù)據(jù)分析處理軟件等組成,可以備選溫度傳感器探針、溫濕度控制箱、動物活動度監(jiān)測器、動物行為記錄與分析單元、野生動物紅外熱成像單元、植入式溫度(心率)記錄儀等全面記錄動物的行為與生理參數(shù),廣泛用于動物呼吸生理學(xué)、腸道微生物能量代謝調(diào)節(jié),神經(jīng)與免疫代謝調(diào)節(jié),野生動物生理生態(tài)以及與微生物宿主的協(xié)同進化研究等。
上圖為幾種動物的能量代謝測量研究(備注:左上圖的蜂鳥設(shè)計同樣適用于蝙蝠)
典型應(yīng)用一
Interruption to cutaneous gas exchange is not a likely mechanism of WNS-associated death in bats[J],Carey C S, Boyles J G.. Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015, 218(13): 1986-1989.
本文使用SSI能量代謝監(jiān)測技術(shù)研究了褐蝠患有白鼻綜合癥(WNS)后的皮膚脫水,以及呼吸代謝過程中的水分代謝、能量代謝情況,實驗測試了毀滅性肺孢子蟲感染可導(dǎo)致跨翼膜的被動氣體交換通路中斷,從而導(dǎo)致水強化肺呼吸代償性增加。
典型應(yīng)用二
WHITE-NOSE SYNDROME AND IMMUNE RESPONSES IN A RESISTANT BAT SPECIES (EPTESICUS FUSCUS)[J], Naffa K S.2019.
本實驗通過SSI能量代謝技術(shù)測量了冬眠期的代謝率喚醒/遲鈍的模式(Fig3),以及利用敏感的數(shù)據(jù)記錄器記錄體溫(Fig2),研究了易感真菌Psuedogymnoascus destructans(Pd)患有WNS疾病蝙蝠免疫系統(tǒng)反應(yīng)可能導(dǎo)致新陳代謝率的提高以使蝙蝠更頻繁地醒來。假設(shè)抗藥性蝙蝠不會產(chǎn)生免疫反應(yīng),但是如果它們真的產(chǎn)生免疫反應(yīng)作為回應(yīng),假設(shè)蝙蝠接種了Pd并用抗炎藥治療治療不會對感染產(chǎn)生反應(yīng),終會保留脂肪儲備并降低冬眠期間的代謝消耗。
典型應(yīng)用三
Short-term thermoregulatory adjustments in a South American anseriform, the black-necked swan (Cygnus melanocoryphus)[J],Nespolo R F, Artacho P, Verdugo C, et al. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2008, 150(3): 366-368.
本文通過SSI能量代謝監(jiān)測研究黑頸天鵝短期熱應(yīng)激后的能量代謝調(diào)節(jié),結(jié)果表明此種類天鵝與其它雁形目、雜色類鵝類相比較出現(xiàn)較低的靜息代謝率,以及黑頸天鵝在不同的溫度濕度環(huán)境下改變了“濕”熱導(dǎo)率。
典型應(yīng)用四
Comparison between conventional and" clinical" assessment of experimental lung fibrosis[J],Ask K, Labiris R, Farkas L, et al.. Journal of translational medicine, 2008, 6(1): 16.
本文通過SSI能量代謝監(jiān)測技術(shù)研究特發(fā)性肺纖維化動物的大耗氧量VO2max,將嚙齒動物置于在封閉的跑步機上以越來越快的速度跑連續(xù)測量氧氣和二氧化碳。大VO2平均減少了10%,但沒有達到統(tǒng)計顯著性。
需要說明的是,北京易科泰生態(tài)技術(shù)有限公司作為美國SSI公司在中國的*家技術(shù)支持中心,積10多年的動物能量代謝監(jiān)測技術(shù)經(jīng)驗可以為各種動物(媒介昆蟲、哺乳動物、鳥類、海洋動物、經(jīng)濟動物、人體等)能量代謝監(jiān)測提供創(chuàng)新型專家型技術(shù)方案。
