CREB-H基因在猪不同组织中表达谱及肝脏中的表达规律

本研究旨在分析环腺苷酸应答元件结合蛋白H(cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like 3,CREB-H)在猪不同组织中的表达谱及其在马身猪和大白猪肝脏中的发育性表达规律。采用实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting技术检测1日龄猪12个组织(心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肺脏、肾脏、胃、小肠、小脑、下丘脑、背最长肌、股肌和腰肌)中CREB-H基因的表达谱,以及CREB-H在1、30、60、90、120、150和180日龄马身猪和大白猪肝脏中的表达规律。结果显示,CREB-H基因mRNA在马身猪的12个组织中广泛表达,其中在肝脏和小肠中高表达;CREB-H蛋白在肝脏组织中的表达量显著高于其他组织(P0.05),在心脏、脾脏和小脑中不表达。猪肝脏CREB-H基因mRNA和蛋白的发育表达受日龄、品种、品种与日龄相互作用的影响(P0.01)。马身猪和大白猪肝脏中CREB-H基因mRNA和蛋白的表达量均在1日龄时达到最大值。在各发育阶段,马身猪CREB-H蛋白的表达量均极显著高于大白猪(P0.01),且CREB-H主要在猪肝脏中表达。CREB-H在两猪种肝脏中的表达存在时空差异,可能与猪在不同发育期的脂质代谢能力有关,本试验结果为研究猪的脂质代谢调控机制提供一定的理论依据。

Study on Developmental Expression of ApoCⅡ Gene mRNA in Liver Tissues of Pigs

The aim of this study was to investigate the developmental patterns of ApoCⅡ gene mRNA in liver in Mashen and Large White pigs, and study the relationship between the expression level of ApoCⅡ and the lipid metabolism in pigs.The mRNA relative expressions of ApoCⅡ gene in liver at seven stages of 1,30,60,90,120,150,and 180-day old in Mashen and Large White pigs were determined by quantitative Real-time PCR.The results showed that the developmental trend of ApoCⅡ mRNA expression in liver between Mashen and Large White pigs was different.The ApoCⅡ mRNA abundance was decreased from birth to 60-day old,then increased at 90-day old,and decreased again after that in Mashen pig.However,the relative expression amount in Large White pig was gradually decreased from birth to 150-day old and increased again at 180-day old.Except for the ApoCⅡ mRNA expression amount at 1-day old,the differences of the expression amount at other stages in Mashen and Large White pigs were significant or extremely significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The ApoCⅡ mRNA expression in liver was affected by age and breed,and could play an important role in lipid metabolism in pigs.     

Study on the Expression Profile of Pax7 Gene and its Developmental Expression in Longissimus Dorsi of Pigs

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression profile of Pax7 (paired box 7) gene in different tissues and its developmental expression in longissimus dorsi of pigs.The expression profiles of Pax7 gene at the levels of mRNA and protein in 12 different tissues including heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,stomach,small intestine,hypothalamus,cerebellum,longissimus dorsi,biceeps femoris,psoas major of Mashen pigs at birth and the developmental expression patterns in longissimus dorsi at seven stages (1,30,60,90,120,150,and 180-day old) of Mashen and Large White pigs were studied by quantitative Real-time PCR and Western blotting.The results showed that the Pax7 mRNA was expressed in longissimus dorsi,biceeps femoris,psoas major,hypothalamus,and cerebellum,wherease the Pax7 protein was only expressed in skeletal muscles of longissimus dorsi,biceeps femoris,and psoas major.The developmental expression patterns of Pax7 mRNA and protein in Mashen pig was basically in accordance with those in Large White pig.The mRNA expression amount of Pax7 gene in longissimus dorsi was the greatest at 30-day old (P <0.01),followed by the expression at 1-day old,and kept lower stable levels at other stages both in Mashen and Large White pigs.At the stages of 30-day,90-day,and 180-day old,Pax7 mRNA expression amounts in Mashen pig were significantly higher than those in Large White pig (P <0.01).The Pax7 protein expression at 1-day old was the greatest (P <0.01),followed by it at 30-day old,which were significantly greater than those at other stages,at which Pax7 expression was in lower stable levels.The Pax7 protein expression from one-day old to 180-day old in Mashen pig was significantly greater than those in Large White pig (P <0.05;P <0.01).The expression of Pax7 gene could associated with tissue,age,and background of pig breed.     

Cellular Localization,Expression Patterns of CCAR1 Gene,and Its Effect on Cell Proliferation in Pig

The aim of this study was to obtain the complete coding sequence (CDS) of CCAR1 gene, and to explore its subcellular localization, expression profile and its effects on cell prolification and action mechanism in pig. In this study, the cDNA from kidney tissue of 1-day-old Mashen pigs were used as the template to obtain the full-length CDS of CCAR1 gene by RT-PCR and sequencing. The cellular immunofluorescence staining was used to explore the subcellular localization of CCAR1 in PK15 cells. The temporal and spatial expression profile of CCAR1 was investigated by qRT-PCR in this study. The CCAR1 gene in PK15 cells was knocked out by using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, and the effects of CCAR1 gene on cell proliferation and expression of cell proliferation and apoptosis related genes were investigated by qRT-PCR, Western blot and CCK8 (cell counting kit 8) technologies in this experiment. The results showed that the complete CDS region of pig CCAR1 gene was 3 459 bp in length (MH301308.1). CCAR1 protein was localized in both cytoplasm and nucleus of PK15 cells. The expression profiles of CCAR1 mRNA between Large White and Mashen pigs was similar, which was expressed in all detected tissues, with the highest expression in kidney and small intestine, middle expression in spleen, liver, cerebellum and muscle, and the lowest expression in heart and subcutaneous fat. Temporal expression results showed that CCAR1 was expressed in both psoas muscle and longissimus dorsi muscle at 3 developmental stages both in Mashen and Large White pigs. The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system effectively reduced the expression of CCAR1. CCK8 results showed that after 48 hours of transfection, compared with the control group, the proliferation of cells in the experimental groups were extremely significantly inhibited (P<0.01). After CCAR1 gene knocked out, the expression level of Mki67, a marker of cell proliferation, was significantly decreased (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression level of Caspase3 and the core protein β-catenin in Wnt pathway between control group and experimental groups, and the expression level of downstream target gene C-myc of Wnt pathway was decreased significantly(P<0.05). CCAR1 gene was expressed almost in all tissues at different developmental stages, and affected cell proliferation by regulating the expression levels of Mki67 and C-myc, and played an important role in growth and development of pig.     

The Expression Characteristics of MYNN Gene in Different Tissues and Muscles of Pig

This study was aimed to investigate the expression characteristics of myoneurin (MYNN) gene in different tissues and its developmental expression in muscles (longissimus dorsi, biceps femoris and psoas major), cerebellum, liver, pancreas, kidney, stomach, spleen and lung tissues of pigs. The expression characteristics of MYNN mRNA in 11 different tissues including heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, cerebellum, small intestine, pancreas, stomach, biceps femoris and fat of Large White pigs and Mashen pigs at the age of 90 days and the developmental expression patterns in muscle, cerebellum, liver, pancreas, kidney, stomach, spleen at three strages (1, 90, 180 days) of Large White pigs and Mashen pigs were studied by Real-time PCR. The results showed that MYNN was widely expressed in various tissues of pigs, and there was significant difference among the tissues(P < 0.05; P < 0.01); The expression of MYNN in muscle, liver, pancreas, cerebellum, kidney, stomach, spleen, lung tissues were significant difference at three development stages of Large White pigs and Mashen pigs(P < 0.05; P < 0.01), and also had a specific rule, which indicated that it may play an important role in these pig tissues. The expression of MYNN gene could related to the tissue, age and the genetic background of breeds. The results of this study provided a better understanding of the biological functions of pig MYNN. Further studies are required to determine its molecular mechanisms, especially in the regulation of skeletal muscle development.
