猪Ghrelin基因真核表达载体构建(英文)

目的]为研究转生长相关基因对猪的作用。方法]采用RT-PCR方法,从13/17罗伯逊易位杂合子猪小肠组织中提取总RNA,将其纯化后作为PCR扩增模板,参考GenBank公布的猪Ghrelin的mRNA序列设计合成具有Nhe I和Hind III双酶切位点引物,扩增获得Ghrelin基因cD-NA全长序列。将准确的Ghrelin基因片段克隆于 pMD19-T simple Vector后进行序列分析,获得猪Ghrelin基因cDNA全长基因片段。经Nhe I和Hind III双酶切,将 Ghrelin基因cDNA片段连接到真核表达载体pEGFP-N1,获得真核表达载体的重组质粒pEGFP-Ghrelin。重组质粒转染猪成纤维细胞,观察标记基因荧光蛋白的表达。结果]13/17罗伯逊易位杂合子猪的Ghrelin基因与已发表的序列相同,并成功获得具备猪Ghrelin基因全长cDNA序列的真核表达载体pEGFP-Ghrelin。结论]构建的真核表达载体可以用于转基因猪的进一步试验,同时也为研究Ghrelin的调节机制奠定基础。

Construction of Eukaryotic Expression Vector for Pig Ghrelin Gene

Objective] This study aimed to investigate the functions of transgenic growth related gene in pig growth. Method] A pair of primers containing Nhe I and Hind Ⅲ restriction sites were designed by referring to the pig Ghrelin mRNA sequence published in Genbank. Total RNA was extracted from the small intestine tissue of 13/17 Robertson translocation heterozygous pig, and then was purified and used as the template in later RT-PCR reaction to amplify the full-length pig Ghrelin gene. The correct pig Ghrelin gene fragment was cloned into the pMD19-T simple vector for sequencing analysis. The obtained full-length cDNA of pig Ghrelin gene fragment was digested with both Nhe I and Hind Ⅲ, and then was linked into the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1 to obtain the recombinant plasmid pEGFPGhrelin. The recombinant plasmid was transected into the fibroblast cells to detect the fluorescence labeled gene expression. Result] The nucleotide sequence extracted from 13/17 Robertson translocation heterozygous pig was the same as expected; and the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-Ghrelin was successfully constructed. Conclusion] The eukaryotic expression vector constructed in this study can be further used in research on transgenic pigs, but also lays foundation for research on the regulatory mechanism of Ghrelin gene.
