摘要:

本试验旨在克隆水牛阴阳因子1YY1)基因,并筛选获得可有效抑制水牛YY1基因表达的shRNA干扰片段。以水牛成纤维细胞cDNA为模板,采用RT-PCR方法,扩增水牛YY1基因CDS序列,将其连接插入到pMD18-T载体中,进行序列测序并分析。采用Xho IEcoR I双酶切,将水牛YY1基因编码区定向克隆至pEGFP-N1载体中,构建其真核表达载体pYY1-EGFP-N1。设计2条靶向水牛YY1基因的shRNA序列并构建其慢病毒表达载体,命名为pSicoR-GFP-YY1 shRNA1/2。以pSicoR-GFPpSicoR-GFP-1864分别为空白对照和阴性对照质粒,采用脂质体转染方法,将YY1真核表达载体分别与2shRNA慢病毒表达载体共转染293T细胞,48 h后观察绿色荧光蛋白EGFP表达情况;72 h收集共转染细胞样品,采用qRT-PCRWestern-blot方法分析YY1基因的表达水平。结果表明,克隆得到1 248 bp的水牛YY1基因CDS序列,其与牛YY1基因的同源性达99%。构建的水牛YY1基因真核表达载体pYY1-EGFP-N1能在水牛胎儿成纤维细胞(BFF)中瞬时表达。酶切分析及序列测定结果表明,所构建的shRNA慢病毒表达载体pSicoR-GFP-YY1 shRNA1/2为阳性克隆。质粒共转染293T细胞48 h后,可观察到绿色荧光蛋白EGFP的表达。qRT-PCR结果显示,设计合成的2shRNA对水牛YY1基因的表达均有抑制效果,其中YY1 shRNA2的抑制效果(93.64%)显著高于YY1 shRNA150.77%(P<0.05)Western-blot分析结果显示,2shRNAYY1蛋白表达均有抑制效果。以上结果说明克隆得到水牛YY1基因编码区序列,并获得2条有效抑制其表达的shRNA片段,为进一步阐明YY1基因在水牛早期胚胎发育过程中的作用奠定了基础。

Abstract:

The aim of present study was to clone the CDS sequences of buffalo YY1 geneand screen its effective shRNA fragments.The cDNA of buffalo fetal fibroblast(BFF) was used as the PCR templatethe CDS full-length sequence of buffalo YY1 gene was amplified by using touch down RT-PCR methods.The purified CDS fragment was inserted into pMD18-T vectorand the positive plasmid was identified and sequenced.Fusion expression vector of buffalo YY1 gene was constructed by inserting the YY1 CDS fragment into pEGFP-N1 vectornamed as pYY1-EGFP N1.The pYY1-EGFP-N1 plasmid was transfected into BFF cells by Lipofectamine® LTX reagent.Two shRNA fragments targeting buffalo YY1 gene were designed and synthesizedtheir lentiviral expression vectors were constructednamed as pSicoR-GFP-YY1 shRNA1/2 respectively.YY1 recombinant plasmid (pYY1-EGFP-N1) and shRNA lentiviral expression plasmid (pSicoR-GFP-YY1 shRNA1/2) were co-transfected into 293T cells by using Lipo-LTX reagent at the ratio of 1:1 or 1:6pSicoR-GFP and pSicoR-GFP-1864 plasmid were used as blank and negative control respectively.At 72 h after transfectionthe cells were harvestedand the total RNA was extracted.The expression of YY1 gene in each transfected cells was detected by qRT-PCR and Western-blot methods. The results showed that the CDS sequence of cloned buffalo YY1 was 1 248 bpthe nucleotide homology of YY1 gene between bovine and buffalo was 99%.The constructed pYY1-EGFP-N1 plasmid could transiently express in BFF cells.The results of qRT-PCR showed that the two designed shRNAs could inhibit the expression of buffalo YY1 mRNAthe shRNA2 fragment had significantly higher inhibition effect than shRNA1 (93.64% v 50.77%) (P<0.05).The results of Western-blot analysis confirmed that the two shRNAs had inhibition effect on gene expression of buffalo YY1.The above results indicated that the CDS sequence of buffalo YY1 was obtainedtwo effective shRNA fragments targeting buffalo YY1 gene were selectedwhich laid foundation for further study the role of YY1 gene in buffalo embryo development.
