摘要: 旨在预测并验证调节绵羊皮下脂肪细胞中SCD1基因表达的关键miRNAs。本研究利用4个生物信息学软件TargetScan、mirDB、StarBase和miRanda预测与该基因具有靶标关系的关键miRNAs;利用双荧光素酶报告系统验证SCD1基因与miRNAs的靶标关系;利用荧光定量PCR和Western-blotting技术,分别在mRNA和蛋白水平上检测miRNAs对SCD1 mRNA和蛋白质表达的影响。预测结果表明,miR-200c和miR-429是调控SCD1基因表达的关键miRNAs;双荧光素酶报告系统检测证明,2个miRNAs与SCD1基因都具有靶标关系;荧光定量PCR显示,miR-200c和miR-429显著抑制SCD1 mRNA的表达(P<0.05),且miR-200c作用更大;Western-blotting显示,miR-200c和miR-429极显著抑制SCD1蛋白质的表达(P<0.01);显微镜观察发现,miR-200c和miR-429抑制绵羊皮下脂肪细胞脂滴生成。由此证明,miR-200c和miR-429均靶向抑制SCD1基因的表达,进而抑制绵羊脂肪生成。

Abstract: This study aimed to predict and validate the key miRNAs that regulated SCD1 gene expression in ovine subcutaneous adipocytes. miRNAs targeting SCD1 were predicted by bioinformatics softwares of TargetScan, mirDB, StarBase and miRanda. The dual luciferase reporter system was used to verify the target relationships between SCD1 gene and miRNAs. Fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western-blotting techniques were used to detect the effect of miRNAs on SCD1 expression at mRNA and protein levels. The prediction results indicated that SCD1 gene was targeted by both miR-200c and miR-429. Dual luciferase reporter system assay demonstrated that there were target relationships between the 2 miRNAs and SCD1 gene. Fluorescent quantitative PCR analysis showed that miR-200c and miR-429 significantly inhibited SCD1 mRNA expression (P<0.05), and miR-200c was more effective. Western-blotting results showed that miR-200c and miR-429 reduced SCD1 protein level (P<0.01). Microscopical observation showed that miR-200c and miR-429 inhibited ovine subcutaneous lipid droplet formation. In conclusion, miR-200c and miR-429 can down-regulate SCD1 gene expression, thus inhibit ovine lipogenesis.
