摘要: 通过研究血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)与中性氨基酸转运载体B0AT1和葡萄糖转运载体SGLT-1、GLUT-2在不同日龄仔猪肠道中的分布表达,探讨其相互关系。以断奶仔猪为研究对象,分别取21、35日龄仔猪空肠中段组织,采用免疫组化、Western blot和RT-qPCR、HPLC等方法,明确ACE2在仔猪空肠中的分布表达,以及B0AT1及SGLT-1和GLUT-2的mRNA在不同日龄仔猪空肠组织中表达,并通过检测血浆中游离氨基酸的种类和含量,分析各指标之间的关系。结果表明,ACE2主要分布在小肠皱襞和绒毛处,空肠上皮细胞的刷状缘、浆膜层和肌层均有ACE2的显著表达;随着仔猪日龄的增加,ACE2与B0AT1、SGLT-1的mRNA表达量及血液中性氨基酸的含量均随之上升,GLUT-2的mRNA表达量无明显变化。结果提示,仔猪空肠中有ACE2存在,且ACE2与肠道氨基酸等物质的转运有关,这为挖掘ACE2的新功能提供了理论依据。

Abstract: This study was conducted to explore the correlation among the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2), the neutral amino acid transporter B0AT1 and the glucose transporters SGLT-1 and GLUT-2 by studying their distribution and expression in the intestines of piglets of different ages. Weaning piglets were used as the experiment animals. The middle jejunum tissues of piglets at 21 and 35 days of age were collected. The distribution and expression of ACE2 in the jejunum of piglets, and the expression of B0 AT1, SGLT-1 and GLUT-2 mRNA in jejunal tissues of piglets at different days were determined by Immunohistochemistry, Western blot, real-time PCR and HPLC. By detecting the types and content of free amino acids in plasma, the relationship between these indexes was analyzed. The results showed that ACE2 was mainly located in the folds and villi of the small intestine, and was expressed significantly in the brush border, serosal layer and muscle layer of jejunal epithelial cells; As the piglets grew older, the mRNA expressions of ACE2, B0AT1 and SGLT-1 and the content of serum neutral amino acids all increased, while the mRNA expression of GLUT-2 showed no significant change. These results indicated that ACE2 existed in jejunum of piglets, and ACE2 was related to the transport of amino acids and other substances in intestine. This fact provides the basis for the exploration of the unknown new functions of ACE2.
