摘要:

旨在克隆羊驼TGF-β1基因,了解TGF-β1序列特征及其在不同组织中的表达特征,寻找TGF-β1基因的mRNA表达量与毛色之间的相关性,为研究TGF-β1基因的生物学功能提供基础。以羊驼为材料,利用3′和5′RACE技术克隆羊驼TGF-β1基因,利用DNAman、PROSITE和megAlign软件分别分析序列特征和相似性,应用荧光定量PCR (qRT-PCR)分析TGF-β1基因在不同被毛颜色羊驼皮肤组织中的表达及TGF-β1在山羊不同组织中的表达特异性。结果表明,羊驼TGF-β1 cDNA克隆全长为1 364 bp(GenBank登录号:KF887499),ORF长1 173 bp,编码390个氨基酸。氨基酸序列分析显示,羊驼TGF-β1具有其家族的典型结构特征,与其他哺乳动物相似性很高,与野猪的亲缘关系最近。羊驼TGF-β1 基因在棕色羊驼皮肤组织中的表达量是白色羊驼皮肤组织的3.5倍。组织特异性分析表明,TGF-β1在山羊不同组织中均有表达,且在淋巴组织中表达量相对最高。羊驼TGF-β1 全长cDNA的克隆和不同组织器官TGF-β1基因表达分析显示,TGF-β1与羊驼毛色形成密切相关。本研究为深入探讨TGF-β1参与动物毛色形成及调控的分子机制奠定了基础。

Abstract:

In order to explore the biological functions of TGF-β1 in coat color formation in alpaca,the experiment was conducted to clone alpaca TGF-β1 gene,investigate the expression of TGF-β1 in different tissues/organs,and examine the relationship between the TGF-β1 expression and alpaca coat color.The TGF-β1 cDNA was cloned from alpaca by 3′ and 5′ RACE.The sequence analysis was performed by DNAman,PROSITE and megAlign.The expression levels of TGF-β1 gene in different organs/tissues were analyzed by qRT-PCR.The full length of TGF-β1 cDNA in alpaca was 1 364 bp (GenBank Accession No.KF887499) with 1 173 bp ORF coding 390 amino acids.Sequence analysis showed alpaca TGF-β1 has typical structures of TGF-β1 family,showing high similarity with responsed proteins from other mammals.Phylogenetic analysis showed that alpaca TGF-β1 gene is much closed to wild boar(Sus scrofa).qRT-PCR showed that the relative gene expression level of TGF-β1 in brown alpaca was 3.5 times than that in white alpaca.TGF-β1 gene was expressed widely in tested tissues in goat while the expression levels were different in those tissues and highest in lymphoid tissue.Cloning and sequence characterization of alpaca TGF-β1 gene plus the expression analysis in different tisssues/organs indicate that TGF-β1 may play important role in alpaca coat color formation,provide the related DNA elements and experimental basic for further investigating on the molecular mechanism of TGF-β1 functions in animal coat color formation and regulation.
