摘要:

旨在了解骆驼属在缺水条件下组织环境适应机制。本研究选取6峰6~9岁的成年阿拉善双峰驼,随机分为2组,第一组为对照组(colon1_3),正常采食饲料与水;第二组为禁水组(colon3),不给骆驼饮水,其他处理(饲草量)与对照组相同,禁水24 d。采用Illumina HiSeq 2000测序平台通过对禁水(试验组)与正常饮水(对照组)条件下双峰驼结肠组织进行转录组测序,并对转录组数据进行质控、比对、差异表达、GO和KEGG分析。结果显示,禁水组与对照组比较共获得差异表达基因2 122个,其中上调表达基因813个,下调表达基因1 309个。GO分析结果显示,禁水组下调表达基因最为显著富集的条目有30条,上调表达基因中未得到统计学意义的富集条目。KEGG富集分析显示,禁水组下调表达基因显著富集到剪接体、蛋白外排、内质网蛋白合成过程、RNA转运、核糖体合成、mRNA检测、RNA降解代谢途径;上调表达基因富集到的通路包含局部细胞黏连、溶酶体功能等。上述结果表明,禁水环境下,结肠组织下调表达基因多于上调表达基因,下调表达基因多参与RNA加工和蛋白质合成,这些功能有利于骆驼在缺水环境下,减少RNA的合成,降低结肠组织的代谢速率。

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to understand the mechanism of tissue environmental adaptation in the absence of water in Camelus. In this study, six 6-9 years old adult Alashan Bactrian camels were randomly divided into 2 groups, the first group was the control group (colon1_3), in which the animals were fed with normal feed and water, the second group was the no drinking water group (colon3), in which the animals were in the absence of water for 24 d, other treatment (forage) was the same as the control group. The Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing platform was used to sequence the transcriptome of Bactrian camel colon tissue in the control and no drinking water groups, and the transcriptome data were used to perform quality-controlled, alignment, differentially expressed, GO and KEGG analysis. The results showed that, compared with control group, a total of 2 122 differentially expressed genes were obtained in the no drinking water group, among which 813 genes were up-regulated and 1 309 genes were down-regulated. GO enrichment analysis results showed that 30 terms in the no drinking water group were significantly enriched by down-regulated expression genes. There was no statistically significant enrichment term by the up-regulated expression genes. The KEGG pathway analysis showed that the down-regulated expression genes in no drinking water group were significantly enriched in multiply pathways, including spliceosome, protein export, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, RNA transport, ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes, mRNA detection, RNA degradation metabolic pathways. The up-regulated expression genes in no drinking water group were enriched in focal adhesion, lysosome function, and so on. The results of this study indicate that the number of down-regulated expression genes in colon are more than up-regulated expressed genes in water-deficient environments, and the functions of these down-regulated expression genes are mainly associated with RNA processes and protein synthesis pathways. These genes are favorable for camels to reduce the RNA synthesis and the metabolic rate of colon tissue in water-deficient environments.
