摘要: 旨在基于鸡胚外泌体及所含有的miRNAs解析其产生生理功效的活性物质基础及作用机制。本研究收集13胚龄惠阳胡须鸡胚蛋18枚(3组,每组6枚),采用酶消化、蔗糖密度梯度和差速超速离心等方法分离鸡胚组织来源的外泌体,经透射电镜、纳米流式和标志蛋白流式检测等方法鉴定其特征。利用高通量测序方法研究外泌体样本中miRNAs表达谱,对各样本top 10且共表达的miRNAs进行靶基因预测与功能分析。结果表明,分别获得了3个浮力密度范围(S1:1.13 g·mL-1、S2:1.21 g·mL-1和S3:1.32 g·mL-1)具有外泌体典型特征的胞外囊泡;与miRBase V21进行比对发现,S1、S2和S3样品中分别含有675、661和845个已知的miRNAs,这些miRNAs中有488个(52.6%)三者共有,包括了广泛参与细胞增殖、分化和免疫应答等过程的功能性miRNAs。TargetScan 7.2和miRDB预测得到3个样本中top 10且共表达的56个miRNAs的靶基因,获得的3 650个靶基因经DAVID分析,显著富集了24个与机体生长、发育、免疫等有关的生物学通路(P<0.05),包括MAPK信号通路、mTOR信号通路、Notch信号通路、Wnt信号通路和GnRH信号通路等。本研究建立了鸡胚组织中有效分离外泌体的方法,发现鸡胚组织来源的外泌体miRNAs会影响机体生长发育和免疫调节有关的生物学通路。

Abstract: This study was conducted to elucidate the physiological basis of active substances and their mechanism of chicken embryos based on exosomes and their miRNAs. Eighteen Huiyang Beard chicken embryos with 13 embryo age were selected (3 groups, 6 eggs per group), and embryos-derived exosomes were isolated by enzymatic digestion, sucrose cushion gradient and differential ultracentrifugation, and their characteristics were identified by transmission electron microscopy, nanoflow and labeled protein flow detection. High-throughput sequencing was used to study the expression profile of miRNAs in exosome samples, and target genes prediction and functional analysis were performed for top 10 and co-expressed miRNAs. The results showed that extracellular vesicles with typical characteristics of exosomes were obtained from 3 buoyant density ranges (S1:1.13 g·mL-1, S2:1.21 g·mL-1 and S3:1.32 g·mL-1), respectively. A total of 675, 661 and 845 known chicken miRNAs of S1, S2 and S3 samples were detected via alignment to miRBase V21, in which 488 (52.6%) miRNAs were co-expressed in the 3 samples. These co-expressed miRNAs might participate in the cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune response, etc. Based on both TargetScan 7.2 and miRDB systems, a total of 3 650 genes could be targeted the 56 miRNAs which were top 10 and co-expressed in the 3 samples. In addition, the 3 650 target genes were analyzed by DAVID, it was found that 24 pathways related to growth, development and immunity were significantly enriched by these genes (P<0.05), which including MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, Notch signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway and GnRH signaling pathway, etc. In this study, an effective method to isolate exosomes from chicken embryo tissue was established, and chicken embryos-derived exosome miRNAs could affect biological pathways related to growth, development and immune regulation.
