摘要:

旨在探究PFN1通过与PTEN互作对牛骨骼肌卫星细胞(bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells, BSMSCs)成肌分化的影响。本试验将小片段干扰RNA(si-RNA)与过表达质粒分别转染到胎牛腿肌剥离的原代骨骼肌卫星细胞中,每个处理设计3个生物学重复。利用光学显微镜观察经过不同处理细胞分化的情况,在分化期的特定时间点收取细胞RNA与蛋白样品,分别利用实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)以及蛋白免疫印迹(Western blot)进行分析。试验结果显示:通过光学显微镜观察发现,干扰PFN1后牛骨骼肌卫星细胞可以形成更多粗大的肌管;qRT-PCR和Western blot证实,细胞分化标志基因MyHC表达量显著增加;而过表达PFN1后牛骨骼肌卫星细胞形成的肌管较细、量少;qRT-PCR和Western blot证实,MyHC表达量显著降低。通过Co-IP试验证实PFN1可以与PTEN互作,过表达PFN1可显著提升PTEN蛋白水平。在光学显微镜下观察发现,干扰PTEN后牛骨骼肌卫星细胞形成的肌管很少;qRT-PCR和Western blot试验证实,MyHCMyOG在mRNA水平表达量显著增加,MyHC在蛋白水平显著降低;PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路关键蛋白表达量显著下调但通路最终关键作用蛋白p-mTOR显著增加。干扰PFN1后PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路关键蛋白表达量都显著增加。过表达PFN1后PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路关键蛋白显著下调。PFN1通过与PTEN互作抑制PI3K/AKT/mTOR通路活性,进而负调控BSMSCs成肌分化。本研究为肌肉发育的分子调控网络提供了新见解。

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the effect of PFN1 on the myogenic differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells (BSMSCs) through its interaction with PTEN. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and overexpression plasmids were transfected into primary bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells isolated from fetal bovine leg muscles, with 3 biological replicates for each treatment. The differentiation process of the cells was observed under an optical microscope. RNA and protein samples were collected at specific time points during the differentiation phase for analysis by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. PFN1 knockdown promoted the formation of more robust myotubes, with significantly increased MyHC mRNA and protein levels. Conversely, PFN1 overexpression reduced myotube formation (thinner and fewer) and significantly decreased MyHC expression. Co-IP confirmed the interaction between PFN1 and PTEN, and PFN1 overexpression increased PTEN protein levels. Under optical microscope observation, PTEN knockdown resulted in fewer myotubes, with elevated MyHC and MyOG mRNA levels but reduced MyHC protein levels. Key proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were downregulated, while p-mTOR levels increased. PFN1 knockdown upregulated key proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, whereas PFN1 overexpression downregulated them. PFN1 interacts with PTEN to inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, thereby negatively regulating BSMSCs myogenic differentiation. This study provides new insights into the molecular regulatory network of muscle development.
