Abstract:

The study aimed to verify the functional role of bovine INTS11 gene in myogenic cells, explore the sequence of the CDS region of INTS11 and the characteristics of its encoded protein by bioinformatics analysis, and verify its role in the proliferation process of bovine myogenic cells using different molecular test techniques. The bovine INTS11 gene sequence was compared with other species. This involved the construction of a phylogenetic tree and the examination of the physicochemical properties, functional structure, and subcellular localization of the encoded protein. The test material comprised 3-month-old healthy fetal bovine myoblasts isolated and cultured in vitro. The sequences of the coding sequence (CDS) region of INTS11 in myoblasts were cloned. An overexpression vector of INTS11 was constructed, and interfering sequences of the gene were designed. This was done in order to investigate its effect on the proliferation of myoblasts by CCK8, Edu, RT-qPCR and other techniques. Bioinformatic analysis showed that INTS11 had a CDS region of 1 800 bp, two functional domains (MBL-foldmetallo-hydro and β-CASP motif), which belonged to the non-transmembrane proteins and the cellular localization was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm. Transfection of pcDNA3.1-INTS11 plasmid showed that the proliferation rate of myoblasts in the test group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group at 72-96 h (P<0.05); Edu assay revealed a significant increase in the number of positive cells (P<0.05); and the RT-qPCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of proliferation marker factors CDK2 and CYCLIND1 were significantly increased (P<0.05) compared with that in the control group. After transferring the interference sequence, the cell proliferation rate was significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the mRNA expression levels of proliferation marker factors CDK2 and CYCLIND1 were significantly decreased (P<0.05) compared with the control group. In this study, the conservation of INTS11 was predicted in the domesticated animals, and that INTS11 protein has two functional structural domains, and it promotes the proliferation of bovine myoblasts by mediating the transcription of CDK2 and CYCLIND1. This research has perfected the gene network regulating skeletal muscle growth, provided theoretical support for further exploration of the regulating mechanisms of skeletal muscle growth in the post-sequence.
