瘤背石磺低频听力基因PMCA2的克隆、相对表达及神经组织原位杂交分析

Cloning, Relative Expression and Analysis of Neural Tissue in situ Hybridization of Low Frequency Hearing Gene PMCA2 in Onchidium reevesii

  • 摘要: 低频听力基因PMCA2在生物听力方面占据着重要位置,基因突变或缺失后会引发神经性耳聋和平衡功能障碍。为探究基因PMCA2在瘤背石磺潮汐感知中的作用,本研究通过RACE技术克隆得到瘤背石磺PMCA2基因的全长cDNA,并进行系统进化分析。利用实时荧光定量PCR (RT-qPCR)技术和原位杂交技术分析两组(暂养无处理组和潮汐干扰刺激组)瘤背石磺PMCA2基因在各组织中相对表达量和在神经组织各神经节中的相对表达部位。实验结果表明,瘤背石磺PMCA2基因cDNA全长5 091 bp,包含492 bp的5'非编码区(UTR)以及972 bp的3'UTR,3 627 bp的开放阅读框,共编码1 208个氨基酸,基因序列较为保守。序列分析结果显示,瘤背石磺与加州海兔、绿色海蜗牛和福寿螺PMCA2氨基酸序列同源性分别为81.79%,78.25%和72.91%。通过系统进化树分析研究得出,瘤背石磺与加州海兔进化关系相对较近。RT-qPCR结果显示,两组石磺神经组织PMCA2基因表达量皆高于其他组织的,且潮汐干扰刺激组神经组织表达量明显高于暂养无处理组,有显著性差异。两组瘤背石磺神经组织原位杂交实验结果显示,相较于暂养无处理组,潮汐干扰刺激组石磺神经组织杂交信号明显增强,该结果与荧光定量PCR结果相符。实验初步表述了瘤背石磺PMCA2基因的生物信息学特征,在瘤背石磺各组织中的表达情况及在神经组织中的分布部位,为研究滩涂生物感知潮汐能力提供原创性成果。

     

    Abstract: Low frequency hearing gene PMCA2 plays an important role in biological hearing, and mutation or deletion of PMCA2 gene may cause neurological deafness and balance dysfunction. In order to explore the role of low-frequency hearing gene PMCA2 of Onchidium reevesii in tidal perception, full-length cDNA of PMCA2 gene in O. reevesii was cloned by RACE technology and phylogenetic analysis was conducted. O. reevesii was divided into two groups: temporary care without treatment group and tidal interference stimulation group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and in situ hybridization were used to analyze the relative expression levels of PMCA2 gene in each tissue and the relative expression sites in each ganglia of nerve tissue in the two groups. The results showed that the full sequence of PMCA2 gene was 5 091 bp and encoded 1 208 amino acids,which contained 492 bp 5’ noncoding region(UTR), 972 bp 3’ UTR and 3 627 bp open reading frame. Sequence analysis showed that the homology of PMCA2 amino acid sequence of O. reevesii with that of Aplysia californica,Elysia chlorotica and Pomacea canaliculata were 81.79%, 78.25% and 72.91%, respectively. The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the phylogenetic relationship between O. reevesii and Aplysia californica was relatively close.RT-qPCR results showed that the expression of PMCA2 gene in nerve tissues of O. reevesii in the two groups was higher than that in other tissues. The expression level of tidal interference stimulation group was significantly higher than that of temporary care without treatment group, with significant difference. The results of in situ hybridization of nerve tissue in the two groups showed that the hybridization signal of nerve tissue in the tidal interference group significantly enhanced compared with that in the temporary care without treatment group, which was consistent with the results of fluorescence quantitative PCR. The bioinformatics characteristics of PMCA2 gene, the expression of PMCA2 gene in various tissues and the distribution of PMCA2 gene in nerve tissues were preliminarily described in the experiment, which provided an original achievement for the study of tidal sensing ability of organisms in tidal area.
