摘要:

旨在通过对布莱凯特黑牛大小睾丸转录组数据进行分析,挖掘影响睾丸生殖功能的关键候选基因,探究睾丸大小对牛生殖功能维持的分子机制。采集12月龄布莱凯特黑牛睾丸,根据质量、长径和短径将其分为2组(大小睾丸组各3头)进行高通量转录组测序;以|log2(Fold Change)|≥1且P-value≤0.01为阈值筛选差异基因,对差异基因进行GO和KEGG功能富集分析,筛选出影响睾丸生殖功能的关键基因;对其进行CDS区克隆测序,并运用qRT-PCR、Western Blot、免疫组化等方法进行进一步研究。结果显示,差异表达基因共353个,其中114个基因在小睾丸中表达上调,239个基因表达下调。GO功能注释表明,差异基因参与代谢、发育、生殖等过程;KEGG富集分析显示,差异基因主要富集在Wnt信号传导、PI3K-Akt信号通路等与睾丸生殖功能相关的途径。最终筛选出睾丸生殖功能基因CCN4进行进一步研究。qRT-PCR和Western Blot结果显示,CCN4基因和蛋白在大睾丸中表达量显著低于小睾丸。免疫组化结果显示,CCN4蛋白主要在精细胞外的区域(特别是支持细胞)中表达,且大睾丸中的相对表达量显著低于小睾丸,推测其高表达会抑制支持细胞发育,从而影响睾丸生殖功能。综上,研究结果可为深入开展牛睾丸大小对生殖功能影响的分子机制研究提供基础资料。

Abstract:

The aim of this experiment was to analyze the transcriptome data of testicle in different size of Shandong black cattle,and discover the key candidate genes affecting the reproductive function of testicles,in order to explore the molecular mechanism of maintaining the reproductive function in cattle testicle.Six bulls were divided into two groups according to different size testicle for transcriptome sequencing.The differential expression multiplier values |log2(Fold Change)|≥1 and P-value≤0.01 were used as the conditions for selecting the differential expression genes (DEGs),and GO and KEGG analysis were performed to select the candidate gene of reproductive function of testicle.The CDS region of cattle candidate gene was cloned,and qRT-PCR,Western Blot,IHC were used for further confirmation.A total of 353 DEGs were obtained from the sequencing results,including 114 up-regulated genes and 239 down-regulated genes in small testicle.The results of GO functional annotation found that the items related to metabolism,development,reproduction and other processes.The results of KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in Wnt signal transduction,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway about reproductive function of testicle,further screening for CCN4 related to testicle reproductive function as candidate gene to validate.The qRT-PCR and Western Blot results showed that the relative expression of CCN4 gene and protein in big testicles was significantly lower than that in small testicle.The IHC results showed that CCN4 protein was mainly positive in the areas outside spermatids (especially sertoli cells) and the relative expression in big testicle was significantly lower than that in small testicle.It is speculated that the CCN4 gene may inhibit sertoli cells to affect cattle testicle function.This study provides a basic data for further study of reproductive function testicle in different size of cattle.
