Abstract:

This aim of study was to explore the role of ORFV118 in regulating cell cycle,apoptosis and the immune-related cytokines(IL-1β,IL-6,IFN-γ and TNF-α)in goat testicular sertoli cells.We cloned the whole sequence of ORFV118 and constructed an expression vector of pEGFP-ORFV118.The expression of ORFV118 protein was then identified by using Western Blot method after the transfection of goat testicular sertoli cells with pEGFP-ORFV118.Following which,a flow cytometer equipment was used to measure the effect of ORFV118 expression on cell cycle and apoptosis of goat testicular sertoli cells,and also on regulating the expression of genes related to cell cycle,including CDK2 and P21,and genes relative to apottosis,including Bax,Bcl-2,Caspase3,Caspase7,P53 and BCL2L11.The expression of immune-related cytokines,including IL-1β,IL-6,IFN-γ and TNF-α,was detected by ELISA method and RT-qPCR after ORFV118 expression in goat testicular sertoli cells.The results showed that a total length of 309 bp ORFV118 gene sequence was cloned successfully.The cell's DNA synthesis phase(S phase)was inhibited and the late stage DNA synthesis(G2/M phase)was promoted by the expression of ORFV118,and the expression of CDK2 mRNA was decreased.The cell apoptosis blocked after ORFV118 expression,and the expression of Caspase3,Caspase7 and SOCS2 mRNA decreased.The immune-related cytokines,including IL-1β and IFN-γ,was inhibited in goat testis cells,while the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α were promoted.
