摘要
[目的]克隆和表达分析乌鳢(Channa argus)的半胱氨酸蛋白酶(Cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase,cas-pase)3基因(caspase-3基因),为探究该基因在乌鳢机体中的免疫应答作用及在其他鱼类免疫上的作用提供理论依据.[方法]根据GenBank公布的乌鳢基因组信息,对乌鳢的caspase-3基因序列进行克隆,对推导的caspase-3基因序列进行生物信息学分析,采用荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)检测caspase-3基因序列在健康乌鳢各组织中的表达分布及在不同刺激物[鰤鱼(Seriola quinqueradiata)诺卡氏菌(Nocardia seriolae)、LPS和PolyI:C]刺激下的时序表达情况.[结果]caspase-3基因序列全长855 bp,编码284个氨基酸残基,蛋白分子质量为31.069 kD,理论等电点为6.17.caspase-3蛋白含有1个CASc结构域.多序列比对结果显示,乌鳢的caspase-3氨基酸序列与秘鲁笛鲷(Lutjanus peru)的caspase-3氨基酸序列相似度最高,达81.7%;系统发育进化树分析结果表明,乌鳢的caspase-3氨基酸序列与秘鲁笛鲷的cas-pase-3氨基酸序列聚为一支.qRT-PCR检测结果表明,乌鳢caspase-3基因在肌肉、皮肤、鳃、心脏、胸腺、脑、头肾、脾脏、肝脏和血液等组织中均有表达,其中在脾脏和头肾的表达量最高;在不同刺激物刺激下,caspase-3基因在乌鳢脾脏、肾脏、血液和肝脏组织中的表达量均发生显著变化(P<0.05);用灭活鰤鱼诺卡氏菌、LPS和PolyI:C孵育乌鳢头肾白细胞后,caspase-3基因表达量均显著升高,且具有明显的时间依赖性.[结论]乌鳢caspase-3基因可能在乌鳢抵御细菌和病毒入侵的免疫反应中发挥着重要作用.
Abstract
[Objective]Cloning and expression analysis of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 gene(caspase-3 gene)of Channa argus were conducted,which provided a theoretical basis for exploring the role of this gene in the im-mune response of C.argus and its role in the immunity of other fishes.[Method]According to the genome information of C.argus published by GenBank,the caspase-3 gene sequence was cloned and the deduced caspase-3 gene sequence bioin-formatics analysis was performed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)to detect the expression distribu-tion of caspase-3 gene in various tissues of healthy C.argus and the temporal expression under different stimuli(Seriola quinqueradiata Nocardia seriolae,LPS and PolyI:C).[Result]The caspase-3 gene sequence was 855 bp and encoded 284 amino acid residues,with a protein molecular mass of 31.069 kD and a theoretical isoelectric point of 6.17.The cas-pase-3 protein contained 1 CASc domain.Multiple sequence alignment showed that the amino acid sequence of caspase-3 of C.argus and the caspase-3 of Lutjanus peru,reaching 81.7%.Phylogenetic analysis showed that caspase-3 of C.argus and caspase-3 of L.peru clustered into a single lineage.The results of qRT-PCR showed that,the caspase-3 gene of C.ar-gus in the tested tissue(muscle,skin,gills,heart,thymus,brain,head kidney,spleen,liver and blood)were ex-pressed.The spleen and head kidney had the highest expression.Upon stimulation with the different stimuli,the expres-sion level of caspase-3 gene in the spleen,head kidney,blood and liver tissues of C.argus all changed significantly(P<0.05);After incubation of head kidney leukocyte with S.quinqueradiata N.seriolae,LPS and PolyI:C,the caspase-3 gene expression was all significantly increased,and it had an obvious time-dependence.[Conclusion]The caspase-3 gene of C.argus may play an important role in the immune response against bacterial and viral invasion.
