关岭牛MSTN基因3'-UTR与bta-miR-27b的靶向验证

Targeted verification of the relationship between Guanling cattle MSTN gene 3'-UTR and bta-miR-27b

  • 摘要: 【目的】明确关岭牛bta-miR-27b与肌肉生长抑制素基因(MSTN)的结合位点及靶向调控关系,为通过调控miRNA改良关岭牛产肉量提供理论依据,也为贵州地方黄牛分子遗传改良工作提供新的切入点。【方法】通过TargetScan预测牛MSTN基因3'端非翻译区(3'-UTR)的潜在miRNA结合区域及互作miRNA,对比关岭牛与不同关岭牛杂交品种的生理表型及MSTN基因和3'-UTR端miRNA表达差异,并分析bta-miR-27b在不同关岭牛杂交群体中的靶位点特异性。将MSTN基因3'-UTR序列野生型(WT)和3'-UTR序列突变型(MUT)分别克隆至pMIR-REPORT Luciferase (H306)载体构建重组双荧光素酶报告基因载体,与bta-miR-27b共转染293T细胞以验证bta-miR-27b与MSTN基因的作用关系,并利用实时荧光定量PCR验证bta-miR-27b对MSTN基因表达的影响。【结果】在牛MSTN基因3'-UTR端发现7个miRNA结合位点;关岭牛各系杂交品种的3个miRNA (bta-miR-27a-3p、bta-miR-27b和bta-miR-128)相对表达量均极显著高于关岭牛(P<0.01,下同),MSTN基因相对表达量极显著低于关岭牛,体质量、体高、体斜长、胸围等生长指标却明显优于关岭牛。关岭牛及其杂交牛MSTN基因3'-UTR端的bta-miR-27b结合区域均无突变、无缺失; MSTN-3'-UTR(WT)与bta-miR-27bmimics共转染293T细胞后其相对荧光值下降53.80%,极显著低于MSTN-3'-UTR(MUT)+bta-miR-27bmimics共转染;转染bta-miR-27b mimics后,bta-miR-27b在关岭牛原代成肌细胞株(N2)中成功超表达,而MSTN基因相对表达量呈极显著下调趋势,表明bta-miR-27b能抑制MSTN基因表达。【结论】bta-miR-27b与MSTN基因的结合区域位于3'-UTR端第62~69位碱基处,且靶位点保守性较高。bta-miR-27b对MSTN基因有很强的靶向调控作用,表现为bta-miR-27b能抑制MSTN基因表达。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】This paper clarified the relationship between the binding site and targeted regulation between bta-miR-27b and myostatin gene(MSTN)in Guanling cattle, to provide a theoretical basis for improving the meat production of Guanling cattle by regulating miRNA, and a new entry point to molecular genetic improvement of local cattles in Guizhou.【Method】The experiment used TargetScan to predict the possible miRNA binding region and potential interaction miRNA at the 3'-UTR of the bovine MSTN gene, and compared the physiological phenotype, expression differences of MSTN gene and its 3'-UTR end miRNA between Guanling cattle and different Guanling cattle hybrids, and then selected bta-miR-27b to analyze its target site specificity in different Guanling cattle hybrid populations. After that, the MSTN gene 3'-UTR sequence wild type(WT)and the 3'-UTR sequence mutant type(MUT)were cloned into a pMIR-REPORT Luciferase(H306)vector to form a dual-luciferase reporter gene vector,which co-transfected with bta-miR-27b in 293T cells to verify the relationship between bta-miR-27b and MSTN gene expression. And the effects of bta-miR-27b on MSTN gene expression were confirmed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.【Result】Results showed that seven potential miRNA binding sites were found at the 3'-UTR end of MSTN gene. The relative expression levels of miRNAs(bta-miR-27a-3p, bta-miR-27b and bta-miR-128)of Guanling cattle hybrid breeds were extremely significantly higher than that of Guanling cattle(P<0.01,the same below),and the relative expression level of MSTN gene was extremely significantly lower than that of Guanling cattle. But their body weight,body height,body diagonal length,chest circumference and other growth indicators were greatly better than that of Guanling cattle. There were no mutations or losses in the bta-miR-27b binding region at 3'-UTR end of MSTN gene in Guanling cattle and its hybrid cattle. The fluorescence value of 293T cells co-transfected with MSTN-3'-UTR(WT)and bta-miR-27b mimics decreased by 53.80%,which was extremely significantly lower than that of MSTN-3'-UTR(MUT)+bta-miR-27b mimics co-transfection. After transfection with bta-miR-27b mimics, bta-miR-27b was successfully overexpressed in Guanling cattle primary myoblast cell line(N2),while the relative expression of MSTN gene showed extremely significant downward trend,indicating that bta-miR-27b could inhibit MSTN gene expression.【Conclusion】The binding region of bta-miR-27b and MSTN gene is located at the 62-69 base of 3'-UTR, and the target site is highly conserved. Bta-miR-27b has a strong target regulation effect on MSTN gene,indicating by bta-miR-27b can inhibit MSTN gene expression.
