  • 摘要: 【目的】 综合分析水牛睾丸生精细胞蛋白质组学及其磷酸化修饰组学,探究水牛精子发生过程中蛋白的动态表达变化及其调控机制,为解析水牛精子发生的分子机制提供理论依据。【方法】 从性成熟期水牛睾丸组织中分离生精细胞,采用液相色谱—质谱联用技术(LC-MS/MS)构建水牛生精细胞蛋白质组和磷酸化蛋白质组表达谱。利用生物信息学软件对数据进行联合分析,筛选出关键蛋白及其磷酸化修饰位点。构建蛋白互作网络(PPI)和激酶—底物互作网络。采用Western blotting检测和免疫组织化学分析验证筛选出的关键蛋白。【结果】 蛋白质组和磷酸化蛋白质组中分别鉴定出1785和129个蛋白,共同鉴定到78个蛋白质。蛋白质组中的高丰度蛋白包括热休克蛋白和微管蛋白等。GO功能注释和KEGG信号通路富集分析结果表明,RNA剪接在蛋白质组和磷酸化蛋白质组中均被显著富集(P<0.05),剪接体是磷酸化蛋白富集最多的信号通路。蛋白质组结构域富集分析结果表明,RNA识别基序结构域的富集程度最高。细胞周期依赖性蛋白激酶在蛋白质组PPI和磷酸化蛋白质组激酶—底物互作网络中均发挥关键作用。蛋白质组和磷酸化蛋白质组共同鉴定到的78个蛋白中,有17个蛋白与精子发生密切相关。Western blotting检测和免疫组织化学分析结果表明,LMNA蛋白及其磷酸化形式LMNA(pS392)均能被成功鉴定,LMNA主要分布于曲细精管基底膜附近,而LMNA(pS392)主要分布于曲细精管管腔附近。【结论】 水牛睾丸生精细胞高表达热休克蛋白可能与水牛适应湿热气候有关,高表达微管蛋白可能与生精细胞在曲细精管内的迁移密切相关。RNA剪接和磷酸化修饰可能通过影响蛋白的功能和分布来调控精子的发生过程。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】 To comprehensively analyze the proteomics and immunohistochemistry-based phosphoproteomics of buffalo testicular spermatogenic cells, and explore the dynamic expression changes of proteins and their regulatory mechanisms during buffalo spermatogenesis, which could provide theoretical basis for analyzing the molecular mechanism of buffalo spermatogenesis. 【Method】 Spermatogenic cells were isolated from testicular tissue of sexually mature buffaloes, and the proteome and phosphorylation proteome expression profiles of buffalo spermatogenic cells were constructed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS). The data were jointly analyzed by bioinformatics softwares to screen out key proteins and their phosphorylation modification sites. Protein interaction networks(PPI) and kinase-substrate interaction networks were constructed. Western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis were used to verify the screened key proteins.【Result】A total of 1785 and 129 proteins were identified in the proteome and phosphoproteome respectively, and 78 shared proteins were identified. High-abundance proteins in the proteome included heat shock proteins and tubulin. GO functional annotation and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis results showed that RNA splicing was significantly enriched in both the proteome and the phosphoproteome(P<0.05), and the spliceosome was the signaling pathway with the most phosphorylated proteins enriched. The results of proteomic domain enrichment analysis showed that the RNA recognition motif domain was the most enriched. Cell cycle-dependent protein kinases played a key role in both proteome PPI and kinase-substrate interaction network in phosphoproteome. Among the 78shared proteins identified in the proteome and phosphoproteome, 17 proteins were closely related to spermatogenesis.Western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis showed that both LMNA protein and the phosphorylated form LMNA(pS392) could be successfully identified. LMNA was mainly distributed near the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubules, while LMNA(pS392) was mainly distributed near the lumen of the seminiferous tubules.【Conclusion】 The high expression of heat shock proteins in buffalo testicular spermatogenic cells may be related to the adaptation of buffalo to hot and humid climate, and the high expression of tubulin may be closely related to the migration of spermatogenic cells in seminiferous tubules. RNA splicing and phosphorylation modifications may regulate spermatogenesis by affecting protein function and distribution.
