合浦珠母贝胸腺素β4 (thymosin beta4)插核损伤和发育时期的表达研究

Surgical injury and developmental stage expression of thymosin β4 gene in pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata)

  • 摘要: 胸腺素β4 (thymosin β4)具有抗菌、抑制炎症和促进伤口愈合等作用。该研究克隆了合浦珠母贝(Pinctada fucata)胸腺素β4 (Pfthymosin β4)的基因序列。该基因长261 bp,其中开放阅读框(open reading frame, ORF) 126 bp,编码42个氨基酸。生物信息学分析发现,胸腺素β4的蛋白理论分子量为4.78 ku;具有典型的“THY”特征模体和胸腺素β家族的特征序列;氨基酸序列保守性很高,与其他物种相似性达90%以上。荧光定量PCR结果表明,Pfthymosin β4在各组织中均有表达,其中在血细胞中表达量最高,其次是足与鳃。插核手术后取血细胞和伤口组织,Pfthymosin β4在血细胞和伤口组织的表达量显著升高,第6小时达到最高,推测表达量升高的原因是Pfthymosin β4促进血细胞向伤口处移动来参与合浦珠母贝伤口的前期修复。在各个发育时期中Pfthymosin β4均有表达,在变态期的表达量突然升高,推测其可能参与了合浦珠母贝的变态附着过程。

     

    Abstract: Thymosin β4 has antibacterial properties and inflammation inhibition function which can promote wound healing. This study cloned the gene sequence of Pfthymosin β4 from Pinctada fucata. The total length of the gene was 261 bp, with 126 bp open reading frame encoding 42 amino acids. Bioinformatics analysis reveals that the theoretical molecular weight of Pfthymosin β4 was 4.78 ku, which had typical “THY” motif and thymosin beta family signature sequences. It was highly conserved and had more than 90% similarity to other species. The results of qPCR show that Pfthymosin β4 was expressed in all tissues with the highest expression in hemolymph, followed by foot and gills. Hemolymphs and wound tissues were collected after the mantle-transplantation. The expression of Pfthymosin β4 in hemolymphs and wound tissues increased significantly and reached the maximum at 6th hour, which might be the reason that it promotes hemolymphs to move to the wound to participate in the wound pre-repair. The expression level of Pfthymosin β4, which elevated at metamorphosis stage, was detected at each developmental stage of P.fucata. Therefore, it is speculated that Pfthymosin β4 might be involved in metamorphosis of P.fucata.
