摘要:

【背景】卵泡是卵巢的基本结构和功能单位,其主要功能是排卵和分泌激素。颗粒细胞能促进卵泡发育,其过度凋亡能抑制卵泡发育,诱导卵泡闭锁,进而降低雌性动物发情频率,影响雌性动物繁殖力。现已有研究发现,KISS1在卵巢组织中发挥着重要作用。【目的】研究通过干扰KISS1,以阐释KISS1对猪卵巢颗粒细胞凋亡、周期及分泌雌激素能力的影响,为完善KISS1在猪颗粒细胞中的分子调控机制提供一定的依据。【方法】设计KISS1的干扰片段KISS1-siRNA,转染体外培养的母猪卵巢颗粒细胞,通过实时定量PCR(quantitative real time PCR, qRT-PCR)检测干扰KISS1对母猪卵巢颗粒细胞中磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶(phosphoinositide 3-kinase, PI3K)信号通路部分基因转录水平的影响;采用流式检测法、Annexin V- FITC及ELISA技术,分别探究干扰KISS1对颗粒细胞周期、凋亡及雌二醇(estradiol, E2)分泌量的影响,最后使用qRT-PCR技术检测KISS1对雌激素受体及雌激素信号通路关键基因转录水平的影响。【结果】在猪颗粒细胞内,干扰KISS1后,PI3K通路激活相关基因PIK3CGPI3CIPDK1AKT1转录水平下降,其中关键基因AKT1的转录水平显著降低(P<0.05),PI3K通路激活抑制相关基因FOXO3TSC2BAD转录水平也有所降低;干扰KISS1后,颗粒细胞周期在细胞分裂间期(G0/ G1)阻断,细胞的凋亡率显著上升,细胞中E2的浓度显著降低(P<0.01),雌激素受体ESR1ESR2及雌激素通路的基因StarCYP173B-HSD17B-HSDCYP19A转录水平也相应显著下降(P<0.05)。【结论】KISS1能够参与猪颗粒细胞PI3K和雌激素通路,干扰KISS1能够使卵巢颗粒细胞阻滞在细胞分裂间期,促进颗粒细胞凋亡,降低颗粒细胞分泌雌激素的能力,表明KISS1对于卵巢颗粒细胞的分裂与生长、雌激素分泌具有重要作用。

Abstract:

【Background】 As the basic structural and functional unit of ovary, the main functions of follicles are ovulation and hormone secretion. Granulosa cells proliferation can promote the development of follicles, while the excessive apoptosis of granulosa cells will inhibit the development of follicles, induce follicular atresia, reduce the estrus frequency and affect the reproductive capacity of female animals. Recent studies have found that the KISS1 plays an important role in ovary. 【Objective】 This study was aimed to explore the effects of KISS1 on apoptosis, cell cycle and estrogen secretion of porcine granulosa cells, through interfering the expression of KISS1, so as to provide some useful information in molecular regulation mechanism of KISS1 on porcine granulosa cells. 【Method】 To investigate the effect of knockdown KISS1 on the transcription of key genes on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway in porcine granulosa cells, KISS1-siRNA were designed and transfected to porcine granulosa cells in vitro, and then quantitative real time PCR (qRT PCR) was applied to detect the transcription of KISS1. Then, flow cytometry, Annexin V-FITC, and ELISA were utilized to explore the effects of KISS1-siRNA on granulosa cell cycle, apoptosis, and secretion of E2, respectively. Finally, qRT-PCR was applied to explore the effects of KISS1-siRNA on estrogen receptor and estrogen signaling pathway. 【Result】 In porcine granulosa cells, interfering KISS1 gene could significantly decrease the transcription of AKT1(P<0.05), while PIK3CG, PI3CI and PDK1 decreased with no significant difference (P>0.05). The mRNA levels of the genes, involving in activation of PI3K signaling pathway like FOXO3, TSC2, and BAD, were also decreased with no significant difference (P>0.05). Transfecting KISS1-siRNA to porcine granulosa cells could significantly promote cell apoptosis (P<0.01), arrest cell cycle at G0/G1 phase (P<0.01), and decrease the E2 secretion (P<0.01). After knockdown KISS1, the transcription of estrogen receptor ESR1 and ESR2, as well as Star, CYP17, 3B-HSD, 17B-HSD and CYP19A of estrogen pathway were also decreased significantly (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 This study confirmed that KISS1 gene could participate in PI3K and estrogen signaling pathways. Interfering KISS1 could promote porcine granulosa cells apoptosis, arrest cell cycle at G0/G1 phase (P<0.01), and decrease the E2 secretion. It suggested that KISS1 played an important role in the division, growth and estrogen secretion of porcine granulosa cells.
