摘要:

【目的】 骨骼肌是动物机体的重要组成成分,其生长发育直接影响畜禽肉产量,叉头转录因子O1(forkhead box protein O1, FoxO1)作为重要的转录调控因子,其与骨骼肌生长发育密切相关。探究过表达FoxO1对牛骨骼肌细胞增殖、凋亡与分化的作用,为肉牛遗传改良提供基础材料。【方法】 采集牛的多个组织样品,提取其RNA并反转录,利用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)构建FoxO1组织表达谱。利用酶消化法分离得到牛骨骼肌细胞,通过观察其分化后肌管的形成以及qPCR检测其分化标志基因的表达情况来检验所分离细胞的分化性能。利用免疫荧光技术对牛骨骼肌细胞进行FoxO1亚细胞定位。设计并包装牛FoxO1过表达腺病毒,以提高牛骨骼肌细胞内FoxO1的表达。利用EdU染色检测过表达FoxO1对细胞相对增殖率的影响。利用流式细胞术检测过表达FoxO1对细胞周期分布的影响。利用qPCR检测过表达FoxO1对牛骨骼肌细胞增殖、凋亡和分化相关基因表达水平的影响。【结果】 组织表达谱结果显示FoxO1在多个组织中均有表达,其在成年牛的背脂中表达量最高,在背最长肌组织中表达量最低,且FoxO1在犊牛背最长肌组织中的表达量要极显著高于成年牛的(P<0.01)。亚细胞定位结果显示FoxO1在牛骨骼肌细胞的细胞核和细胞质内均有表达,其细胞核内荧光强度高于细胞质。成功构建FoxO1过表达载体,并完成FoxO1重组过表达腺病毒的包装与扩繁,在感染牛骨骼肌细胞后,能显著提高FoxO1表达水平(P<0.01)。EdU检测显示过表达FoxO1会显著降低细胞增殖率(P<0.01),流式细胞周期检测显示过表达FoxO1会显著增加G1期细胞数并减少S期和G2期细胞数,抑制细胞G1/ S期的转化,并减少G2期细胞的形成。利用qPCR进一步检测发现,增殖相关基因PCNACDK1CDK2CCNA2CCNB1CCND1CCNE2均极显著下调(P<0.01),促凋亡相关基因BADBAX显著上调以及抑凋亡基因BCL2显著下调(P<0.05)。过表达FoxO1导致牛骨骼肌细胞肌管形成量减少,qPCR检测结果发现,骨骼肌分化相关基因MYODMYOGMYF5MYF6MYHC的表达量显著下调(P<0.05)。【结论】 FoxO1在牛的不同组织中均有表达,是一个广泛存在的转录调控因子,并且在背最长肌组织生长发育不同阶段存在表达差异,起到阶段调控作用。FoxO1在细胞核和细胞质中均发挥重要的转录调控作用,特别是在细胞核内。过表达FoxO1可能通过抑制细胞增殖相关基因和肌细胞分化相关基因的表达,从而抑制牛骨骼肌细胞的增殖与分化,并且可能通过上调促凋亡基因的表达和下调抑凋亡基因的表达来促使牛骨骼肌细胞凋亡的发生。

Abstract:

【Objective】 Skeletal muscle is an important component of animal body, and its growth and development directly affect the meat yield of livestock and poultry. As an important transcription regulator, fork head box protein O1 (FoxO1) is closely related to the growth and development of skeletal muscle. Exploring the effects of overexpression of FoxO1 gene on the proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle cells could provide the theoretical basis for genetic improvement of beef. 【Method】 The tissue expression profile of FoxO1 was constructed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR). To test the cell differentiation performance of bovine skeletal muscle cells which were isolated by enzyme digestion, the myotubes formation was observed and the expressions of differentiation marker genes were detected by qPCR. The subcellular localization of bovine skeletal muscle cells was carried out by immunofluorescence technique. In order to improve the expression of FoxO1 in bovine skeletal muscle cells, bovine FoxO1 overexpression adenovirus were designed and packaged. The effect of FoxO1 overexpression on the relative proliferation rate of cells was detected by EdU staining. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of FoxO1 overexpression on cell cycle distribution. The effects of FoxO1 overexpression on the expression levels of genes related to proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle cells were investigated by qPCR.【Result】 The results of tissue expression spectrum showed that FoxO1 was expressed in many tissues, with the highest expression in the back fat of adult cattle and the lowest expression in the longissimus dorsi muscle tissue, while the expression of FoxO1 in the longissimus dorsi muscle tissue of calves was significantly higher than that of adult cattle (P<0.01). The results of subcellular localization showed that FoxO1 was expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of bovine skeletal muscle cells, and the fluorescence intensity in the nucleus was higher than that in the cytoplasm. The FoxO1 overexpression vector was successfully constructed, and the packaging and propagation of FoxO1 recombinant adenovirus were completed. After infecting bovine skeletal muscle cells, the FoxO1 expression level was significantly improved (P<0.01). EdU detection showed that overexpression of FoxO1 significantly reduced the cell proliferation rate (P<0.01), and flow cytometry showed that overexpression of FoxO1 significantly increased the number of cells in G1 phase and decreased the number of cells in S phase and G2 phase, inhibited the transformation of cells in G1/S phase and reduced the formation of cells in G2 phase. Further detection by qPCR found that the proliferation-related genes of PCNA, CDK1, CDK2, CCNA2, CCNB1, CCND1 and CCNE2 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.01), the apoptosis-related genes BAD and BAX were significantly up-regulated, and the apoptosis-inhibiting gene BCL2 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). After FoxO1 was overexpressed, the myotube formation of bovine skeletal muscle cells decreased, and the expression levels of MYOD, MYOG, MYF5, MYF6 and MYHC related to skeletal muscle differentiation were significantly decreased by qPCR detection (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 FoxO1 was expressed in different tissues of cattle, and it was a ubiquitous transcription regulator. There were differences in expression at different stages of the growth and development of longissimus dorsi muscle, which played a role in stage regulation. FoxO1 played a transcriptional regulatory role in both the nucleus and cytoplasm, especially in the nucleus. Overexpression of FoxO1 might inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle cells by inhibiting the expression of genes related to cell proliferation and muscle cell differentiation, and might promote the apoptosis of bovine skeletal muscle cells by up-regulating the expression of apoptosis-promoting genes and down-regulating the expression of apoptosis- inhibiting genes.
