摘要: 【目的】探索热休克蛋白70-2(heat shock 70kD protein-2, HSPA2)在牦牛不同组织器官中的表达差异。【方法】选取 3 头 1 岁龄的健康青海高原雄性牦牛为研究对象,在正常生理条件下,于 2013 年 9 月中旬采集不同组织器官(心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肺脏、肾脏、脑和睾丸)样本。(1)从牦牛不同组织器官中提取 RNA,将 RNA 反转录成第一链 cDNA,参照牦牛 HSPA2 和β-actin 基因序列(登录号为 KC790105.1和 DQ838049.1)设计特异性引物,首先采用 RT-PCR 来验证实时荧光定量 PCR(RT-qPCR)是否能应用于牦牛不同组织器官中 HSPA2表达差异的测定;然后采用 RT-qPCR 测定牦牛不同组织器官中 HSPA2相对表达量的差异。(2)将牦牛不同组织器官样本 4%多聚甲醛固定,制成石蜡切片,免疫组织化学法测定 HSPA2 在不同组织器官中的分布。采用 Image-Pro Plus 6.0 软件进行免疫组化图像分析,测定 HSPA2 阳性反应物的积分光密度,进行吸光度分析;通过 SPSS 19.0 统计软件,用单因素方差分析进行差异显著性测定。【结果】(1) RT-PCR 结果表明 RT-qPCR 法可用于牦牛不同组织器官中 HSPA2表达差异的测定。实时荧光定量 PCR 结果表明,HSPA2在睾丸中的相对表达量,分别是在脑、肾脏、心脏、脾脏、肺脏和肝脏中的 83.33、97.09、111.11、133.33、222.22和 285.71倍。(2)免疫组织化学结果显示,牦牛睾丸、肾脏、脑、心脏、肺脏、肝脏和脾脏中均有 HSPA2 的阳性表达。其中,在牦牛肾脏皮质肾小管、髓质肾小管,大脑皮质海马CA1区、小脑皮质,心肌细胞,肺泡上皮细胞,肝细胞,脾脏边缘区和红髓中有 HSPA2 阳性反应,着色深浅不等,大部分阳性反应位于细胞质,细胞核阳性反应极少;而在睾丸曲精小管中生精细胞细胞质和细胞核中均有 HSPA2 阳性反应,着色深浅不等;阴性对照组未观察到阳性反应。根据积分光密度值比较得出,HSPA2 蛋白的阳性表达量在睾丸中最高,脑、肾脏、心脏、肺脏和肝脏次之,脾脏最少。【结论】通过基因水平和蛋白水平两个层面的研究,发现 HSPA2 在牦牛各组织器官中存在表达差异;睾丸中 HSPA2 基因和蛋白表达量均高于脑、肾脏、心脏、脾脏、肺脏和肝脏,提示 HSPA2 可能与睾丸的生殖功能密切相关。

Abstract: 【Objective】 This experiment was conducted to study the differences in expression of heat shock protein 70-2 (HSPA2) in different tissues and organs of yak. 【Method】 Three 1-year-old Qinghai Plateau male yaks were used in the present study. Under normal physiological conditions, the tissues and organs were obtained from healthy yak in mid-september 2013 (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain and testis). The RNA were extracted from different tissues and organs of yak, and the RNA were reverse-transcribed into first-strand cDNA. The primers were designed specifically according to the Bos grunniens HSPA2 and β-actin gene sequences (HSPA2:KC790105.1, β-actin: DQ838049.1). Firstly, RT-PCR were used to verify the real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) could be applied to the determination of the differences in expression of HSPA2 gene in different tissues and organs of yak. Then, real time quantitative PCR was applied to analyze the expression of HSPA2 gene. Paraformaldehyde was used to fix different tissues and organs of yak, and then made into paraffin sections. The protein localization of HSPA2 was measured by immunohistochemistry. The Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software was used to analyze immunohistochemistry, the integrated optical density of HSPA2 positive reaction was measured, and absorbance was analyzed. The SPSS19.0 software was used for significance of difference analysis. 【Result】 RT-PCR results showed that RT-qPCR can be applied to the determination of differences in expression of HSPA2 gene in different tissues and organs of yak. The results of RT-qPCR showed that comparative expression quantity of gene HSPA2 in testis was 83.33 fold than that in brain, 97.09 fold in kidney, 111.11 fold in heart,133.33 fold in spleen, 222.22 fold in lung and 285.71 fold in liver, respectively. Immunohistochemistry showed that HSPA2 expressed in the testis, kidney, brain, heart, lung, liver and spleen of yak. HSPA2 positive reaction was observed in yak renal cortical tubular, medullary tubules, cortical hippocampal CA1 region, cerebellar cortex, cardiac cells, alveolar epithelial cells, liver cells, spleen marginal zone and red pulp. The most positive reaction was found in the cytoplasm, and positive reaction was rarely found in the nucleus. In the testis seminiferous tubules, HSPA2 positive reaction was showed in both the cytoplasm and nucleus of spermatogenic cells. No positive reaction was observed in the negative control group. Analysis of integrated optical density values showed that the HSPA2 protein expression in testis was the strongest, and followed by the brain, kidney, heart, lung and liver, and its expression in spleen was the weakest. 【Conclusion】 By studying the gene and protein levels, the findings of the study showed the differences in expression of HSPA2 in different tissues and organs of yak. The expression of HSPA2 gene and protein in testis were higher than that in brain, kidney, heart, spleen, lung and liver, which suggests that HSPA2 may be associated with testicular reproductive function.
