摘要: 【目的】 卵泡发育是一个复杂的调控过程,其中绵羊卵泡颗粒细胞granulosa cells, GCs的增殖,分化会直接影响卵泡的发育状况。TGF-β信号通路在绵羊卵巢发育和卵泡生长过程中起着重要作用,Smad7作为TGF-β信号通路关键性的抑制基因也发挥重要作用,通过探究Smad7介导TGF-β信号通路对绵羊卵泡 GCs增殖凋亡的影响,为进一步研究Smad7在卵泡GCs增殖凋亡过程中的调控作用提供依据。【方法】选取46月龄未怀孕的晋中健康杜湖杂交母羊20只,屠宰后采集双侧卵巢组织,分离培养卵泡颗粒细胞,FSHR细胞免疫荧光鉴定,Smad7细胞免疫荧光的表达定位,CCK8法测定细胞增殖情况,绘制生长曲线;细胞传代后外源添加不同浓度Smad7激动剂积雪草苷(asiaticosideAS)(0100200400600 ng·mL-1)培养绵羊卵泡GCs,选择AS最佳作用浓度处理二代颗粒细胞,采用实时荧光定量PCRWestern blotting检测TGF-β信号通路中关键基因及细胞凋亡和周期相关基因表达水平;合成三个siSmad7,转染至卵泡GCs中,选择干扰效果最佳的,采用实时荧光定量PCRWestern blotting检测TGF-β信号通路中关键基因及细胞凋亡和周期相关基因表达水平。【结果】 Smad7在绵羊卵泡GCs中有表达;200 ng·mL-1 AS能极显著上调Smad7GCs的表达(P <0.01),siSmad7-1对绵羊卵泡GCs的转染效果最佳(P<0.01);Smad7上调能显著增加TGF-β信号通路Smad4TFDP-1EP300的表达量(P<0.05),极显著增加TGF-β信号通路SP1的表达(P<0.01),显著增加凋亡相关基因Caspase8的表达量(P<0.05),极显著增加凋亡相关基因Caspase3Bim的表达量(P<0.01),显著升高细胞周期相关基因P21P27的表达量(P<0.05),极显著升高细胞周期相关基因CCND2的表达量(P<0.01),而CCND1的表达量显著降低(P<0.05);Smad7 siRNA显著降低TGF-β信号通路Smad4TFDP-1EP300的表达量(P<0.05),极显著降低TGF-β信号通路SP1的表达量(P<0.01),显著降低凋亡相关基因Caspase8的表达量(P<0.05),极显著降低凋亡相关基因Caspase3Bim的表达量(P<0.01),极显著降低细胞周期相关基因P21P27CCND2的表达量(P<0.01),极显著升高CCND1的表达量(P<0.01);CCK8分析显示,Smad7上调,GCs的增殖率在2448 h显著下调(P<0.01),Smad7 siRNA2472 h显著升高GCs的增殖率(P<0.05),在48 h极显著升高GCs的增殖率(P<0.01)。【结论】Smad7介导TGF-β信号通路抑制绵羊卵泡GCs增殖和促进细胞凋亡。

Abstract: ObjectiveFollicle development is a complex regulatory process, in which the proliferation and differentiation of ovine follicular granulosa cells (Granulosa Cells, GCs) will directly affect the development of follicles.TGF-β signaling pathway plays an important role in sheep ovarian development and follicle growth, and Smad7 also plays an important role as a key inhibitor of TGF-β signaling pathway. In this study, the effect of Smad7-mediated TGF-β signaling pathway on the proliferation and apoptosis of ovine follicular GCs was explored providing a basis for further research on the regulatory role of Smad7 in the process of follicular GCs proliferation and apoptosis. Method20 non-pregnant Jinzhong Duhu hybrid ewes aged 4-6 months were selected. After slaughtering, bilateral ovaries were collected, and GCs were isolated and cultured in vitro; FSHR cell immunofluorescence identification; Expression localization of Smad7 cells by immunofluorescence, the cell proliferation was measured by CCK8 method, and the growth curve was drawn; After the cells were passaged, different concentrations of Smad7 agonist Asiaticoside AS (0, 100, 200, 400, 600 ng/mL) were added exogenously, and the optimal concentration of AS was selected to treat the second generation GCs, using qRT-PCR and Western blotting to detect the expression levels of key genes in the TGF-β signaling pathway, as well as apoptosis and cycle-related genes; Three siSmad7s were synthesized and transfected into follicular GCs, and the one with the best interference effect was selected. The expression levels of key genes in the TGF-β signaling pathway, apoptosis and cycle-related genes were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. ResultThe results showed that Smad7 was expressed in ovine follicular GCs; 200 ng/mL AS could significantly up-regulate the expression of Smad7 in GCs (P<0.01), siSmad7-1 could effectively tranfected ovine follicle GCs (P<0.01); Up-regulation of Smad7 could significantly increase the expressions of Smad4, TFDP-1 and EP300 in the TGF-β signaling pathway (P<0.05), extremely significantly increase the expression of SP1 in the TGF-β signaling pathway (P<0.01), and significantly increase the expression of apoptosis-related gene Caspase8 P<0.05, extremely significantly increased the expressions of apoptosis-related genes Caspase3 and Bim (P<0.01), significantly increased the expressions of cell cycle-related genes P21 and P27 (P<0.05), extremely significantly increased the expression of cell cycle-related gene CCND2 (P<0.01), while the expression of CCND1 was significantly decreased (P<0.05); Smad7 siRNA significantly decreased the expressions of Smad4, TFDP-1 and EP300 in the TGF-β signaling pathway (P<0.05), extremely significantly decreased the expression of SP1 in the TGF-β signaling pathway (P<0.01), and significantly decreased the apoptosis-related gene Caspase8 P<0.05, extremely significantly decreased the expressions of apoptosis-related genes Caspase3 and Bim (P<0.01), extremely significantly decreased the expressions of cell cycle-related genes P21, P27 and CCND2 (P<0.01), extremely significantly increased the expression of CCND1 (P<0.01); CCK8 analysis demonstrated into that when Smad7 was up-regulated, the proliferation rate of GCs was significantly down-regulated at 24 h and 48 h (P<0.01). Smad7 siRNA significantly increased the proliferation rate of GCs at 24 h and 72 h (P<0.05). extremely significantly increased the proliferation rate of GCs (P<0.01).ConclusionIn summary, we suggest that Smad7 mediates TGF-β signaling pathway to inhibit the proliferation of ovine follicular GCs and promote cell apoptosis.
