Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of molecular biology technology, and in particular to chicken lipogenesis gene 3'-UTR variants and their application in preadipocyte differentiation identification and analysis, wherein the chicken lipogenesis gene includes BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein-2) and PDK1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1), providing new information for chicken quality genetic breeding research. Background Art

[0002] Adipocytes, derived from mesenchymal stem cells, are primarily divided into three categories: white adipocytes, brown adipocytes, and beige adipocytes. The entire adipocyte differentiation process is divided into six stages: mesenchymal precursors, preadipocytes, growth-arrested preadipocytes, mitotic clonal expansion, terminal differentiation, and mature adipocytes. This is valuable for in vitro investigation of the mechanisms of cell proliferation, differentiation, adipokine secretion, and gene expression.

[0003] Chickens, as an economically important agricultural poultry species, have been considered an ideal experimental model animal in biological research. Studies have found that while fat synthesis in mammals primarily occurs in adipose tissue, 90% of fat synthesis in poultry occurs in the liver. The mechanisms of adipocyte differentiation and synthesis differ significantly between the two species. For example, the transcription factor SREBP1 has two isoforms (SREBP1α and SREBP1c) in humans and mice, while chickens have only one isoform, SREBP1α. Studies have also found that the level of lipogenesis in chicken liver and fat deposition in muscle are important factors determining chicken quality and health. Therefore, studying the changes in fat metabolism genes during chicken adipocyte differentiation is beneficial for research on chicken quality genetics and breeding.

[0004] The 3'-UTR plays a crucial role in gene expression regulation, playing a crucial role in mRNA post-transcriptional modification, intracellular localization and transport, maintaining mRNA stability, and ensuring translation efficiency. With the development of 3'-UTR sequencing technology, research on the regulation of gene expression by 3'-UTRs has become a hot topic. Studies have found that mutations in the 3'-UTR region of the HMGCR gene in Beijing oily chickens significantly affect total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in chicken serum. Furthermore, polymorphisms in the Sirt2 and WNT10B genes have been shown to be associated with backfat thickness in pigs, with WNT10B being significantly associated with hip and shoulder thickness. However, few studies have examined the role of 3'-UTRs in chicken preadipocyte differentiation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention uses chicken preadipocytes as experimental objects to reveal the adipogenic genes in the differentiation process of chicken preadipocytes. BMP2 and PDK1 The dynamic change rules of 3'-UTR of chicken were obtained, and the acquisition and application of 3'-UTR variants were provided, providing a theoretical basis for further research on the molecular regulatory mechanism of chicken fat production.

[0006] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows: Application of 3'-UTR variants of chicken adipogenic genes in the identification and analysis of chicken preadipocyte differentiation, including chicken adipogenic genes BMP2 and PDK1 .

[0007] In the previous study on the dynamic changes of 3'-UTR of the whole transcriptome during the differentiation of animal fat cells, the inventors found that the 3'-UTR of lipid metabolism genes related to the differentiation of chicken, duck and mouse preadipocytes had multiple different transcripts; further using chicken preadipocytes as experimental subjects, the inventors discovered for the first time that the adipogenic genes in the differentiation of chicken preadipocytes BMP2 、 PDK1 as well as LPL (lipoprotein lipase) has different 3'-UTR length transcripts, especially the gene BMP2 and PDK1 Different 3'-UTRs are expressed significantly differently during differentiation, so the gene BMP2 and PDK1 The 3'-UTR can be used to identify chicken preadipocyte differentiation-related genes.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the chicken preadipocytes are immortalized chicken preadipocytes (ICP1), and the chicken preadipocyte differentiation is induced by oleic acid.

[0009] Preferably, in the above scheme, the chicken adipogenic gene 3'-UTR variant is obtained by 3'-RACE and nested PCR, and the primers used include: B-GSP1 / 2 with sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO.29-30, and P-GSP1 / 2 with sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO.31-32.

[0010] More preferably, in the above nested PCR, the first PCR reaction program is: 94°C 3 min; 94°C 30 s, 56°C 30 s, 72°C 30 s, 35 cycles; 72°C 10 min; save at 4°C; the second PCR reaction program is: 94°C 3 min; 94°C 30 s, 60-62°C 30 s, 72°C 30 s, 35 cycles; 72°C, 10 min; save at 4°C.

[0011] Preferably, in the above scheme, during the differentiation of preadipocytes, genes BMP2 and PDK1 The 3'-UTR of the gene changes dynamically, and BMP2 Contains 5 transcripts, gene PDK1 Contains 4 transcripts.

[0012] More preferably, the genes are analyzed by semi-quantitative analysis and qPCR detection. BMP2 and PDK1 The expression of each 3'-UTR variant during cell differentiation was investigated, and the primers used included: P7-F / R as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 11-12, BMP2-FA and BMP2-R-1 as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 13-14, BMP2-F / R-2 as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 15-16, BMP2-F / R-3 as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 17-18, P8-F / R as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 19-20, PDK1-FA and PDK1-R-1 as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 21-22, PDK1-F / R-2 as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 23-24, PDK1-F / R-3 as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 25-26, and PDK1-F / R-4 as shown in SEQ ID NOs. 27-28.

[0013] Experimental data show that in the early stage of chicken preadipocyte differentiation, BMP2 and PDK1 The expression of the long variant is better than that of the short variant. BMP2 In the first 72 hours, it mainly exists in the form of long transcripts. In the later expression, long and short transcripts coexist. PDK1 The long transcript was mainly expressed in the first 24 h of differentiation, and both the long and short transcripts were expressed at 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, and 120 h.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This study first discovered the adipogenic gene in the differentiation process of chicken preadipocytes BMP2 and PDK1There are transcripts with different 3'-UTR lengths, and the expression of 3'-UTRs varies significantly during the differentiation process. Specifically, during the differentiation of chicken preadipocytes, BMP2 and PDK1 The 3'-UTR of the gene was dynamically changed, and 5 and 4 transcripts of different lengths were detected, respectively. BMP2 and PDK1 The expression levels of the long variants in the early stages of chicken preadipocyte differentiation were better than those of the short variants. The research results of the present invention provide a theoretical basis for further research on fat differentiation in poultry and an important reference for improving chicken quality.

[0022] Example 1 This example shows BMP2 and PDK1 The changes in 3'-UTR length of genes during chicken preadipocyte differentiation include the following: (1) Culture and differentiation of chicken preadipocytes.

[0023] When the confluence of the ICP1 cells in the cell culture flask reaches 90%, discard the cell culture medium from the flask and rinse the cells twice with 5 mL of PBS. Then, add 480 μL of trypsin and digest the cells at 37°C for 50-60 seconds. Once the cells begin to flow like a quicksand, add 20 mL of complete culture medium to the flask. After agitating the cell suspension, transfer the cell suspension to a six-well plate and plate evenly (add 2 mL of cell suspension to each well). Incubate in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator. After 24 hours, when the cells reach 50-60% confluence, replace the culture medium with induction medium containing oleic acid (160 μM) to induce cell differentiation. Thereafter, change the oleic acid induction medium every 24 hours.

[0024] (2) Study on the expression patterns of related genes during ICP1 cell differentiation.

[0025] After a large number of experiments, it was found that compared with other genes, BMP2 and PDK1 Gene expression levels showed obvious regular changes as ICP1 cells differentiated. The specific experimental steps and results are as follows: ① Oil red O staining.

[0026] After differentiation is complete, the medium was discarded, the cells were washed three times with PBS, and fixed with 1 mL of 4% paraformaldehyde solution at 4°C for 30 min. Oil Red O working solution was prepared by mixing the original Oil Red O solution with deionized water in a ratio of 3:2, then filtered. The fixative was discarded, the cells were washed three times with PBS, and dried in a 65°C oven. 1 mL of Oil Red O working solution was added and stained in the dark for 30 min.

[0040] Table 6 Composition of 3'-RACE-Ready cDNA Synthesis Master Mix

[0041] 3'-RACE amplification of the target gene: Nested PCR was performed using a 50 μL reaction system (see Tables 7 and 8). The first reaction was performed at 94°C for 3 minutes, followed by 35 cycles (94°C for 30 seconds, 56°C for 30 seconds, and 72°C for 30 seconds), followed by 72°C for 10 minutes, and then stored at 4°C. The second reaction was performed at 94°C for 3 minutes, followed by 35 cycles (94°C for 30 seconds, 60-62°C for 30 seconds, and 72°C for 30 seconds), followed by 72°C for 10 minutes, and then stored at 4°C. The second PCR primers were located downstream of the first PCR primers, and the product from the first PCR was diluted 50-fold and used as the template for amplification. Gene-specific primer GSP1 was used to identify and amplify known regions of the target gene and, together with the universal primers, to obtain preliminary amplification products of unknown sequences. Gene-specific primer GSP2 was used to further improve the specificity and accuracy of amplification, thereby obtaining complete or nearly complete cDNA sequences of the target gene.

[0043] Table 8 Second PCR system

[0044] PCR product recovery and sequencing verification: PCR products were subjected to 2% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the target fragment was recovered according to the instructions for the AxyPrep DNA Gel Recovery Kit (Shanghai Kemin Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). A ligation-reverse transformation experiment was then performed according to the instructions for the pEASY-Blunt Simple Cloning Kit. Approximately 12 individual colonies were selected and placed in EP tubes containing 900 μL of LB liquid medium containing ampicillin and cultured in a shaking incubator at 37°C overnight. Colony PCR verification was then performed using the reaction system shown in Table 9. The PCR products were then subjected to 2% agarose gel electrophoresis, and bacterial cultures with a consistent size and high brightness were selected and sent to Jinweizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for sequencing. Finally, the returned sequencing results were compared with the target gene fragment to verify the identity of the PCR product. The bacterial culture PCR reaction program was as follows: 94°C, 5 min; 32 cycles {94°C, 30 s; 58°C, 30 s; 72°C, 1 min}; 72°C, 5 min; and save at 4°C.

[0045] Table 9 Bacterial liquid PCR system

[0046] The results of agarose gel electrophoresis of PCR products are shown in Figure 3 , BMP2The gene obtained three relatively clear bands and a relatively fuzzy band (250bp-500bp) ( Figure 3 A); PDK1 The gene obtained two relatively clear bands and two relatively fuzzy bands (about 750bp) ( Figure 3 B); LPL The first 3'-RACE experiment of the gene obtained a relatively clear band and two relatively fuzzy bands (500bp-750bp and about 1500bp). The second 3'-RACE experiment obtained two relatively clear bands ( Figure 3 C). APA (alternative polyadenylation) variants were found in these three genes.

[0047] In addition, sequencing results revealed BMP2 The gene has five cDNA sequences of 286 bp, 347 bp, 592 bp, 617 bp, and 1096 bp (named B-APA1, B-APA2, B-APA3, B-APA4, and B-APA5, respectively); PDK1 There are four cDNA sequences with lengths of 281 bp, 523 bp, 646 bp, and 840 bp (named P-APA1, P-APA2, P-APA3, and P-APA4, respectively); LPL The gene has three cDNA sequences of 352bp, 734bp and 809bp (named L-APA1, L-APA2 and L-APA3, respectively).

[0048] ②Analysis of 3'-UTR length differences.

[0049] According to the sequence information obtained by sequencing, BMP2 The forward primer BMP2-FA and three different reverse primers that bind to different regions of the 3'-UTR were designed for the gene. PDK1 Gene design: forward primer PDK1-FA and four different reverse primers binding to different regions of the 3'-UTR, representing different 3'-UTR lengths ( Figure 4 ).

[0050] To verify BMP2 and PDK1 The changes in 3'-UTR length of genes during cell differentiation were investigated by different primer combinations (BMP2-FA + BMP2-R1, BMP2-FA + BMP2-R2, BMP2-FA + BMP2-R3 and PDK1-FA + PDK1-R1, PDK1-FA + PDK1-R2, PDK1-FA + PDK1-R3, PDK1-FA + PDK1-R4). BMP2 and PDK1 It should be noted that based on the results of agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing, BMP2 The gene had only three variants with clear electrophoresis bands and stable expression, so this step only performed quantitative analysis on the 3'-UTRs corresponding to these three bands.

[0051] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, it can be seen from the brightness of the stripes that BMP2 At 0h and 24h of preadipocyte differentiation, only the shorter products generated by BMP2-R1 and BMP2-R2 were expressed, and the long 3'-UTR was almost non-existent. On the contrary, the product generated by BMP2-R3 was significantly expressed at 96h and 120h. BMP2 Genes tend to express transcripts with shorter 3'-UTR at 0h, 24h, 48h, and 72h ( Figure 5 A). PDK1 The product generated by PDK1-R4 was almost not expressed at 0h and 24h of preadipocyte differentiation, but was significantly expressed at 48h, 72h and 96h. It is speculated that the transcripts with shorter 3'-UTR tend to be expressed at 0h, 24h and 120h than at 48h, 72h and 96h ( Figure 5 B).

[0052] The primers used in this example are shown in Table 10.

[0053] Table 10 PCR primers and gene-specific primer sequences

[0054] Example 2 Using the primers in Example 1, this example further determined the expression of the 3'-UTR of the target genes BMP2 and PDK1 at different differentiation stages during preadipocyte differentiation by qPCR experiments.

[0055] The forward and reverse primers used for the short fragments and the reverse primer used for the long fragments were primers that have been used to analyze 3'-UTR length variation. The amplified products of BMP2-R1 and PDK1-R1 were used to detect the expression of total isoforms (indicated by S). BMP2The primers used for detection include P7-F / R, BMP2-FA and BMP2-R-1, BMP2-F / R-2, and BMP2-F / R-3 (see Table 10 for specific sequences). Among them, P7-F and P7-R are forward and reverse primers of the TBP internal reference gene, used for data normalization (2-ΔΔCT), BMP2-FA and BMP2-R-1 are used to detect the expression of the total isomer S of BMP2, BMP2-F-2 and BMP2-R-2 are used to detect the expression of the longer transcript L-er of BMP2, and BMP2-F-3 and BMP2-R-3 are used to detect the expression of the longest transcript L-est of BMP2. PDK1 The primers used for detection include P8-F / R, PDK1-FA and PDK1-R-1, PDK1-F / R-2, PDK1-F / R-3, and PDK1-F / R-3 (see Table 10 for specific sequences), among which P8-F / R is the forward and reverse primer of the TBP internal control and is used for data normalization (2-ΔΔCT), PDK1-FA and PDK1-R-1 are used to detect the expression of the total PDK1 isoform S, PDK1-F / R-2 is used to detect the expression of the longer PDK1 transcript L-er-1, PDK1-F / R-3 is used to detect the expression of the longer PDK1 transcript L-er-2 (length L-er-2>L-er-1), and PDK1-F / R-4 is used to detect the expression of the longest PDK1 transcript L-est.

[0056] Test results such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, L-er represents the longer transcript, L-est represents the longest transcript, S represents the total isoform, and the vertical axis represents the relative expression of the gene (TBP gene is used as the internal reference, and the original CT value is converted to the relative gene expression using the 2-ΔΔCT method). Figure 6 As shown in A, there is no difference in the expression of L-er and S in BMP2 gene at 0h, 24h, 48h and 72h of differentiation of chicken preadipocytes, indicating that it mainly exists in the form of long transcripts; while there is no difference in the expression of L-er and L-est at 96h and 120h of differentiation, but both are significantly lower than the expression of S, indicating that long and short transcripts exist at the same time and have the same expression level. Figure 6 As shown in Figure 2, the PDK1 gene mainly expresses the long transcript at 0h and 24h of adipocyte differentiation, and the expression levels of the long and short transcripts are the same at 48h, 72h, 96h, and 120h of differentiation.

[0057] Furthermore, by comparing the expression levels of the total isoform relative to the longer 3'-UTR isoform ( Figure 7 ), the results showed that compared with before adipocyte differentiation induction (0h), BMP2 and PDK1 genes tended to express transcripts with longer 3'-UTR at 48h.

[0058] In summary, the dynamic changes of the 3'-UTR of the adipogenic genes BMP2 and PDK1 during chicken preadipocyte differentiation are related to adipogenesis, which can be used for the identification and analysis of chicken preadipocyte differentiation, providing materials and methods for conventional genetic breeding of chicken quality, and has application prospects.
