Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and more particularly to an effective method for inhibiting yak... FGF5 shRNAs for gene expression and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] yak ( Bos grunniens The yak is an important livestock species on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, providing local herders with crucial resources such as meat, milk, and wool. To adapt to the hypoxic, low-temperature, and intense ultraviolet radiation environment of high-altitude regions, the yak has evolved a unique skin and hair structure: its skin contains primary hair follicles (producing coarse hair) and secondary hair follicles (producing downy hair). The secondary hair follicles are crucial for thermoregulation and are the key morphological basis for the yak's cold resistance. Yak hair follicles exhibit a distinct seasonal growth cycle (anagen, catagen, and telogen phases), which is synergistically influenced by photoperiod, environmental stress, and genetic regulation. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle cycle transformation is of great significance for understanding the yak's adaptation to the plateau and its genetic selection.

[0003] Fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) FGF5 FGFR1-4 is a member of the FGF family and regulates cell growth by binding to the receptor FGFR1-4 to transmit signals. This gene was initially discovered in human tumor cells, encoding 268 amino acids, and has since been identified in multiple species, including mice, cattle, humans, rats, goats, cats, and dogs. FGF5 It has the function of inhibiting hair growth and promoting the transformation of hair follicles into the resting phase. Studies have shown that... FGF5 It can accelerate the transition of cashmere goat hair follicles to the regression phase, thereby reducing cashmere yield; while inhibiting its expression can slow down the hair follicle cycle process, improving cashmere yield and quality. In species such as goats and dogs, FGF5 Natural mutations in genes can lead to loss or reduction of protein function, thereby prolonging the hair growth phase and producing a long-haired phenotype. In Tianzhu white yaks, FGF5 The gene g.166858 T>A site was significantly associated with head hair length, back hair length, and hair production.

[0004] shRNA is a small RNA molecule with a hairpin structure that can silence target gene expression via the RNAi pathway. Unlike short-acting siRNA, shRNA can be introduced into cells via vectors and continuously expressed under the drive of the U6 or H1 promoter, making it a highly efficient tool for gene function research. (Specifically for yak...) FGF5 Designing specific shRNA sequences and constructing corresponding lentiviral expression systems will provide a basis for in-depth analysis of yak genetics. FGF5 This lays the foundation for gene function. This tool can be widely applied to yaks. FGF5 Related cell research has significant application prospects and economic value.

To ensure the accuracy of the reaction solution preparation, first prepare a premixed system according to the reaction number + 2, then dispense it into each reaction tube, and finally add the RNA sample.

[0080] Table 3 Reaction System

[0081] (2) Briefly centrifuge to collect the solution on the tube wall to the bottom of the tube.

[0082] (3) Incubate at 42℃ for 2 min.

[0083] (4) After the reaction is complete, briefly centrifuge and place on ice to cool.

[0084] 4. cDNA Synthesis and Reverse Transcription

[0085] (1) Prepare the reaction system on ice. Please prepare the reaction solution on ice.

[0086] Table 4 Reaction System

[0087] (2) Mix well and centrifuge briefly to collect the solution on the tube wall to the bottom of the tube.

[0093] Table 7 Primer sequences

[0094] After the cycle is completed, the temperature is increased from 60℃ to 98℃ to obtain the melting curve.

[0095] Before performing quantitative PCR, a preliminary test should be conducted to assess the quality of the cDNA sample. Real-time PCR should be performed on the cDNA sample using the internal reference gene GAPDH, and the cDNA sample quality should be evaluated based on the Ct value. Samples with Ct values ​​between 18 and 25 can proceed directly to the later stages of the experiment; if Ct ≥ 30, the cDNA sample concentration is too low, and reverse transcription needs to be repeated; if there are no amplification results, the cDNA quality is problematic, and reverse transcription needs to be repeated.

[0096] Change the cDNA template from 10x to 10x 5 The probes were serially diluted and used as templates for quantitative real-time PCR reactions of each probe pair. A standard curve was constructed using five gradient reactions of the internal control gene GAPDH. The slopes and R values ​​of the curves for the other primer pairs were compared. 2 Compare with the internal reference gene to ensure consistent amplification efficiency.

[0097] 5. Statistical analysis of real-time PCR data

[0098] The standardized statistical analysis of the quantitative real-time PCR data involved correcting for differences in initial template amounts and reverse transcription efficiencies among different samples using the GAPDH gene as an internal reference. For each reaction, the target gene and internal reference gene for each sample were repeated three times to obtain the average Ct value. The ΔΔCt value for each sample was calculated using Excel software, and the relative expression level of the target gene and the inhibition efficiency of each shRNA fragment were calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt method. Interference efficiency (%) = [(expression level of expression control group - expression level of shRNA group) / expression level of expression control group] × 100%.

[0099] As can be seen from the above, both shRNAs of the present invention are effective against... ​ It has a good inhibitory effect, among which ​ The suppression efficiency of -sh2 is 32.27%. ​ -sh1 showed the highest suppression efficiency, reaching 40.71%.

[0100] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
