摘要
目的:利用染色质免疫沉淀法筛选转录因子Nanog调控的目的基因。方法:用甲醛固定胚胎干细胞,利用超声将其染色质随机断裂成0.5~1.0kb的染色质片段,通过免疫沉淀富集与Nanog结合的DNA片段,回复交联后分离纯化DNA片段,最终用凝胶迁移阻滞实验验证Nanog与DNA片段的结合。结果:我们发现fzr为Nanog调控的目的基因,并通过电泳迁移率变动分析证明了二者的结合。结论:Fzr在细胞周期调控中发挥重要作用,这为阐明Nanog的作用机理奠定基础。
Objective: To identify the downstream targets of Nanog by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Methods: By formaldehyde cross-linking and sonicationg, the chromatin of embryonic stem cells was splitted to fragments with an aver- age length approximately 0.5-1 kb. The DNA fragments binding to targeted protein Nanog were riched by immunoprecipi- tation, and were isolatede and purificated after reverse crosslinks. The combination of Nanog and DNA fragments was proved by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA). Results: Our data shows that the following screened gene is fzr. We proved the results by EMSA. Conclusion: Fzr is important for the regulation of cell cycle. This elucidates the mechanism of Nanog function elementarily.
