碱性成纤维细胞生长因子受体基因在牛眼晶体上皮细胞内的表达

Gene expression of basic fibroblast growth factor receptor in bovine lens epithelial cells

目的探讨碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（ｂａｓｉｃｆｉｂｒｏｂｌａｓｔｇｒｏｗｔｈｆａｃｔｏｒ，ｂＦＧＦ）对晶体上皮细胞促增殖作用的机理。方法从培养的第二代牛眼晶体上皮细胞提取ＲＮＡ，经逆转录反应合成ｃＤＮＡ。借助从人体胎盘纤维细胞ｂＦＧＦ受体序列合成的寡核苷酸引物，聚合酶链反应体外扩增ｃＤＮＡ。扩增的ｃＤＮＡ片段克隆后，Ｓａｎｇｅｒ双脱氧链终止法测定其序列。结果探测出牛眼晶体上皮细胞ｂＦＧＦ受体的ｍＲＮＡ，测序后发现其氨基酸序列片段中仅３个氨基酸与人体不同。结论晶体上皮细胞存在ｂＦＧＦ受体，当ｂＦＧＦ与其受体结合后，对促进晶体上皮细胞的增殖以及白内障术后后囊混浊具有重要作用。

Objective To characterize the mechanism of promotive effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on proliferation of lens epithelial cells. Methods RNA was extracted from cultured bovine lens epithelial cells of second passage and then cDNA was synthesized with reverse transcription. cDNA segments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction using bFGF receptor oligonucleotide primer from sequence of fibroblast cells in human placenta. Then, amplified cDNA segments were cloned and sequenced by Sanger method of dideoxy chain termination. Results It was found that the bFGF receptor mRNA in bovine lens epithelial cells was detected and partial amino acid sequences of bovine bFGF receptor are almost the same as that of human′s except 3 amino acids.Conclusions bFGF receptor exists in lens epithelial cells, and when bFGF is bound to its receptor, the binding plays an important role in lens epithelial cell proliferation and capsular opacity after cataract surgery.
