摘要
Myostatin基因,是肌肉生长的负调控因子,通过下调MyoD的表达抑制骨骼肌细胞的分化,但具体机制目前尚未完全清楚。以体外培养的猪骨骼肌卫星细胞为实验材料,利用RNA i技术,以Smad3为靶基因进行干扰研究,研究干扰前后猪骨骼肌卫星细胞增殖情况的变化以及MyoD、Myostatin基因的表达规律,进一步阐述3个基因间的调控关系。结果表明,Myostatin通过下调MyoD的表达,抑制骨骼肌卫星细胞的分化,但这种抑制作用是受Smad3调节的。
Myostatin is a negative regulator of myogenesis, which inhibits myogenic cell differentiation by down-regulating MyoD expression, but the specific mechanisim is not yet completely clear. The myogenic satellite cells were cultured in vitro. Smad3 was studied by RNAi as the target gene. The influences of Smad3 gene interference on myogenic satellite cell proliferation and the changes of MyoD and Myostatin gene after smad3 gene interference in myogenic satellite cell were researched, and the relationship of regulation among three genes was further explained. Together, the results show that myostatin inhibits myogenic cell differentiation by down-regulating MyoD expression, but this inhibition is mediated through Smad3.
