摘要
目的研究肌分化因子MyoD基因mRNA在强直性肌营养不良症(DM)患者肌肉组织中的表达情况。方法采用半定量RT-PCR方法检测4例DM肌肉组织和配对非肌肉病对照者肌肉组织MyoD基因mRNA表达。结果两组肌肉组织中均MyoD基因mRNA表达;DM肌肉组织中MyoDmRNA的表达指数为0.267±0.114,明显低于对照组肌肉组织(0.788±0.136),二者差异有统计学意义(P=0.001)。结论DM肌肉组织中存在MyoD基因mRNA表达显著下调。
Objective To explore the mRNA expression of MyoD gene in the skeletal muscles of myotonic dystrophy (MD) patients. Methods Muscle biopsy specimens were obtained from the biceps muscles of arm of 4 MD patients and 4 healthy controls. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate the mRNA expression of MyoD in the specimens. Results The mRNA expression index of MyoD of the MD patients was (0. 267 ± 0. 114 ), significantly lower than that of the healthy controls [ ( 0. 788 ± 0. 136) ,P = 0. 0011. Conclusion Down-regulated mRNA expression of MyoD gene is involved in the mechanism of DM.
