CFTR基因在小鼠肠道组织中的差异表达

Differential expression of CFTR gene in the mouse intestinal tissues

目的研究肠道组织CFTR基因表达与分泌性腹泻发生的关系。方法选取KM小鼠24只,雌雄各半,随机分为3组(每组8只):对照组经小鼠腹腔注射0.2 mL生理盐水,实验组小鼠经腹腔注射LPS[6 mg/(kg·bw)]分别作用1 h、8 h,于注射后通过小鼠精神状态、肠道组织形态学判定分泌性腹泻模型的建立,利用荧光定量PCR法检测各段肠道组织CFTR基因的表达。结果 LPS成功诱导小鼠发生了分泌性腹泻;CFTR基因在小鼠十二指肠、空肠、回肠和结肠组织中均有不同的表达丰度,以结肠最高,但各段肠道间差异不显著;与对照组相比,LPS上调了十二指肠、空肠和回肠CFTR基因的转录,下调了结肠CFTR基因的转录。结论提示肠道组织CFTR基因转录水平的上调与LPS诱导分泌性腹泻的发生密切相关,且在各肠段发挥的作用不同,其中空肠在氯离子(Cl-)分泌中发挥主要作用,结肠的作用最弱。

Object This experiment was conducted to study the relationship between CFTR gene expression in the intestinal tissues and secretory diarrhea.Methods Twenty-four Kunming mice were selected, half male and half female, and were randomly divided into 3 groups （ n=8 in each group）：control group with intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mL nor-mal saline, and the experimental group of mice by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide（LPS） （6 mg/kg＆#183; bw）. The mental state and intestinal morphology of the mice at 1 h and 8 h after LPS injection were observed to assess whether the secretory diarrhea model was successfully established.The expression of CFTR gene segments of intestine tissue was de-tected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results LPS induced secretory diarrhea.CFTR gene was expressed in the mouse duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon tissues with different expression abundance.It was highest in the colon, but the difference was not significant between intestinal segments.Compared with the control group, LPS up-regulated the tran-scription level of CFTR gene in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, and down-regulated the transcription of CFTR gene in the colon.Conclusions The results of our study suggest that the changes of the transcriptional level of CFTR gene are closely related with the diarrhea induced by LPS and the effects in different intestinal segments on the diarrhea is different. The jejunum plays a crucial role and the colon plays a least role in the Cl-secretion.
