摘要
β-Nerve growth factor (β NGF) mRNA levels in hippocampa from C57BL/6J mice of different ages were compared by semi-quantitative RT-PCR method, taking β-actin gene as an internal control. The levels of 6-and 12-month-old C57 mice were much lower compared with that of the l-month-old mouse. However, there was no significant difference between these two groups. This result suggests that gene transcription level of hippocampus β NGF in a C57, mouse descends evidently as it grows up. Base T at Site 294 of β NGF cDNA was substituted by C in the C57, mouse, as revealed by DNA sequencing for the first time. Nevertheless, this polymorphism of nucleotide did not make any difference in amino acid composition.
采用半定量 RT-PCR法测定了1,6,12月龄 C57小鼠海马βNGF mRNA水平,将β肌动蛋白基因作为内标。结果表明, 6, 12月龄两组间无显著性差异,但均显著低于1月龄组,说明C57小鼠发育过程中其海马 βNGF基因转录水平明显降低。另外,发现C57小鼠海马 β NGF基因第294位碱基为C,与普通小鼠的T不同,但这种碱基差异并不影响氨基酸组成。
