摘要
目的检测WNK1和WNK4基因在小鼠肾脏组织中的表达位点。方法RT-PCR方法扩增WNK1和WNK4基因片段作为探针,在小鼠多组织膜上进行Northern印迹杂交。将上述片段克隆入pGEM-T载体,测序证实后,体外转录RNA探针并在小鼠肾脏石蜡组织切片上进行原位杂交。结果WNK1基因广泛表达在小鼠各组织中,在肾脏有9.5kb强杂交信号。WNK4基因主要表达在肾脏组织中,有4.4kb杂交信号。原位杂交显示WNK1基因仅表达在肾脏远曲小管中,而WNK4除表达在肾脏远曲小管外,还表达在髓质集合管上。结论WNK1和WNK4基因均在肾脏中有表达,WNK4基因在肾脏中表达比WNK1基因更广泛。
Objective To investigate the expression of WNK1 and WNK4 genes in the mouse kidney. Methods The probes corresponding to the genes were amplified by RT PCR from mouse kidney, and then Northern blotting was performed on mouse multiple tissues membrane. The fragments were cloned into pGEM T vector,the correct plasmids were linearized and transcripted into RNA probes in vitro. In situ hybridization was performed on the mouse kidney sections. Results WNK1 gene was widely expressed in mouse tissues. There was a 9 5 kb strong signal in kidney. WNK4 gene was mainly expressed in kidney and had a 4 4 kb signal. In situ hybridization showed WNK1 gene was mostly expressed in the distal convoluted tubule whereas WNK4 gene was expressed in the medullary collecting ducts besides the distal convoluted tubules. Conclusion Both WNK1 and WNK4 genes were expressed in kidney. WNK4 was expressed more widely than WNK1 in mouse kidney.
