Genes with intensities ≥2 and variation ＜0.33 between two samples were considered as positive signals with subtraction of background chosen from an area where no cDNA was spotted. The average gray level of two gallbladders was adopted to analyze its bioinformatics. Identified target genes were confirmed by touch-down polymerase chain reaction and sequencing.RESULTS: A total of 11 047 genes expressed in normal gallbladder, which was more than that predicted by another author, and the first 10 genes highly expressed (high gray level in hybridization image), e.g. ARPC5 (2 225.88±90.46), LOC55972 (2 220.32±446.51) and SLC20A2 (1 865.21±98.02), were related to the function of smooth muscle contraction and material transport. Meanwhile, 149 lipid-related genes were expressed in the gallbladder, 89 of which were first identified (with gray level in hybridization image), e.g. FASN (11.42±2.62), APOD (92.61±8.90) and CYP21A2 (246.11±42.36), and they were involved in each step of lipid metabolism pathway. In addition, 19 of those 149 genes were gallstone candidate susceptibility genes (with gray level in hybridization image), e.g. HMGCR (10.98±0.31), NPC1 (34.88±12.12) and NR1H4 (16.8±0.65), which were previously thought to be expressed in the liver and/or intestine tissue only. CONCLUSION: Gallbladder expresses 11 047 genes and takes part in lipid homeostasis.展开更多
为研究不同发育时期花生籽仁油脂合成过程中基因表达调控模式,本研究以高油酸、中油花生品系F18和低油酸、低油花生品种‘鲁花6号’为材料,对下针后10、30、40、60 DAP(days after pegging)的花生种子进行表达谱芯片测序。结果表明,130...为研究不同发育时期花生籽仁油脂合成过程中基因表达调控模式,本研究以高油酸、中油花生品系F18和低油酸、低油花生品种‘鲁花6号’为材料,对下针后10、30、40、60 DAP(days after pegging)的花生种子进行表达谱芯片测序。结果表明,130、3556、2783个基因分别在30、40、60 DAP时期差异表达。GO注释和KEGG富集结果显示,差异表达的基因主要富集在脂肪酸合成和光合等代谢进程中,其中FAB2、FAD2、WRI1等主要参与油酸的积累,参与光合作用的基因均为捕光叶绿素a/b结合蛋白,全部上调表达。代谢通路图结果表明,籽仁发育的40 DAP和60 DAP时期,脂肪酸合成途径的基因均上调表达。研究结果为花生油脂代谢的分子机制提供理论基础,同时也为花生品质改良贡献了基因资源。展开更多
