摘要:


文题释义:

线粒体蛋白磷酸酶2C(protein phosphatase 2Cm,PP2Cm):为支链α-酮酸脱氢酶磷酸酶,PP2Cm与支链α-酮酸脱氢酶E2亚单位相互作用,并以底物依赖和相互排斥的方式与支链α-酮酸脱氢酶激酶竞争,因此是支链氨基酸分解代谢的关键调节因子。PP2Cm广泛分布于机体各组织器官中,并在一切器官中表达较高,如心脏、大脑及肝脏。PP2Cm 与胚胎发育、线粒体内膜通透性、心衰及细胞凋亡密切相关。

转录组测序技术:是二代测序技术,具有高灵敏度、高精确度、成本低等特点,可以在基因层面上对疾病和药物进行分析。运用转录组测序技术研究疾病相关基因表达主要集中在差异表达基因分析、GO功能富集分析以及KEGG通路富集分析。GO功能分析是利用数据库的注释结果,对差异表达基因在分子功能、细胞组分、生物过程这三大类各个层次说明差异基因富集的功能部位。


背景:课题组前期研究发现相较于野生型小鼠,线粒体蛋白磷酸酶2C(protein phosphatase 2Cm,PP2Cm)基因缺失小鼠明显发生肾功能衰竭的症状,因此推测PP2Cm可能在肾脏纤维化发展过程中发挥重要保护作用,然而其分子机制尚不明确。
目的:探究PP2Cm基因对于人肾小管上皮细胞转录组的影响。
方法:培养人肾小管上皮细胞,用质粒将PP2Cm基因转染进入人肾小管上皮细胞,荧光定量PCR实验和Western blot实验检测细胞中PP2Cm的表达,随后分别提取细胞RNA进行转录组测序,寻找转染组和对照组之间的差异性表达基因,利用生物信息学方法进一步对所得的差异基因进行GO分析和KEGG分析。

结果与结论:通过测序分析,与未转染空白细胞相比,在转染PP2Cm基因的人肾小管上皮细胞中存在796个差异性表达基因,其中553个下调基因,243个上调基因,GO分析结果显示,上调表达的基因显著富集在细胞生物合成过程、蛋白质翻译、内在凋亡信号通路等;下调表达的基因显著富集在内皮细胞增殖、细胞黏附等信号通路;KEGG分析结果显示,显著上调表达的基因富集在氨基酸代谢、生物合成等代谢相关信号通路;下调表达的基因显著富集在泛酸和辅酶A的生物合成等信号通路。结果表明,PP2Cm过表达可以影响肾小管上皮细胞的一系列生物学过程相关的多条信号通路,可能在氨基酸代谢、生物合成等代谢相关信号通路中起重要作用。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: A previous study by our group found that protein phosphatase 2Cm (PP2Cm) null mice developed significantly fewer symptoms of renal failure relative to wild-type mice, and thus it was speculated that PP2Cm may play an important protective role in the development of renal fibrosis, however, the molecular mechanisms remain undefined.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the PP2Cm gene on the transcriptome of human renal tubular epithelial cells.
METHODS: Cultured human renal tubular epithelial cells were transfected with the PP2Cm gene into human renal tubular epithelial cells using plasmids. The expression of PP2Cm in the cells was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR assay and western blot assay, and subsequently, cell RNA was separately extracted for transcriptome sequencing to look for differentially expressed genes between transfected and control groups. The resulting differential genes were further subjected to GO analysis and KEGG analysis using bioinformatics methods.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were 796 differentially expressed genes, 553 of which were downregulated genes and 243 upregulated genes, in human renal tubular epithelial cells transfected with the PP2Cm gene compared with untransfected blank cells by sequencing analysis. GO analysis results showed that the upregulated genes were significantly enriched in cellular biosynthetic processes, protein translation, intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathways, and so on. The downregulated expressed genes were significantly enriched in endothelial cell proliferation, cell adhesion and other signaling pathways. KEGG analysis results showed that the significantly up-regulated genes were enriched in metabolism-related signaling pathways such as amino acid metabolism and biosynthesis. The downregulated expressed genes were significantly enriched in signaling pathways such as pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis. Our results show that PP2Cm overexpression can affect a number of signaling pathways related to a range of biological processes in renal tubular epithelial cells, which may be important in metabolism-related signaling pathways such as amino acid metabolism and biosynthesis.
