我国蒙古羊系统不同生态型绵羊品种遗传多样性及距离隔离机制的研究

以我国主要地方绵羊品种湖羊、同羊、小尾寒羊、滩羊和洼地绵羊为研究对象,检测位于不同染色体的微卫星位点的基因频率分布,进行比较分析.结果表明 1) 就本研究涉及的微卫星标记而言,湖羊处于Hardy-Weinberg极不平衡状态 (P ＜ 0.01),而其余群体包括同羊、小尾寒羊、滩羊和洼地绵羊却处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡 (P ＜ 0.05).2) 就本研究涉及的微卫星标记而言,平均杂合度、多型信息含量和有效等位基因数三个遗传变异指标的方差分析表明不同群体间杂合度、多型信息含量均不存在显著差异 (P ＞ 0.05),有效等位基因数遗传变异指标在、滩羊、湖羊、同羊和洼地羊相互之间以及洼地羊与小尾寒羊之间亦差异不显著(P ＞ 0.05),但是有效等位基因数在前3个群体与后2个群体之间存在显著差异 (0.01 ＜ P ＜ 0.05).5个绵羊群体的变异水平以小尾寒羊最高,其次为洼地绵羊、同羊和滩羊,最低的是湖羊.3) 本研究涉及的我国蒙古羊系统内5个绵羊群体间的系统发生关系不满足距离隔离模式,绵羊群体间的遗传分化关系的远近与其地理分布并未表现出紧密的线性相关.这与5个绵羊起源于不同时期的蒙古羊始祖群体,同时在品种间存在一定程度的基因交流,并在各自特有的生态环境中经历不同程度的自然选择和人为选择品种培育史实相符.     

藏绵羊JNK1基因遗传特征及其适应性进化分析

JNKs(c-Jun N-terminal kinases)是丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)家族中的成员,主要参与动物应急反应和组织发育等生命活动的调控过程。为分析藏绵羊在高寒低氧环境中的适应性进化机制,利用PCR-SSCP技术对藏绵羊、甘肃高山细毛羊和滩羊的JNK1基因第1、第8外显子的分子遗传特征进行分析,从而明确3个绵羊群体JNK1基因遗传序列特征、单核苷酸突变位点、单倍型组成和群体遗传特性。结果表明,在3个绵羊群体JNK1基因第1外显子区均检测到AA、BB和AB 3个基因型和1个突变位点,其中AA基因型和A等位基因为藏绵羊的优势基因型和优势等位基因,显著高于甘肃高山细毛羊和滩羊。在第8外显子区检测到EE、FF和EF 3个基因型,发现3个碱基插入和1个SNPs,其中等位基因F为藏绵羊和甘肃高山细毛羊的优势等位基因。研究结果与3个绵羊群体所处海拔高度及所受外界环境应激反应(高寒低氧)的强弱是相一致的,表明JNK1基因可以作为藏绵羊的高原适应性进化研究以及抗逆/病性分子选育的候选基因。研究结果将为藏绵羊的遗传改良和种质创新提供基础数据。

为了在分子水平上探讨绵羊的起源,对中国和蒙古共20个绵羊群体、314只绵羊mtDNA D-环的部分序列进行了测定,结果表明：中国绵羊和蒙古绵羊mtDNA D-环区的部分序列中A、T、G、C含量没有明显的差别;蒙古绵羊的多态位点数（28．85％）略高于中国绵羊（24．22％）;中国绵羊群体的单倍型多样度在青海藏羊、甘肃藏羊、甘肃高山细毛羊、青海细：色羊、甘南藏羊、小尾寒羊和滩羊群体中较高,但在湖羊和岷县黑裘皮羊中较低;蒙古绵羊的单倍型多样度在Bayad和Baidrag群体中最高,但在Gobi—Altai群体中最低。从总体上看,蒙古绵羊的遗传多样性要略高于中国绵羊,例如单倍犁比例的平均值为86．06％（142／185）：78．83％（108／137）,单倍型多样度（Hd）的甲均值为0．976：0．936,核苷酸多样度（Pi（π））的平均值为0．036：0．034,平均核苷酸差异数（k）的平均值为23．50：22．48～217个中国和蒙古绵羊的单倍型序列的系统发生分析表明,中国和蒙古绵羊均有3个母系起源,被定义为A、B和C3类主要的单倍型。其中A类单倍型在所有中国绵羊群体及绝大多数蒙古绵羊群体（9／11）中占优势,平均比例为58．73％;B类单倍型居中,为24．88％;C类单倍型最少,仅为16．59％。进一步从GenBank获得的91个绵羊D-环区的序列与中国和蒙古绵羊D-环区的单倍型的进行网络关系分析,发现欧洲摩弗仑羊（European mouflon,O．musimon）与中国和蒙古绵羊具有较近的亲缘关系,但没有发现塬羊（Argali．O．ammon）、盘羊（0．rignei bochariensis）和东方盘羊（0．ammon nigrimontana）对中国和蒙古绵羊起源有贡献的证据。     

Study on Tandem Repeat Sequence Variation in Sheep mtDNA D-loop Region

The 75-nt-long tandem repeat sequence in the control region of mtDNA of 77 individuals, of which 69 were from different indigenous sheep breeds in China and 8 were from imported breeds, was sequenced and analyzed to investigate the origin and differentiation of Chinese indigenous sheep breeds and also the genetic diversities and relationships among them. A total of 28 variable sites were detected within 309 repeated sequences, among which 7 sites were singleton variable sites with two variants, 1 site was a singleton variable site with three variants, and 20 sites were parsimony informative sites with two variants. A total of 63 haplotypes were sorted from 28 polymorphic sites, among which two main and basic haplotypes, namely, Hap 1 and Hap 3 were present at a much higher proportion, at 12.94% and 30.42%, respectively. It could be inferred that Chinese indigenous sheep breeds originated from two maternal ancestors because of the maternal inheritance characteristics of the mtDNA. Altay sheep and Kazakstan sheep are closely related and do not differentiate significantly. Mongolian sheep and Ujumuqin sheep also share a close relationship. Tibetan sheep, Mongolian sheep, and Ujumuqin sheep have lower genetic diversity than Altay sheep and Kazakstan sheep.     

BMP-15基因外显子Ⅰ在三种绵羊中的多态性及与繁殖力相关性分析

为研究绵羊繁殖力与绵羊BMP-15 (bone morphogenetic protein 15)基因的多态位点关系,并寻找调控绵羊繁殖力的分子标记,以甘肃高山细毛羊、蒙古羊、小尾寒羊三种绵羊为研究对象,采用PCR-SSCP技术与DNA碱基测序相结合的方法,检测该基因第一外显子67、92两个位点在上述三个不同品种绵羊中是否存在FecX^H (Q23→Ter)和FecX^I (V31→D)突变,同时根据检测结果与其繁殖力做相关性分析。结果表明,在三种绵羊中既未检测出与Inverdale绵羊相同的FecX^I突变,也未检测出与Romney绵羊相同的FecX^H突变,因此推测BMP-15基因中影响Romney与Inverdale绵羊高繁殖力的突变位点对以上三种绵羊均无显著影响。     

Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) used in the detection of germline and somatic mutations.

Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) has been described recently as a method for screening DNA samples for single nucleotide polymorphisms and inherited mutations. Thirty-eight DNAs, 22 of which were heterozygous for previously characterized rearranged transforming gene (RET) or cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) mutations or polymorphisms, were examined using DHPLC analysis to assess the accuracy of this scanning method. Ninety-one per cent (20/22) of the PCR amplicons from specimens with heterozygous RET or CFTR sequence showed elution profiles distinct from corresponding homozygous normal patterns; whether the profiles for two amplicons containing heterozygous RET sequence were distinct from homozygous cases was equivocal. To investigate the usefulness of this method for detecting mutations in tumor DNAs, each of the phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten gene (PTEN) exons were examined for mutations in 63 malignant gliomas. Seventeen PTEN PCR products from this series of brain tumors showed elution profiles indicating sample heterozygosity and in each instance conventional sequencing confirmed the presence of a mutation. PTEN amplicons containing exons 1, 3 and 5 were sequenced for each of the 63 tumor DNAs to determine whether any mutations may have escaped DHPLC detection, and this analysis identified one such alteration in addition to the eight mutations that DHPLC had revealed. In total, DHPLC identified 37 of 40 (92.5%) PCR products containing defined sequence variation and no alterations were indicated among 196 amplicons containing homozygous normal sequence.     

基于Cyt b基因探讨羚羊亚科原羚属系统发生关系

原羚属物种在羚羊亚科中的分类地位尚存在很多争议。本文测定了原羚属的黄羊和藏原羚细胞色素b基因全序列(1140bp),并与牛科其它属31个种的同源序列进行比较,对其碱基组成变异情况及核苷酸序列差异进行了分析。基于细胞色素b基因全序列,用简约法(MP)、邻接法(NJ)和似然法(ML)构建了系统进化树。结果表明：黄羊和藏原羚的序列差异为3．78％,颠换数目近乎为0,其突变远未饱和;原羚属内黄羊和藏原羚为不同种,单系发生;原羚属与赛加羚羊属、犬羚属及跳羚属等并系发生,原羚属隶属于羚羊亚科,应为独立属;羚羊亚科组成属间多为并系起源。根据序列差异值2％／百万年的细胞色素6分子钟,推测黄羊和藏原羚分歧时间大约为1～2百万年;原羚属与羚羊亚科其它属分歧时间大约在5．7～8百万年。     

Application of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography for rice variety identification and seed purity assessment

Recent DNA sequencing projects and the establishment of high-throughput assays have provided an abundance of sequence information and data on nucleotide polymorphisms in rice. Based on previously identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions, we employed denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) to genotype rice varieties using a chromatographic pattern-based strategy. In this study, 12 amplicons harboring multiple and informative SNPs were screened. PCR products of the 12 amplicons from 47 rice varieties were analyzed by DHPLC and DNA sequencing. Each homozygous sample with a single peak pattern in the initial DHPLC analysis was mixed with zhenshan97 for a second DHPLC analysis. The 12 amplicons were found to be polymorphic across the hybrids, and mixed homozygous samples with 43 distinct DHPLC elution profiles detected. Sequence analysis confirmed that the distinct DHPLC patterns corresponded to different DNA sequences. A set of distinct characteristic profiles in six amplicons differentiated between all of the hybrids, inbred lines, and restorer lines and produced unique a fingerprint for these lines. In addition, we found that the DHPLC pattern of the hybrid was in accordance with the results obtained by DHPLC analysis of a mixed sample of the two parents. These results demonstrate that DHPLC can be efficiently applied for the rapid and automated identification of diverse rice varieties and could possibly be utilized for seed genetic purity testing on a high-throughput scale.     

Denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography is a suitable method for PMM2 mutation screening in carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type IA patients

The phosphomannomutase 2 gene (PMM2; MIM 601785) has been identified as the carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1A gene (CDGS type 1A; MIM 212065). The gene spans 8 exons and 741 bp of coding DNA. Previously, we have identified 20 different mutations in the PMM2 gene using mutation screening with single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing of DNA from 61 CDGS type 1A patients. Because eight of these could not be detected by SSCP, we were not satisfied with the sensitivity of the mutation detection technique used. Thus, we wanted to investigate if denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) was a more suitable mutation screening method for PMM2. DHPLC was set up for PMM2 by optimizing eight different PCR fragments, one for each exon. The mutation detection was optimized empirically with PCR fragments from controls. First, control samples were run at a universal gradient and after modification and shortening of the gradient, also run at 10 different temperatures, 50-70 degrees C with 2-degree intervals, to enable setting of the temperature with the highest resolution. Then, PCR products with known mutations from the previous study were analyzed, and the results were compared to the control chromatograms for aberrations. We detected 19/20 mutations with DHPLC, and several mutations not detected by earlier screening techniques were readily detected by DHPLC. We conclude that DHPLC is a suitable detection technique for a rapid and reliable first scan of CDGS type 1A patients.     

Assessment of DHPLC usefulness in the genotyping of GSTP1 exon 5 SNP: comparison to the PCR-RFLP method

Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis can be performed by several methods such as PCR-RFLP, real time PCR and mass spectrometry. Denaturating High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC) analysis allows the detection of DNA mutations in heteroduplex samples. GSTP1 exon 5 gene presents a single-nucleotide polymorphism (a to g) that results into an amino-acid substitution (Ile to Val). Ile and Val variants are identified respectively by a and b alleles. This polymorphism affects enzyme activity and is highly frequent within Caucasian populations and therefore widely studied in the context of SNP related to cancer susceptibility. Our goal was to evaluate DHPLC usefulness in detecting a well-known SNP in comparison to PCR-RFLP, in the field of molecular epidemiological studies. Fifty Caucasian people were genotyped by both methods. Heterozygous samples were identified easily at two temperatures using the DHPLC method. Discrimination between a/a and b/b homozygous genotypes was done by pooling every homozygous sample with a known a/a sample. Our genotyping using both methods resulted in the characterisation of 32 (64%) a/a homozygous, 18 (36%) a/b heterozygous and 5 (10%) b/b homozygous. All samples were also identically genotyped by the two methods. Our results show that DHPLC is a good alternative to classical PCR-RFLP method in genotyping SNPs. Advantages of this chromatographic method were no restriction site needed and a reduced technical time thanks to an automated injection. Moreover, unlike classical RFLP gel analysis, DHPLC chromatograms provided objective criteria for sample classification.     

三种绵羊BMP15基因第二外显子多态性及与产羔数的相关性分析

绵羊存在影响多胎性状的不同主效基因,选择影响Romney Hanna绵羊和Cambridge绵羊高繁殖力的骨形态发生蛋白15 (bone morphogenetic protein 15, BMP15)为候选基因,采用PCR-SSCP的方法检测BMP15基因外显子Ⅱ第747位点(T747→C)和755位点(T755→C)在蒙古羊、甘肃高山细毛羊、小尾寒羊三种绵羊母羊中的多态性,同时还研究了上述两处突变对三种绵羊产羔数的影响。表明:(1)一共检测到野生纯合型AA、突变杂合型AB (T747→C)、AC (T755→C)三种不同的基因型,AA为优势基因型,A为优势等位基因;(2)三种基因型在甘肃高山细毛羊中均被检测到,而蒙古羊和小尾寒羊中未检测出AB基因型;(3)突变杂合型蒙古羊(AC)比野生纯合型(AA)的平均产羔数多0.27只(p<0.05)。(4)AC的基因型频率,双羔母羊和多羔母羊均高于单羔母羊。根据以上实验推测,BMP15第755位点发生的T→C突变(AC型)对蒙古羊一胎产双羔影响十分显著,甘肃高山细毛羊中AC基因型的绵羊其产羔数有比AA基因型和AB基因型多的趋势,因此该位点可能是一个影响绵羊高繁殖力潜在的DNA标记。
