Molecular and genetic characterization of elite transgenic rice plants produced by electric-discharge particle acceleration

The recovery of transgenic rice plants expressing a number of exogenous genes was reported previously. Using immature embryo explants as the target tissue, plasmids containing both selectable and screenable marker genes were introduced into elite rice varieties via electric-discharge particle acceleration. Co-integration, copy number, expression, and inheritance of these genes were analyzed. A 100% co-integration frequency was confirmed by Southern-blot analyses of R0 plants. The majority of transgenic plants contained between one and ten copies of exogenous DNA and molecular and genetic analyses of progeny indicated that all copies in almost all R0 plants were inherited as a single dominant hemizygous locus. Co-expression of unselected genes ranged from 30–66% for gus/hmr constructs, depending on the promotor used, and up to 90% for bar/hmr constructs. The integrative structures of two unlinked transgenic loci of a rare R0 plant were analyzed in detail by Southern-blot analysis of its progeny.     

Estimating the copy number of transgenes in transformed rice by real-time quantitative PCR

In transgenic plants, transgene copy number can greatly influence the expression level and genetic stability of the target gene, making estimation of transgene copy number an important area of genetically modified (GM) crop research. Transgene copy numbers are currently estimated by Southern analysis, which is laborious and time-consuming, requires relatively large amounts of plant materials and may involve hazardous radioisotopes. We report here the development of a sensitive, high-throughput real-time (RT)-PCR technique for estimating transgene copy number in GM rice. This system uses TaqMan quantitative RT-PCR and comparison to a novel rice endogenous reference gene coding for sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) to determine the copy numbers of the exogenous beta-glucuronidase (GUS) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) genes in transgenic rice. The copy numbers of the GUS and HPT in primary rice transformants (T0) were calculated by comparing quantitative PCR results of the GUS and HPT genes with those of the internal standard, SPS. With optimized PCR conditions, we achieved significantly accurate estimates of one, two, three and four transgene copies in the T0 transformants. Furthermore, our copy number estimations of both the GUS reporter gene and the HPT selective marker gene showed that rearrangements of the T-DNA occurred more frequently than is generally believed in transgenic rice.

Spontaneous germline amplification and translocation of a transgene array.

The majority of the mammalian genome is thought to be relatively stable throughout and between generations. There are no developmentally programmed gene amplifications as seen in lower eukaryotes and prokaryotes, however a number of unscheduled gene amplifications have been documented. Apart from expansion of trinucleotide repeats and minisatellite DNA, which involve small DNA elements, other cases of gene or DNA amplifications in mammalian systems have been reported in tumor samples or permanent cell lines. The mechanisms underlying these amplifications remain unknown. Here, we report a spontaneous transgene amplification through the male germline which resulted in silencing of transgene expression. During routine screening one mouse, phenotypically negative for transgene expression, was found to have a transgene copy number much greater than that of the transgenic parent. Analysis of the transgene expansion revealed that the amplification in the new high copy transgenic line resulted in a copy number approximately 40-60 times the primary transgenic line copy number of 5-8 copies per haploid genome. Genetic breeding analysis suggested that this amplification was the result of insertion at only one integration site, that it was stable for at least two generations and that the site of insertion was different from the site at which the original 5-8 copy array had integrated. FISH analysis revealed that the new high copy array was on chromosome 7 F3/4 whereas the original low copy transgene array had been localised to chromosome 3E3. DNA methylation analysis revealed that the high copy transgene array was heavily methylated. The amplification of transgenes, although a rare event, may give insight into amplification of endogenous genes which can be associated with human disease.     

Estimating number of transgene copies in transgenic rapeseed by real-time PCR assay with<Emphasis Type="Italic">HMG I/Y</Emphasis> as an endogenous reference gene

In transgenic plants, the number of transgene copies can greatly influence the level of expression and genetic stability of the target gene. Transgene copy numbers are estimated by Southern blot analysis, which is laborious and time-consuming, requires relatively large amounts of plant materials, and may involve hazardous radioisotopes. Here we report the development of a sensitive, convenient real-time PCR technique for estimating the number of transgene copies in transgenic rapeseed. This system uses TaqMan quantitative real-time PCR and comparison with a novel, confirmed single-copy endogenous reference gene, high-mobile-group protein I/Y (HMG I/Y), to determine the numbers of copies of exogenous β-glucuronidase (GUS) and neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) genes. TheGUS andnptII copy numbers in primary transformants (T₀) were calculated by comparing threshold cycle (C _T) values of theGUS andnptII genes with those of the internal standard,HMG I/Y. This method is more convenient and accurate than Southern blotting because the number of copies of the exogenous gene could be directly deduced by comparing itsC _T value to that of the single-copy endogenous gene in each sample. Unlike other similar procedures of real-time PCR assay, this method does not require identical amplification efficiencies between the PCR systems for target gene and endogenous reference gene, which can avoid the bias that may result from slight variations in amplification efficiencies between PCR systems of the target and endogenous reference genes.     

The dominant expression of functional human lactoferrin in transgenic cloned goats using a hybrid lactoferrin expression construct

Human Lactoferrin (hLF) is an iron-binding protein with multiple physiological functions. As the availability of natural hLF is limited, alternative means of producing this biopharmaceutical protein have been extensively studied. Here we report on the dominant expression of recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLF) in transgenic cloned goats using a novel optimised construct made by fusing a 3.3kb hLF minigene to the regulatory elements of the β-casein gene. The transgenic goat produced more than 30mg/ml rhLF in its milk, and rhLF expression was stable during the entire lactation cycle. The rhLF purification efficiency from whole goat milk is approximately 70%, and its purity is above 98%. Compared with natural hLF, the rhLF from transgenic goats has similar biological characteristics including molecular mass, N-terminal sequence, isoelectric point, immunoreactivity and digestive stability. More importantly, the purified rhLF showed specific anti-tumour activity in the mouse model of melanoma experimental metastasis. Therefore, our study shows that the large-scale production of functional rhLF in transgenic goat milk could be an economical and promising source of human therapeutic use in the future.
