Quox—1基因同源序列在人胚早期发育中的表达

以Ｑｕｏｘ－１基因的特异性片段ｂ２为探针与人基因ＤＮＡ作Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交，结果显示，人基因组中存在Ｑｕｏｘ－１基因的同源序列。结果表明其表达有明显的时间和空间特异性。胚龄３０天以前，Ｑｕｏｘ－１基因的同源序列在人胚包神经管等许多部位表达，３０天以后表达部位局限于脊索、心肌细胞、生机节、消化道上皮及周皮等处。

The expression of Quox-1 gene homologous sequence in the development of early human embryos]

By using the b2 fragment of Quox-1 gene as probe, we have confirmed that the Quox-1 gene homologous sequence exists in the human genome according to the results of Southern blot. Studies on the expression of Quox-1 homologous sequence in early human embryos from 26 to 37 days by means of immunohistochemistry technigue with Quox-1 protein antibodies showed the spatiotemporal expression patterns: in 26 days embryo Quox-1 homologous sequence was expressed in many places including neural tube, but 30 days later, tits expression sites were limited to notochord, digestive epithelium, myotome, cardiac muscle cell and periderm. The functions in control and regulation of Quox-1 gene homologous sequence during the early development of human embryo were discussed.
