Expression of four reference genes of grass carp, including β-actin (ACTB), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), 18S rRNA (18S) and elongation factor-1 alpha (EF1α), was studied in tissues of normal individuals and bacteria-infected individuals. EF1α had the most stable expressions followed by 18S rRNA then GAPDH; ACTB had the least stability. After being infected with bacteria, the grass carp showed minimal changes in expression levels of EF1α in the liver and head kidney, while ACTB had the most stable expressions in spleen but the least stable in liver. EF1α is thus the optimal reference gene in quantitative real-time PCR analysis to quantitate the expression levels of target genes in tissues of grass carp. 相似文献

Eels are important aquaculture species for which an increasing number of reference genes are being identified and applied. In this study, five housekeeping genes [RPL7 (ribosomal protein L7), 18 S (18 S ribosomal RNA), EF1A (elongation factor 1α), ACTB (β-actin) and GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase)] were chosen to evaluate their reliability as reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) for the study of Anguilla anguilla. The expression of the selected genes in different eel tissues was determined using qPCR at different growth stages or upon challenge by Anguillid herpesvirus (AngHV), and the expression levels of these genes were then compared and evaluated using the geNorm and NormFinder algorithms. Then, RefFinder was used to comprehensively rank the examined housekeeping genes. Interestingly, the expression of the evaluated housekeeping genes exhibited tissue-dependent and treatment-dependent variations. In different growth periods A. anguilla tissues, the most stable genes were the following: ACTB in mucus; 18 S in skin and kidney; RPL7 in muscle, gill, intestine and brain; EF1A in heart and liver; and GAPDH in spleen. In contrast, in AngHV-challenged A. anguilla tissues, the most stable genes were the following: 18 S in mucus; RPL7 in skin, gill, heart, spleen, kidney and intestine; EF1A in muscle and liver; and ACTB in brain. Further comparison analysis indicated that the expression of RPL7 and EF1A was stable in multiple A. anguilla tissues in different growth periods and in eels challenged by AngHV. Nonetheless, the expression level of GAPDH in eel tissues was lower, and it was unstable in several tissues. These results indicated that the selection of reference genes for qPCR analysis in A. anguilla should be made in accordance with experimental parameters, and both RPL7 and EF1A could be used as reference genes for qPCR study of A. anguilla at different growth stages or upon challenge by AngHV. The reference genes identified in this study could improve the accuracy of qPCR data and facilitate further studies aimed at understanding the biology of eels. 相似文献

l-Gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase (GULO) is a key enzyme for the biosynthesis of ascorbate, which is essential for several cellular functions. In the present study, mRNA expression of GULO gene was evaluated during the early development of Persian sturgeon. First, because there are no comparative studies that have established suitable quantitative real-time PCR reference genes in sturgeons for any physiological conditions, we evaluated six candidate reference genes (ACTB, RPL13, UBQ, RPL6, GAPDH and EF1A) during the early development of Persian sturgeon. The most stable mRNA expression was obtained with RPL6 and ACTB, whereas the least stable was RPL13. After normalization using RPL6, ACTB and RPL6/ACTB combination, the mRNA expression of GULO was highest at the embryonic stage (2days before hatching; P<0.05) and started to decline from hatching of larvae to the rest of the developmental time-points. This suggests that the vitamin C requirements are highest during early life stages, and it is likely that the changes in GULO mRNA expression are associated with changes in GULO enzyme activity. 相似文献

Reference genes are commonly used for normalization of target gene expression during RT-qPCR analysis. However, no housekeeping genes or reference genes have been identified to be stable across different tissue types or under different experimental conditions. To identify the most suitable reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis of target gene expression in the hepatopancreas of crucian carp (Carassius auratus) under various conditions (sex, age, water temperature, and drug treatments), seven reference genes, including beta actin (ACTB), beta-2 microglobulin (B2M), embryonic elongation factor-1 alpha (EEF1A), glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), alpha tubulin (TUBA), ribosomal protein l8 (RPL8) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), were evaluated in this study. The stability and ranking of gene expression were analyzed using three different statistical programs: GeNorm, Normfinder and Bestkeeper. The expression errors associated with selection of the genes were assessed by the relative quantity of CYP4T. The results indicated that all the seven genes exhibited variability under the experimental conditions of this research, and the combination of ACTB/TUBA/EEF1A or of ACTB/EEF1A was the best candidate that raised the accuracy of quantitative analysis of gene expression. The findings highlighted the importance of validation of housekeeping genes for research on gene expression under different conditions of experiment and species. 相似文献

Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a powerful and reproducible method of gene expression analysis in which expression levels are quantified by normalization against reference genes. Therefore, to investigate the potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for epithelial ovarian cancer by qPCR, it is critical to identify stable reference genes. In this study, twelve housekeeping genes (ACTB, GAPDH, 18S rRNA, GUSB, PPIA, PBGD, PUM1, TBP, HRPT1, RPLP0, RPL13A, and B2M) were analyzed in 50 ovarian samples from normal, benign, borderline, and malignant tissues. For reliable results, laser microdissection (LMD), an effective technique used to prepare homogeneous starting material, was utilized to precisely excise target tissues or cells. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and nonparametric (Kruskal-Wallis) tests were used to compare the expression differences. NormFinder and geNorm software were employed to further validate the suitability and stability of the candidate genes. Results showed that epithelial cells occupied a small percentage of the normal ovary indeed. The expression of ACTB, PPIA, RPL13A, RPLP0, and TBP were stable independent of the disease progression. In addition, NormFinder and geNorm identified the most stable combination (ACTB, PPIA, RPLP0, and TBP) and the relatively unstable reference gene GAPDH from the twelve commonly used housekeeping genes. Our results highlight the use of homogeneous ovarian tissues and multiple-reference normalization strategy, e.g. the combination of ACTB, PPIA, RPLP0, and TBP, for qPCR in epithelial ovarian tissues, whereas GAPDH, the most commonly used reference gene, is not recommended, especially as a single reference gene. 相似文献

Amphioxus is a well-known model organism widely used for interspecies comparative genome study, developmental homology analysis and comparative immunological investigation. However, no study has been performed so far to evaluate the internal reference for quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) studies of gene expression in this important species. In this study, two software applications (geNorm and NormFinder) were used to evaluate the expression stability of 4 housekeeping genes (ACTB, GAPDH, 18S rRNA and EF1α) in 8 different normal tissues (whole body, gut, gut-free body, hepatic caecum, gill, hind-gut, notochord and muscle) and 2 tissues (gut and gut-free body) challenged with LPS and LTA in amphioxus Branchiostoma japonicum. Our results showed that in the normal tissues, the expression of 18S rRNA was most abundant, whereas the expression levels of the other three genes were close to each other, with the expression of ACTB being most unstable. Following challenge with LPS and LTA, all the four genes exhibited varied degrees of expression changes in the different tissues and the expression stabilities of the genes were also affected by the different experimental conditions. Yet, the overall ranking results produced by the two algorithms consistently indicated that the expression of EF1α showed the most least variation in the different tissues, suggesting that EF1α is a suitable internal control for qRT-PCR studies in amphioxus B. japonicum. 相似文献

The activity of some enzymes involved in energy and carbohydrate metabolism was studied in Atlantic salmon embryos at the eyed egg stage and in salmon fingerlings (0+) from two trophic–ecological groups: the Varzuga River bed and two tributaries, the Pyatka and Sobachii rivers (Kola Peninsula). It has been demonstrated that heterogeneity of embryos was most evident in the case of cytochrome c oxidase (CO), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (G1PDH), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), while the lowest level of heterogeneity was observed for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and aldolase. A positive correlation was revealed between the activities of CO, LDH, MDH, and G1PDH. It was noted that G6PDH showed a negative correlation with almost all enzymes under study. It was found that salmon juveniles inhabiting the tributaries were characterized by high LDH, aldolase, and G1PDH activity and lower activity of G6PDH compared to the juveniles inhabiting the main river bed. Notably, the differences in the activity of the enzymes involved in aerobic metabolism between the two groups of fingerlings under analysis were observed only in the autumn. 相似文献

Selection of optimal reference genes for quantitative RT-PCR studies of boar spermatozoa cryopreservation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Reference genes can be used to normalize mRNA levels across different samples for the exact comparison of the mRNA expression level. It is important to select reference genes with high quality for the accurate interpretation of qRT-PCR data. Although several studies have attempted to validate reference genes in pigs, no validation studies have been performed on spermatozoa samples frozen with different cryoprotectants. In this study, 11 commonly used reference genes (ACTB, B2M, GAPDH, HPRT1, RPL4, SDHA, YWHAZ, PPIA, PGK1, S18, and BLM) were investigated in boar spermatozoa frozen with six different cryoprotectants using qRT-PCR. The expression stability of these reference genes in different samples was evaluated using geNorm (qbaseplus software), NormFinder, and BestKeeper. The geNorm results revealed that PGK1, ACTB, and RPL4 exhibit high expression stability in all of the samples, and the NormFinder results indicated that GAPDH is the most stable gene. Furthermore, the BestKeeper results indicated that the three most stable genes are PPIA, GAPDH, and RPL4 and that S18, B2M and BLM are the three least stable genes. There are a number of differences in the ranking order of the reference genes obtained using the different algorithms. In conclusion, GAPDH, RPL4, and PPIA were the three most stable genes in frozen boar spermatozoa, as determined based on the cycle threshold coefficient of variation (Ct CV%) and the comprehensive ranking order, and this finding is consistent with the BestKeeper results 相似文献

Gene expression analysis requires the use of reference genes consistently expressed under various conditions. In many cases, however, the commonly used reference genes are not uniformly expressed independently of tissues or environmental conditions. To provide a set of reliable reference genes in pigs, we used quantitative polymerase chain reaction to examine expression of six common reference genes (GAPDH, ACTB, H3F3A, HPRT1, RPL32, and RPS18) in adult tissues and prenatal skeletal muscles at 33, 65, and 90 days postcopulation from Tongcheng (obese-type) and Landrace (lean-type) pigs. The expression stability of these reference genes was evaluated by NormFinder, BestKeeper, and geNorm methods. Our data suggest that the reference genes were expressed variably in different tissues, developmental stages and breeds. RPS18, PRL32, and H3F3A could be used as internal controls to normalize gene expression in pig tissues and developmental skeletal muscle. The combination of internal control genes was necessary for accurate expression normalization. During skeletal muscle development, H3F3A and RPS18 would be the most appropriate combination to normalize gene expression in Tongcheng pigs, whereas the combination of PRL32 and RPS18 would be more suitable in Landrace pigs. In different tissues, the expression of PRL32 and RPS18 was the most consistent, and the combination of three genes (RPL32, RPS18, and H3F3A) is the most suitable for accurate normalization. 相似文献

Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata is one of the most serious defoliates attacking potatoes. However, studies on functional genes have greatly been limited due to the insufficiency of effective and stable endogenous references to normalize RT-qPCR data. In this report, nine housekeeping genes (RPL4, RPL6, RPL13, RPL32, RPS18, ACT, EF1α, GAPDH and α-TUB) involved in different biological processes were selected. Their expression levels under diverse experimental conditions including developmental stages, tissues, temperatures and host plants were determined using RT-qPCR technology. The tested candidate genes were comprehensively ranked based on five alternative stability analysis methods (Ct value, geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and ReFinder). The results revealed that the optimal internal reference genes varied under different experimental conditions. Any gene pair among the five candidates (RPL4, RPL13, RPL32, RPS18 and EF1α) was a suitable reference gene set under different temperatures and on different host plants. A combination of RPL6 and RPL13 was recommended as the best reference gene set across different developmental stages. A pair of RPS18 and EF1α was ranked as the optimal reference gene combination within different tissues. The most suitable reference genes were RPS18 and RPL13 under four different experimental conditions. Our findings not only establish an accurate and reliable normalization of RT-qPCR data, but also lay a solid foundation for further functional gene researches in H. vigintioctomaculata. 相似文献

The changes in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) (EC 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) (EC 1.1.1.44) in leaf tissues and the subcellular localisation of their isozymes in protoplasts derived from healthy and potato virus Y (PVY) infected plants of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun were determined. The activities of G6PDH and 6PGDH were markedly increased in virus-infected leaves during the acute phase of infection both in crude homogenate and partial purificate (when compared with the values found in healthy control plants) and correlated with the multiplication curve of PVY. Intact chloroplasts and soluble cytosolic proteins were obtained from whole plants upon the culmination of the multiplication curve of PVY and upon the enhancement of the activity of both dehydrogenases by means of differential centrifugation of broken protoplasts. The chloroplastic fraction from infected protoplasts (based on chlorophyll content or NADP+-triosephosphate dehydrogenase activity) showed an enhanced activity of G6PDH (1.81 times that of healthy protoplasts), and 6PGDH (1.77 times). Cytosol from infected protoplasts (based on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity) contained only slightly enhanced activities of G6PDH and 6PGDH (only 1.26 and 1.16 times, respectively). 相似文献

White-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys leucurus) are spontaneous hibernators that enter torpor each fall, whereas black-tailed prairie dogs (C. ludovicianus) hibernate facultatively only when food- or water-stressed during the winter. The body masses of both species greatly increase during the fall feeding period, with most of this gain in the form of depot fat. Body fat is utilized during winter fasting and/or hibernation. We measured the activities of fatty acid synthase (FAS), ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), malic enzyme (ME), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in the tissues of both C.leucurus (hibernating and euthermic) and C. ludovicianus (euthermic only) under controlled conditions. The activities of FAS, ACL, and G6PDH in the liver all decreased during hibernation. The activities of ME and G6PDH in white adipose tissue (WAT) were also reduced during hibernation. Euthermic C. leucurus and euthermic C. ludovicianus differed only in brown adipose (BAT) ACL and WAT G6PDH activities. No significant differences in HSL activities were found between these two species or between euthermic and hibernating animals. These results suggest that this seasonal body fat cycle is due, at least in part, to seasonal variations in the activities of FAS, ME, ACL, and G6PDH that affect the rate of fatty acid synthesis. This study also demonstrates that spontaneous hibernators do not have a greater capacity to synthesize fatty acids during the fall than facultative hibernators, as previously suggested. 相似文献
