鸡输卵管上皮细胞瞬时表达系统

在开发利用生物反应器生产特定蛋白的研究中,若先用特异组织作原代培养,建立瞬时表达系统,对特定调控元件和融合基因进行分析,可大大缩短研究进程。本文首次报道用鸡输卵管上皮细胞原代培养,建立瞬时表达系统的方法。输卵管细胞体外培养（Fig.1-3),在二,三周时间内仍然保持分泌卵清蛋白的功能,当分泌功能减弱时,若地培液中添加激素,一般一周后大部分细胞又可恢复分泌功能（Fig.4),由于卵清蛋白是一种分泌蛋白,通过斑点免疫渗滤法可迅速简便的从培液中检测到（Fig.4)。为 验证培养细胞能否表达外源基因,在原代培养细胞中转染绿色荧光蛋白基因,可在细胞浆中显示绿色荧光（Fig.5)。说明这是一个有效而又方便的检测调控元件的瞬时表达系统。     

鸡卵清蛋白基因启动子调控GFP基因在鸡原代输卵管上皮细胞和中国仓鼠卵巢细胞的表达

特异性扩增家鸡卵清蛋白基因上游调控序列 1340bp～ +16 5 5bp片段和第一内含子 +49bp～ +16 5 5bp片段 ,去除pG FP N2载体自身的CMV启动子 ,分别构建了P_2.9koval GFP和P_1.5koval GFP两种表达载体 ,经测序和酶切鉴定表达载体构建正确。采用脂质体转染法分别将这两种载体、pGFP N2 (阳性对照 )质粒及阴性对照转染鸡原代输卵管上皮细胞和中国仓鼠卵巢细胞。用荧光倒置显微镜观测绿色荧光蛋白的表达。结果表明 :两种表达质粒在鸡原代输卵管上皮细胞和中国仓鼠卵巢细胞中都可以表达荧光蛋白。结果既显示卵清蛋白第一内含子对基因的表达起到一定的调控作用 ,也显示卵清蛋白启动子对输卵管上皮细胞和卵巢细胞不存在特异性 ,并且不存在种属差异性。     

转基因鸡生物反应器载体的构建及其表达特性分析

以增强型绿色荧光蛋白和萤火虫荧光素酶为报告基因,构建了鸡卵清蛋白启动子表达载体和慢病毒载体,以巨细胞病毒 (Cytomegalovirus,CMV)启动子表达载体为对照,转染或感染鸡原代输卵管上皮细胞、鸡胚成纤维细胞、鼠3T3-L1前脂肪细胞和牛乳腺上皮细胞,通过荧光和酶活性检测,旨在筛选出用于实现转基因鸡生物反应器的高效特异性表达载体。结果发现,鸡卵清蛋白启动子表达载体转染以上4种细胞后2种标记基因均有表达,没有表现出明显的细胞特异性,且荧光素酶检测结果表明其在各细胞组中表达活性都低于CMV启动子表达载体100倍以上;慢病毒载体感染以上4种细胞后2种标记基因均有表达,在鸡输卵管上皮细胞组感染单个细胞的病毒颗粒 (Multiplicity of infection,MOI) 为20时绿色荧光蛋白表达量就可以达到CMV启动子表达载体的水平。上述结果表明,基于卵清蛋白基因调控序列构建的表达载体无法实现外源基因的高效、特异性表达,而慢病毒载体在表达活性和广泛性上可以用于进行鸡输卵管生物反应器的研究。     

HeLa细胞表达分泌重组eGFP—DPF-1在卵母细胞上的定位

将兔输卵管蛋白(DPF-1)基因连结于增强型绿色荧光蛋白(eGFP)基因5′端,构建了真核表达重组质粒(pEGFP-N1／DPF-1),转染HeLa细胞,获得稳定表达分泌融合蛋白eGFP—DPF-1的HeLa细胞株。该融合蛋白呈现的分子量达120KD,提示经翻译后修饰。取兔卵母细胞-卵丘细胞复合物(COC)、去除卵丘细胞后的卵母细胞或输卵管内的卵母细胞,与该株细胞共培养或培养于该株细胞条件培液中,观察兔输卵管蛋白在兔卵母细胞上的分布。结果显示DPF-1大量结合于卵母细胞透明带,先结合于透明带内层,然后维持在内层多外层少的分布状态上;在卵母细胞质膜表面则呈点状均匀分布。DPF-1在卵母细胞上的分布不受其周围颗粒细胞的阻碍,且颗粒细胞上未见有DPF-1结合的痕迹。本实验首次证实体外真核细胞表达分泌的输卵管蛋白能与卵母细胞结合,并借助绿色荧光蛋白作为示踪信号体外直接观察到该表达产物在卵母细胞上的动态分布,为进一步深入分析输卵管蛋白的功能提供了线索,也为研究输卵管内其他蛋白在配子／早胚上定位提供了可行的办法。

鸡输卵管上皮细胞体外分离培养的研究

鸡输卵管上皮细胞是卵清蛋白的主要分泌细胞,是研究输卵管特异表达蛋白调控的重要工具。在以往的研究中,多采用普通DMEM培养液对鸡输卵管上皮细胞进行分离与培养,容易造成其自身特性在体外培养过程中的改变。本研究我们优化了细胞分离方法,发现从输卵管漏斗部组织分离的输卵管上皮细胞增殖较快;用鸡输卵管上皮细胞培养基相比DMEM更适合促进细胞生长;与胰酶相比,用Accutase消化酶进行细胞传代,有利于输卵管上皮细胞特性维持。对所获得的输卵管上皮细胞鉴定发现,己烯雌酚能促进卵清蛋白的表达,说明分离培养的细胞保持了鸡输卵管上皮细胞特性。本研究建立的方法为输卵管特异表达蛋白调控以及家禽生物反应器的研究奠定了基础。     

酿酒酵母基因组位置效应对外源基因表达的影响

外源基因元件和模块在底盘细胞中发挥特定功能是合成生物学研究的基本过程,而外源元件和模块在基因组中的位置对其功能的实现具有显著影响。为了系统、全面地表征酿酒酵母基因组位置效应对外源基因的表达影响,以绿色荧光蛋白为报告基因,通过双交换同源重组方法,对酿酒酵母单基因敲除库进行高通量转化,构建酿酒酵母基因组单位点荧光标记菌株库。结合流式细胞术和高通量测序技术对单位点荧光标记库菌株进行分析,构建高表达位点库和低表达位点库,共发现促进绿色荧光蛋白表达的位点428个,抑制绿色荧光蛋白表达的位点444个。通过分析高、低表达位点在酵母染色体上的分布,从全基因组尺度上对酿酒酵母基因组整合位置对基因表达的影响进行表征。本研究可为酿酒酵母基因组位置效应的分布规律和产生机理研究提供重要参考,对外源蛋白工业生产和合成生物学中的基因表达精细调控也具有重要的指导意义。

Characterization of newly established clonal oviductal cell lines and differential hormonal reculation of gene expression

Summary Oviductal functions have been studied mainly in primary epithelial cell culture and organ culture. However, secretory cells and ciliated cells coexist in the epithelium, and the small size of the oviduct limits the sources of both epithelial and stromal cells. To circumvent the limits, we attempted to establish clonal cell lines from an oviduct of a p53-deficient mouse. An oviduct was enzymatically digested and cultured in medium containing 10% fetal calf serum supplemented with estradiol-17β. Morphologically distinct clones (10 epithelial and 4 fibroblastic clones) were established, and all clones expressed estrogen receptor α and progesterone receptor. Expression of a mouse oviduct-specific glycoprotein gene as a marker of secretory cells was limited in one clone and was stimulated by estrogens and suppressed by progesterone. Expression of helix factor hepatocyte nuclear factor/forkhead homologue-4 gene as a marker of ciliated cells was limited in two clones and was suppressed by estrogens. The two genes were never coexpressed in any clones. The results strongly suggest that the oviductal epithelium consists of two functionally determined populations. To our knowledge, this is the first establishment of functional clonal cell lines of the oviduct and makes it possible to study independently two oviductal functions, secretion and ciliogenesis.     

Long-term culture of primary porcine oviduct epithelial cells: Validation of a comprehensive in vitro model for reproductive science

Recently, we established a protocol for the cultivation of primary porcine oviduct epithelial cells (POEC), which promoted tissue-like morphology for a prolonged culture period. The present study focuses on developing this model into a comprehensive, standardized culture system, as a candidate tool for reproductive toxicity testing and basic research. We cultivated POEC isolated from 25 animals in our culture system for both 3 and 6 weeks and systematically analyzed effects of medium conditioning, supplementation with standardized sera, and culture duration in both freshly isolated and cryopreserved cells. The differentiation status was evaluated via histomorphometry, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement, and expression analyses. The culture system possessed high reproducibility, more than 95% of cultures achieved a fully differentiated phenotype. Cells recapitulated in vivo–like morphology and ultrastructure from 3 to 6 weeks. Cryopreservation of the cells prior to cultivation did not affect culture quality of POEC. Employment of conditioned medium ensured optimal promotion of POEC differentiation, and different standardized sera induced fully differentiated phenotypes. Consistent TEER establishment indicated the presence and maintenance of cell type–specific intercellular junctions. The functionality of POEC was proven by consistent mucin secretion and stable expression of selected markers over the whole culture duration. We conclude that POEC are suitable for experiments from 3 weeks up to at least 6 weeks of culture. Therefore, this culture system could be used for in vitro estrous cycle simulation and long-term investigation of toxic effects on oviduct epithelium.

Human alkaline phosphatase expression and secretion into chicken eggs after in vivo gene electroporation in the oviduct of laying hens

In vivo gene electroporation was used to examine whether or not a recombinant protein is synthesized in the chicken oviduct and subsequently secreted into eggs. A plasmid DNA containing a secretion form of the human alkaline phosphatase gene was injected into mucosa of the chicken magnum. Immediately, in vivo gene electroporation was conducted. The human alkaline phosphatase activity in the oviduct mucosa increased and reached its peak at 2 days posttransfection, followed by a sharp decrease to a negligible level at 4 days posttransfection. In the egg white, the alkaline phosphatase activity showed a similar change to that in the magnum mucosa except for a delay of 4 days. The present results imply that in vivo gene electroporation method in the oviduct may serve as a rapid production system of recombinant proteins into chicken eggs.     

Establishment and characterization of an adherent pure epithelial cell line derived from the bovine oviduct

The oviduct in vivo has to perform various tasks: maturation and transport of the gametes, milieu preparation for fertilization and embryonic development, and transport of the embryo. The complex arrangement of endocrine and paracrine signals being exchanged between the early embryo and the inner cell layers of the oviduct is barely understood. Therefore, a reproducible, well-characterized oviduct epithelial cell line as well as an optimized transfection protocol for DNA vectors and siRNA for this cell line has been established. A bovine oviduct primary cell culture system has been optimized using a selection medium permitting the survival of only epithelial cells. From this we established an adherent bovine oviduct pure epithelial cell line (aBOPEC-1). This cell line maintains some important characteristics of the primary cells such as the expression of estrogen receptors and p450 aromatase but it lacks some characteristics due to the selection and dedifferentiation processes (cilia, expression of progesterone receptor and oviduct specific glycoprotein-1). Optimization of the transfection protocols finally revealed a suitable DNA-transfection procedure yielding transfection efficiencies of over 50%. Additionally, siRNA transfection efficiency reached more than 90%. This new cell line builds an essential basis especially for future functional studies in the oviduct epithelium using distinct knock down experiments.
