大鼠骨组织内一些细胞因子和胶原蛋白基因的表达与雌激素和年龄有关

三月龄SD大鼠30只,分三组:卵巢切除组(OVX)、假手术组和卵巢切除后补充雌二醇组;每组10只,术后一月和三月每组分别各取五只。提取长骨骨组织mRNA,反转录为单链cDNA探针,以持家基因(gapdh)为内对照,针对多种胶原和细胞因子基因进行反向North-ern杂交和反向点杂交。大鼠骨组织中,colIα(1)、col Iα(2)和col Ⅲ的表达与年龄有关,与卵巢切除无关;但补充外源雌二醇可严重抑制col Ⅲ和colⅠα(2)的表达。col、Ⅴ、IL-1和IL-6的表达受雌激素抑制,切除卵巢后抑制作用消失,而补充雌二醇后它们的表达又降至正常水平。TGF-β的表达也受雌激素抑制,但雌激素的影响还与年龄有关;卵巢切除后一个月TGF-β表达增加,补充外源雌二醇后表达有所降低;但是卵巢切除三个月后的大鼠TGF-β表达的这一变化不明显。本实验为进一步研究安全可靠的骨质疏松治疗方法打下基础。

30 female SD rats (3 months old) are equally divided into three groups: ovariectomy (OVX) rats, sham-operated (SHO) rats and 17 beta estradiol (E2) treated OVX rats. For each group, mRNA was isolated from long bone at one month and three months after surgery, respectively. mRNA was reverse transcribed into single strand cDNA and then used as a probe hybridizing to the DNA fragments of col I alpha(1), col I alpha(2), col III, col V, fibronectin, IL-1, IL-6, TGF-beta, LIF, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta by reverse northern and dot blot hybrization. The housekeeping gene, gapdh, was used as an internal control. The results show that in bone of rat, the stable expression of col I alpha (1), col I alpha(2) and col III are related to age not ovariectomy, while supplement with E2 can inhibit the expression of col III and col I alpha(2) completely. The expression of col V, IL-1, IL-6 can be inhibited by estrogen and recovered by removal of estrogen by OVX, then addition of E2 decreased it to the normal level. The expression of TGF-beta is also inhibited by estrogen. It increased during one month after overiectomy, and partially decreased in E2 complemented rat. Three months after surgery, the level of increasing and decreasing is less evident as two months ago. It seems that in young SD rat, the expression of TGF-beta is related to both estrogen and age.
