摘要
目的制备地高辛(digoxigenin,DIG)标记的Nkx2. 1基因RNA探针,用于小鼠胚胎早期神经管发育关键时期Nkx2. 1基因表达的检测。方法巢式PCR法扩增Nkx2. 1基因,将其克隆至pGEM-T载体;以其为模板,通过Nkx2. 1特异性引物,PCR扩增RNA探针转录模板;采用T7 RNA聚合酶,制备DIG标记的正义、反义Nkx2. 1 RNA原位杂交探针。经全胚胎原位杂交(whole-mount in situ hybridization,WM-ISH)技术分析胚胎8. 5、9. 5、10. 5 d小鼠体内Nkx2. 1基因的表达情况。结果制备的探针浓度为1 521. 986 ng/mL,纯度A260/280=2. 39。Nkx2. 1基因反义探针能高效检测到Nkx2. 1基因在胚胎8. 5、9. 5及10. 5 d小鼠神经系统中表达,正义探针未能检测到表达信号。结论成功制备了特异高效的DIG标记的Nkx2. 1基因RNA原位杂交探针,为进一步研究Nkx2. 1基因在小鼠胚胎组织中的表达,探索其在神经管发育中的作用机制奠定了基础。
Objective To prepare digoxin(DIG)-labeled Nkx2. 1 gene RNA probe and apply to the determination of expression of Nkx2. 1 gene at the key stage of early neural tube development in mouse embryos. Methods Nkx2. 1 gene was amplified by nested PCR and cloned into vector pGEM-T. The constructed recombinant plasmid was used as a template for amplification of transcription template of RNA probe by PCR using Nkx2. 1 specific primers. The DIG-labeled sense and antisense Nkx2. 1 RNA in situ hybridization probes were prepared with T7 RNA polymerase. The expressions of Nkx2. 1 gene in mouse embryos at ages of 8. 5,9. 5 and 10. 5 d were analyzed whole-mount in situ hybridization(WMISH). Results The concentration and purity(A260/280) of the prepared probe were 1 521. 986 ng/m L and 2. 39 respectively. The expression of Nkx2. 1 gene was effectively detected in the mouse embryos at ages of 8. 5,9. 5 and 10. 5 d by Dig-labeled antisense Nkx2. 1 probe,but not detected by the sense probe. Conclusion Specific and effective DIG-labeled Nkx2. 1 gene RNA in situ hybridization probe was prepared successfully,which laid a foundation of further research of Nkx2. 1 expression in the mouse embryo tissue and the mechanism of the gene in neural tube development.
