为了研究盐度10条件下中华鲟幼鱼鳃丝Na+,K+-ATPase(NKA)α亚基的分子调节机制,采用克隆方法得到中华鲟幼鱼鳃丝NKAα亚基部分基因序列,在鲟鱼转移后3,6,12,24,48,72和96 h检测实验组(淡水-盐水)和对照组(淡水-淡水)中华鲟幼鱼鳃丝NKAα亚基的mRNA表达水平、鳃丝NKA活性、血清Na+、Cl-的浓度和渗透压。结果显示,在转移后0~12 h,实验组中的mRNA表达量与酶活性为适应盐度变化而显著增加(P〈0.05),离子浓度和渗透压均显著上升(P〈0.05);在转移后12~24 h,mRNA表达和酶活性开始降低到一个较低值,但仍然显著高于对照组的值(P〈0.05),离子﹑渗透压的变化与酶活性及mRNA变化趋势一致,这表明中华鲟鳃丝NKA在应对盐度变化时通过改变mRNA表达量来增加酶活性,高活性NKA调节血清离子和渗透压平衡。
In order to explore the molecular regulation mechanism of Na + , K + -ATPase (NKA) α-subunit in gills of juvenile Chinese sturgeon at salinity 10, partial NKA α-subunit gene sequence was cloned, and the abundance of α-subunit mRNA,NKA activity, ion concentration and osmolality were examined at 3,6,12, 24,48,72,96 hours post-transfer. Results showed that:in experimental group( fresh water-salinity water ,FW- SW) ,the expression of NKA α-subunit mRNA and NKA activity increased significantly ( P 〈 0.05 ) during the adaptation phase (0 -12 h), and the concentration of Na + , C1-and osmolality rose to a maximum level at 12 h post-transfer. In regulatory phase( 12 -24 h),the amounts of NKA α-subunit mRNA and NKA activity fell to a relatively lower level which was still higher than that of fish in control group (P 〈 0.05 ). The change both in ion concentration and osmolality were in accordance with the change of NKA and mRNA expression. In conclusion, gill Na + , K + -ATPase in Chinese sturgeon plays an important role in osmolality regulation by changing α-subunit mRNA expression. The different α-subunit mRNA expression can lead to the variation of enzyme activity which can further regulate the ion concentration and osmolality.
