Case-Control研究表明,人线粒体基因(mtDNA)D-Loop区mt235、mt514—515、natl6183、mtl6290和mtl6319多态位点与有氧运动能力有关。拟从下游基因表达做进一步的研究,以探讨上述多态位点的分子调控机理。方法:采用全基因组合成法合成包含上述多态位点的DNA序列,分别连接到pGL3一promoter载体构建重组质粒,将重组质粒转染至293T细胞,观察携带5对mtDNA质粒对下游双荧光素酶报告基因的表达及荧光素酶mR—NA表达的影响。结果:携带rot235A、mt514—515CA、mtl6183A和mtl6319G的载体转染细胞的双荧光素酶基因表达量显著高于mt235G、mt514—515Del、mtl6183C和mtl6319A(P〈0.01);携带mtl6290两种基因型的质粒转染细胞报告基因表达没有明显差异。与pGL3-promoter载体相比,携带mtl6319A的质粒转染细胞荧光素酶mRNA极显著下降(P〈0.01),携带mtl6290位点的两种质粒对报告基因mRNA的影响没有差异。结论:mt235、mi514—515、mtl6183和mtl6319多态位点影响荧光素酶基因表达,mt235A、rot514—515CA和mtl6183A上调基因转录和翻译,mtl6319A下调基因转录。这些基因表达上的差异可能是影响人有氧运动能力的重要调控因素。
Objective : The gene expression differences between variants of mt 235, mt 514- 515, mt16183 ,mt16290 and mt16319 correlated with enduance performance in human mtDNA D- Loop region were studied. Methods:The gene sequences contained above loci were synthesized respectively,and then constructed with pGL3-promoter vector. The vectors were transfected into 293T cells, and the expression activity and mRNA of the reporter gene in the recombinant expression vectors with different alleles were detected by a dual-luciferase reporter assay system and RT-PCR. Results: Higher relative luciferase activities were detected significantly in vectors containing mt235A, mtS14-515CA, mt16183A and mt16319G than mt235G, mt514- 515Del, mt16183C and mt16319A(P~0.01). There was no effect for reporter gene expres- sion in vectors containing mt 16290 locus. Compared with pGL3-promoter, luciferase gene mRNA level of transfected pGL3-16319 A cell was decreased significantly, but no differences between vectors contained mt16290. Conclusion: The variation of mt235A, mt514-515CA and ml 16183 A can up-regulate the gene transcription and expression in this study, maybe affecting the gene function, mt16319A can down-regulate the gene transcription. The gene expression differences maybe are the important regulated factors.
