为探讨外源基因人基质金属蛋白酶组织抑制物-1(human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1,hTIMP-1)基因在转基因小鼠家系染色体上的整合和精确定位,应用Southern印迹检测外源基因在染色体上整合的位点及拷贝数,结果表明,外源基因是以单拷贝、单位点形式整合;应用荧光原位杂交(fluorescence in situ hybridization,FISH)技术检测F4~F20代转基因小鼠中外源基因的整合.结果证明,该家系转基因小鼠自F4代起是纯合子,外源基因整合在17号染色体E区;反向PCR法(Inverse PCR,IPCR)克隆出约3.8kb外源基因整合位点处的侧翼序列.分析表明,外源基因整合在17号染色体E1.3区,ALK(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK)基因第23个内含子区域、结果提示,获得的转基因小鼠为纯系,外源基因hTIMP-1已稳定整合在转基因小鼠染色体上,并能遗传给后代.
To study the integration and exact location of human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (hTIMP-1) gene on chromosomes of transgenic mice line, the numbers of integration sites and copies of hTIMP-1 were detected by Southern blotting. The result confirmed that the foreign gene was integrated into the transgenic mice chromosomes in a manner of single copy and single locus. Then fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to determine the integration of hTIMP-1 on chromosomes of transgenic mice from F4 to F20 generation, which showed that this transgenic mice line was homozygous from F4 and the hTIMP-1 gene was integrated into Chr 17 E. The 3.8 kb flanking sequence of integration site of hTIMP-1 on transgenic mice chromosomes was cloned by inverse PCR (IPCR). Further analysis showed that hTIMP-1 was integrated into Chr 17 El. 3 on the 23rd intron region of anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene with 20 kb being eliminated in this intron. These results indicated that the transgenic mice line was homozygous,with hTIMP-1 integrated stably into the chromosomes, and could be transmitted from founder to offsprings.
