目的:检测小鼠海马组织中是否存在SIRT1选择性剪接变异体SIRT1-ΔExon8及其mRNA在幼龄和老龄小鼠海马组织的表达水平。方法:选取10只50 d(幼龄)和10只12个月龄(老龄)雄性昆明(KM)小鼠,分别提取海马组织的RNA并进行反转录及PCR,通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测海马组织中的SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA;采用Real-time PCR(RT-PCR)技术检测SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA的表达。结果:幼龄和老龄小鼠海马组织均检测到SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA;与幼龄组相比,老龄组小鼠SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA表达增加。结论:老龄小鼠海马组织的SIRT1选择性剪接变异体SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA较幼龄小鼠的表达增加,因此SIRT1-ΔExon8可能参与了衰老的发生,提示通过调控SIRT1-ΔExon8的表达可能会延缓机体的衰老。
Objective:To detect whether existence of SIRT1 alternatively spliced variants SIRT1-ΔExon8 and its mRNA expression level in young and aged mice hippocampus.Method:A total of 10 cases of 50 days(young)and 10 cases of 12 age(aging)Kunming( KM) male mice were selected,reverse transcription and PCR were carried by extracting RNA from the hippocampus tissue,SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA in hippocampus tissue were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis and SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA expression were detected by Real-time PCR( RT-PCR) technology.Result:Young and aging mice hippocampus tissue all detected SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA. Compared with the young group,SIRT1-ΔExon8 increased expression of mRNA in aging mice.Conclusion:SIRT1 alternative splicing variant of SIRT1-ΔExon8 mRNA expression in aged mice hippocampus tissue is increased than young mice,thus SIRT1-ΔExon8 may be involved in the occurrence of aging,point out regulating the expression of SIRT1-ΔExon8 may delay aging.
