摘要:

猪类嗜乳脂蛋白5(Btnl5)属于嗜乳脂蛋白家族,其同源蛋白多为免疫调节蛋白,为探索Btnl5的序列特征及其功能,利用反转录PCR(RT-PCR)和cDNA末端快速扩增(RACE)技术对Btnl5基因cDNA全长进行克隆及序列分析,采用定量PCR技术检测Btnl5在猪不同组织中的表达丰度,利用报告基因法检测Btnl5对NF-κB信号通路的影响。克隆得到Btnl5基因cDNA全长共3 334 bp,包含1 680 bp的开放读码框,可编码长度为559个氨基酸残基的多肽链。蛋白结构预测表明Btnl5编码的蛋白含有信号肽、两段免疫球蛋白结构域、跨膜结构域和B30.2结构域。定量PCR分析表明,在检测的11个组织中,Btnl5只在空肠中具有较高水平的表达。报告基因检测结果显示Btnl5对NF-κB信号通路有一定的抑制作用。研究结果说明,Btnl5可能通过抑制NF-κB信号通路参与调节肠道免疫。

Abstract:

Porcine butyrophilin-like 5(Btnl5)belongs to butyrophilin family and most of its homologous proteins are immune regulators. In order to explore the sequence characteristics and function of Btnl5,full-length cDNA of Btnl5 was cloned and characterized by reverse transcription PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE). Then the mRNA expression abundances of Btnl5 in different tissues were detected using quantitative PCR,and its effect on NF-κB pathway was detected by reporter gene assay. The full length cDNA of Btnl5 was 3 334 bp containing a 1 680 bp open reading frame(ORF)encoding 559 amino acids. Structural analysis showed that this protein was a transmembrane protein,and its extracellular region contained a signal peptide,two immunoglobulin domains,its intracellular region was B30.2 domain. Quantitative PCR analysis showed that Btnl5 transcripts almost exclusively expressed in jejunum among 11 detected tissues. Reporter gene analysis indicated that Btnl5 suppressed the NF-κB pathway. The above results suggest that Btnl5 may involve in intestinal immune regulation through inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway.
