【摘要】 将PPARγ2基因启动子和报告基因荧光素酶相连接克隆于特定载体构建成表达质粒 ,电穿孔转染小鼠ES细胞 ,筛选阳性克隆。诱导ES细胞向脂肪细胞分化 ,通过定量检测荧光素酶活性跟踪PPARγ2基因的表达情况 ,以此研究脂肪细胞分化过程中该基因的表达模式。结果显示PPARγ2基因在未分化的ES细胞和EB形成的前两天中不表达 ,从EB形成的第 3天开始表达 ,直至脂肪细胞分化完成。该基因在已完成分化的脂肪细胞中的表达远强于在分化中的前脂肪细胞中的表达。首次报道了从小鼠ES细胞到脂肪细胞分化过程中PPARγ2基因的表达模式 ,支持了PPARγ2基因为脂肪组织特异性表达基因的已有报道 ,并为脂肪细胞分化机理研究提供了线索。更多还原

【Abstract】 To investigate the expression patterns of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor2 (PPARγ2) gene in the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells into adipocytes, mouse ES cells were transfected with the vector of pPPARγ2-promoter-luciferase, and PPARγ2 expressions were analyzed by detecting luciferase activities and by detecting the protein expressions using western blotting. The results showed that the gene PPARγ2 did not express in undifferentiated mouse ES cells and in embryoid bodies (EBs) within the first 2 days of differentiation induction after EB formation, and began to express from the third day of differentiation induction after EB formation to the finish of the differentiation. The gene’s expression in differentiated adipocytes was much stronger than that in differentiating preadipocytes. In Conclusion our results reported for the first time the five-step expression patterns of the gene PPARγ2 during the whole differentiation procedures from mouse ES cells into adipocytes via preadipocytes, and supported the previous studies that PPARγ2 is a fat-specific gene that expresses only in developed and developing adipose tissues.更多还原
