| 摘要: |
| 目的 利用成簇规律间隔短回文重复序列（CRISPR）及其相关蛋白9（Cas9）构建v-maf肌筋膜纤维肉瘤癌基因同源物B（Mafb）基因敲除小鼠，初步研究该基因缺失对尿道发育的影响。方法 根据CRISPR/Cas9技术原理构建Mafb基因敲除F0代C57BL/6J小鼠；经PCR及基因测序鉴定阳性的F0代小鼠与野生型C57BL/6J小鼠交配繁殖，获得F1代Mafb基因敲除杂合子（Mafb+/-）小鼠；Mafb+/-小鼠间进行交配繁殖，获得Mafb基因敲除纯合子（Mafb-/-）胎鼠。收集雄性Mafb-/-胎鼠阴茎组织，通过免疫荧光技术检测阴茎组织中Mafb蛋白表达情况及尿道缝处上皮钙黏蛋白（E-cadherin）和α-平滑肌肌动蛋白（α-SMA）表达情况，扫描电子显微镜及石蜡切片H-E染色观察阴茎组织形态。结果 成功构建、繁育Mafb+/-小鼠并得到雄性Mafb-/-胎鼠。免疫荧光检测结果显示雄性Mafb-/-胎鼠阴茎组织中几乎不存在Mafb蛋白表达，且相较于野生型小鼠其尿道缝处E-cadherin蛋白表达明显降低、α-SMA蛋白表达明显增高；扫描电子显微镜及H-E染色显示雄性Mafb-/-胎鼠为尿道下裂表型。结论 成功构建Mafb基因敲除小鼠模型，该基因敲除可导致小鼠出现尿道下裂表型及尿道缝处细胞中E-cadherin和α-SMA的表达差异，为进一步研究该基因在尿道下裂发生机制中的作用奠定了基础。 |

| Abstract: |
| Objective To construct v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog B (Mafb) knockout mice by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9), and explore the impact brought by this gene deletion on the urethral development. Methods The F0 Mafb knockout C57BL/6J mice were constructed according to the principle of CRISPR/Cas9 technology. F0 mice identified by polymerase chain reaction and gene sequencing were mated with wild-type C57BL/6J mice to obtain F1 Mafb knockout heterozygous (Mafb+/-) mice. Mafb knockout homozygous (Mafb-/-) fetal mice were obtained by mating between Mafb+/- mice. The penile tissues of male Mafb-/- fetal mice were collected. The expression of Mafb protein in the penile tissues and the expression of epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the urethral seam were detected by immunofluorescence. The histological morphology of the penile tissues was observed by scanning electron microscopy and paraffin section hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining. Results The Mafb+/- mice were successfully constructed and bred, and male Mafb-/- fetal mice were obtained. Immunofluorescence showed scarce expression of Mafb protein in the penises of the male Mafb-/- fetal mice; compared with wide type mice, the expression of E-cadherin was downregulated and α-SMA was upregulated in the urethral seam. Scanning electron microscopy and H-E staining showed that the phenotype of male Mafb-/- fetal mice was hypospadias. Conclusion The Mafb knockout mouse model is successfully constructed. The knockout of Mafb can lead to the hypospadias phenotype and change the expression levels of E-cadherin and α-SMA on the urethral seam. This model lays a foundation for further study on the role of Mafb in the pathogenesis of hypospadias. |
