摘要:
目的 考察白念珠菌IFD6基因对生物被膜形成能力的影响。 方法 构建白念珠菌IFD6基因高表达质粒,将IFD6基因开放阅读框(ORF)置于pCaEXP高表达载体中MET3启动子的控制下,醋酸锂法转染白念珠菌CAI4,PCR鉴定IFD6基因的原位整合,realtime PCR筛选IFD6基因表达量明显升高的菌株。利用XTT法和激光共聚焦显微镜测定并观察IFD6基因高表达前后生物被膜形成能力的变化,利用细胞表面疏水性实验考察白念珠菌细胞表面疏水性的变化。 结果 通过酶切和测序验证IFD6基因高表达质粒构建正确;通过PCR验证IFD6基因高表达菌株构建正确,并通过realtime RTPCR筛选得到1株IFD6基因表达量相对较高的菌株。XTT 法和激光共聚焦显微镜观察的结果一致显示IFD6基因高表达菌形成生物被膜的能力增强,细胞表面疏水性增加。 结论 IFD6基因高表达能增加白念珠菌细胞表面疏水性, 从而使白念珠菌生物被膜的形成能力增强。

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of IFD6 on biofilmforming ability of C. albicans. Methods We constructed an IFD6overexpressing plasmid and inserted IFD6 intact open reading frame(ORF) under the control of the MET3 promoter in pCaEXP plasmid, which was then used to transform C. albicans CAI4 by lithium acetate method. PCR was used to investigate the in situ integration of IFD6 gene and realtime PCR was used to select strains highly expressing IFD6 gene. XTT assay and confocal scanning laser microscopy were used to investigate the changes of biofilmforming ability before and after IFD6 overexpression. We also investigated the changes of cell surface hydrophobicity(CSH) using relative CSH assay. Results We successfully constructed IFD6overexpressing plasmid as confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing; IFD6overexpressing strain was successfully established as confirmed by PCR. Realtime PCR successfully selected a strain highly expressing IFD6 gene. The results of XTT assay and confocal scanning laser microscopy both showed that IFD6overexpressing strain had an enhanced biofilm forming ability and an increased cell surface hydrophobicity. Conclusion Overexpression of IFD6 can enhance the biofilm forming ability of C. albicans by increasing CSH.
