目的 探讨内皮素-1(ET-1)、ET-2、ET-3、内皮素受体A(ETRA)、ETRB和内皮素转换酶(ECE)在8周糖尿病SD大鼠视网膜中的表达。 方法 采用限制性片段差异显示PCR(RFDD-PCR)技术建立正常和8周糖尿病大鼠视网膜基因差异表达谱,并以半定量RT-PCR和蛋白免疫印迹方法分别对两组间表达存在差异的6个基因(ET-1、ET-2、ET-3、ETRA、ETRB、ECE)的表达进行验证。 结果 RFDD-PCR结果显示,糖尿病组ET-1、ET-2、ET-3、ETRA、ETRB和ECE表达上调。半定量RT-PCR结果和蛋白免疫印迹结果显示,6种基因和蛋白在糖尿病组的表达(相对光密度比值)高于正常组,表达差异具有统计学意义(P均<0.05,P均<0.01)。结论 ET-1、ET-2、ET-3、ETRA、ETRB和ECE在糖尿病视网膜中呈高表达,提示这6种基因可能参与了糖尿病视网膜的发病过程。 |

Abstract: |
Objective To investigate the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1), ET-2, ET-3,endothelin receptor A (ETRA), ETRB and endothelin coverting enzyme (ECE) in the retinas of 8-week-old diabetic SD rats. Methods The retinal gene expression profiles of healthy and 8-week-old diabetic rats were constructed with restriction fragment differential display polymerase chained reaction (RFDD-PCR), and the differential expression of ET-1, ET-2, ET-3, ETRA, ETRB and ECE was verified using semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis.Results The Results of RFDD-PCR showed that the expression of ET-1, ET-2, ET-3, ETRA, ETRB and ECE was up-regulated in diabetic retina. The Results of semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis showed that the expression levels of the six genes and proteins (relative D ratio) in diabetic group were significantly higher than those in the normal retinas (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). Conclusion The expression of ET-1, ET-2, ET-3, ETRA, ETRB and ECE is up-regulated in diabetic retina, suggesting that the six genes may be involved in the pathgenesis of diabetic retina. |
