摘要: MSH6在激活细胞周期阻滞和修复镉诱导的DNA损伤等方面具有重要功能。本研究以拟南芥为实验材料,通过生物信息学分析发现,MSH6具有miRNA172b-5p、miRNA172e-5p、miRNA472-3p等microRNAs (miRNAs) 的作用靶点。利用烟草双荧光素酶报告系统体外验证检测发现,与阴性对照组相比,miRNA172b-5p、miRNA172e-5p和miRNA472-3p均可显著抑制荧光素酶的相对活性,其比值分别下降了25.5%、47.2%和49.5%。采用拟南芥植株瞬时侵染体内验证结果显示,miRNA172b-5p、miRNA172e-5p和miRNA4723p分别上升了178.9%、123.6%和37.6%;同时,qRT-PCR(real time quantitative reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction)结果表明,拟南芥幼苗在1.25、2.5、4.0 mg·L-1 Cd胁迫7 d后,与对照组相比,MSH6表达显著降低,分别下降了20.3%、22.7%和38.2%。而miRNA172b-5p、miRNA172e-5p和miRNA472-3p表达显著增加,二者呈显著的负相关关系(r=-0.997,P<0.01;r=-0.997,P<0.01;r=-0.952,P<0.05),表明miRNA172b-5p、miRNA172e-5p和miRNA472-3p是拟南芥Cd胁迫响应的miRNAs,并且靶向MSH6基因。本研究为DNA mismatch repair (MMR)对Cd毒理调控机制的研究提供miRNA理论基础。

Abstract: MSH6 plays an important role in the activation of checkpoints in cell cycles and in repairing of DNA damage under Cd stress. In this study, we found that MSH6 gene had targeting sequence of microRNAs (miRNAs), including miRNA172b-5p, miRNA172e-5p and miRNA472-3p in Arabidopsis thaliana by bioinformatics analysis. The results of dual luciferase reporter assay showed that miRNA172b-5p, miRNA172e-5p, and miRNA472-3p significantly reduced the related luciferase activity of reporter construct, which was decreased by 25.5%, 47.2% and 49.5%, respectively, compared with the negative control group in an Agrobacterium tumefaciensmediated in vitro assay (P<0.01). Results from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves injected transient expression in vivo assay showed that the over-expression level of miRNA172b-5p, miRNA172e-5p and miRNA472-3p was 178.9%, 123.6% and 37.6%, respectively. Results of qRT-PCR(real time quantitative reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction) showed that the expression of MSH6 was decreased by 20.3%, 22.7% and 38.2% in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves when exposed to 1.25, 2.5, 4.0 mg·L-1 Cd stress for seven days, but the expression levels of miRNA172b-5p, miRNA172e-5p and miRNA472-3p were enhanced. There were negative relationships between these three miRNAs and MSH6gene (r=-0.995, P<0.01; r=-0.995, P<0.01; r=-0.984, P<0.05), indicating that miRNA172b-5p, miRNA172e-5p and miRNA472-3p were Cd responsive miRNAs and could directly target toMSH6 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana. Ourresults provide theoretical basis of miRNA for the study of Cd toxicological mechanism regulated by DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system.
