Description

Method for regulating lactic acid secretion level of pig immature testis support cells and application

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of cell genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a method for regulating the lactic acid secretion level of a pig immature testis support cell and application thereof.

Background

Mesenchymal cells and supporting cells are the two most important types of somatic cells in animal testes that affect spermatogenesis. Without support cells, male germ cells are not viable and mature in vivo. Lactic acid produced by the support cells can provide the necessary energy substrate for spermatogenesis and can also act as a paracrine factor to regulate the function of spermatogenic cells. Also, it has been shown that intratesticular delivery of lactic acid can enhance the production of adult cryptorchid sperm. Thus, modulation of lactate secretion levels in porcine immature testis support cell lines is of great interest in studying mammalian spermatogenesis.

HSP90AA1 is one of HSP90s family members, is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone, and utilizes its atpase activity to drive conformational changes of the cofactor, promote folding, stabilization and activation of the protein of interest, and affect a variety of cellular functions. However, there remains a challenge to fully understand this chaperone protein due to its inherent structural and functional complexity.

Studies have found that in sexually mature pig testes, spermatogonia, spermatocyte, round sperm and elongated sperm cells express Hsp90, but no application of HSP90AA1 in regulating lactic acid secretion levels of pig immature testis supporting cells has been reported yet.

In order to change the expression level of HSP90AA1 in a pig testis support cell, the invention adopts the transfection of HSP90AA1 over expression and HSP90 specific inhibitor 17-AAG treatment in the pig testis support cell to increase or decrease the expression level of HSP90AA1, and then adopts an ELISA method to detect the regulation of the expression of the HSP90AA1 on the lactic acid generation level of a pig immature testis support cell.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention aims at: (1) Providing an application of improving lactic acid secretion of a swine immature testis support cell by over-expressing HSP90AA 1; (2) The use of reducing expression of HSP90AA1 in porcine immature testis support cells by 17-AAG treatment to reduce lactate secretion is provided.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is realized by the following technical scheme:

the porcine immature testis supporting cell line was cultured.

The invention firstly provides a recombinant plasmid for improving the lactic acid secretion level in a pig immature testis support cell line, which is obtained by inserting HSP90AA1 genes into pBI-CMV3 plasmid and sequencing the first generation of the full-length CDS sequence (2202 bp) of the pig HSP90AA1 is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1.

The preparation method of the specific recombinant plasmid comprises the following steps:

construction of an overexpression vector pBI-HSP90AA1 of porcine HSP90AA1. Molecular cloning and sequencing of porcine immature testis support cell HSP90AA1 gene, designing primers by referring to NM_213973.2 (https:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_ 213973.2) in NCBI, performing RT-PCR amplification on total RNA obtained from porcine immature testis support cell to obtain a full-length coding sequence of HSP90AA1, cloning into a T vector, and sequencing. The full length HSP90AA1 coding sequence was inserted into the multiple cloning site of the pBI-CMV3 empty vector (Clontech) via MluI and NotI endonucleases to construct the pBI-HSP90AA1 overexpression vector. The constructed pBI-HSP90AA1 over-expression vector is digested by MluI and NotI, and the size of the constructed vector is identified by agarose gel, as shown in figure 1, so that the recombinant plasmid can be obtained.

Amplification of the upstream primer sequences of HSP90AA1 cds: 5'-GAGAACGCGTATGCCCGAGGAA-3'

Amplification of the downstream primer sequences of HSP90AA1 cds: 5'-GAGAGCGGCCGCCTAATCGACTTC-3'.

The specific method for transfecting the overexpression HSP90AA1 plasmid is as follows:

by using

The HD (Promega) reagent transfects the over-expression vector into the pig immature testis support cells, the control group is empty vector pBI-CMV3, and the experimental group is pBI-HSP90AA1. Transfection was performed when the cell density reached around 80%.

The invention also provides a method for effectively detecting the lactic acid secretion level in the pig immature testis support cell line, wherein the HSP90AA1 is used as a marker gene for detecting the lactic acid secretion level in the pig immature testis support cell line, namely the expression level of the HSP90AA1 gene in the pig immature testis support cell line is detected. Specifically, the marker gene is applied by detecting HSP90AA1mRNA of the transfected pig immature testis support cells by RT-qPCR, detecting protein level of the transfected pig immature testis support cells by Western blot, detecting protein localization of the transfected pig immature testis support cells by cell immunofluorescence, or detecting lactic acid dehydrogenase activity and lactic acid level in cells after overexpression of HSP90AA1 by ELISA.

After 24h transfection, samples are collected, total RNA and protein are extracted, the levels of the over-expressed mRNA and protein are verified through RT-qPCR and western blot, the levels and the positions of the over-expressed protein are detected through immunofluorescence, and then the change of the over-expressed HSP90AA1 on the lactic acid level of the pig immature testis support cell is further detected through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Treatment of porcine immature testis-bearing cells with allolylamino-17-desmethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG; abcam, cat# ab 141433) specifically inhibited HSP90AA1, control in DMSO solvent and experimental in 2. Mu.M 17-AAG. After 36h of treatment, samples are collected, total proteins are extracted, reduction of protein level of HSP90AA1 is verified through western blot, and then enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is further used for inhibiting change of lactic acid level of HSP90AA1 on immature testis support cells of pigs.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that: the expression of HSP90AA1 can regulate the endogenous lactic acid production and metabolism level of the pig immature testis support cells, influence the functions of the cells, and provide a beneficial method for further researching the effect of the endogenous lactic acid production and metabolism of the cells on male reproduction in vitro.

The method is simple, and the secretion level of lactic acid in the immature testis support cells of the pigs is regulated by the expression of HSP90AA1 genes: after the HSP90AA1 gene of the pig immature testis support cell is over-expressed, the expression level of HSP90AA1mRNA and protein in the pig immature testis support cell is obviously increased, the activity of lactic acid dehydrogenase of the cell is obviously increased, and the level of lactic acid produced by the cell is obviously increased. After 17-AAG is treated on the pig immature testis support cells, the expression level of HSP90AA1 protein in the pig immature testis support cells is obviously reduced, the activity of lactic dehydrogenase of the cells is obviously reduced, and the level of lactic acid produced by the cells is obviously reduced.

Example 3: overexpression of HSP90AA1 can significantly improve activity of lactic dehydrogenase and lactic acid production of porcine immature testis support cells

Lactic acid measurement: is detected by a lactic acid detection kit. First, 20. Mu.L of cell supernatants of the empty vector group and the over-expression group were added to 5mL of EP tube, 1mL of working solution (prepared by an enzyme stock solution and an enzyme dilution solution at a ratio of 1:100) and 200. Mu.L of a color-developing agent were added to the EP tube, and after mixing, they were placed in a water bath at 37℃for reaction for 10min, 2mL of a stop solution was added to each tube, and the reacted sample was added to an ELISA plate at 200. Mu.L/well, and 3 replicates were performed for each group. And (3) detecting absorbance at the OD530nm of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All experimental conditions were kept consistent and three replicates were performed. The level of lactate secretion by the cells of the control and overexpressing groups was calculated from the standard.

Lactate dehydrogenase activity assay: is detected by a lactate dehydrogenase detection kit. Taking 20 mu L of cell supernatant of an empty vector group and an over-expression group, adding 25 mu L of matrix buffer solution and 5 mu L of coenzyme I, uniformly mixing, placing in a metal bath (37 ℃) for reaction for 15min, adding 25 mu L of 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, continuously placing in the metal bath (37 ℃) for reaction for 15min, adding 250 mu L of 0.4mol/L NaOH solution, and measuring absorbance value at an OD450nm position of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All experimental conditions were kept consistent and three replicates were performed. Control and overexpressed lactate dehydrogenase activities were calculated from the standards.

As shown in fig. 3: compared with an empty vector group, the lactic acid level and the lactic acid dehydrogenase activity of an experimental group transfected with the HSP90AA1 over-expression vector are obviously increased (P is less than 0.05), which indicates that the lactic acid secretion of the pig immature testis support cells can be obviously promoted after the expression of the HSP90AA1 is increased.

Example 4: 17-AAG-treated porcine immature testis supporting cells

After cells were cultured in a 5% CO2 cell incubator at 37℃until the density reached 30%, 17-AAG was added to the 17-AAG-treated group, 2. Mu.M 17-AAG was added to the DMSO-treated group, and DMSO was added in an equivalent volume to 17-AAG, and the incubator was incubated for 36 hours to collect cells, and HSP90AA1 protein levels were detected by referring to the western blot step described above.

As shown in FIG. 4, the protein level of HSP90AA1 in the experimental group of 2. Mu.M 17-AAG-treated 36h pig immature testis support cells was significantly less than that in the control group DMSO (< 0.05), indicating that 2. Mu.M 17-AAG treatment 36h significantly inhibited protein expression of HSP90AA1.

Example 5: inhibition of HSP90AA1 expression by 17-AAG can significantly reduce secretion of lactic acid by porcine immature testis cells

The culture supernatants of porcine immature testis support cells from the 2. Mu.M 17-AAG-treated group and DMSO control group were assayed for lactate levels and lactate dehydrogenase activity by reference to the experimental procedures above.

As shown in fig. 5, both lactate levels and lactate dehydrogenase activity were significantly lower in the experimental group 2 μm 17-AAG than in the control DMSO group (p < 0.01), indicating that inhibition of HSP90AA1 expression by 17-AAG down-regulates lactate production by porcine immature testis support cells.
