摘要 [目的] 研究TYK2基因在家兔肠炎发生中的遗传效应,探讨其是否可以作为家兔抗病育种的辅助选择标记。[方法] 通過构建病例组-对照组肠炎兔群和低纤维诱导的肠炎兔群,PCR产物纯化后直接测序,以及qRT-PCR法检测TYK2基因在回肠和结肠组织中的mRNA表达水平。[结果] 发现TYK2基因外显子区域有5个cSNP,只有c.1477(c.1477,C>T)位点发生非同义突变,导致氨基酸p.Leu 404 Phe(L>F)的改变,C等位基因增加了肠炎的易感性(OR:1.36;95% CI 1.269~2.151;P=0.019),而等位基因T对肠炎的发生起到了一定的保护作用(OR:0.81,95% CI 0.352~0.960;P=0.018)。TYK2基因不同基因型和不同肠炎程度的mRNA水平均呈现差异表达(P<0.05)。[结论] TYK2(c.1477,C>T)是家兔肠炎易感风险基因,为家兔的抗病育种提供了一个可靠的辅助选择标记。

Abstract [Objective] To study the genetic effects of TYK2 gene in rabbit enteritis and to explore whether it could be used as a Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) for resistance breeding in rabbits. [Method] To construct case-control rabbit enteritis groups and low fiber induced rabbit enteritis groups, the PCR products were purified and sequenced directly, and the TYK2 gene mRNA levels in ileum and colon tissues were detected by qRT-PCR. [Result] Five cSNPs were detected in exon region of TYK2 gene, and only c.1477 (c.1477, C>T) loci was non synonymous mutation, which caused to the change of amino acid p.Leu 404 Phe (L>F). The C allele increased the susceptibility of enteritis (OR: 1.36;95% CI 1.269~2.151;P=0.019), and the T allele was a protective effect on the occurrence of the enteritis (OR: 0.81, 95% CI 0.352~0.960;P=0.018). The TYK2 mRNA levels in different genotypes and in different degree of enteritis both presented significant difference (P<0.05). [Conclusion] TYK2 (c.1477, C>T) is a susceptible risk gene of rabbit enteritis, and provides a MAS for the resistance breeding.

家兔为人类提供大量的优质肉、毛和皮等产品,随着消费的迅速增长,规模化养兔成为发展的必然趋势。然而,薛家兵等[1]、谷子林[2]报道患黏液性肠病的兔绝大部分死亡,发病率50%~70%,死亡率90%以上,一些兔场发病死亡率甚至高达100%。家兔腹泻死亡的致病机理十分复杂,防治难度很大,被列入近几年三大兔病之一(兔瘟、兔肠道疾病和体表真菌病)[3]。因此,研究家兔腹泻和肠炎的发病机制,从而控制死亡率已经成为当前养兔业中抗病育种的热点。
TYK2(Tyrosine kinase 2)作为酪氨酸蛋白激酶家族(Janus kinases,JAKs)的一个重要成员,参与机体细胞的增殖、分化、凋亡[4],介导机体免疫调控[5-6]和肿瘤生成等一系列生命活动过程[7-8]。Minegishi等[5]研究发现TYK2基因纯合子突变的病人被临床诊断为高IgE综合征,表明其在多种细胞因子的天然免疫和获得性免疫中扮演重要作用。研究表明……
