초록
DNA methyltransferases(DNMTs) are closely associated with the epigenetic change and the gene silencing through the regulation of methylation status in animal genome. But, the role of DNMTs in transgene silencing has remained unclear. So, we examined whether the knockdown of DNMT influences the reactivation of transgene expression in the transgenic quails. In this study, we investigated the expression of DNMT3a, and DNMT3b in blastoderm, quail embryonic fibroblasts(QEFs) and limited embryonic tissues such as gonad, kidney, heart and liver of E6 transgenic quails(TQ2) by RT-PCR. We further analyzed the expression of DNMT3a at different stages of whole embryos during early embryonic development by qRT-PCR. DNMT3a expression was detected in all test samples; however, it showed the highest expression in E6 whole embryo. Embryonic fibroblasts collected from TQ2 quails were treated with two DNMT3a-targeted siRNAs(siDNMT3a-51 and siDNMT3a-88) for RNA interference assay, and changes in expression were then analyzed by qRT-PCR. The siDNMT3a-51 and siDNMT3a-88 reduced 53.34% and 64.64% of DNMT3a expression in TQ2 QEFs, respectively. Subsequently the treatment of each siRNA reactivated enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) expression in TQ2(224% and 114%). Our results might provide a clue for understanding the DNA methylation mechanism responsible for transgenic animal production and stable transgene expression.
Abstract
DNA methyltransferases(DNMTs) are closely associated with the epigenetic change and the gene silencing through the regulation of methylation status in animal genome. But, the role of DNMTs in transgene silencing has remained unclear. So, we examined whether the knockdown of DNMT influences the reactivation of transgene expression in the transgenic quails. In this study, we investigated the expression of DNMT3a, and DNMT3b in blastoderm, quail embryonic fibroblasts(QEFs) and limited embryonic tissues such as gonad, kidney, heart and liver of E6 transgenic quails(TQ2) by RT-PCR. We further analyzed the expression of DNMT3a at different stages of whole embryos during early embryonic development by qRT-PCR. DNMT3a expression was detected in all test samples; however, it showed the highest expression in E6 whole embryo. Embryonic fibroblasts collected from TQ2 quails were treated with two DNMT3a-targeted siRNAs(siDNMT3a-51 and siDNMT3a-88) for RNA interference assay, and changes in expression were then analyzed by qRT-PCR. The siDNMT3a-51 and siDNMT3a-88 reduced 53.34% and 64.64% of DNMT3a expression in TQ2 QEFs, respectively. Subsequently the treatment of each siRNA reactivated enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) expression in TQ2(224% and 114%). Our results might provide a clue for understanding the DNA methylation mechanism responsible for transgenic animal production and stable transgene expression.
