摘    要:目的 探讨一种可溶性的外分泌因子Midkine-a在斑马鱼胚胎心脏发育过程中的功能。方法 在整体胚胎上做Midkine-a RNA的原位杂交实验;利用原有的转基因斑马鱼系Tg (pMidkine-a:EGFP),动态观察胚胎从出生到心脏发育成形这一段时间心脏荧光表达情况;将原有的转基因斑马鱼体系 Tg (phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP) 胚胎进行热休克而过表达Midkine-a,观察胚胎心脏表型;利用Tg (pcmlc2:dsRed)鱼系胚胎的心肌细胞核带有红色荧光,能进行单个心脏心肌细胞计数这一特点,将杂合的Tg (phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP)鱼系与纯合的Tg (pcmlc2:dsRed)鱼系交配,以得到Tg (phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP/pcmlc2:dsRed)的杂合胚胎,对其进行热休克而过表达Midkine-a,计算每个胚胎心脏内心肌细胞的总数; 用吗啉寡聚核苷酸 (Morphonino,MO)阻碍新生胚胎内的Midkine-a mRNA 表达,观察胚胎心脏表型。结果 原位杂交试验证实Midkine-a在胚胎48hpf (hours post fertilization, 受精后小时,用来标记斑马鱼胚胎年龄)大时表达于心脏;转基因Tg (pMidkine-a:EGFP)胚胎在72hpf时其EGFP表达于心脏;Tg(phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP) 胚胎在过表达Midkine-a后心脏变小;吗啉寡聚核苷酸敲除Midkine-a对胚胎心脏发育无影响;最后在Tg (phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP/pcmlc2:dsRed)鱼系胚胎内过表达Midkine-a导致其单个心脏内心肌细胞数目变少,与其小心脏外形吻合。结论 Midkine-a在斑马鱼胚胎发育过程中表达于胚胎心脏;过表达Midkine-a导致胚胎心脏内心肌细胞总数减少及心脏变小;敲除Midkine-a则对胚胎心脏发育无影响。

Abstract:Objective To investigate the functional role of a soluble secretion factor Midkine-a in the process of zebrafish embryonic heart development. Methods Whole-mount in situ hybridization was perform to detect whether Midkine-a is expressed in the embryonic heart; in the transgenic embryonic heart of Tg(pMidkine-a:EGFP), the expression of EGFP in the heart was monitored ; Multiple heat shock regimens were applied to Tg(phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP) embryos in order to overexpress Midkine-a, and the phenotype of the heart was observed; The heterozygous Tg(phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP) fish were crossed with homozygous Tg(pcmlc2:dsRed) fish, which specifically expresses RFP in the nucleoli of embryonic cardiomyocyte to facilitate myocyte number counting, to get Tg(phsp:Midkine-a:EGFP/pcmlc2:dsRed) embryos, and the total number of cardiomyocytes in their heart were counted and compared to the controls when the heat shock induced overexpression of Midkine-a; Morphonino runing down of Midkine-a was performed to watch the heart phenotype. Results Midkine-a is expressed in the zebrafish embryonic heart during development; overexpression of Midkine-a leads to smaller heart and reduced total number of cardiomyoctes in a single heart, which might associates with the smaller heart phenotype. Morphonilo running down of Midkine-a has no effects upon heart development. Conclusions Midkine-a impedes zebrafish embryonic heart growth by limiting its cardiomyocyte pool.
Keywords:Zebrafish embryo  Heart development  midkine-a  Cardiomyocyte pool
