摘要: 为了研究生长抑素基因(somatostatin 4, sst4)在斑马鱼(Danio rerio)发育过程中的表达分布与主要功能,通过原位杂交技术确定斑马鱼胚胎受精后24~96 h胰腺中sst4基因的特异表达。葡萄糖处理实验显示,在高葡萄糖质量浓度下5日龄斑马鱼中sst4基因表达下调,暗示其在胰腺发育分化和血糖调控中的重要作用。然后,分别对产生胰高血糖素的α细胞和产生胰岛素的β细胞进行可视化计数后进行基因型鉴定,结果显示,sst4基因敲除导致β细胞明显增多,而α细胞并未受到影响。120日龄成鱼血糖检测结果显示,sst4突变体血糖水平降低,与此同时,葡萄糖代谢相关基因insa和insb表达下调,gcgb表达量上调,g6pca.1表达量下降。结果表明,sst4基因定位于胰腺,对胰腺β细胞的增殖具有抑制作用,并且可能通过作用于β细胞参与调控血糖稳态。

Abstract: In order to investigate the distribution and function ofsomatostatin 4 (sst4) gene during zebrafish (Danio rerio) development,sst4gene specifically expressed in the pancreas of zebrafish was identified during 24-96 hpf byin situhybridization (ISH). By espousing the 5 dpf zebrafish larva with different mass concentration of glucose, qPCR analysis showed thatsst4expression levels were significantly reduced with the increase of the exposed glucose concentration. These results suggested an important role ofsst4gene on pancreatic development and differentiation and glucose regulation. Further, by counted the number of α cells producing glucagon and β cells producing insulin, laser confocal scanning results showed that in thesst4mutant, β cell number was significantly increased compared to that in the wildtype fish, while α cell number was no difference between the two genotypes. Blood glucose measurement in adults (120 dpf) showed thatsst4mutants were with lower glucose levels, compared to wildtype. And glucose metabolism related genes,insa,insbandg6pca.1showed a significant decrease, whilegcgbgene showed an increase in thesst4mutant. These results indicated that thesst4gene may involve into blood glucose homeostasis though its function as an inhibitor of β cell proliferation.
