摘要: 17β-羟类固醇脱氢酶(17β-HSDs)是性类固醇激素合成过程中最后步骤的氧化还原酶,在动物性腺发育、生殖调控中发挥重要作用。本研究基于全基因组数据,利用RACE技术和多种生物信息学软件对缢蛏17β-HSDs基因家族成员进行了鉴定、染色体定位和系统进化分析,并利用qRT-PCR 技术研究了其在不同组织、性腺不同发育时期的表达特征。结果表明,缢蛏17β-HSD6、17β-HSD10、17β-HSD12、17β-HSD14基因分别定位在4条不同染色体上,所编码的蛋白均具有SDR超家族的保守结构域;系统进化结果表明,缢蛏17β-HSDs基因家族成员分化明显,各自聚为独立分支。qRT-PCR分析显示,缢蛏17β-HSDs基因在8个组织中均有表达,且在性腺和肝胰腺中的表达量较高;在缢蛏性腺发育过程中,17β-HSD6基因在精巢和卵巢排放期的表达量较高,17β-HSD10、17β-HSD12、17β-HSD14基因在两性性腺中的表达均呈现先升高再降低的变化趋势,均在成熟期的表达量较高;在成熟期,17β-HSD10基因在精巢的表达量显著高于卵巢(p < 0.05),而17β-HSD12、17β-HSD14基因在卵巢中的表达量显著高于精巢(p < 0.05)。综上结果表明,17β-HSD6基因可能不参与调控缢蛏性腺发育过程,而17β-HSD10、17β-HSD12、17β-HSD14基因的表达与性腺发育过程密切相关,推测其可能通过介导性类固醇激素的合成与代谢调控缢蛏性腺发育过程。研究结果将为深入研究贝类17β-HSDs调控性腺发育、生殖内分泌机制奠定理论基础。

Abstract: 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) are the oxidoreductases in the last step of sex steroid hormone synthesis process, and play important roles in animal gonadal development and reproductive regulation. In this study, on the basis of the genome data of the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta, 17β-HSD genes were cloned and identified, and their chromosome distributions, phylogenetic relationships and gene expression patterns in different tissues and under different gonadal developmental stages were analyzed. The results showed that 17β-HSD6, 17β-HSD10, 17β-HSD12 and 17β-HSD14 genes of S. constricta were located on four different chromosomes, and the encoded proteins all contained the conserved SDR superfamily domains. The four 17β-HSD proteins were clearly differentiated and clustered into four independent branches in the phylogenetic trees. The results of qRT-PCR showed that 17β-HSD genes were all expressed in testes tissues, and possessed higher expression levels in gonads and hepatopancreas. During the gonadal development of S. constricta, 17β-HSD6 gene was expressed higher in testis and ovary at the spawning stage. The expression levels of 17β-HSD10, 17β-HSD12 and 17β-HSD14 genes showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing during the development cycle of testis and ovary, which were all expressed higher at the mature stage. At the mature stage, 17β-HSD10 gene was expressed significantly higher in testis than in ovary (p < 0.05) , while the expression levels of 17β-HSD12 and 17β-HSD14 genes were all significantly higher in ovary than in testis (p < 0.05). Therefore, 17β-HSD6 gene might not be involved in regulating gonadal development process, while the expressions of 17β-HSD10, 17β-HSD12 and 17β-HSD14 genes were closely related to the gonadal development, suggesting that they might affect the gonadal development by regulating the synthesis and metabolism of sex steroid hormones in S. constricta. These findings laid theoretical foundations for further study on mechanism of 17β-HSD genes in regulating gonadal development and reproductive endocrine of mollusks. -
