本研究克隆獲得銀鯧(Pampus argenteus)雌激素受體α(estrogen receptorα,ERα)基因的部分cDNA序列,長度196 bp,編碼65個氨基酸。經(jīng)BLAST比對,與其它魚類ERα基因序列的一致性在89%~93%之間,證明實驗所得序列為銀鯧ERα基因的部分片段。以1年齡雌性銀鯧為實驗對象,配制了4組等氮、等能及等脂的實驗飼料,分別以100%魚油(FO組)、70%魚油和30%大豆油(FSO組)、30%魚油和70%大豆油(SFO組)、100%大豆油(SO組)為脂肪源,研究銀鯧在卵黃發(fā)生期間組織中ERα基因表達量的變化以及飼料n-3LC-PUFA對其組織表達的影響,實驗周期185 d。結果表明,在卵黃發(fā)生中期與后期,肝臟與卵巢中ERα基因表達量均顯著高于卵黃發(fā)生前期(P<0.05);卵黃發(fā)生后期肝臟組織中ERα基因表達量雖較卵黃發(fā)生中期呈升高趨勢,但除了SO組之外,兩者之間無顯著性差異(P>0.05);而卵巢組織中ERα基因表達量在整個卵黃發(fā)生期間均呈現(xiàn)顯著升高趨勢(P<0.05)。飼料n-3LC-PUFA對肝臟與卵巢ERα基因表達量的影響在卵黃發(fā)生前期均未表現(xiàn)出明顯的組間差異,但在卵黃發(fā)生中期與后期,飼料中較高的n-3LC-PUFA含量顯著提高了組織中ERα基因表達量。在卵黃發(fā)生中期與后期,F(xiàn)O與FSO組肝臟與卵巢組織中ERα基因表達量均分別顯著高于SO組(P<0.05)。雙因素方差分析結果表明,飼料n-3LC-PUFA與卵黃發(fā)生時期對銀鯧組織中ERα基因表達量均具有顯著性影響,且兩者對組織中ERα基因表達量存在顯著性的交互作用。

雌二醇(E2)是影響魚類卵巢發(fā)育、成熟及排卵的一種重要的性類固醇激素[1]。卵巢發(fā)育、成熟過程中卵泡會分泌E2,后者通過血液運輸至肝臟并與肝細胞中的雌激素受體(estrogen receptor,ER)結合,從而發(fā)揮其生物學效應,誘導肝臟合成卵黃蛋白原[2-3]。換言之,E2功能的發(fā)揮,其前提條件是必須與其相應的ER結合[4],因此,組織中ER的表達情況直接影響著E2所能發(fā)揮的生理效應。此外,研究也已證實,性類固醇激素及其與受體的相互作用是誘導調(diào)節(jié)魚類性腺發(fā)育、成熟的重要信號途徑[5]。在魚類的研究中發(fā)現(xiàn),ER共有3種類型,分別為ERα、ERβa和 ERβb[5-6],但只有ERα具有雌激素效應[7]。
銀鯧(Pampus argenteus)隸屬鯧科(Stromateidae),鯧屬,是我國主要的海產(chǎn)經(jīng)濟魚類之一,市場需求度大,具有較高的養(yǎng)殖開發(fā)潛力。近些年來,盡管國內(nèi)在銀鯧人工繁育及養(yǎng)殖方面取得了一系列技術突破與成果[8-12],但仍存在諸多限制因素致使其產(chǎn)業(yè)化養(yǎng)殖推廣至今尚未實現(xiàn)。缺乏適宜且高效的親體培育所需飼料就是其中主要的限制因素之一,并由此導致養(yǎng)殖銀鯧親體性腺發(fā)育欠佳,配子質(zhì)量較差,育苗成活率低。目前,關于銀鯧營養(yǎng)飼料方面的研究報道主要集中在幼魚階段[13-18],針對養(yǎng)殖親體的研究尚未見有相關報道。本文以與魚類性腺發(fā)育密切相關的基因ERα為立足點,研究了其在銀鯧卵黃發(fā)生期間組織中的基因表達情況,并進一步分析了飼料中n-3 LC-PUFA含量對其組織表達的影響,以期為進一步探討ERα在魚類性腺發(fā)育過程中的作用機理及其調(diào)控機制奠定基礎,并為養(yǎng)殖銀鯧親體人工飼料的合理配制提供參考依據(jù)。

2.2 飼料n-3 LC-PUFA對卵黃發(fā)生期間肝臟ERα基因表達量的影響
飼料n-3 LC-PUFA對卵黃發(fā)生期間肝臟ERα基因表達量的影響見圖2。由圖2可以看出,卵黃發(fā)生中期與后期肝臟ERα表達量與卵黃發(fā)生前期相比呈現(xiàn)顯著性的升高(P<0.05),但是除了SO飼料組外,卵黃發(fā)生后期肝臟ERα表達量雖有升高趨勢,但與卵黃發(fā)生中期并無顯著性差異(P>0.05)。在卵黃發(fā)生前期,各飼料組間肝臟ERα表達量無顯著性差異(P>0.05)。在卵黃發(fā)生中期,F(xiàn)O與FSO組肝臟ERα表達量均顯著高于SFO與SO組(P<0.05),但FO與FSO組間、SFO與SO組間并無顯著性差異(P>0.05)。在卵黃發(fā)生后期,F(xiàn)O與FSO組肝臟ERα表達量均顯著高于SO組(P<0.05),但FO與FSO組間、FSO與SFO組間、SFO與SO組間均無顯著性差異(P>0.05)。
2.3 飼料n-3 LC-PUFA對卵黃發(fā)生期間卵巢ERα基因表達量的影響

本研究分離克隆得到銀鯧ERα基因的部分cDNA片段,經(jīng)BLAST比對,所得序列與大黃魚、舌齒鱸、美洲條紋狼鱸(Morone saxatilis)、真鯛(Chrysophrys major)、莫桑比克羅非魚(Oreochromis mossambicus)、布氏新亮麗鯛(Neolamprologus brichardi)以及斜帶石斑魚(Epinephelus coioides)ERα基因序列的一致性依次為93%、93%、92%、91%、91%、90%和89%,表明了本文所得序列確實為銀鯧ERα基因,保障了本實驗后續(xù)研究內(nèi)容的準確性。
ER是一種蛋白質(zhì)分子,于靶細胞內(nèi)與激素發(fā)生特異性結合形成激素-受體復合物,進而保障激素發(fā)揮其應有的生物學效應[4,20]。研究證實,魚類3種ER中,僅ERα具有雌激素效應[7]。本研究結果顯示,在卵黃發(fā)生中、后期(即卵巢III~IV期),肝臟與卵巢中ERα基因表達量顯著升高,表明ERα在銀鯧卵巢發(fā)育、成熟過程中具有至關重要的生理作用。魚類在卵巢發(fā)育、成熟過程中需要積累大量的卵黃蛋白,用于胚胎及幼體早期發(fā)育階段主要的營養(yǎng)來源,而此過程則需要E2與ERα的介導。已有資料顯示,卵泡分泌的E2通過血液運輸至肝臟并與肝細胞中的ERα結合,進而發(fā)揮其生物學效應,誘導肝臟合成卵黃蛋白原[2-3]。這進一步解釋了本實驗中銀鯧肝臟ERα基因表達量在卵黃發(fā)生中、后期顯著升高的原因。本實驗中卵巢ERα基因表達量在卵黃發(fā)生中、后期顯著升高的原因推測可能與其卵子的成熟密切相關。PANKHURST等[21]研究發(fā)現(xiàn),卵巢組織中E2的分泌及其與受體的結合如果受阻,將導致大西洋鮭(Salmo salar)卵子發(fā)育受阻、繁殖性能顯著降低。趙梅琳等[22]在對綠鰭馬面鲀(Navodon septentrionalis)的研究中也發(fā)現(xiàn),卵巢中ERα基因表達量在其發(fā)育、成熟過程中呈現(xiàn)逐漸升高的趨勢,且在繁殖期達到最高值,表明ERα與魚類生殖周期存在密切關聯(lián),在性腺發(fā)育過程中發(fā)揮著重要的生理作用。
表4 飼料與卵黃發(fā)生時期對組織中ERα表達量影響的雙因素分析Tab.4 Results of two-way ANOVA analysis used to study the effects of diet and stages of vitellogenesis on them RNA expression levels of ERα gene in tissues.
本研究結果顯示,飼料中較高的n-3LCPUFA可顯著提高組織中ERα基因的表達量。徐永江等[20]、方永強等[23]研究均發(fā)現(xiàn),E2與ERα在魚類卵巢發(fā)育過程中,其在卵細胞中的表達具有明顯的一致性,這間接表明了E2與ERα間具有一定程度的相互反饋調(diào)節(jié)機制。李惠云等[24]使用一種環(huán)境雌激素(雙酚 A)誘導雌性鯽(Carassius auratus),發(fā)現(xiàn)環(huán)境雌激素可誘導其肝臟ERα基因表達與血清E2水平同步明顯升高。盡管目前尚未見有關飼料組成影響魚類ERα基因表達的研究報道,但飼料組成影響魚類性類固醇激素(如E2)分泌的研究已有一些報道。李遠友等[25]在對花尾胡椒鯛(Plectorhynchus cinctus)親體的研究報道中指出,飼料中適宜的必需脂肪酸含量可顯著提高魚類機體內(nèi)性類固醇激素的分泌,保障其卵子的發(fā)生及正常成熟,而飼料中必需脂肪酸含量不足則會導致機體E2分泌水平的顯著降低,嚴重影響其生殖性能。同樣,在對施氏鱘(Acipenser schrenckii)成魚的研究中也發(fā)現(xiàn),飼料中添加2%的大豆卵磷脂可有效提高其血清E2的質(zhì)量濃度[26]。眾所周知,肝臟合成卵黃蛋白原并轉運至卵巢組織中以卵黃蛋白的形式存儲,這是魚類卵巢發(fā)育、成熟過程中的關鍵環(huán)節(jié),這一環(huán)節(jié)的實現(xiàn)必需依靠E2與ERα的介導,而脂類特別是n-3LC-PUFA則是合成卵黃蛋白原的主要營養(yǎng)素之一。因此,可以推測n-3LCPUFA、E2與ERα3者間勢必存在一定的關聯(lián)性。本實驗中較高的n-3LC-PUFA含量在卵黃快速發(fā)育時期顯著提高了肝臟及卵巢中ERα基因的表達量,其原因可能與上述推測不無關系,但飼料中n-3LC-PUFA影響ERα基因表達量的生理及分子機制仍需要進一步的研究探討。
從本研究結果還可看出,銀鯧在卵黃發(fā)生過程中肝臟中ERα基因表達量一直明顯高于卵巢組織,表明ERα基因表達在不同組織間存在一定的差異性。在金魚(Carassius auratus)的研究中發(fā)現(xiàn),雌、雄金魚其垂體中ERα基因的表達量是最高的,而在腦、性腺、肝臟、肌肉、心臟及腸道中的表達量則很低[27]。而斑馬魚(Danio rerio)中的ERα基因則在大腦、垂體、肝臟及性腺中均具有非常高的表達量[28]。此外,趙梅琳等[22]在對綠鰭馬面鲀的研究中得出,雌魚中ERα基因在垂體、心臟和卵巢中的表達量最高,而腦、肝臟、胃、腎及肌肉組織中的表達量次之。由以上研究結果可以得出,ERα基因不僅在組織間存在表達差異,而且這種組織間差異在不同魚種之間也不盡相同。
綜上可知,銀鯧卵黃發(fā)生期間肝臟及卵巢中ERα基因表達量的變化與卵巢的發(fā)育、成熟過程密切相關,且飼料中較高的n-3LC-PUFA含量(4% ~5%)可明顯提高其組織中的表達量,同時,雙因素分析結果還顯示,不同實驗飼料與卵黃發(fā)生的不同時期對銀鯧肝臟及性腺組織中ERα基因表達量均具有顯著的交互作用。

It has been reported that n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids(n-3 LC-PUFAs)such as eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA,20:5n-3)and docosahexaenoic acid(DHA,22∶6n-3)play critical roles in cell permeability and enzyme activity.Marine teleosts can not synthesize LC-PUFAs from 18-carbon precursors due to a deficiency inΔ5-desaturase.Therefore,it is imperative that teleost diets contain LC-PUFAs.The importance of LC-PUFAs,especially n-3 LC-PUFAs,in fish broodstock nutrition has been extensively studied.Dietary n-3 LC-PUFAs affect spawning performance,egg and larval quality,and egg fatty acidcomposition of broodstock.In humans,fatty acids,especially PUFAs,are cell signaling molecules,structural compounds and energy sources.PUFAs are crucial for mediating immunological,metabolic,and endocrine signals within the uterine-fetal-placental unit.PUFAs are precursors of cell signaling molecules(e.g.,eicosanoids),and there is evidence that they regulate membrane signal transduction pathways and steroid hormone action,by modulating the binding of estrogen,progesterone,and glucocorticoids to their intracellular receptors.Therefore,PUFAs act as endogenous modulators of key enzymes involved in steroid metabolism.While most studies have focused on the effects of diet on body composition,growth performance,egg quality and larval survival rate,few studies have investigated the effects of nutrients on hormone synthesis during gonadogenesis.Pituitary gonadotropin hormone(GtH),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),and luteinizing hormone(LH)are involved in gametogenesis and sexual maturation in teleosts.In response to GtH,cholesterol is converted into testosterone(T)and 17β-estradiol(E2).Sex steroid hormones play important roles in vertebrate reproduction.In several teleost species,E2and T,which are produced in gonadal tissues under the control of GtH,are essential in gametogenesis.Estrogen receptors(ER)are members of steroid receptor family of ligand-activated nuclear receptors and interact as homo-or heterodimers on estrogen responsive elements of target gene promoters to enhance or repress transcription.A key step in thematuration process is the production of E2by the developing ovarian follicle.E2is transported in the bloodstream to the liver where it binds to ER in the hepatocyte cytoplasm.The E2-ER complex in turn acts as a promoter for the expression of the gene or genes coding for Vtg,which is then sequestered into the developing oocyte through a process of receptor-mediated endocytosis.Pampus argenteusis a novel aquaculture species in China.In spite of important technical development and intense research in silver pomfret,some bottlenecks still limit the expansion of its industry.One is the lack of a suitable formulated diet for broodstock,which leads to the poor quality of gonads in cultured broodstock.The effects of diet on the body composition and growth performance of juvenile silver pomfret have been extensively studied.However,there is little evidence on the effects of diet on the reproductive system.The objective of this study is to investigate the molecular cloning ofERαfrom silver pomfret,and the response of its expression to dietary n-3 LC-PUFA levels during vitellogenesis.In the present study,the partial cDNA ofERαwas cloned from silver pomfretPampus argenteus,which was 196 bp,encoding 65 amino acids.The results of BLAST showed that the sequence was 89-93%similar to those of other fish species,implying that the obtained sequence was theERαof silver pomfret.For the purpose of studying the changes of tissueERαgene expression during vitellogenesis and the response of its expression to dietary n-3 LC-PUFA levels,four iso-nitrogenous,iso-energetic,and iso-lipidic(16%lipids)experimental dietswere formulated:100%fish oil(FO),70%fish oil and 30%soybean oil(FSO),30%fish oil and 70%soybean oil(SFO),and 100%soybean oil.Female silver pomfret(1 y of age)were assigned to one of the four diets(with three replicates each)for 185 days.The results showed that hepatic and ovarianERαgene expression in vitellogenesis and post-vitellogenesis stages were significantly higher than those in pre-vitellogenesis(P<0.05).HepaticERαgene expression levels in the postvitellogenesis stage were higher than those in vitellogenesis stage,but not significantly(except SO group).However,the ovarianERα gene expression levels changed constantly and significantly during vitellogenesis(P<0.05).In pre-vitellogenesis,there was no significant difference in hepatic and ovarianERα gene expression levels among groups.However,in vitellogenesis and post-vitellogenesis stages,F(xiàn)O and FSO had higherERαgene expression levels than SO(P<0.05).The results of two-way ANOVA indicated that statistically significant effects of both diets and stages were observed for the tissueERα gene expression,meanwhile significant effects of diet and stage interactions were also recorded.
