目的觀察雌激素受體(ERα)特異性抑制劑甲基哌啶吡唑(methyl-piperidino-pyrazole,MPP)對(duì)小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚G1/S期過(guò)渡相關(guān)因子Nanog、cyclin D1和cyclin E表達(dá)水平的影響,闡明ERα對(duì)小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚G1/S期過(guò)渡的作用,為進(jìn)一步探討ERα在小鼠植入前胚合子基因組激活中的作用機(jī)制提供理論依據(jù)。方法收集昆明雌性小鼠與雄性小鼠交配所得的受精卵,分別置于無(wú)MPP的培養(yǎng)液和含20μmol/L MPP的培養(yǎng)液中培養(yǎng),獲取體外發(fā)育的2-細(xì)胞胚,采用免疫熒光染色技術(shù)檢測(cè)細(xì)胞內(nèi)Nanog、cyclin D1和cyclin E水平。結(jié)果免疫熒光染色結(jié)果顯示,含20μmol/L MPP培養(yǎng)液培養(yǎng)的受精卵其體外發(fā)育2-細(xì)胞胚內(nèi)Nanog、cyclin D1和cyclin E免疫反應(yīng)性明顯降低。結(jié)論ERα可通過(guò)調(diào)控小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚內(nèi)Nanog、cyclinD1和cyclinE水平,影響細(xì)胞從G1期到S期的過(guò)渡。

雌激素受體α(estrogen receptor alpha, ERα)是類固醇激素受體超家族成員之一,可通過(guò)經(jīng)典及非經(jīng)典途徑調(diào)控基因表達(dá),對(duì)細(xì)胞與組織的增殖、分化和發(fā)育起著重要作用[1]。前期研究發(fā)現(xiàn),ERα對(duì)小鼠植入前胚體外發(fā)育有一定的作用,經(jīng)ERα特異性抑制劑甲基哌啶吡唑(methyl-piperidino-pyrazole,MPP)處理后,小鼠植入前胚發(fā)育停滯在2-細(xì)胞胚時(shí)期,且合子基因組激活(zygotic gene activation, ZGA)相關(guān)基因MuERV-L mRNA表達(dá)水平下調(diào)[2]。ERα的時(shí)空動(dòng)態(tài)表達(dá)模式也提示,ERα可能調(diào)控小鼠植入前胚第一次卵裂的細(xì)胞周期進(jìn)程,參與ZGA[3]。進(jìn)一步研究發(fā)現(xiàn),經(jīng)MPP作用后,小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚核呈較小的圓形核,屬于G0/G1期細(xì)胞核象,提示MPP處理后小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚(hCG后42h)發(fā)育阻滯于DNA復(fù)制前期。BrdU標(biāo)記實(shí)驗(yàn)顯示,ERα在小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚S期中的作用與S期啟動(dòng)有關(guān)[4]。但ERα是否通過(guò)調(diào)節(jié)2-細(xì)胞胚G1/S期監(jiān)測(cè)點(diǎn)相關(guān)蛋白的表達(dá)來(lái)影響后續(xù)發(fā)育進(jìn)程尚不明了。
研究表明,參與G1/S期過(guò)渡的關(guān)鍵蛋白主要有cyclinD和cyclinE等。脊椎動(dòng)物G1期的細(xì)胞周期素主要有cyclin D1、cyclin D2和cyclin D3,但它們的含量變化并不依賴于細(xì)胞周期進(jìn)程,而主要依賴于細(xì)胞生長(zhǎng)或生長(zhǎng)促進(jìn)信號(hào)[5]。無(wú)論是在正常細(xì)胞中,還是在腫瘤細(xì)胞中,若cyclin D1蛋白表達(dá)受到抑制,則細(xì)胞周期停滯在G1/S期,無(wú)法順利過(guò)渡到后續(xù)發(fā)育階段[6-8]。G1/S期的另一重要調(diào)控因子Cyclin E的角色則更加復(fù)雜,cyclin D1-細(xì)胞周期依賴性蛋白激酶(CDK)4/6只催化部分pRB的磷酸化和E2F的激活,而cyclin E-CDK2可促使E2F完全激活,并通過(guò)pRB蛋白的磷酸化,對(duì)E2F依賴的基因表達(dá)起主要的協(xié)調(diào)作用[9]。大多哺乳動(dòng)物細(xì)胞中DNA的復(fù)制由S期CDKs啟動(dòng),cyclin E-CDk2復(fù)合物作為復(fù)制起始的直接調(diào)控者引起S期CDKs抑制蛋白的酶解[10]。此外,胚胎干細(xì)胞轉(zhuǎn)錄因子Nanog對(duì)細(xì)胞周期的推動(dòng)也有重要作用。Nanog能推動(dòng)高分化的小鼠胚胎干細(xì)胞G1/S期過(guò)渡[11],也可通過(guò)調(diào)控下游的CDK6及CDC25A,推動(dòng)細(xì)胞由G1期進(jìn)入S期[12]。可見(jiàn),Nanog可作用于細(xì)胞周期關(guān)鍵調(diào)控因子,參與G1/S期的過(guò)渡。本研究通過(guò)免疫熒光染色技術(shù)檢測(cè)MPP處理后小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚中Nanog及細(xì)胞周期蛋白cyclin D1和cyclin E的表達(dá)情況,進(jìn)一步闡明ERα在小鼠植入前胚G1/S期過(guò)渡中的作用機(jī)制。

免疫熒光染色觀察顯示,Nanog、cyclin D1和Cyclin E免疫反應(yīng)性在2-細(xì)胞胚的胞質(zhì)和胞核均有分布(圖1A,圖2A,圖3A)。三者在無(wú)MPPKSOM培養(yǎng)的2-細(xì)胞胚內(nèi)核定位更為明顯(圖1A上行,圖2A上行,圖3A上行);經(jīng)MPP處理后,三者在2-細(xì)胞胚核內(nèi)和細(xì)胞整體的水平均顯著降低(圖1A下行,圖2A下行,圖3A下行,圖1B,圖2B,圖3B)。
前期研究表明,ERα特異性抑制劑MPP可抑制小鼠合子型標(biāo)志基因的表達(dá)[2],ERα可能通過(guò)調(diào)節(jié)2-細(xì)胞胚“G1/S期檢測(cè)點(diǎn)”相關(guān)蛋白的功能,影響小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚G1/S期過(guò)渡,進(jìn)而調(diào)控ZGA的發(fā)生,以及后續(xù)的早胚發(fā)育進(jìn)程[4]。Nanog最早被發(fā)現(xiàn)作為轉(zhuǎn)錄因子,對(duì)胚胎干細(xì)胞全能性的維持有重要作用,后期另有大量研究發(fā)現(xiàn)其對(duì)細(xì)胞周期調(diào)控,尤其是G1/S期過(guò)渡亦有重要作用。Nanog表達(dá)水平的改變可影響細(xì)胞周期關(guān)鍵調(diào)節(jié)因子的表達(dá),從而影響細(xì)胞從G1期到S期的過(guò)渡。有研究發(fā)現(xiàn),Nanog的C端可結(jié)合于CDK6和CDC25A的調(diào)控區(qū),從而推動(dòng)人胚胎干細(xì)胞順利由G1期進(jìn)入S期[12]。Nanog可與Oct4、Sox2協(xié)同作用,通過(guò)影響小分子非編碼RNA的表達(dá),調(diào)控細(xì)胞周期:三者共同結(jié)合于miR-302的啟動(dòng)子區(qū)域,減少G1期細(xì)胞數(shù),增加S期細(xì)胞數(shù),促進(jìn)細(xì)胞進(jìn)入S期[13]。Tomonori等人提出CIBZ可通過(guò)PI3K信號(hào)調(diào)控Nanog表達(dá)水平,從而促進(jìn)人胚胎干細(xì)胞G1/S期的進(jìn)程[11]。本研究發(fā)現(xiàn),經(jīng)ERα特異性抑制劑MPP(20μmol/L)處理后,小鼠植入前胚發(fā)育阻滯在2-細(xì)胞階段, Nanog水平降低,提示ERα可能影響小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚中Nanog表達(dá)。
此外,cyclin D1作為G1/S期特異性周期蛋白,推動(dòng)細(xì)胞周期進(jìn)程,促進(jìn)細(xì)胞的增殖。真核生物細(xì)胞周期調(diào)節(jié)存在“開(kāi)關(guān)”樣的調(diào)控模式,細(xì)胞周期依賴性蛋白激酶(CDKs)作為細(xì)胞周期的“按鈕”持續(xù)存在于細(xì)胞中,其活性受到相應(yīng)細(xì)胞周期蛋白(cyclins)的嚴(yán)格調(diào)控,只有當(dāng)細(xì)胞周期蛋白表達(dá)量到達(dá)一定閾值時(shí)方可激活CDKs,從而推動(dòng)細(xì)胞周期進(jìn)程[14]。Cyclin D1通過(guò)結(jié)合并激活G1期CDK4/6,使G1期的抑制蛋白R(shí)b磷酸化失活,與轉(zhuǎn)錄因子E2F解離,E2F轉(zhuǎn)錄因子啟動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)錄相關(guān)基因,從而推動(dòng)細(xì)胞周期由G1期進(jìn)入S期[15-17]。本研究顯示,hCG后45h體外正常發(fā)育小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚核增大,大部分呈蠶豆形核象,此時(shí)處于小鼠植入前胚第二輪細(xì)胞周期的G1/S期的關(guān)鍵調(diào)控時(shí)期,核內(nèi)cyclin D1水平正常,從而順利完成CDK4/6激活,使2-細(xì)胞胚順利過(guò)渡到S期、G2期,啟動(dòng)ZGA,克服“2-細(xì)胞阻滯”,完成后續(xù)發(fā)育。而MPP(20μmol/L)處理后,小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚核則呈較小類圓形G0/G1期細(xì)胞核象,cyclin D1明顯減少,2-細(xì)胞胚發(fā)育停滯在第二輪細(xì)胞周期G0/G1期,而無(wú)法完成后續(xù)的植入前胚發(fā)育進(jìn)程。
G1/S期的Start檢驗(yàn)點(diǎn),是真核生物檢驗(yàn)細(xì)胞是否做好遺傳物質(zhì)復(fù)制的一個(gè)重要檢驗(yàn)點(diǎn),一旦通過(guò)Start點(diǎn)則標(biāo)志著細(xì)胞周期不可逆地開(kāi)啟[18]。Start檢驗(yàn)點(diǎn)的中心事件是G1/S期周期蛋白cyclin E-CDk2復(fù)合物的激活。動(dòng)物細(xì)胞在Start檢驗(yàn)點(diǎn)進(jìn)入細(xì)胞周期為G1-、G1/S-、S-Cdks復(fù)合物的激活所觸發(fā),同時(shí)還伴隨E2F依賴的基因表達(dá)激活[19,20]。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),cyclin E主要在G1末期表達(dá),在S期表達(dá)量達(dá)高峰,以保證G1/S期的順利過(guò)渡以及S期的維持。Cyclin E-CDk2復(fù)合物參與維持Rb、Cdc6、NPAT以及核仁磷酸蛋白的高磷酸化狀態(tài),并且在G1/S期磷酸化P27,誘導(dǎo)其降解,促進(jìn)G1/S的過(guò)渡、S期DNA復(fù)制以及細(xì)胞增殖[21,22]。以上研究表明,cyclin E蛋白表達(dá)量的高低對(duì)CDK2的激活,G1-、G1/S-、S-Cdks復(fù)合物的形成,G1期到S期的順利過(guò)渡,以及S期遺傳物質(zhì)復(fù)制的維持等有重要作用。本研究發(fā)現(xiàn),MPP處理后,小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚cyclin E水平也明顯下降。這些結(jié)果表明,除了Nanog和cyclin D1外,cyclin E也參與ERα在小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚中的調(diào)控作用。
由此可見(jiàn),ERα可通過(guò)調(diào)控小鼠2-細(xì)胞胚內(nèi)Nanog、cyclin D1和cyclin E蛋白的表達(dá)水平,而影響細(xì)胞從G1期到S期的過(guò)渡。但在肝癌細(xì)胞中,敲低Nanog可導(dǎo)致Cyclin D1水平下調(diào),阻滯在G0/G1期的細(xì)胞比率增高,而S期與G2期細(xì)胞明顯減少[23]。那么ERα是否通過(guò)影響Nanog的蛋白表達(dá),從而調(diào)控Cyclin D1、Cyclin E的表達(dá)水平,有待進(jìn)一步研究探討。

ObjectiveTo investigate the efect of estrogen receptor α (ERα) specifc antagonist methyl-piperidino-pyrazole (MPP) on the expression of G1/S transition-related factors Nanog, cyclin D1 and cyclin E in mouse 2-cell embryos, so as to demonstrate the role of ERα in G1/S transition in mouse 2-cell embryos and provide a theoretical basis for further research on the mechanism of the activation of pre-implantation mouse zygotic genome by ERα.MethodsZygotes were collected from Kunming female mice that had been mated with male mice, and cultured in media without MPP and media supplemented with 20mol/L MPP, respectively. The 2-cell embryos were obtained, and the levels of Nanog, cyclin D1 and cyclin E were detected by immunofuorescent staining.ResultsImmunofuorescent staining results showed that the immunoreactivity of Nanog, cyclin D1 and cyclin E in the 2-cell embryos cultured in 20mol/L MPP was obviously lower than in those cultured without MPP treatment.ConclusionERα might afect G1/S transition via regulating the expression of Nanog, cyclin D1 and cyclin E in mouse 2-cell embryos.
