摘要: 目的 研究CD4+淋巴细胞系中转录因子cAMP反应元件结合蛋白(CREB)对miR-30a的表达调节作用。方法 利用UCSC和Ensembl网站确定miR-30a基因启动子区;EMBOSS Cpgplot网站分析启动子区DNA序列的甲基化情况;ECR Browser网站分析启动子区转录因子结合区域及其保守性;JASPAR数据库筛选启动子区结合的转录因子;染色质免疫沉淀检测小鼠CD4+淋巴细胞中miR-30a基因启动子区CREB的结合量;依据培养基中是否添加CREB抑制剂KG-501将小鼠CD4+淋巴细胞分为对照组、溶剂对照组和KG-501处理组,RT-qPCR检测KG-501对细胞中miR-30a表达的影响。结果 miR-30a基因启动子区未发现可被甲基化的CpG岛;启动子区含有高保守性的转录因子结合序列,其中包含多个CREB的结合位点;转录因子CREB直接结合于miR-30a基因启动子区的上游区段;添加KG-501可明显下调细胞中miR-30a的表达(P<0.05)。结论 转录因子CREB直接结合于小鼠CD4+淋巴细胞中miR-30a基因启动子区的特定位点,调节miR-30a的表达。

Abstract: Objective To study the regulatory effect of the transcription factor cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) on the expression of miR-30a in CD4+ lymphocytes. Methods The promoter region of miR-30a gene was determined by UCSC and Ensembl website. The methylation of DNA sequence in the promoter region was calculated on EMBOSS Cpgplot website. The transcription factor binding region and its conservation were analyzed via ECR Browser website. The special binding transcription factors were predicted with support from JASPAR database. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was used to confirm the binding of CREB in the promoter region of miR-30a gene in mouse CD4+ lymphocytes. According to whether CREB inhibitor KG-501 was added to the culture medium, mouse CD4+ lymphocytes were divided into three groups, control, vehicle and KG-501 treated group. The effect of KG-501 on the expression of miR-30a in the cells was detected by RT-qPCR. Results None methylated CpG islands were found in the promoter region of miR-30a gene. The promoter region contained highly conserved transcription factor binding sequences, including several CREB binding sites. Transcription factor CREB bound to the upstream of miR-30a gene promoter region. KG-501 significantly down-regulated the expression of miR-30a(P<0.05). Conclusions Transcription factor CREB binds to specific sites in the promoter region of miR-30a gene to regulate the expression of miR-30a in mouse CD4+ lymphocytes.
