摘要:

目的 筛选一套覆盖大鼠1~20号常染色体和X染色体、每条染色体含2~4个短串联重复序列(short tandem repeat,STR,又称“微卫星”)位点的组合,并建立适用于5个常用近交系大鼠品系的遗传污染检测及品系鉴定的一套专用位点。 方法 取6~8周龄的F344、BN、DA、Lewis、PVG品系大鼠各6只(雌雄各半),抽提鼠尾组织基因组DNA。从国家标准GB 14923—2022和文献中分别遴选27和34个大鼠STR位点,共计61个。采用单重PCR扩增结合毛细管电泳技术对5个近交系大鼠品系样本进行分型,利用GeneMapper ID v3.2软件分析STR基因型数据。基于STR分型结果,通过GenAlEx 6.51b2软件计算品系间遗传距离,并借助MEGA7软件构建遗传进化树。 结果 在61个STR位点中,D15mit3存在非特异性扩增,D3wox7无特异性扩增产物,LCA、AGT、D5Hmgc2在5个品系间无多态性差异,其余56个STR位点具有品系间多态性,且覆盖大鼠1~20号常染色体和X染色体(每条染色体有2~4个STR位点)。其中42个STR位点可用于近交系大鼠遗传污染检测。D7wox14、D15rat123、D20wox3在5个品系中的扩增产物长度存在品系间差异,可用于品系鉴定。遗传进化树显示,BN与F344的STR位点等位基因差异数为49,遗传距离达1.775,二者遗传分化程度最高、亲缘关系最远;5个品系之间,F344、DA、PVG聚为一支,表明三者遗传距离相对较近;BN和Lewis品系聚为一支,表明二者遗传距离相对较近,5个品系的遗传亲缘关系与既往报道一致。 结论 本研究成功筛选到一套可用于F344、BN、DA、Lewis、PVG这5个常用近交系大鼠品系分子遗传检测的STR位点,并建立了分别用于遗传污染检测与品系间鉴定的专用位点组合。

Abstract:

Objective To screen a set of short tandem repeat (STR) markers covering rat chromosomes 1-20 and the X chromosome, with 2-4 markers on each chromosome, and establish a dedicated marker panel for genetic contamination detection and strain identification of 5 commonly used inbred rat strains. Methods Six 6-8 week-old rats (half male and half female) were selected from F344, BN, DA, Lewis, and PVG strain, respectively. Genomic DNA was extracted from rat tail tissues. A total of 61 STR markers were selected, including 27 from the national standard GB 14923—2022 and 34 from the literature. Singleplex STR PCR amplification combined with capillary electrophoresis was used for genotyping of the 5 inbred rat strains, and genotype data were analyzed using GeneMapper ID v3.2 software. Based on the STR genotyping results, genetic distances between strains were calculated with GenAlEx 6.51b2 software, and a phylogenetic tree of the inbred rat strains was constructed using MEGA7 software. Results Among the 61 STR markers, non-specific amplification was observed for D15mit3, while no specific amplification product was obtained for D3wox7. LCA, AGT, and D5Hmgc2 exhibited no inter-strain polymorphism across the 5 inbred strains, while the remaining 56 markers exhibited inter-strain polymorphism. These 56 markers covered rat chromosomes 1-20 and the X chromosome (2-4 markers per chromosome). Among them, 42 markers could be used for genetic contamination detection in inbred rat strains. The amplified product lengths of D7wox14, D15rat123, and D20wox3 differed among the 5 strains, which could be applied for strain identification. The phylogenetic tree showed that the number of STR allelic differences between BN and F344 strains was 49, with a genetic distance of 1.775, both of which were the highest among all strain pairs. This indicated that the two strains exhibited the highest level of genetic differentiation and were the most distantly related. Among the 5 strains, F344, DA, and PVG clustered together, indicating their relatively close genetic distance, while BN and Lewis formed another cluster, indicating a relatively close genetic distance between them. The genetic relationships among the 5 strains were consistent with previous reports. Conclusion This study successfully screened a set of STR markers for molecular genetic detection of 5 commonly used inbred rat strains, including F344, BN, DA, Lewis, and PVG, and established specific marker combinations for genetic contamination detection and strain identification, respectively.
