본 연구는 한우의 난포낭종 및 황체낭종에서 세포자멸사 관련 유전자의 발현 변화를 조사함으로써 난소낭종과 세포자 멸사간의 관계를 정리하고자 한다. 마이크로어레이 분석 결과, 난포낭종에서 PIK3R2와 AKT1가 유의하게 증가하였고, 황체낭종에서는 증가되는 세포자멸사 관련 DEGs, TNF-RAF2, PRLR, FOXL2, STK4 및 COL4A3와 감소하는 DEGs, INHA, CIDEB, BCL10 및 FASLG가 포함되었다. 정량적 역전사 중합 효소

영어 초록

This study was carried out to investigate expression of apoptosis-related differentially expressed gene (DEG) in ovaries of Korean cattle with follicular and luteal cysts and to identify the relationship between cyst and apoptosis using microarray, real-time PCR, TUNEL staining, and Western blot analysis. Microarray data showed that PIK3R2 and AKT1 were significantly up-regulated in follicular cyst, and TNF-RAF2, PRLR, FOXL2, STK4, and COL4A3 were up-regulated whereas INHA, CIDEB, BCL10, and FASLG were down-regulated in luteal cyst. Real-time PCR was performed to validate DEGs altered in luteal cyst. Of nine DEGs, four DEGs down-regulated in luteal cyst showed a positive corelation between microarray data and real-time PCR data. In this study, we focused on INHA, among many DEGs, which was highly down-regulated in both follicular and luteal cysts. Real-time PCR and micro array data showed that INHA was down-regulated by 12.3-fold and by 1.4-fold, respectively, in the bovine follicular cyst. TUNEL assay and Western blot analysis for ERK, JNK, p38, PI3K, and Akt, which were used to detect whether apoptosis is occurred, showed no significant changes in cystic ovaries (p>0.05). In the expression and activity of caspase-3, Bax, Bel-2, and Bel-xL, there was no significant changes between follicular cystic ovary and normal ovary. Rather, the expression levels of PI3K and p-Akt were decreased in follicular cystic ovary. These results suggest that deficiency of apoptosis in cystic ovary is associated with decreased expression of apoptotic effectors.
