早期妊娠兔胚泡液凝集素结合糖蛋白的变化

本文以凝集素为探针,利用蛋白质免疫印渍分析法(Western Blot)观察了家兔妊娠早期(D4至D12,交配日定为D_0)胚泡液中ConA,WGA和PNA三种凝集素结合糖蛋白的变化规律,并用凝胶扫描仪及其分析软件对定性结果作了定量分析。根据实验发现,着床前D4,D6胚泡液中含有分子量约为70 kd的ConA结合糖蛋白,42kd和25kd的WGA结合糖蛋白,180kd和75kd的PNA结合糖蛋白,它们均于着床后消失。可见这几种糖蛋白为阶段特异性糖蛋白,与妊娠识别及着床密切相关。     

兔早期胚泡特异肽的cDNA克隆

从家兔受精后第6天(着床前)的早期胚泡构建cDNA文库,经阶段特异分子杂交筛选,克隆了仅在此时期表达的9种胚泡特异肽类的cDNA对其中一种丰度较高的cDNA克隆进行了研究,测出其编码区含有285碱基对,5'和3'侧翼区各有132和170碱基对.经DNA序列分析,推导出一种分泌性多肽的一级结构,由75个氨基酸组成.计算机分析显示它与迄今报道的所有基因和蛋白在结构上无任何同源性.     

VARIATIONS OF LECTIN-BINDING GLYCOPROTEINS IN EARLY PREGNANT RABBIT EMBRYO

In the present study, the quantitative and qualitative changes of three kinds of lectinbinding glycoproteins of early pregnant rabbit embryos (D4—D12) were analyzed. The technique of Western blot, as well as video densitometer scanning and its analytic software was used for analysis. Results found that there were five specific lectin-binding glycoproteins in Day 4 to Day 6 blastocyst fluids: one ConA-binding glycoprotein about 70 kD, two WGA-binding glycoproteins respectively about 42 kD and 25kD and two PNA-binding glycoprotein respectively about 180kD and 75kD. They disappeared immediately after implan tation, It is demonstrated that there are stage-specific glycoproteins in rabbit blastocyst fluid which might be relevant to the recognition of pregnancy and implantation.
