Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression profile of mRNAs in brain samples collected from pronuclear transfer (PNT) mice. Methods Female CD-1 mice were superovulated, and zygotes were collected after mating with adult male mice. Zygotes with two pronuclei were selected for pronuclear transfer manipulation, and then the reconstructed zygotes were transferred into the oviduct of pseudopregnant female mice. The infant mice obtained from pronuclear transfer were called PNT group, while the embryoes that were not performed pronuclear transfer was regarded as control group. Total RNA were extracted from brain samples of both PNT and control mice, and cDNA were labeled with fluorescent dye. Genes that were differentially expressed were identified using the Agilent mouse mRNA array. Gene ontology analysis and pathway analysis were also completed. Results Compared with control group, 392 mRNAs were expressed differentially, which showed more than 2.0 times variation and statistical significance, accounting for 1.7% of all mRNAs. Among those 366 mRNAs were up-regulated and 26 mRNAs were down-regulated. Eleven mRNAs came to 4.0 times variation in total. Gene ontology analysis indicated that differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in alternative mRNA splicing, small GTPase mediated signal transduction, regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway, hydrolase activity, transmembrane transporter activity and pyrophosphatase activity. Significant enriched pathway terms contained ion channel transport, fatty acid metabolism, butanoate metabolism, triacylglycerol and ketone body metabolism. Conclusion Pronuclear transfer might influence some key metabolism process in mouse brain.
