摘要
兔64 kDa输卵管蛋白(DPF-1)具克服小鼠早胚发育阻断的作用。进一步分析的结果表明DPF-1的等电点介于7.2-8.1;其合成与分泌对雌激素或孕激素无明显依赖性,能穿越透明带,紧密附着在早胚细胞膜周围。借助于Western blotting分析法,发现DPF-1的分布具组织专一性,仅存在于输卵管,而新西兰白兔子宫、卵巢、肝脏、心脏、肺、脾脏、骨骼肌、小肠和脑等组织中皆未发现;在所检测的小鼠和金黄田鼠输卵管中,也显示出DPF-1相关分子,小鼠的为71 kDa和32 kDa输卵管蛋白,金黄田鼠的为68 kDa和49 kDa输卵管蛋白。值得注意的是,以DPF-1主动免疫的雌性小鼠,经交配,输卵管中的44.8%早胚发育遭阻断,提示DPF-1在克服早胚发育阻断并实现由母型向合子型基因调控过渡的过程中可能起决定性作用。
Anti-rabbit 64 kDa oviductin (named Development Promoting Factor-1, DPF-1) antibody could inhibit totally the early development of mouse fertilised eggs cultured in the conditioned medium derived from the rabbit oviduct mucosa epithelial cells, revealed that DPF-1 synthesized and secreted from rabbit oviduct mucosa has a function to overcome the developmental block of early mouse embryos. It seems that DPF-1 consists of a group of polypeptide isoforms, since its isoelectric points are ranging from 7.2 to 8.1 (Fig. 3). The synthesis and secretion of DPF-i was not dependent on either 17β-estradiol or progesterone (Fig. 7), it can pass through zona pellucida easily and associate tightly with the early embryonic cell membrane (Fig. 6). By using Western blotting method, we found that DPF-i was not appeared in the tissues of liver, heart, lung, spleen, uterus,
ovary, small intestine, skeleton muscle and brain, but in that of oviduct (Fig. 4): some DPF-1 homologous molecules were also revealed in the oviduct tissues of mouse and golden hamster, their apparent molecular weights were 32 kDa, 72 kDa in mouse, and 49 kDa, 68 kDa in golden hamster (Fig. 5). Results obtained from the in vivo anti-fertility experiment, namely to analyse the anti-fertility effect in adult female mice after active immunization with DPF-l, showed that the fertility decreased significantly as compared to those of controls (p<0.01) (Table 1). DPF-1 and its in vivo 'loss of function' evidence we obtained will encourage us to study the mechanism of DPF-i in overcoming the developmental block of early embryos, and its role in transition from maternal to embryonic control of early development.
