摘要:HDAC8作为组蛋白家族Ⅰ的一种去乙酰化酶,它广泛地存在于细胞质中,由非组蛋白底物的介导而参与诸多的生理和病理过程;然而,其在卵母细胞减数分裂中的作用尚不明确。在本研究中,免疫荧光的分析表明HDAC8在卵母细胞减数分裂中定位于纺锤体两极,并参与微管组装的调控。RNAi对HDAC8的敲低导致了MⅠ期卵母细胞纺锤体形态的畸变以及动粒-微管结合的破坏,并引起染色体排列的紊乱和非整倍体的产生。同时,HDAC8特异性的抑制剂PCI-34051对卵母细胞的抑制处理也引起了相似的纺锤体/染色体异常的发生。此外,HDAC8对于γ-tubulin在纺锤体的定位也不可或缺。上述结果表明HDAC8在卵母细胞减数分裂中密切调控着纺锤体的组装以及染色体的分离,从而确保正常整倍体的产生。31342 毕业论文关键词:HDAC8;纺锤体组装;染色体排列;整倍体;γ-tubulin
Study of the role and mechanism of HDAC8 during mouse oocyte meiosis
Abstract: HDAC8 is a classⅠhistone deacetylase that has been found to widely distribute in cytoplasm and involved in numerous biological processes via its non-histone substrates. However, the role of this enzyme in oocyte meiosis remains unclear. Here, in this study we have found, by immunofluorescent analysis, that HDAC8 localizes at spindle poles and dynamically participates in the regulation of microtubule organization during mouse oocyte meiosis. Depletion of HDAC8 by RNAi results in severe malformated spindle microtubules and impaired kinetochore-microtubule attachments in MⅠeggs, consequently leading to the misalignment of chromosomes and generation of aneuploidy. Analogously, these abnormities of spindle/chromosome are also observed in oocytes treated with HDAC8-selective inhibitor PCI-34051. What's more, we have also found that HDAC8 is required for the right localization of γ-tubulin. Taken together, these results indicate that HDAC8 positively functions in spindle assembley and chromosome assortment, thus ensuring the generation of normal euploidy in mouse oocytes.
