BACKGROUND The Smad proteins function in TGF-β signalling transduction. In the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the co-Smad, DAF-3 mediates R-Smads and performs a central role in DAF-7 signal transduction, regulating dauer formation and reproductive processes. Considering the divergent evolutionary patterns of the DAF-7 signalling pathway in parasitic nematodes, it is meaningful to explore the structure and function of DAF-3 in parasitic nematodes, such as Haemonchus contortus. METHODS A daf-3 gene (Hc-daf-3) and its predicted product (Hc-DAF-3) were identified from H. contortus and characterised using integrated genomic and genetic approaches. In addition to immunohistochemistry employed to localise Hc-DAF-3 within adult worm sections, real-time PCR was conducted to assess the transcriptional profiles in different developmental stages of H. contortus and RNA interference (RNAi) was performed in vitro to assess the functional importance of Hc-daf-3 in the development of H. contortus. RESULTS Hc-DAF-3 sequences predicted from Hc-daf-3 displayed typical features of the co-Smad subfamily. The native Hc-DAF-3 was localised to the gonad and cuticle of adult parasites. In addition, Hc-daf-3 was transcribed in all developmental stages studied, with a higher level in the third-stage larvae (L3) and adult females. Moreover, silencing Hc-daf-3 by RNAi retarded L4 development. CONCLUSION The findings of the present study demonstrated an important role of Hc-DAF-3 in the development of H. contortus larvae.

DAF-3共Smad分子在捻角猴的发育中起作用。

背景技术Smad蛋白在TGF-β信号转导中起作用。在线虫秀丽隐杆线虫模型中,共Smad,DAF-3介导R-Smads,并在DAF-7信号转导,调节dauer形成和生殖过程中发挥核心作用。考虑到DAF-7信号通路在寄生线虫中的不同进化模式,探索DAF-3在诸如Haemonchus contortus等寄生线虫中的结构和功能是有意义的。方法从contortus中鉴定出daf-3基因(Hc-daf-3)及其预测产物(Hc-DAF-3),并采用基因组和遗传学方法进行鉴定。除了用于将Hc-DAF-3定位在成虫蠕虫部分内的免疫组织化学外,还进行了实时PCR来评估H的不同发育阶段的转录谱。在体外进行了Contortus和RNA干扰(RNAi)评估,以评估Hc-daf-3在Contortus发育中的功能重要性。结果从Hc-daf-3预测的Hc-DAF-3序列显示了co-Smad亚家族的典型特征。天然的Hc-DAF-3定位于成虫的性腺和角质层。此外,在研究的所有发育阶段都转录了Hc-daf-3,在第三阶段幼虫(L3)和成年雌性中含量较高。此外,RNAi使Hc-daf-3沉默可延缓L4的发育。结论本研究的结果证明了Hc-DAF-3在旋毛虫幼虫的发育中具有重要作用。结果从Hc-daf-3预测的Hc-DAF-3序列显示了co-Smad亚家族的典型特征。天然的Hc-DAF-3定位于成虫的性腺和角质层。此外,在研究的所有发育阶段都转录了Hc-daf-3,在第三阶段幼虫(L3)和成年雌性中含量较高。此外,RNAi使Hc-daf-3沉默可延缓L4的发育。结论本研究的结果证明了Hc-DAF-3在旋毛虫幼虫的发育中具有重要作用。结果从Hc-daf-3预测的Hc-DAF-3序列显示了co-Smad亚家族的典型特征。天然的Hc-DAF-3定位于成虫的性腺和角质层。此外,在研究的所有发育阶段都转录了Hc-daf-3,在第三阶段幼虫(L3)和成年雌性中含量较高。此外,RNAi使Hc-daf-3沉默可延缓L4的发育。结论本研究的结果证明了Hc-DAF-3在旋毛虫幼虫的发育中具有重要作用。RNAi使Hc-daf-3沉默可延缓L4的发育。结论本研究的结果证明了Hc-DAF-3在旋毛虫幼虫的发育中具有重要作用。RNAi使Hc-daf-3沉默可延缓L4的发育。结论本研究的结果证明了Hc-DAF-3在旋毛虫幼虫的发育中具有重要作用。
