The cDNAs of two types of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) present in human kidney, previously described as types A and B, were isolated using reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) with human kidney mRNA and various sets of primers. The cDNA fragments were cloned and sequenced. Renal FABP type A and B cDNAs appeared to be completely identical to human liver- and heart-type FABP cDNAs respectively. In the second part of this study we demonstrated the presence of liver-type FABP in rat kidney by chromatography, e.l.i.s.a. and immunocytochemistry. The ratio and cellular distribution of the two FABP types varies markedly in human and rat kidney. Using RT-PCR we were also able to prepare and identify liver- and heart-type FABP cDNAs with mRNA from both male and female rat kidney.
利用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR),以人肾信使核糖核酸(mRNA)和多组引物分离出了先前被描述为A 型和B型的存在于人类肾脏中的两种脂肪酸结合蛋白(FABP)的互补脱氧核糖核酸(cDNA)。将这些cDNA片段进行克隆并测序。结果显示,肾脏A型FABP cDNA和B型FABP cDNA分别与人肝脏型和心脏型FABP cDNA完全相同。在本研究的第二部分,我们通过色谱法、酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和免疫细胞化学方法证实了大鼠肾脏中存在肝脏型FABP。在人和大鼠肾脏中,这两种FABP类型的比例和细胞分布存在显著差异。利用RT-PCR,我们还能够从雄性和雌性大鼠肾脏的mRNA中制备并鉴定出肝脏型和心脏型FABP cDNA。
