RNA analysis has been applied to forensic work to determine wound age. We investigated mRNA expression using quantitative RT-PCR of ten genes, including c-fos, fosB, mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), CD14, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 9 (CCL9), placenta growth factor (PlGF), mast cell protease-5 (MCP-5), growth arrest specific 5 (Gas5), beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) and major urinary protein-1 (MUP-1), in terms of repair response in adult mice. The expression level of c-fos, fosB and MKP-1 transcripts increased drastically, peaked within 1h, and that of the CD14 and CCL9 transcripts peaked from 12 to 24h. An increase in PlGF and MCP-5 mRNA appeared on about day 5. Gas5, B2M and MUP-1 transcripts showed no significant change. Each gene had differentially expressional patterns with time-course. Our result implied that the observation of the 7 genes in wounded skin could serve to aid in the accurate diagnosis of wound age.
RNA分析已应用于法医工作以确定伤口年龄。我们使用定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)研究了成年小鼠十个基因的mRNA表达,这些基因包括c-fos、fosB、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶磷酸酶-1(MKP-1)、CD14、趋化因子(C-C基序)配体9(CCL9)、胎盘生长因子(PlGF)、肥大细胞蛋白酶-5(MCP-5)、生长停滞特异性蛋白5(Gas5)、β2微球蛋白(B2M)和主要尿蛋白-1(MUP-1),以了解其在修复反应方面的情况。c-fos、fosB和MKP-1转录本的表达水平急剧上升,在1小时内达到峰值,而CD14和CCL9转录本的峰值出现在12至24小时。PlGF和MCP-5 mRNA在大约第5天出现增加。Gas5、B2M和MUP-1转录本未显示出显著变化。每个基因都有随时间变化的差异表达模式。我们的结果表明,观察伤口皮肤中的这7个基因有助于准确诊断伤口年龄。
