We determined whether adjuvant arthritis (AA) affects expression of three housekeeping (HK) genes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH), β-actin and 18s ribosomal RNA (18s rRNA) in organs of Sprague-Dawley rats using the real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Expression of 18s rRNA was unaffected by AA whereas that of β-actin was reduced by 52, 62 and 81% in the liver, kidney and intestine, respectively, but not in the heart. AA significantly reduced GAPDH expression in the intestine.
For reliable results, the HK gene must be carefully selected.
我们通过实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)确定佐剂性关节炎(AA)是否影响 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠器官中三种管家(HK)基因,即甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶(GAPDH)、β-肌动蛋白和 18s 核糖体 RNA(18s rRNA)的表达。
AA 对 18s rRNA 的表达没有影响,但分别使肝脏、肾脏和肠道中β-肌动蛋白的表达降低了 52%、62%和 81%,而心脏中没有变化。AA 显著降低了肠道中 GAPDH 的表达。
为了获得可靠的结果,必须仔细选择 HK 基因。
