We have examined the mRNA levels and methylation patterns of the interferon-inducible 2',5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) synthetase gene in skin fibroblasts derived from AD and age/sex-matched control subjects. Northern or slot hybridization analysis of total RNA showed a 63% and 46% decrease in the steady state level of 2-5A synthetase mRNA in AD cells as compared to controls, following a 24 h and 48 h treatment with IFN-beta ser. The 2-5A synthetase gene as studied by Southern analysis using the methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes HpaII and Msp I was found to be hypomethylated in AD cells. No difference in methylation patterns of the actin gene existed between control and AD fibroblasts.
我们检测了来自特应性皮炎(AD)患者以及年龄/性别匹配的对照受试者的皮肤成纤维细胞中干扰素诱导的2',5'-寡腺苷酸(2-5A)合成酶基因的mRNA水平和甲基化模式。对总RNA进行的Northern或狭缝杂交分析显示,在用IFN-β血清处理24小时和48小时后,与对照相比,AD细胞中2-5A合成酶mRNA的稳态水平分别降低了63%和46%。使用对甲基化敏感的限制性内切酶HpaII和Msp I通过Southern分析研究发现,2-5A合成酶基因在AD细胞中发生了低甲基化。对照和成纤维细胞的肌动蛋白基因甲基化模式没有差异。
