项目摘要

Prior research has proposed mucin as a potential receptor for the ETEC colonization factor CS6. We performed RNA sequencing and subsequent differential gene expression analysis on INT407 and Caco-2 cell lines, which display high and low CS6 binding affinity, respectively. Based on gene expression profiles and previous findings, Mucin 1 and Mucin 16, two trans-membrane glycoproteins, were selected as potential receptor candidates. Using shRNA interference through lentiviral delivery, we created knockdown strains of these candidates in the INT407 cell line. We assessed knockdown efficiencies at both RNA and protein levels employing RT-qPCR and ELISA. We analyzed the adhesion of ETEC CS6 to the knockdown cells and compared it with control and non-target knockdown cells, finding no significant decrease in the number of adhesive bacteria. Additionally, we conducted immuno-fluorescent assays on the adhesion of EYFP-expressing ETEC bacteria to INT407 cells to observe co-localization of Mucin 1 and Mucin 16 with the CS6-expressing bacteria. The results demonstrated that Mucin 1 did not co-localize with ETEC 4266, and various antibodies were unable to distinctly label Mucin 16 in INT407 cells. These findings suggest that the transmembrane proteins Mucin 1 and Mucin 16 may not be potential receptors for CS6.

先前的研究已经提出粘蛋白作为ETEC定植因子CS6的潜在受体。我们对INT 407和Caco-2细胞系进行了RNA测序和随后的差异基因表达分析，这两种细胞系分别显示出高和低的CS6结合亲和力。基于基因表达谱和以前的研究结果，选择两种跨膜糖蛋白Mucin 1和Mucin 16作为潜在的受体候选物。通过慢病毒递送使用shRNA干扰，我们在INT 407细胞系中创建了这些候选物的敲低菌株。我们采用RT-qPCR和ELISA评估了RNA和蛋白质水平的敲低效率。我们分析了ETEC CS6对敲除细胞的粘附，并将其与对照和非靶敲除细胞进行了比较，发现粘附细菌的数量没有显著减少。此外，我们对表达EYFP的ETEC细菌与INT 407细胞的粘附进行了免疫荧光测定，以观察粘蛋白1和粘蛋白16与表达CS6的细菌的共定位。结果表明，粘蛋白1不与ETEC 4266共定位，并且各种抗体无法明确标记INT 407细胞中的粘蛋白16。这些发现表明跨膜蛋白Mucin 1和Mucin 16可能不是CS6的潜在受体。
