Investigation of Reference Genes in Vibrio parahaemolyticus for Gene Expression Analysis Using Quantitative RT-PCR

چکیده
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a significant human pathogen capable of causing foodborne gastroenteritis associated with the consumption of contaminated raw or undercooked seafood. Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) is a useful tool for studying gene expression in V. parahaemolyticus to characterize its virulence factors and understand the effect of environmental conditions on its pathogenicity. However, there is not a stable gene in V. parahaemolyticus that has been identified for use as a reference gene for qRT-PCR. This study evaluated the stability of 6 reference genes (16S rRNA, recA, rpoS, pvsA, pvuA, and gapdh) in 5 V. parahaemolyticus strains (O3:K6-clinical strain-tdh+, ATCC33846-tdh+, ATCC33847-tdh+, ATCC17802-trh+, and F13-environmental strain-tdh+) cultured at 4 different temperatures (15, 25, 37 and 42°C). Stability values were calculated using GeNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and Delta CT algorithms. The results indicated that recA was the most stably expressed gene in the V. parahaemolyticus strains cultured at different temperatures. This study examined multiple V. parahaemolyticus strains and growth temperatures, hence the finding provided stronger evidence that recA can be used as a reference gene for gene expression studies in V. parahaemolyticus.

Expression pattern analysis of TomPRO2 and LaPA1 genes in tomato under in vitro salt stress by Semi-quantitative RT-PCR
The expression pattern of TomPRO2 and LaPA1 genes in two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cultivars named as Isfahani and Shirazi under in vitro salt stress were investigated. Four to six weeks old in vitro grown seedlings were transferred on MS medium containing 0, 80 and 160 mM NaCl and untreated plants were used as control. RNA was extracted from root and leaf and then cDNA was synthesized. ...

Background: Because of the protection of surplus embryos, Cryopreservation is usually used in ART. It is not clear, the vitrified-warmed embryos that have normal morphology, be normal in genetic level, too. DNA methylation of gene regulatory regions can causes inhibition of gene expression. We study effect of vitrification method of cryopreservation on DNA methylation and gene expression level ...
