摘要：

本研究旨在从岗梅根中筛选出镉胁迫下稳定表达的内参miRNA和基因，以测定岗梅根中镉胁迫响应miRNA及其靶基因表达量。本研究提取了不同镉胁迫时间处理的岗梅根的总RNA进行逆转录后，通过RT-qPCR实验，测定了9个候选内参miRNA和8个候选内参基因Ct值，并通过geNorm、NormFinder、BestKeeper和RefFinder等工具进行了综合系统分析，筛选出最佳内参miRNA和基因。之后基于最佳内参miRNA和基因，本研究进一步测定了岗梅根中6个响应镉胁迫的miRNA及其靶基因表达量。结果显示，虽然各工具由于算法差异致使结果存在差异，但经RefFinder综合分析，本研究确定UBQ为最佳内参基因，其稳定性排序为UBQ > Actin > 18S > GAPDH > UBC > EF1-α > 28S > α-TUB，最佳的内参miRNA为U6，稳定性排序为U6 > 5S > MIR156ab > MIR396f > MIR159d > MIR390j > MIR171t > U4 > MIR166ab。6个miRNA及其靶基因的表达分析结果表明，在镉胁迫下，MIR159c的表达量总体呈下降趋势，而MIR171a和MIR393a的表达量总体则呈上升趋势。此外，MIR167m-5p、MIR399f-5p和MIR529d的表达量呈先上升后下降的趋势。这些miRNA及其靶基因之间均呈显著负相关关系，这表明在镉胁迫环境下，岗梅可通过miRNA负调控其靶基因来适应镉胁迫。综上所述，本研究成功筛选出镉胁迫下岗梅根中最佳内参基因UBQ和内参miRNA U6，并检测了镉胁迫下岗梅响应miRNA及其靶基因的表达量，为深入探究镉胁迫对岗梅miRNA及其靶基因表达调控机制提供了一定的理论基础。

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to identify stably expressed internal reference miRNAs and genes under cadmium (Cd) stress in the roots of Ilex asprella, for the purpose of determining the expression levels of Cd stress-responsive miRNAs and their target genes. In this study, total RNA was extracted from Ilex asprella roots subjected to various Cd stress durations, followed by reverse transcription. Subsequently, the Ct values of 9 candidate internal reference miRNAs and 8 candidate internal reference genes were determined through RT-qPCR experiments. The optimal internal reference miRNAs and genes were subsequently identified through a comprehensive and systematic analysis using tools such as geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and RefFinder. After that, based on the best internal reference miRNAs and genes, this study further determined the expression of 6 miRNAs and their target genes in response to Cd stress in the roots of Ilex asprella. The results showed that although the results of various tools were different due to algorithm differences, in the comprehensive analysis of RefFinder, this study identified UBQ as the best internal reference gene, with the stability ranking of UBQ > Actin > 18S > GAPDH > UBC > EF1-α > 28S > α-TUB, the best internal reference miRNA was U6, and the stability ranking was U6 > 5S > MIR156ab > MIR396f > MIR159d > MIR390j > MIR171t > U4 > MIR166ab. The expression analysis results of 6 miRNAs and their target genes showed that under the Cd stress, the expression of MIR159c decreased gradually, while the expression of MIR171a and MIR393a increased significantly. In addition, the expression levels of MIR167m-5p, MIR399f-5p and MIR529d increased first and then decreased. There was a significant negative correlation between these miRNAs and their target genes, which indicated that under Cd stress environment, Ilex asprella could negatively regulate its target genes through miRNAs to adapt to Cd stress. In conclusion, this study successfully screened the best internal reference gene UBQ and internal reference miRNA U6 in the roots of Ilex asprella under Cd stress, and detected the expression of miRNAs and their target genes in response to Cd stress, which provided a theoretical basis for in-depth study of the regulation mechanism of Cd stress on the expression of miRNAs and their target genes in Ilex asprella.
