Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the expression patterns of calcium ion trans-membranous absorption related genes in gastrointestinal tract of Kunming mice. A total of 12 female Kunming mice aged 8 weeks with an average body weight of (30.71?2.93) g were used as experimental animals. Tissues of stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum and colon were collected for the analysis of vitamin D-dependent 9 ku calcium-binding protein (CaBP-D9k), transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 6 (TRPV6), and vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA expression levels by RT-qPCR. The results showed as follows: 1) CaBP-D9k, TRPV6 and VDR mRNA expressed in stomach at a low level, but in cecum at a high level; 2) with the extension of small intestine, expression levels of CaBP-D9k and VDR mRNA were gradually reduced, while TRPV6 mRNA expressed in ileum at a high level; 3) with the extension of large intestine, expression levels of CaBP-D9k (P<0.05), VDR (P<0.05) and TRPV6 mRNA (P>0.05) were also gradually reduced at different levels. These results indicate that expression levels of CaBP-D9k, VDR and TRPV6 mRNA are associated with the capability of Ca2+ trans-membranous absorption in gastrointestinal tract.
