英文摘要 |
The 18S-5.8S rDNA intratranscribed spacer 1 (ITS1) regions from Atractylodes japonica, A. lancea and A. ovata rhizomes were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with consensus rRNA gene primers. The amplified DNA fragments from Atractylodes species were of similar size, but with different MspI restriction mapping. Cloning and sequencing of the PCR products showed that the DNA sequences of PCR-amplified ITS1 were distinct between Atractylodes species. Sequence analysis indicated that the amplified ITS1 elements were informative for ITS1 fingerprinting following digestion with 6-cutter restriction endonucleases BspEI, AfiII, and NaeI. Therefore, both polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and polymerase chain reaction-selective restriction (PCR-SR) analysis on the ITS1 gene were established to provide useful tools for the authentication between Atractylodes rhizomes.
本研究目的乃在建立以分子生物技術鑑別朮屬(Atractylodes)中藥材等之基原。藉由聚合酵素鏈鎖反應方法(PCR)將關蒼朮(Atractylodes japonica)、茅蒼朮(Atractylodes lancea)、白朮(Atractylodes ovata)等之18S-5.8S核醣體核酸基因之內轉錄第一間隔區(簡稱ITS1)複製出,由此三種藥材所複製出之PCR產物,其大小均約為320bp,以限制酵素MspI水解作用後,於不同種藥材卻有不同大小之水解產物;進一步選殖其各自之PCR產物並進行核酸序列分析,發現此三種藥材之ITS1核酸序列彼此均異,且有特殊之限制酵素選擇作用處可作彼此之區分,如:只有茅蒼朮之ITS1可被BspEI作用,而其它二種藥材之ITS1無BspEI作用處;反之,只有關蒼朮與白朮之ITS1具有AflII作用處,而茅蒼朮之ITS1無該酵素作用處另外,僅白朮之ITS1具有NaeI作用處,而其它二種藥材之ITS1無NaeI作用處。因此,由本研究結果,發現利用PCR-RFLP與PCR-SR分析朮屬藥材之ITS1區域,可作為該等藥材基原之鑑別。 |
