RESUMEN

Chromosomal locations of 19 horse immunity-related loci (CASP1, CD14, EIF5A, FCER1A, IFNG, IL12A, IL12B, IL12RB2, IL1A, IL23A, IL4, IL6, MMP7, MS4A2, MYD88, NOS2A, PTGS2, TFRC and TLR2) were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization. For IFNG and PTGS2, this study is a confirmation of their previously reported position. In addition, microsatellite (HMBr1) was localized in the same region as IFNG. All genes were assigned to regions of conserved synteny and the data obtained in this study enhance the comparative human-horse map. Cytogenetic localization of IL6 to ECA4q14-q21.1 suggested a new breakage point that changes the order of loci compared with HSA7. The map assignments of these loci serve as anchors for other loci and will aid in the search for candidate genes associated with traits in the horse.

RESUMEN

The objective of this study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within four functionally related immune response genes in the horse, and to develop genotyping techniques that could be useful for future genomic studies of horse infectious and allergic diseases. The genes analysed were: the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor gene CD14, the toll-like receptor 4 gene TLR4, the gene Cepsilon encoding the IgE heavy chain molecule and the gene FcepsilonR1 alpha coding for the alpha subunit of the IgE receptor molecule. Horse-specific primers amplifying selected gene regions were designed and SNPs were searched by selective resequencing and/or by PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific conformational polymorphism) or PCR-RFLP (PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism). Gene expression was analysed by RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-PCR) of all four genes examined. For CD14, the cDNA sequence was determined and a novel sequence of the 5'UTR region was identified. The protein-coding sequence was identical to that previously deposited in GenBank. 5'UTR, intronic and both synonymous and non-synonymous exonic SNPs were identified. Three SNPs were found in the CD14 gene, four in the TLR4 gene; two SNPs were identified in the Cepsilon gene, and one SNP was found in the FcepsilonR1 alpha gene. PCR-RFLP was developed for genotyping eight of the SNPs identified. The RT-PCR assay showed that all the SNPs reported here are parts of expressed genes. The results showed that important immunity-related genes in horses are polymorphic and that even non-synonymous SNPs with potential functional impact may occur. The methods developed for genotyping and haplotyping the SNPs identified represent, along with markers described previously, a potentially useful tool for genomic analysis of the function and role of these genes in immunity and in mechanisms of disease.
