Abstract: 【Objective】 The purpose of this study was to perform cloning and bioinformatic analysis of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) gene in Guanzhong dairy goats, and detect the expression differences of FGF2 gene in various tissues of goats, so as to lay the foundation for the subsequent exploration of the function of FGF2 gene.【Method】 Using mammary gland cDNA of Guanzhong dairy goat as template, the complete CDS region of FGF2 gene was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned, the similarity alignment, phylogenetic tree and bioinformatics analysis were carried out.Meanwhile, Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of FGF2 gene in heart, liver, spleen, kidney, longissimus dorsi muscle, lung, mammary gland and ovary of Guanzhong dairy goats.【Result】 The coding region of FGF2 gene in Guanzhong dairy goats was 468 bp, encoding 155 amino acids, the molecular mass was 17.26 ku and the theoretical isoelectric point was 9.58, the highest content was glycine, accounting for 10.3%.The similarity alignment results showed that the similarity of FGF2 amino acid sequence of Guanzhong dairy goat with Homo sapiens, Bos taurus, Equus caballus, Oryctolagus cuniculus, Ovis aries, Orcinus and Sus scrofa were 98.7%, 99.4%, 100.0%, 98.7%, 99.4%, 99.4% and 62.6%, respectively.The phylogenetic tree showed that FGF2 gene was highly conserved among different species and had the closest homologous relationship with Equus caballus.The instability index of FGF2 protein of Guanzhong dairy goat was 38.39, which was an stable hydrophilic protein without signal peptide and transmembrane domain.The secondary structure of FGF2 protein contained alpha helix, beta turn, extended chain and random coil, accounting for 10.32%, 14.19%, 30.97% and 44.52%, respectively.Protein interaction prediction analysis found that FGF2 protein interacted with FGFR, KDR, FGF1, FGFR4, MET and FGFR1 proteins related to mammary gland growth and development.Real-time quantitative PCR detected that FGF2 gene of Guanzhong dairy goat was expressed in heart, liver, spleen, kidney, longissimus dorsi muscle, lung, mammary gland and ovary.The expression in mammary gland was highest, followed by ovary, and the lowest expression in longissimus dorsi muscle.【Conclusion】 The CDS region of FGF2 gene sequence in Guanzhong dairy goat was 468 bp, and encoded 155 amino acids, which was a hydrophilic protein.The secondary structure of FGF2 protein was mainly extended chain and random coil.FGF2 gene in Guanzhong dairy goat was expressed in different tissues during the peak lactation period.The results of this study provided a reference for further exploring the role of FGF2 gene in Guanzhong dairy goat mammary gland development and its specific functions.
