Abstract

본 연구는 한국재래돼지 염색체의 핵형 제시를 위하여 G-banding, C-banding 및 AgNORs를 분석하였다. 시험에 공시된 공시축은 축산기술연구소에서 선발 육종중인 재래돼지 종모돈 50두를 대상으로 각 개체별 혈액채취로서 혈액배양을 이용한 핵형 분석을 수행하였다. 한국재래돼지의 핵형은 38, XX 또는 XY로서 5쌍의 submetacentric chromosomes(Group I), 짧은 단완을 가진 2쌍의 acrocentric chromosomes(Group II), 5쌍의 metacentric chromosomes(Group III) 및 동원체가 말단부에 있는 6쌍의 acrocentric chromosomes(Group IV)로 구성된 36개의 상 염색체와 metacentric인 XX 또는 XY 성 염색체로 구성되어 있다. 재래돼지의 G-banding은 각 상동 염색체별 고유한 특징적 밴드 양상을 나타내고 있으며, 전체 염색체의 형태적 특징이나 대표적 landmarks는 국제표준핵형과 큰 차이가 없는 양상이다. 그러나 재래돼지의 경우 국제표준핵형에 비하여 보다 많은 band가 출현하였고 특히 1번, 3번, 5번, 6번, 7번, 8번, 13번, 14번, 15번, 16번, 17번, 18번 및 X 염색체에서 sub-bands의 분리를 나타내었다. 재래돼지의 C-banding은 비록 각 염색체들 간 heterochromatin의 양적 다형성이 존재하지만 거의 모든 상염색체의 동원체 부위에 C-bands가 나타나고, Y 염색체는 염색체의 전장에 걸친 heterochromatin의 분포를 보였다. AgNOR 염색에 의한 재래돼지의 NORs는 8번 및 10번 염색체의 동원체 부위에 확인되었고, 세포 당 NORs의 수는 2개에서 4개까지 관찰되었으며, 평균 2.13개로 분석되었다. 10번 염색체의 경우 모든 상동염색체에서 NORs가 나타나나 8번 염색체에서는 수적 다형성뿐만 아니라 양적 다형성을 나타내었다. 품종 간 NORs의 비교 분석에서 재래돼지의 NORs 수가 Yorkshire에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타나 돼지의 NORs 분포 양상은 특히 8번 염색체에 있어 품종 간, 개체 간 및 세포 간에 다형적 변이 양상이 존재하는 것으로 사료된다. Using the G-, C-, and NOR-banding techniques, a karyotyping for Korean Native Pig was performed. Blood samples were collected from 50 male Korean Native Pigs that had been bred at the National Livestock Research Institute and then blood cells were prepared from in vitro cultures followed by karyotyping; G-, C-, and NOR-banding patterns of metaphase chromosomes were analyzed. The karyotype of Korean Native Pig is 38, XX or XY which consists of 5 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes(Group I), 2 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes with short p-arm(Group II), 5 pairs of medium metacentric chromosomes(Group III), 6 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes(Group IV) and metacentric X and Y sex chromosomes. On GTG-banding, the Korean Native Pig exhibited a typical and identical banding pattern in each homologous chromosomes. Overall chromosomal morphology and positions of typical landmarks of the Korean Native Pig were virtually identical to those of Committee for the Standardized Karyotype of the Domestic Pig(CSKDP). However, numbers of G-bands of the Korean Native Pig chromosomes were more than those of CSKDP. In chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and X, the Korean Native Pig exhibited more separated bands as compared with CSKDP. In C-banding patterns, although the quantity of heterochromatin was variable in each chromosome, most of the Korean Native Pig chromosomes had heterochromatic C-bands on centromeres. However, the heterochromatic C-band was constantly observed on the whole Y chromosome. In AgNOR staining, the NORs were located at centromeres on the chromosomes 8 and 10. The number of NORs per metaphase ranged from 2 to 4 giving a mean value of 2.13. The number of NORs were distributed on all chromosome pair 10 but not on chromosome 8. The sizes of NORs were also differed between homologous chromosomes 8. Numbers of NORs of Korean Native Pig were significantly higher than those of Yorkshire. The pattern of pig NORs was polymorphic in breeds, individuals and cells, especially on chromosome 8.
