【Objective】As a member of nuclear transcription factor,sterol regulatory element binding protein1(SREBP1)plays a significant role in the expression of the lipogenic gene.The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of SREBP1 on the regulation of transcription of SCD1 gene in the mammary epithelial cells,which will provide a fundamental basis for the transcription regulation mechanism of SREBP1 to target gene.【Method】 The coding sequence(CDS) of SREBP1 gene was cloned using the method of subsection cloning with the cDNA of Holstein mammary tissues as the template.The expression vector pc DNA3.1-SREBP1 was recombined and constructed by recombining vector pc DNA3.1.Plasmids were extracted from the constructed vector after being verified by sequencing,and transfected to mammary epithelial cells.With gene EIF3 K as the reference gene,the expressional difference of m RNA in gene SREBP1 was detected with Real-time PCR.SREBP1 was marked with the immunofluorescence method.The cell nucleus was restained with DAPI,and the subcellular localization of protein SREBP1 was observed with laser con-focal microscopy.The SCD1 gene promoters with different regulatory elements and 1.0 μg pc DNA3.1-SREBP1 were restained as treatments,and the promoter activity was analyzed systematically with luciferase reporter gene.Vectors pc DNA3.1-SREBP1 of 0.25 μg,0.5 μg and 1 μg were transfected respectively.The dose-effect relationship between the promoter activity of p GL3-SCD2,p GL3-SCD3 and protein SREBP1 was analyzed.【Result】 The PCR products cloned in subsection were fragments 1170 bp,1116 bp,363 bp and 900 bp respectively.The expression vector pc DNA3.1-SREBP1 was obtained by reconstructing the fragments and vector pc DNA3.1.Confirmed by digestion and sequence,the expression vector,except one nonsense mutation,was exactly the same with the standard sequence.The whole sequence length reached 3510 bp.After vector pc DNA3.1-SREBP1 was transfected into mammary epithelial cells,compared with the control group
