目的:研究HEK-293T细胞中晶状体上皮源性生长因子(lens epithelium-derived growth factor,LEDGF)对富含酸性氨基酸的线粒体定位蛋白(Mitochondria-localized Glutamic Acid Rich Protein,MGARP)基因表达的调控作用。方法:将不同剂量的含有LEDGF基因的载体,转入HEK-293T细胞中,通过Western blot和启动子报告分析检测的方法,检测细胞内MGARP的表达水平。并采用LEDGF和Sp1共同转染的方法,来检测二者对MGARP转录活性的协同调控作用。结果:与空载体对照组相比,随着含有LEDGF基因载体剂量的增加,HEK-293T细胞内MGARP的表达也明显上调(P〈0.05),同时共同转染LEDGF和Sp1后,细胞内MGARP的转录活性比单独过量表达LEDGF或者Sp1的转录活性明显增高(P〈0.05)。结论:在HEK-293T细胞中,LEDGF可以调控MGARP的表达,而且,LEDGF和Sp1对MGARP的调控具有协同作用。
Objective: To study the role of lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF) in regulating Mitochondria-localized Glutamie Acid Rich Protein ( abbreviated as MGARP) in HEK-293T cells. Methods: The different dosages of LEDGF were transfected into the HEK-293T cells, which was followed by Western blot and promoter report to detect the expression of MGARP in HEK-293T cell. Furthermore, we co-tmnsfected Spl with LEDGF into cells to test their synergistic regulation to the transcriptional activity of MGARP promoter. Results: As the increase of LEDGF dosages, the expression of MGARP was significantly upregulated compared with the control(P〈0.05), and after co-transfection of Sp I with LEDGF, the promoter activity of MGARP was remarkably enhanced and much higher than that transfected with either LEDGF or Spl individually (P〈0.05). Conclusions: In HEK-293T cells, LEDGF can up-regulate the expression ofMGARP gene and such regulation can be synergistically enhanced by Sp1.
