Objective: To investigate the effects of E2F-1 overexpression on chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cell line MGC-803, we constructed a eukaryotic expression vector containing the E2F-1 gene and then transfected it into gastric cancer cell line MGC-803. Methods: We extracted mRNA from human gastric cancer tissue and synthesized cDNA by reverse transcription. Using the E2F-1 gene sequence in GeneBank, we designed a primer that contained restriction enzyme sites and amplified the ORF of E2F-1. After double digestion with restriction enzymes EcoRI and Hind ]I[, the products were cloned into the eukaryotic expression vec- tor pCMV-HA2 by directional cloning, transformation and screening. The recombinant vector was transfected into gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 with Lipofectamine 2000 and selected for in medium containing G418 to obtain clones that overexpressed E2F-1 and had resistance to Genetecin. The expression of E2F-Ⅲ mRNA and protein was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting methods, respectively. We evaluated chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity of MGC-803/E2F-1 cells (experimental group), MGC-803/EV cells (control group) and MGC-803 cells (untransfected group) by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Results: After the recombinant vector pCMV-E2F-1-HA2 was double digested with EcolR Ⅰ and Hind Ⅲ, the individual fragments were obtained. The sequencing results were consistent with the reported E2F-1 gene sequence, indicating that the E2F-1 gene fragment had been successfully cloned in- to the eukaryotic expression vector. Cell clones with resistance to Genetecin were obtained and amplified. Experimental results of RT-PCR and Western blotting confirmed that the recombinant vector pCMV-E2F-1-HA2 was successfully transfected into gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 and stably overexpressed the E2F-1 gene. In the MTT assay, the inhibition rates Of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), adriamycin (AMC) and mitomycin (MMC) in MGC-803/E
