目的:构建人来源铁调节蛋白1(IRP1)真核表达质粒,检测该质粒在人肝癌细胞(HepG2)中的表达及其对转铁蛋白受体1(TfR1)和二价金属转运体1(DMT1)表达的影响。方法:从HepG2细胞中提取总RNA,通过逆转录聚合酶链反应获得IRP1的cDNA。根据不同的酶切位点分别构建IRP1 4个分段目的基因,依次连接4段基因并将其构建入真核表达载体pcDNA3.1(+),测序验证碱基序列。用FuGENEHD将质粒pcDNA3.1(+)-IRP1瞬时转染至HepG2。以QRT-PCR方法检测转染pcDNA3.1(+)-IRP1质粒,观察对IRP1以及其调控基因TfR1和DMT1表达的影响。结果:扩增出IRP1全长cDNA,构建真核表达质粒,4个质粒经相应酶双酶切后,分子量分别为1261bp、502bp、600bp、310bp。经检测质粒转染至HepG2细胞后,IRP1表达显著高于转染空载质粒细胞。结果显示与对照组相比,转染真核pcDNA3.1(+)-IRP1质粒后IRP1表达显著上调约50倍,TfR1表达增加约3倍,DMT1表达增加约1.5倍,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:成功构建人IRP1基因真核表达质粒pcDNA3.1(+)-IRP1,并证明其能在HepG2细胞内高表达,从而影响IRP1调控基因的表达。
Objective :To construct the eukaryotic expression plasmid of human Iron regulation protein l and study its expression and function in HepG2 cells. Methods:Total RNA was isolated from HepG2 cells and eDNA library was constructed by reverse transcriptional PCR method. The eDNA prepared was inserted into pcDNA3.1 (+) vector. All se- quences amplified by PCR were confirmed by complete sequencing. After FuGENEHD-mediated transient transfection of HepG2 with peDNA3.1 (+)-IRP1 plasmid, the expression levels of IRP1 and its regulated genes were determined by QRT- PCR. Results:DNA sequence analysis demonstrated that pcDNA3. I(+)-IRP1 plasmid was obtained, which express IRP1 in HepG2. The mRNA expressions of TfR1 and DMT1 were up-regulated significantly when peDNA3.1(+)-IRP1 was transfeet- ed into HepG2 cells. Conclusion:The pcDNA3.1(+)-IRP1 plasmid has been successfully constructed with efficient expres- sions in HepG2. The mRNA expressions of TfR1 and DMT1 were increased significantly by approximately 3-fold and 1.5- fold compared with the control.
