目的:构建含不同分子区域的caveolin-1真核表达质粒,转染caveolin-1基因敲除小鼠(Car-1^-/-)的肾小球系膜细胞,观察能否逆转系膜细胞周期阻滞。方法:首先从pLHCX-N—FLAG2/caveolin-1全长质粒中扩增cave—olin-1N末端(第1—82位氨基酸)、N末端+脚手架区(第1—101位氨基酸)的cDNA片段,同时在引物两端加上限制性酶切位点HindBI及XhoI,再与复制缺陷型逆转录病毒表达载体pLHCX—N—FLAG3连接。完成酶切和测序鉴定后将pLHCX—N—FLAG3/cav-1—82和pLHCX—N—FLAG3/cav-1—101分别转染HEK293T细胞,包装产生有感染力的病毒颗粒,再分别感染Cav-1十系膜细胞,流式细胞分析观察能否逆转细胞周期阻滞。结果:成功构建含eaveolin-1N末端、N末端+脚手架区片段的重组真核表达载体,流式细胞分析发现pLHCX-N—FLAG3/cav-1—82和pLH—CX-N—FLAG3/cav-1—101基因导入Cav-1^-/-系膜细胞,可逆转G0/G1细胞周期阻滞。Vcaveolin-1可能主要通过N末端第1~82位氨基酸区域参与细胞周期进程,具体机制还需进一步研究。
Objective: To construct caveolin-1 eukaryotic expression plasmid with different regions and to investigate its effect on mesangial cells from caveolin-1 knockout (Cav-1^-/-) mice after transfection. Methods: First, caveolin-1 N-terminal (1-82 amino acids) and N-terminal plus scaffold area (1-101 amino acids) cDNA fragments were amplified from pLHCX-N-FLAG2/caveolin-1 fulllength plasmid, and the HindⅢ and Xho I restriction sites were added respectively at both ends of primers. The PCR product was ligated with replication-defective retroviral expression vector pLHCX-N-FLAG3 after digestion by HindⅢ and Xho I. pLHCX-N-FLAG3/cav-1-82 and pLH- CX-N-FLAG3/cav-1-101 were respectively transfected into HEK293T cells after sequencing and packaged as infectious virus particles, and then were infected into Cav-1^-/-mesangial cells. Flow cytometry was used to observe whether the infection can reverse cell cycle arrest or not. Results: Eukaryotic expression vector of caveolin-1 N-terminal and N-terminal plus scaffold area was successfully constructed. Flow cytometry results showed that pLHCX-N-FLAG3/cav-1-82 and pLH- CX-N-FLAG3/cav-1-101 transfection can reverse G0/G1 arrest in Cav-1^-/- mesangial cells. Conclusion: Caveolin-1 peptide fragments including 1-82 and 1-101 amino acids can reverse G0/G1 arrest in Cav-1^-/- mesangial cells, indicating that caveolin-1 may involve in cell cycle control mainly through N-terminal regions of 1 to 82 amino acid.
