目的:体外构建携带大鼠骨桥蛋白(osteopontin,OPN)基因的荧光真核表达载体,并观察其在人胚肾293T(humanembryo kidney 293T,HEK293T)细胞中的表达。方法:从SD大鼠骨组织标本提取RNA,应用逆转录PCR(reversaltranscript polymerase chain reaction,RT-PCR)方法扩增目的片断,双酶切克隆到增强型绿色荧光蛋白(enhanced greenfluorescent proteins,EGFP)报告基因的真核表达载体pEGFP-C1中,构成重组质粒pEGFP-OPN,经酶切鉴定和测序验证。通过脂质体介导重组质粒瞬时转染HEK293T细胞,并用RT-PCR检测OPN的表达。结果:成功构建重组质粒pEGFP-OPN,测序结果与GenBank中公布的序列(Genbank NM_012881)同源性为100%。将其转染HEK293T细胞后,观察到绿色荧光蛋白的表达,并通过RT-PCR检测到OPN的表达。结论:本实验成功构建了大鼠OPN荧光真核表达载体pEGFP-OPN,并能成功地在HEK293T细胞中表达,为OPN的进一步研究奠定了一定的实验基础。
Objective:To construct a recombinant plasmid of fluorescent eukaryote expression vector containing rat osteopontin(OPN),and to study its expression in human embryonic kidney 293T(HEK293T) cells.Methods:The total RNA of OPN was abstracted from the SD rat bone tissue.The OPN cDNA was constructed by reversal transcript polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),and cloned into a eukaryote expression vector pEGFP-C1 which is the report gene of enhanced green fluorescent proteins(EGFP) by directed cloning after restrictive endonucleases digestion.The pEGFP-OPN was checked and verified by digestion and DNA sequence analysis.HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with pEGFP-OPN by lipofectamine 2000 in vitro.RT-PCR was conducted to verify the expression of OPN.Results:The OPN was correctly inserted into pEGFP-C1,the sequencing results were 100% identical with those reported in GenBank.RT-PCR showed the expression of rat OPN after pEGFP-OPN transfection.Conclusion:Recombinant plasmid pEGFP-OPN was constructed successfully in vitro,which lays a foundation to the further study on the OPN gene.
