目的:构建携带Myc标签的人细胞外信号调节激酶2(ERK2)的真核表达载体,表达Myc-ERK2融合蛋白,检测其对人视网膜母细胞瘤细胞生长的影响。方法:采用PCR技术从乳腺文库中扩增人ERK2基因序列,将其插入pXJ-40载体;将重组质粒与空载体转染人视网膜母细胞瘤WERI-Rb-1细胞系后,Western印迹检测表达情况,并进行生长曲线实验。结果:双酶切和测序鉴定表明Myc-ERK2真核表达质粒构建成功;转染WERI-Rb-1细胞后融合蛋白获得表达,生长曲线实验结果表明ERK2可促进肿瘤细胞的生长。结论:携带Myc标签的人ERK2基因的真核表达载体能在人视网膜母细胞瘤WERI-Rb-1细胞中表达,且能促进该细胞的生长。本实验为进一步研究ERK2在肿瘤尤其是眼恶性肿瘤中的功能奠定了基础。
Objective:To construct the eukaryotic expression vector of human extracellular signal regulated kinase2(ERK2)labeled with Myc and detect its expression and activity in human retinoblastoma cells.Methods:Human ERK2coding region was amplified from human mammary cDNA library by PCR and cloned into pXJ-40vector.The recombinant plasmid Myc-ERK2was transfected into human WERI-Rb-1cells and the expressionwas detected by Western blot.The proliferation of WERI-Rb-1cells was examined by growth curve experiment.Results:Myc-ERK2eukaryotic expression vector was constructed and verified by double enzyme digestion and nucleic acid sequencing.Human ERK2protein was expressed in human WERI-Rb-1cells as was shown by Western blot results and ERK2protein promoted the proliferation of WERI-Rb-1cells.Conclusion:The Myc-ERK2was identified to promote WERI-Rb-1cell proliferation,which is a fundamental study for ERK2's role in retinob-laastoma.
