Objective To establish recombinant retrovirus vectors containing human NF-κB subunits p65, p50 genes respectively, and their packaging cell clones which stably produce viruses. Methods The whole coding regions of p65 and p50 genes were amplified from plasmids RcCMV-p65 or RcCMV-p50 by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), and sub-cloned to the retroviral vectors pMSCVneo and pMSCVhyg respectively. The recombinant vectors were identified by the restriction endonuclease digestion and DNA sequencing. The recombinant and control retroviral vectors were transfected into the packaging cell line PT67 by liposome LipofectamineTM2000. The cell clones stably producing retrovirus were isolated following G418 or hygromycin selection. The viral suspension was harvested, and the viral titer was determined by NIH3T3 cells. The transcription or translation of p65 and p50 subunits was detected in the transiently infected NIH3T3 cells or human neural stem cells(hNSC) by RT-PCR or immunocytochemistry at 72 h after infection. Results The recombinant retroviral vectors pMSCVneo-p65 and pMSCVhyg-p50 were proved to encode p65 and p50 genes by the restriction endonuclease digestion and sequencing. The cell clones efficiently producing virus were screened out by G418 or hygromycin, and designated as PT67/pMSCVneo-p65, PT67/ pMSCVneo, PT67/pMSCVhyg-p50 and PT67/pMSCVhyg. And the titers of them were 4 × 105 , 6 × 105 , 2 × 105 and 1 × 105 cfu/ml respectively, p65 or p50 was transcripted at high level in NIH3T3 cells, and positively stained in the nuclei of hNSC at 72 h after NIH3T3 cells and hNSC had been transiently infected by pMSCVneo-p65 or/and pMSCVhyg-p50 retrovirus. Conclusion The recombinant retrovirus vectors containing human NF-κB subunits p65 and p50 genes respectively, and the packaging cell lines which efficiently and correctly produce viruses have been constructed successfully. These provide a basis for the further research on the possibility of neural stem cells transfected with NF-κB genes for brain ischemia.
