目的:克隆microRNA-酪氨酸羟化酶(TH),构建慢病毒载体。方法:根据TH基因序列(NM_009377.1),设计并合成4对微小RNA(miRNA)的Oligo DNA,退火形成双链后与pcDNATM 6.2-GW/EmGFP-miRNA载体相连,用Gateway技术将构建好的pcDNATM6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR-TH载体先后与中间载体pDONRTM221、慢病毒载体pLenti6/V5-DEST连接,构建慢病毒表达载体pLenti6/V5-DEST-TH,用脂质体2000(lipofectamine 2000)将慢病毒载体以及包装质粒(pLP1,pLP2和pLP/VSVG)共转染HEK-293FT细胞,收集上清,感染293T细胞株进行滴度鉴定。结果:测序结果表明,4对pcDNATM 6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR-TH表达载体序列与参考序列一致,构建出来的慢病毒载体在293FT细胞中包装成功,并通过293T细胞测得慢病毒滴度为5×106 TU/ml。结论:成功构建了TH的慢病毒干扰载体pLenti6/V5-DEST-TH,为利用RNA干扰技术进一步研究TH基因的功能和作用奠定了基础。
Objective: To clone miR-TH and construct its lentiviral expression vector.Methods: According to the TH gene sequence(GenBank: NM_009377.1),4 pairs of Oligo DNA sequences of miRNA were designed.The single strand of Oligo DNA was annealed to form double strand DNA,and then connected with the plasmid pcDNATM 6.2-GW/EmGFP-miRNA.By using Gateway technology,the expression vector pcDNATM6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR-TH was linked into pDONRTM221 and pLenti6/V5-DEST to construct lentiviral expression vector pLenti6/V5-DEST-TH,The lentiviral expression vector and VirapowerTM Packaging Mix(pLP1,pLP2 和pLP/VSVG) were cotransfected into HEK-293FT cells by lipofectamine 2000 transfection to produce the lentivirus,and the lentivirus titer was measured by infection of HEK-293T cells.Results: The sequence of expression vector pcDNATM 6.2-GW/ EmGFP-miR-TH was proved correct using sequencing method.The constructed lentiviral vector was successfully packaged in 293FT cells.The virus titer was 5×106 TU/ml after infection of HEK-293 cells.Conclusion: The lentiviral expression vector pLenti6/ V5-DEST-TH was constructed successfully.It could facilitate further study of the gene functions of TH by RNA interference method.
