目的构建大鼠中介素(IMD)基因真核表达载体IMD-pCDNA3.1(+),以超声微泡法介导其在大鼠体内。肾脏局部高表达。方法用HindⅢ和EcoRⅠ双酶切IMD基因和目的载体pCDNA3.1(+),连接制备真核表达载体IMD—pCDNA3.1(+),命名为IMD.pCDNA3.1(+),并对重组表达载体进行酶切、测序鉴定。18只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为未转染组、空质粒转染组以及IMD基因转染组,每组6只,采用超声微泡介导技术转染大鼠肾脏。RT-PCR、Western blotting检测IMD表达。结果经限制性酶切鉴定及测序分析证实IMD—pCDNA3.1(+)载体序列正确;3组大鼠肝、肾功能差异均无统计学意义(P均〉0.05);实验各组均未见明显肾小球及肾小管、间质损害;半定量RT—PCR、Western blotting检测显示:IMD转基因组肾组织IMD mRNA及其蛋白表达较空质粒转染组和未转染组明显上调。结论IMD—pCDNA3.1(+)表达载体构建成功,并在大鼠肾脏内成功表达。
Objective To construct eukaryotic expression vector encoding rat IMD gene and deliver it into rat renal tissue via ultrasound-mircobubbles. Methods IMD gene was inserted into pCDNA3.1 ( + ) between Hind HI and EcoRI enzyme sites. The recombinant plasmid designated as IMD-pCDNA 3.1 was confirmed by restrictive enzyme digestion and sequencing. Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups, which were treated with no transfection, empty vector transfection and IMD transfection, respectively, in renal tissue via ultrasound-microbubbles. RT-PCR and Western blotting were applied to detect the expression level of IMD. Results Enzyme digestion and sequencing data showed that IMD-pCDNA 3.1 was colTectly constructed. The differences in ALT, AST, BUN and SCr were not significant; No obvious damage in the glomerular,tubular and interstitial was observed in all the treated groups; Compared with non-transfection group and empty vector-transfection group, IMD mRNA and protein expression in IMD transgenic renal tissue were significantly increased. Conclusion IMD-pCDNA 3.1 expression vector was successfully constructed and well expressed in rat kidney.
