摘要:

目的 构建β-catenin真核表达载体pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin并转染鼻咽癌CNE2细胞,检测β-catenin在CNE2细胞中的表达。方法 反转录-聚合酶链式扩增反应(reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction,RT-PCR)扩增目的基因β-catenin,胶回收纯化后克隆至pGEM-T Easy载体,挑选阳性克隆,抽提质粒进行kpn I/xba I 双酶切和PCR鉴定,用T4 DNA连接酶将目的基因β-catenin与真核表达载体pcDNA3.1/Hygro(+)连接,构建重组的真核表达载体pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin,转化感受态细胞DH5α,再次抽提质粒进行PCR、kpn I/xba I双酶切和测序鉴定,然后用FuGENE HD将纯化的pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin转染入鼻咽癌CNE2细胞,经Hygromycin B筛选,采用实时荧光定量PCR和蛋白质印迹法(Western blot)验证转染细胞CNE2/β-catenin中β-catenin的表达。结果 PCR、双酶切及测序鉴定表明,成功构建了真核表达载体pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin;实时荧光定量 PCR和Western blot检测表明,与未转染细胞CNE2比较,被转染的CNE2/β-catenin细胞能够上调目的基因β-catenin的表达(P<0.01)。 结论 成功构建真核表达载体pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin,并能在转染的CNE2/β-catenin细胞上调目的基因β-catenin的表达。

Abstract:

objective The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin was constructed and transfected into CNE2 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells,and β-catenin overexpression was verified in transfected cells. Methods The β-catenin gene was amplified by RT-PCR,gel-purified and cloned into pGEM-T Easy,then transformed into E.coli. Positive clones were screened by digesting extracted plasmid with Kpn I/Xba I and by analyzing with PCR. The subcloned β-catenin gene was inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1/Hygro(+) using T4 DNA ligase, resulting in the recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin. This construct was transformed into competent DH5α cells and positive clones were identified using PCR,Kpn I/Xba I digestion and DNA sequencing. Purified pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin was transfected into CNE2 cells using FuGENE HD transfection reagent,and transfectants were selected using hygromycin B. Expression of β-catenin in transfected cells was assessed using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blotting. Results The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin was constructed and confirmed by PCR,double enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. Overexpression of β-catenin in transfected CNE2 cells was confirmed using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blotting (P<0.01). Conclusion  The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)/β-catenin was constructed and can be transfected into CNE2 cells to up-regulate β-catenin. These transfected cells may provide an in vitro model for studying the role of β-catenin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
