人可溶性转化生长因子βⅡ型受体真核表达载体的构建及表达

目的:构建人转化生长因子βⅡ型受体胞外区(sTGFβRⅡ)基因的真核表达载体,转染真核细胞CHO以表达sTGFβRⅡ蛋白,并检测其生物学活性.方法:以TGFβRⅡ的重组质粒为模板,用PCR方法扩增得到人TGFβRⅡ胞外区(1-159位氨基酸)的cDNA,将该cDNA重组到真核表达载体pCDNA3.1/myc-his(-)B(pCDNA)的EcoRⅠ和HindⅢ多克隆位点上,构建成pCDNA-sTGFβRⅡ重组质粒.经双酶切和核酸测序鉴定,将该重组质粒转染CHO细胞,用Western blotting法检测sTGFβRⅡ的表达,并测定其生物学活性.结果:CHO细胞转染pCDNA-sTGFβRⅡ重组质粒后,其培养上清经 Western blotting分析,显示有特异性的蛋白条带,所表达的蛋白能明显抑制TGFβ1对貂肺上皮细胞的增殖抑制作用.结论:成功克隆了sTGFβRⅡ基因,并获得有生物学活性的sTGFβRⅡ蛋白.

Construction and expression of the eukaryotic expression vector containing human soluble transforming growth factor beta receptor Ⅱ

OBJECTIVE: To construct a eukaryotic expression vector encoding the gene of extracellular region of type II transforming growth factor beta receptor (sTGFbetaR II), to express the protein in CHO cell line and to determine its biological activity. METHODS: The extracellular region (amino acids 1-159) of the human TGFbetaR II cDNA was amplified by PCR from a TGFbetaR II chimeric plasmid,and the eukaryotic expression plasmid pCDNA3.1/myc-his(-)B-sTGFbetaR II(pCDNA-sTGFbetaR II) was constructed by inserting the sTGFbetaR II cDNA into the EcoR I/Hind III-digested pCDNA. The DNA sequence was confirmed by double digestion and the pCDNA-sTGFbetaR II plasmid was transfected into the CHO cell line. The sTGFbetaR II protein was confirmed by Western blotting analysis and its biological function was determined. RESULTS: The specific protein was observed in western blotting, and the protein abrogated the growth-inhibitory effects of TGF-beta1 on mink lung epithelial cells (Mv1Lu). CONCLUSION: The eukaryotic expression plasmid pCDNA-sTGFbetaR II has been successfully constructed and the sTGFsTGFbetaR II protein with biological activity obtained.
