目的：构建人MUC1重复序列串联体基因与GM-CSF基因重组的真核共表达质粒pcDNA3.1（＋）-MUC1-GM-CSF,并观察重组质粒在COS-7细胞中的表达。方法：将信号肽及编码MUC1基因片段合成、合成的片段经退火等方法获得MUC1基因重复序列串联体,酶切鉴定及序列分析后,与GM-CSF基因克隆入pcDNA3.1（＋）真核表达载体中,构建真核共表达质粒pcDNA3.1（＋）-MUC1-GM-CSF。以重组质粒转染COS-7细胞,通过间接免疫荧光法及ELISA检测目的基因的表达。结果：酶切鉴定及序列分析表明,重组质粒含有人MUC1重复序列串联体与GM-CSF的融合基因,在COS-7细胞中可检测到MUC1表达,重组质粒免疫小鼠可诱导产生抗GM-CSF抗体。结论：人MUC1重复序列串联体与GM-CSF基因重组的真核共表达质粒的成功构建,为对其免疫原性、生物学特性及免疫治疗的进一步研究奠定了基础。

Construction and expression of eukaryotic coexpression plasmid containing human MUC1 gene and GM-CSF gene

AIM: To construct an eukaryotic coexpression plasmid containing the coding region of human MUC1 tandem repeats gene and GM-CSF gene and to identify its expression in COS-7 cell. METHODS: MUC1 tandem repeats gene was obtained by synthesizing the segments. After identified by restriction endonuclease digestion analysis and DNA sequencing, MUC1 tandem repeats gene and GM-CSF gene were cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1( ) to construct recombinant plasmid pcDNA 3.1( )-MUC1-GM-CSF. Then the recombinant plasmid was transfected into COS-7 cell by electroporation and the expression of target gene was detected by immunoflourescence and ELISA. RESULTS: Restriction analysis and DNA sequencing showed that the recombinant plasmid contained the coding region of human MUC1 tandem repeats gene and GM-CSF gene. The expression of MUC1 and GM-CSF was detected. CONCLUSION: The suuessful construction and expression of recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1( )-MUC1-GM-CSF lay a foundation for further development of DNA vaccine against breast cancer.
