表达绿色荧光蛋白的小鼠胚胎干细胞系的生物学特性

目的：研究绿色荧光蛋白（GFP）在小鼠胚胎干细胞系R1中整合并高效稳定表达后对宿主细胞生物学特性的影响。方法：从生长曲线、碱性磷酸酶表达水平、正常核型率及体内多向分化能力等4个方面，对整合有GFP高效表达载体的RES细胞亚克隆，进行生物学特性的比较分析。结果：R1ES细胞与4个高效稳定表达GFP的ES细胞克隆在细胞增殖速率分化状态及正常核型率上均无显差异；将GFP（ ）ES细胞接种裸鼠后，均可有效形成含有3个胚层细胞的畸胎瘤。结论：外源基因GFP在R1ES细胞中的整合及稳定高效表达对于ES细胞的基本生物学特性无明显影响。为有效利用GFP进行ES细胞体内的示踪研究提供了保障。

Biological properties of the mouse embryonic stem cell line expressing green fluorescent protein

Objective: To study the characteristics of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line R1 expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) efficiently and stably. Methods: Four kinds of biological characteristics: growth curve, express level of alkaline phosphatase, karyotype and pluripotentiality of the subclones of R1 ES cell expressing GFP were observed and analysed. Results: No obvious differences between R1 ES cells and the 4 ES cell clones expressing GFP[ESG(+)] on the proliferation speed, differentiation state and the ratio of normal karyotype were observed. Teratocarcinoma concluded 3 germinal layers could form after inoculating ESG(+) cells to nude mice. Conclusion: The expression of GFP may not make any detectable effect on the proliferation speed, differentiation state and the pluripotentiality of R1 ES cells. This research work ensures efficient utilization of GFP as a reporter gene tracing ES cell in vivo . [
