目的：构建人stathmin基困的siRNA真核表达载体，探讨其对HeLa细胞中stathmin基因表达的干涉作用．方法：将合成的siRNA寡核苷酸链退火形成双链，连接入经BamHⅠ和HindⅢ双酶切后的pSilencer4．1-CMV neo真核表达载体，酶切及测序鉴定．脂质体法转染重组质粒入HeLa细胞，G418筛选后RT—PCR检测其对stathmin基因mRNA的干涉效果．结果：经酶切及测序鉴定，成功构建siRNA真核表达载体＋经脂质体转染HeLa细胞后，RT—PCR显示所构建的干涉stathmin基因的真核表达载体成功地抑制了目的基因的表达，HeLa细胞中stathmin基因的mRNA表达水平明显降低．结论：成功构建了人stathmin基因的RNA干涉真核表达载体pSilencer—S1和pSilencer—S2，并在HeLa细胞中有效地发挥了对stathmin基因表达的干涉作用．

Blocking effect of vector-based siRNA on stathmin gene expression in human HeLa cells

AIM: To explore the blocking effect of siRNA on the expression of stathmin gene in HeLa cell line using siRNA eukaryotic expression vector. METHODS: Two stathmin siRNA cDNAs were synthesized according to the stathmin gene sequence and cloned into the vector pSilencer4.1-CMV-neo and named pSilencer-S1 and pSilencer-S2 respectively, which were further identified by restriction endonuclease digestion analysis and DNA sequencing. HeLa cells were then transfected with pSilencer-S1 and pSilencer-S2. After G418 selection, the cells were selected and the interfering effect was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: Restriction endonuclease digestion analysis and DNA sequencing results showed that the 2 target segments were cloned into pSilencer4.1-CMV neo vector respectively. The results of RT-PCR indicated that both siRNA vectors could successfully knock down stathmin gene expression. CONCLUSION: The vector-based siRNA on stathmin gene can effectively knock down stathmin gene expression, which has the potential of being applied in gene therapy against malignant tumors.
