目的： 克隆小鼠pdx-1基因，构建其真核表达载体，并在小鼠胚胎干细胞中表达，为糖尿病的细胞移植治疗奠定基础。方法： PCR扩增小鼠胰腺pdx-1基因 cDNA，酶切后和携带绿色荧光蛋白报告基因的真核表达载体pEGFP-N1重组，将pdx-1基因 cDNA片段连接到pEGFP-N1载体的多克隆位点，形成重组载体pEGFP/pdx-1，转化大肠杆菌DH5α菌株，构建成pdx-1基因真核表达载体质粒。扩增DH5α后抽提质粒DNA，Hind Ⅲ 和BamHⅠ酶切，电泳，DNA测序鉴定。鉴定正确的质粒DNA用脂质体包裹后转染小鼠胚胎干细胞MESPU13。结果： 从小鼠胰腺cDNA扩增出876 bp的DNA片段并成功重组到pEGFP-N1载体中。经酶切和DNA测序验证，插入载体的DNA片段为pdx-1基因，插入方向正确。重组质粒经脂质体转染胚胎干细胞MESPU13，24 h 后观察到绿色荧光蛋白报告基因和目的基因的pdx-1表达。结论： 小鼠pdx-1基因的克隆和真核表达载体构建获得成功，为进一步研究其功能奠定了基础。

Construction of mouse pdx-1 gene eukaryotic expression vector and its expression in embryonic stem cells

AIM: To clone mouse pdx-1 gene and construct its eukaryotic expression vector for expression of pdx-1 in mouse embryonic stem cells.METHODS: Mouse pdx-1 cDNA fragment was amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from mouse pancreatic cDNA. The purified fragment was recombinated with a eukaryotic expression vector carrying enhanced green fluorescent protein, pEGFP-N1. The pdx-1 cDNA fragment was inserted into the multi-clone sites of the vector to construct a new plasmid, pEGFP/pdx-1. E.colli strain DH5α was transfected with the new recombinant plasmid to expand it. Plasmid DNA extracted from the expanded DH5α was identifed by cutting with Hind Ⅲ, BamHⅠ nuclease and by DNA sequencing. Identified plasmid DNA was transfected into mouse embryonic stem cell line MESPU13 by carrying with liposome. RESULTS: A 876 bp cDNA fragment was amplified from mouse pancreatic cDNA by PCR and it was inserted into the vector pEGFP-N1 correctly. The fragment was defined to be pdx-1 gene by nuclease digestion and DNA sequencing. Mouse embryonic stem cell line MESPU13 was transfected with the new recombinant plasmid DNA. The green fluorescent protein report gene and pdx-1 gene expressed in transfected mouse embryonic stem cells within 24 h. CONCLUSION: Mouse pdx-1 gene is cloned and its recombinant eukaryotic expression vector carrying green fluorescent protein is constructed successfully. It provides a useful tool for further research on the function of pdx-1.
