Construction and Expression of Recombinant Plasmid pEGFP-C3-Caveolin-1 in Cultured Podocytes from Mouse Kidney

Objective: To construct an eukaryotic expression recombinant plasmid named pEGFP-C3-caveolin-1 and transfect it into podocytes derived from mouse kidney.Methods: Mouse caveolin-1 gene base sequence was inserted to multiple clone sites of TA clone vector by DNA recombinant technique.Then the recombinant vector was identified by incision enzyme EcoRⅠ and BamHⅠ and DNA sequencing.Abundant caveolin-1 gene base sequence was acquired and inserted to multiple clone sites of pEGFP-C3 by DNA recombinant technique.Then a new eukaryotic expression recombinant plasmid named pEGFP-C3-caveolin-1 was generated and identified by incision enzyme EcoRⅠ and BamHⅠ and DNA sequencing.pEGFP-C3-caveolin-1 was transfected into mouse podocytes in vitro with Lipofectamine 2000.The treated cells were continuously traced by fluorescence microscope.After 72 hours cultivation,400 mg/L G418 was added to select the stable transfected cells,from which total RNA and proteins were extracted respectively to detect the expression of caveolin-1 by RT-PCR and Western-blot analysis respectively.Results: Fragments of 0.56 kb and 4.7 kb were generated from the pEGFP-C3-caveolin-1 cut by EcoRⅠ and BamHⅠ.DNA sequence of the 0.56 kb fragment was identical with mouse caveolin-1 mRNA in GenBank.Green fluorescence could be seen by fluorescence microscrope after 8 h and a peak emerged within 24 h to 48 h.RT-PCR and Western-blot analysis revealed that the expression of caveolin-1 in the stable transfected cells was twice or three times more than that in the untransfected podocytes.Conclusion: The eukaryotic expression recombinant plasmid and the stable caveolin-1-transfected podocytes were successfully constructed,which will be a useful tool for our further research.
