小鼠canstatin cDNA的克隆及其在大肠杆菌中的表达

目的:从小鼠肝脏组织克隆canstatin cDNA并在大肠杆菌(E.coli)中表达, 为进一步研究其抗肿瘤血管生成活性奠定基础。方法: 用Trizol试剂提取小鼠肝脏组织总RNA,通过RT-PCR扩增小鼠canstatin(m canstatin)的cDNA,克隆到pMD18-T载体中并进行序列分析。将小鼠canstatin cDNA 定向克隆于原核表达载体pET30a(+)中, 在大肠杆菌E.coli BL21中经IPTG诱导表达。结果:小鼠canstatin的cDNA长度为684bp,编码227个氨基酸,与已知的人canstatin的cDNA同源性为89%,氨基酸的同源性为96%。IPTG诱导原核表达载体pET30a(+)/m canstatin在大肠杆菌E.coli BL21中表达。结论: 首次成功克隆了小鼠canstatin的cDNA, 其原核表达载体pET30a(+)/m canstatin在大肠杆菌E.coli BL21中高效表达,小鼠canstatin抗肿瘤血管生成活性有待进一步研究。

Cloning and expression of mouse canstatin cDNA in E.coli

AIM: To clone and express mouse canstatin (m canstatin)cDNA and provide a basis for the further research on its anti-angiogenic activity and potential application for cancer therapy. METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from mouse liver tissue by Trizol Reagent, and mouse canstatin cDNA was amplified by RT- PCR, then cloned into vector pMD18-T for sequencing. pET30a( )-m canstatin recombinant plasmid was constructed and expressed in E.coli BL21 with induction of IPTG. RESULTS: Mouse canstatin cDNA is 684 bp coding 227 amino acids. The sequences of both cDNA and amino acid share high homology with human canstatin, with cDNA identity at 89% and amino acids identity at 96% to human canstatin. In the present study, pET30a( )-m canstatin recombinant plasmid was expressed in E.coli BL21. CONCLUSION: Mouse canstatin cDNA has been cloned for the first time. Constructed pET30a( )-m canstatin recombinant plasmid is highly expressed in E.coli BL21.
