用于活体成像的人三阴性乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞系的构建

目的构建能稳定表达荧光素酶和绿色荧光蛋白的人三阴性乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞系以建立可用于活体成像的三阴性乳腺癌裸鼠移植瘤模型。方法采用磷酸钙共沉淀的方法构建表达荧光素酶和绿色荧光蛋白的慢病毒载体,体外感染MDA-MB-231细胞,经G418筛选得到稳定细胞系后,通过活体成像评价感染后细胞表达荧光素酶的情况,并通过MTT法、transwell肿瘤侵袭模型、细胞划痕实验等评价细胞的增殖、侵袭及转移能力是否改变;此外将细胞接种至雌性BALB/c-nu//nu裸小鼠的右侧第2对乳房垫内,构建乳腺癌原位肿瘤模型。利用活体成像系统监测体内肿瘤的生长及转移情况,并通过冰冻切片、HE染色评价细胞系在活体内的稳定性及成瘤能力。结果成功构建能稳定表达荧光素酶和绿色荧光蛋白的MDA-MB-231细胞系,荧光素酶的活性达到每细胞9689 photons/s,慢病毒的整合没有改变细胞的增殖、迁移及侵袭能力;成功建立了乳腺癌裸鼠原位移植瘤模型。结论(1)慢病毒以其高效稳定的感染率,应作为标记荧光素酶基因的首选载体;(2)带有荧光素酶的MDA-MB-231细胞在动物体内可被快速而灵敏的检测到,这将为人三阴性乳腺癌转移机制的研究及抗肿瘤药物的研发提供一个直观、方便及灵敏的平台;(3)荧光素酶和荧光蛋白基因双标记优于单标记。

Establishment of a bioluminescent MDA-MB-231 cell line for in vivo imaging of human triple-negative breast cancer xenograft

Objective To establish a bioluminescent MDA-MB-231 cell line which can stably express luciferase and green fluorescent protein to allow bioluminescent imaging in nude mouse models bearing human triple-negative breast cancer xenografts.Methods The lentivirus carrying luc2,eGFP and neo fusion genes were packaged in 293T cells via calcium phosphate co-precipitation.Human triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was infected by the lentivirus,and the positive cell clones were tested for eGFP and luc2 ...
