Survivin反义RNA真核表达载体的构建及鉴定

目的 为了特异封闭白血病细胞survivin的表达，抑制其功能，本实验构建了survivin反义核酸载体并导入白血病细胞系中。方法 应用RT—PCR获得survivin的cDNA片段，反向插入pcDNA3质粒载体中；经限制性酶切和测序鉴定所构建的反义核酸是否正确；采用电转染方法将重组体导入HL—60细胞中；RT—PCR技术检测转染细胞survivin表达的变化。结果 经限制性酶切和测序鉴定证明survivin反义核酸已成功构建；RT—PCR产物电泳结果显示，与转染前细胞、空质粒转染细胞相比，转染survivin反义核酸的细胞survivin mRNA水平明显降低。结论 本实验已成功建立了survivin反义核酸真核表达载体，而且在白血病细胞系中发挥了特异封闭作用，为进一步研究survivin反义核酸在白血病治疗中的作用提供了实验基础。

Construction and characterization of an antisense RNA eukaryotic expression vector for survivin

Objective: To inhibit specifically survivin expression and block its function in leukemia cells, an antisense RNA expression plasmid for survivin was constructed and transfected into a leukemia cell line. Methods: A cDNA fragment of survivin obtained by RT-PCR was inserted into a plasmid vector named pcDNA3 in the reverse direction. Antisense RNA of survivin was confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into the cell line HL-60 by electroporation. The effect of survivin antisense RNA on survivin mRNA expression in transfected cells was examined by RT-PCR. Results: The correct construction of the recombinant plasmid has been shown by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. As compared to controls, the level of survivin mRNA expression in transfected cells decreased significantly. Conclusion: An antisense RNA vector for survivin has been successfully constructed and may be useful as a specific inhibitor in leukemia cells. Thus, antisense therapy on the basis of survivin can be further explored in leukemia.
