pEGFP-C1/U6质粒载体介导的表达MDR1shRNA的质粒构建

Construction of pEGFP-C1/U6-Mediated Plasmid Expressing MDR1 shRNA

为了构建pEGFP-C1/U6载体介导MDR1短发卡RNA(shorthairpinRNA,shRNA)表达的质粒,针对MDR1的19碱基大小的片段,分别设计2对寡核苷酸,形成双链后将其依次连入带有U6启动子的pEGFP-C1载体(命名为pEGFP-C1/U6),两对DNA双链连接后形成中间由9个碱基序列间隔的反向互补序列,构建成能产生MDR1短发卡RNA的质粒。结果表明:经酶切、连接后构建成的质粒(pEGFP-C1/U6/A和pEGFP-C1/U6/B),经酶切与测序证实构建成功,无任何碱基突变。结论:成功构建了能表达MDR1shRNA的质粒载体pEGFP-C1/U6/A和pEGFP-C1/U6/B,此项研究结果可能为临床上逆转肿瘤多药耐药提供一种有效的方法。

To construct a plasmid expressing MDR1 short hairpin RNA （shRNA） mediated by pEGFP-C1/U6 vector, two coding sequences of 19 nucleotides were selected from MDR. Two pairs of oligonucleotides were designed for these two fragments. After annealing the formed double-stranded DNAs were ligated with plasmid pEGFP-C1/U6 （ pEGFP-C1 vector with U6 promoter）. The plasmids producing MDR1 shRNA were constructed from the inverted motif containing 9 spacers and four Ts. The results showed that the constructed plasmids were named pEGFP-C1/U6/A and pEGFP-C1/U6/B, and the constructs were identified by restriction and sequence analysis, no any base mutation was observed. It is concluded that plasmids of pEGFP-C1/U6/A and pEGFP-C1/U6/B expressing MDR1 shRNA were successfully constructed, providing a highly effective method for reversing the multidrug resistance in clinic.
