摘要
目的:克隆人Egr-1基因的启动子,插入荧光素酶报告基因载体中,并检测电离辐射对其活性的影响。方法:采用PCR技术从人乳腺癌细胞系MCF-7基因组中扩增出Egr-1启动子,将其克隆到pGL3-basic载体中;将重组质粒转染人肿瘤细胞,测定Egr-1启动子在不同辐射条件下转录活性的改变。结果:成功构建了Egr-1启动子的荧光素酶报告基因;在不同剂量的γ射线照射后,Egr-1的启动子活性均明显高于未照射组;在同一剂量照射后48 h,Egr-1的启动子活性达峰值。结论:本实验构建的Egr-1启动子具有辐射激活的功能,为进一步研究放射-基因治疗奠定了基础。
AIM: To construct human Egr-1 promoter luciferase reporter system and study its activity induced by ionizing radiation. METHODS: Egr-1 promoter was obtained by human genomic PCR and cloned into pGL3-basic vector. After transfection of recombinant plasmid into human tumor cells, the Egr-1 promoter activity induced by ionizing radiation was detected by luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS: The luciferasy reporter system of Egr-1 promoter was successfully constructed. The activity of Egr-1 promoter was substantially increased after different doses of IR and reached to the peak at the time point of 48h after IR. CONCLUSION: The Egr-1 promoter was constructed in this study showed IR inducible activity in tumor cells, laying foundation for the research of radiation, mediated gene therapy.
