稳定表达人CCR5基因CHO细胞系的建立及鉴定

Establishment and characterization of CHO cell line stably expressing human CCR5 gene

CC型趋化因子受体5(CCR5)是HIV-1感染机体所需的最重要的辅助受体和潜在的抗病毒药物靶点之一.将含有人CCR5基因的真核表达质粒pcDNA3.1-CCR5稳定转染CHO-K1细胞,G418筛选2周后,在96孔板内通过有限稀释法培养细胞单克隆,最后得到22个细胞克隆,用流式细胞术检测细胞表面CCR5蛋白,发现克隆10能够高表达人CCR5基因.使用RT-PCR鉴定克隆10CCR5基因转录情况,结果在预期的位置检测出目的条带.采用细胞ELISA的方法进一步鉴定克隆10细胞表面CCR5的表达,结果该克隆的405nm光密度值是对照组的13.6倍.结果表明,本研究建立的稳定转染人CCR5的CHO细胞系能够高效表达CCR5基因,为研究HIV-1共受体、筛选病毒中和抗体、以及抗病毒药物奠定了基础.

CCR5 is one of the most important co-receptors required for HIV-I infection and a potential target for anti viral agents. In this study,the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1 CCR5 carrying human CCR5 gene was stably transfected into CHO-K1 cells. After 2 weeks selection by G418, cell clones were selected from limited dilution in 96-well plates,and 22 clones were obtained. All the clones were analyzed for cell surface CCR5 expression using flow cytometry, and clone 10 was identified as a high expression clone. The CCR5 gene transcription of the clone 10 was further analyzed using RT PCR and gel electrophoresis,and the target band was visible in the expected location. Cellular ELISA indicated that the surface CCR5 expression of clone 10 was 13. 6 fold higher than the control cells. Our results indicated that the CHO cell line stably expressing human CCR5 can be a useful tool for study viral co receptor,specific antibody screening and anti-viral agents.
