应用杆状病毒表达系统在Sf9昆虫细胞中重组表达Legumain蛋白

Production of Legumain protein with baculovirus expression system in insect cell Sf9

目的 通过昆虫-杆状病毒表达系统表达获得Legumain蛋白,为进一步研究其在葡萄膜黑色素瘤中的作用建立基础.方法 实验研究.对2011年4月至2012年1月在陕西省眼科中心应用克隆Legumain蛋白基因,并将其基因片段插入pFastBac载体获得重组载体,转化大肠杆菌DH10Bac感受态细胞后得到重组Bacmid,转染昆虫Sf9细胞,Western Blotting印迹和SDS-PAGE检测重组蛋白的表达.结果 获得了Legumain蛋白的重组杆状病毒;Western Blotting印迹和SDS-PAGE分析表明,该重组杆状病毒感染昆虫Sf9细胞后表达Legumain蛋白,与预期结果一致.结论 通过昆虫-杆状病毒表达系统可成功获得Legumain蛋白,从而为进一步研究其在葡萄膜黑色素瘤侵袭与转移机制的作用奠定了工作基础.

Objective To obtain human Legumain protein with insect-baculovirus expression system,make foundation for the uveal melanoma study.Methods The gene encoding Legumain protein was cloned and inserted into the pFastBac vector,and the recombinant bacmid was generated after the E.coli DH10Bac competent cell was transformed by the recombinant pFastBac vector.The recombinant baculovirns was transfected into insect cell Sf9.Western Blotting and SDS-PAGE analysis of recombinant protein expression was performed.Results Recombinant baculovirns expressing Legumain protein was obtained.Western Blotting and SDS-PAGE analysis showed that Legumain protein was expressed when the Sf9 cells were infected by the recombinant baculovirus,which consistent with the expected results.Conclusions Legumain protein was obtained through insect-baculovirus expression system.Cloning and expression of Legumain protein provide the foundation for the mechanism of Legumain in the uveal melanoma invasion and metastasis.
