Methods: With use of the upstream and downstream primers containing Barn H I and EcoR I in their5’ ends respectively, a partial sequence of the first exon of NHE-1 gene was cloned in a length of 454 bp from genomic DNA of human lung cancer cell A549 with PCR method. The product was then directionally and reversely insert into the multiclone site of pLXSN. Finally, the constructed recombinant was identified with agarose gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. Results: The cloned fragment was 461 bp in length and successfully ligated to pLXSN with the identification by agarose gel electrophoresis. DNA sequencing confirmed that the fragment cloned and inserted into the vector was identical with the targeted one. Conclusion: The targeted fragment is successfully cloned and reversely inserted into pLXSN in our experiment. The antisense expression vector of NHE-1, pNHE-1. was consfructed successfully.展开更多

Methods: After NHE-1 ribozyme gene was designed, synthesized and then cloned into plasmid pLXSN, the recombined plasmid was tansfected into cultured rat PASMC. Expression of NHE-1 mRNA was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Intracellular pH (pHi) was measured by using fluorescence dye BCECF-AM. Cell cycle was measured with aid of flow cy-tometric DNA analysis. Cell apoptosis was observed with electron microscopy and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNED respectively. Results: The NHE-1 mRNA expression level and pHi value were significantly lower in PASMCs transfected with NHE-1 ribozyme gene than those transfected with pLXSN or without transfection. Meanwhile, the apoptosis rate of cells transfected with NHE-1 ribozyme gene was increased significantly. Morphology of cell apoptosis was observed in the cells transfected with NHE-1 ribozyme gene under an electron microscope. Conclusion: The transfection of NHE-1 ribozyme gene induces the apoptosis of PASMCs by inhibiting NHE-1 expression and intracellular acidification.展开更多
