Methods: Full length of TSLC1 cDNA was amplified from RNA of normal human liver by RT-PCR, and cloned into pCI-neo expression vector. The recombinant plasmid pCI-TSLC1 was identified with restriction enzyme and sequenced, and then was stably transfected into HepG2 cells with lipofectamine 2000. The positive clones were examined by western-blotting and immunofluorescence, cell growth was analyzed with MTT assay. Results: The eukaryotic expression vector pCI-TSLC1 was successfully constructed and the stable cell line highly expressing TSLC1 protein was obtained. The growth of TSLCl-transfected cells was significantly suppressed in vitro. Conclusion: The HepG2 stable cell line could highly express TSLC1 protein, which provided a basis for further exploring the roles of TSLC1 in hepatocellular carcinoma.展开更多
