摘要
目的:构建巨噬细胞特异性启动子调控的靶向巨噬细胞的真核表达载体。方法:PCR方法合成巨噬细胞特异性启动子,并将其插入带有绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)基因的真核表达载体pEGFP-N1中,替代CMV启动子。利用脂质体转染法,将其与红色荧光蛋白真核表达载体(pERFP-N1)共转染巨噬细胞和非巨噬细胞,通过荧光显微镜观察GFP和RFP在不同细胞中的表达水平来鉴定启动子的靶向性。结果:成功构建了巨噬细胞特异性启动子调控的真核表达载体,并且能在巨噬细胞中高效特异性地表达报告基因。结论:构建的靶向巨噬细胞的真核表达载体能提高目的基因的表达特异性,为提高基因治疗胞内菌感染的靶向性及降低毒副作用奠定了实验基础。
AIM： To construct a macrophage-specific eukaryotic expression vector and to investigate its expressing specificity. METHODS： Macrophage-specific promoter was synthesized using PCR, and substituted the CMV promoter of eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1 to construct a recombinant vector （ pSP-GFP）, which were cotransfected with pERFP-N1 vector into different cell lines. The green fluorescent protein （GFP） and red fluorescent protein （RFP） was observed by fluorescence microscopy, and the target specificity of macrophage-specific promoter was judged by comparison of expressed level of GFP and RFP in various cell lines. RESULTS： The macrophage-specific eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed, which showed strong activity and specificity only in macrophage cells. CONCLUSION： The constructed pSPGFP vector was macrophage-specific, which are potential to targeted gene therapy of intracellular bacterial infection.
