人溶酶体酸性b-葡萄糖脑苷脂酶基因的克隆及其在COS7细胞中的表达

Cloning of human lysosomal acid b-glucosidase gene and its expression in COS7 cells

摘要:

从人胎盘组织提取总RNA, 采用RT-PCR扩增人溶酶体酸性b-葡萄糖脑苷脂酶(Lysosomal acid b-glucosidase, GlcCerase)基因编码区的全部序列, 并克隆到pMD-19T载体上, 构建克隆载体pMD-GlcCerase。经测序验证后, 将GlcCerase亚克隆至表达载体pEGFP-C1上, 构建了人GlcCerase绿色荧光蛋白真核表达载体pEGFP-GlcCerase。采用脂质体法将其瞬时转染至COS7细胞系后, 在细胞中检测到了GlcCerase基因, 并在细胞裂解产物中检测到了GlcCerase生物活性的表达。GlcCerase基因的克隆及其表达, 为进一步了解GlcCerase基因的功能以及利用转基因动物乳腺生物反应器高效生产GlcCerase奠定了基础。

Abstract:

In this study, we amplified human lysosomal acid b-glucosidase (GlcCerase) gene by RT-PCR from human placenta, and analyzed the sequence of the PCR product cloned in pMD-19T. The gene identity was 99% comparable to that of the reported human GlcCerase cDNA sequence in GenBank. The GlcCerase gene digested with Xho I was subcloned into eukaryotic express vector pEGFP-C1 to generate recombinant expression vector pEGFP-GlcCerase. After identified the recombinant plasmid by restriction enzyme digestion, we transfected pEGFP-GlcCerase into COS7 cells by liposome. GlcCerase mRNA was expressed and the activity of GlcCerase was also detected in COS7 cells. This study would lay a foundation for the function of GlcCerase and its production by transgenic bioreactor.
