To establish a stable A549 cell line transfected by RNA binding motif 5 (RBM5) expression vector, and to investigate the effect of RBM5 gene on proliferation of A549 cell line and the expression of DEAH box polypeptide 15 (DHX15).
The eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 (+)/RBM5 was constructed by a twostep PCR technique. Then, the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1 (+)/RBM5 was verified by DNA sequencing and transfected into the lung adenocarcinoma cell A549. The positive cells with overexpression of RBM5 gene were identified by Western blotting. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycles of the positive A549 cells [pcDNA3.1 (+)/RBM5-A549] and the negative controls [pcDNA3 .1 (+)- A549]. Finally, RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of DHX15, a splicing-related factor, in the positively transfected A549 cells and the negative controls.
A pcDNA3.1 (+)/RBM5 eukaryotic expression vector has been constructed successfully, and the A549 cell line that stably transfected with RBM5 gene has been established. Compared with negative control cells, the percentage of G1 phase cells in the positive cells was increased, while the percentage of S phase was decreased (both P<0.01), and the expression of DHX15 is upregulated (P<0.01).
RBM5 gene can inhibit the cell cycle and upregulate the expression of DHX15 in A549 cells.
构建稳定转染RNA结合基序5(RBM5)表达载体的A549细胞系,探讨RBM5基因对A549细胞系增殖及DEAH盒多肽15(DHX15)表达的影响。
采用两步PCR技术构建真核表达载体pcDNA3.1(+)/RBM5。然后,通过DNA测序验证重组质粒pcDNA3.1(+)/RBM5,并将其转染至肺腺癌细胞A549。通过蛋白质免疫印迹法鉴定RBM5基因过表达的阳性细胞。采用流式细胞术分析阳性A549细胞[pcDNA3.1(+)/RBM5-A549]和阴性对照[pcDNA3.1(+)-A549]的细胞周期。最后,采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测阳性转染A549细胞和阴性对照中剪接相关因子DHX15的表达。
成功构建了pcDNA3.1(+)/RBM5真核表达载体,并建立了稳定转染RBM5基因的A549细胞系。与阴性对照细胞相比,阳性细胞中G1期细胞百分比增加,S期细胞百分比降低(均P<0.01),且DHX15表达上调(P<0.01)。
RBM5基因可抑制A549细胞的细胞周期并上调DHX15的表达。
