Novel methods that increase the efficiency of gene delivery to cells will have many useful applications. Here, we report a simple approach involving depletion of p62/SQSTM1 to enhance the efficiency of gene delivery. The efficiency of reporter gene delivery was remarkably higher in p62-knockout murine embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells compared with normal MEF cells. This higher efficiency was partially attenuated by ectopic expression of p62. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated knockdown of p62 clearly increased the efficiency of transfection of murine embryonic stem (mES) cells and human HeLa cells. These data indicate that p62 acts as a key regulator of gene delivery.
提高基因导入细胞效率的新方法将有许多有用的应用。在此,我们报告一种简单的方法,即通过消耗p62/SQSTM1来提高基因导入效率。与正常小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞(MEF)相比,报告基因在p62基因敲除的小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞中的导入效率显著更高。p62的异位表达部分减弱了这种更高的效率。此外,siRNA介导的p62敲低明显提高了小鼠胚胎干细胞(mES)和人宫颈癌细胞(HeLa)的转染效率。这些数据表明p62是基因导入的关键调节因子。
