摘要目的 构建沉默信息调节因子1(sirt1)过表达慢病毒载体,观察其在体外培养的视网膜神经节细胞(RGC)中的表达.方法 构建大鼠sirt1 cDNA的过表达慢病毒载体,采用PCR鉴定其是否构建成功.同时将其与GenBank上sirt1 cDNA标准序列进行对比分析.将鉴定后的慢病毒重组表达质粒pLV5-sirt1与包装质粒共转染293T细胞,制备携带sirt1的慢病毒pLV5-sirt1.体外培养Sprague-Dawley大鼠的RGC,应用pLV5-sirt1感染细胞设为sirt1过表达慢病毒组,同时设未感染组和空载体感染组.采用荧光显微镜观察细胞感染效率,实时PCR和蛋白免疫印迹法(Western blot)检测sirt1 mRNA和蛋白表达水平.结果 PCR鉴定结果显示,在1680碱基对处有扩增条带,表达的DNA条带与sirt1目的片段大小一致.与GenBank上sirt1cDNA标准序列进行对比分析,测序结果显示其含有与设计相同的靶序列.荧光显微镜观察发现,空载体感染组和sirt1过表达慢病毒组均可看到绿色荧光,感染效率在90％以上.实时PCR检测结果显示,sirt1过表达慢病毒组sirt1 mRNA表达水平较未感染组、空载体感染组均明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).Western blot检测结果显示,sirt1过表达慢病毒组sirt1蛋白表达水平较未感染组、空载体感染组均明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论 成功构建的大鼠sirt1过表达慢病毒载体能够在体外有效感染大鼠RGC,提高sirt1在RGC中的表达水平.

abstractsObjective To construct a lentiviral vector carrying rat sirt1 gene and observe the expression of sirt1 in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) of rat.Methods Rat sirt1 cDNA was inserted into pLV5 vector.After identification by sequencing analysis and PCR,the recombinant sirt1expressinglentivirus vector was packaged by cotransfecting 293T cells with packaged plasmid.Then pLV5-sirt1 was used to infect the cultured Sprague-Dawley rat RGC cell in vitro.The expressions of sirt1 protein and mRNA in infected rat RGC were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot.Results The sirt1 expression vector pLV5 was successful constructed and sequence was proved to be correct.The expression of sirt1 protein and mRNA in RGC was significantly increased than that in cells infected with control lentiviruses (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion We have successful constructed a sirt1 expression lentivirus vector pLV5-sirt1 and it can increase the expression of sirt1 protein and mRNA in the rat retinal ganglion cells.
