Tet-On调控HSVtk表达的重组腺相关病毒载体的构建和感染活性的检测

构建含有Tet基因调节系统及自杀基因HSVtk的重组腺相关病毒载体pAAV TRE HSVtk Tet_On ,并使用PCR技术和限制性内切酶消化进行鉴定。用构建好的重组质粒分别与辅助质粒pAAV_RC、pHelper以磷酸钙共沉淀法转染HEK2 93细胞,进行病毒包装后得到了AAV TRE HSVtk Tet_On重组腺相关病毒,以氯化铯密度梯度离心对包装好的病毒进行纯化。用纯化后的重组腺相关病毒感染乳腺癌细胞株MCF_7后,斑点杂交检测结果显示,HSVtk基因整合进入MCF_7细胞基因组中。有感染活性的重组腺相关病毒能将目的基因转移到宿主细胞中,在Dox诱导下,GCV对AAV感染的MCF_7细胞具有明显的杀伤作用。

The Construction of Recombinant AAV Vector Expressing HSVtk Gene Controlled by Tet-On and the Detection of its Activity

In order to investigate the application of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector containing Tet regulation system and HSVtk gene in cancer gene therapy, pAAV/TRE/HSVtk/Tet-On was constructed and identified with PCR and restriction enzyme digestion. Packaging cells HEK293 were cotransfected with plasmids pAAV/TRE/HSVtk/Tet-On,pAAV-RC and pAAV-helper to produce infectious rAAV, and CsCl 2 density gradient centrifugation method was performed for purification and concentration of rAAV. The viruses were then transduced into MCF-7 cells. The results of dot blot hybridization indicate that the rAAV can transfer the target gene into MCF-7 cells. MTT assay showed that GCV could kill AAV-infected MCF-7 cells under the induction of Dox. The data demonstrated that rAAV containing Tet regulation system and HSVtk gene was successfully obtained, and could be used for further investigation of in vivo and in vitro experiments.
