Tn细胞凋亡抑制蛋白(TnIAP)在粉纹夜蛾细胞中的表达和活性研究

在粉纹夜蛾(Trichoplusia ni)细胞Tn-5B1-4中,高效表达了来自粉纹夜蛾细胞Tn-5B1-4能够抑制细胞凋亡的TnIAP蛋白.聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和免疫印迹分析表明,表达的重组TnIAP只有少部分是可溶性蛋白,大部分以不溶的形式存在.这一结果与以往在昆虫细胞中往往表达出可溶性蛋白不同.活性实验表明,可溶的重组TnIAP能够直接抑制caspase-9酶解Ac-LEHD-AFC的活性,也能抑制caspase-9激活HEK293细胞抽提物酶解Ac-DEVD-AFC的活性.结果进一步证明,昆虫和哺乳动物的细胞凋亡分子机制在进化上是极为保守的.     

以转座子Tn5作弗氏中华根瘤菌的可识别生态学标记的研究──Tn5的水平转移及其对R．fredii Tn5突变株运动的影响

将一株弗氏中华根瘤菌（Ｒ．ｆｒｅｄｉｉ）ＱＢ１１３０的Ｔｎ５插入突变株ＯＮ－２用于生态学研究,以评估Ｔｎ５在自然环境中的水平转移以及各种水势下Ｔｎ５对突变株ＯＮ－２在土壤中运动的影响．试验表明,在自然潮湿的土壤中,Ｔｎ５本身的水平转移频率很低,且与Ｔｎ５插入相关的突变株卡那霉素抗性表型标记在非选择性平板上连续传４０代后仍然稳定．突变株ＯＮ－２与相对应的野生型菌株ＱＢ１１３０在各种相同水势的土壤中的运动无明显差异（Ｐ＝０．０１）,表明Ｔｎ５的插入不影响突变株的运动．因此,Ｔｎ５可作为研究Ｒ．ｆｒｅｄｉｉ基因工程菌大回应用的一个稳定有效的生态学标记．

A NEW CELL CLONE DERIVED FROM TRICHOPLUSIA NI TN5B1–4 CELLS

Abstract  The characteristics of a cultured cell line do not always remain stable and may change upon continuous passage. Most continuous cell lines, even after cloning, possess several genotypes that are constantly changing. There are numerous selective and adaptive culture processes, in addition to genetic instability, that may improve phenotypic change in cell growth, virus susceptibility, gene expression, and production of virus. Similar detrimental effects of long term passaging of insect cells have also been reported for continuous cell lines, for example, Tn5B1–4 cells, which are the most widely used for the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS), provide superior production of recombinant proteins, however, this high productivity may be more evident in low passage cells. In this paper, we describe the isolation of a cell clone, Tn5B-40, from low passage Tn5B1–4 cells. The growth characteristics, productions of virus, and high level of recombinant protein productions were determined. The results showed the susceptibility of both clone and Tn5B1–4 cells to wild-type AcNPV was approximately the same rate with over 95% of infection; when the cloned cells were infected with recombinant baculoviruses expressing ß -galactosidase and secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP), expression of the recombinant proteins from the cloned cells exceeded that from the parental Tn5B1–4 cells.

Expression of the Mouse Serotonin Receptor (5HT1c) cDNA in Cultured Insect Cells

Baculovirus-mediated cloning and expression of the mouse serotonin receptor (5HT1c) cDNA in insect cells was proposed to create an alternative to the oocyte-based system commonly employed in electrophysiological studies of ionic channels. A recombinant bacmid was constructed, and the 5HT1c cDNA was transferred into the AcNPV genome to yield a recombinant baculovirus. Infected insect Sf9 cells produced recombinant 5HT1c.     

Production of recombinant endostatin from stably transformed Trichoplusia ni BTI Tn 5B1-4 cells

The recombinant plasmids harboring a heterologous gene coding mouse endostatin were transfected and expressed stably in Trichoplusia ni BTI Tn 5B1-4 (Tn 5B1-4) cells. Recombinant endostatin expressed in the stably transformed Tn 5B1-4 cells was secreted into the medium. Recombinant endostatin was also purified to homogeneity using a simple one-step Ni²⁺ affinity fractionation method. Purified recombinant endostatin inhibited endothelial cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration at half-maximum inhibition (ED₅₀) for recombinant endostatin was approximately 0.35 g ml^–1. In a T-flask, the stably transformed Tn 5B1-4 cells produced 14.3 mg recombinant endostatin l^–1 at 6 days of cultivation.
