Cloning and Identification of Mouse Natural Soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor

The increasing data show that the soluble form of Flt|1 have the ability to block the biological activity of VEGF due to competitive binding of VEGF and formation of homologous and heterogenous dimmer with transmembrane Flt|1 and KDR.However,for the complete blocking of the biological activity of VEGF,it depends on highly efficient expression of sFlt|1 besides its high affinity to VEGF.The highly efficient expression of protein is closely related with the processing in Golgi body and endoplasmic reticulum.The recombinant soluble Flt|1 has a relative lower expression than natural soluble Flt|1 in eukaryote cell for unknown reason.So,how to increase the expression of soluble Flt|1,becomes an urgently resolved problem.cDNA of natural soluble Flt|1( sflt |1) was cloned from the embryo of 12E days mouse by RT|PCR.Then,the sflt|1 gene was subcloned into pcDNA 3 eukaryotic expression vector.The Southern blot,Norhern blot and Western blot were performed in COS|7 cells transfected with pcDNA 3| sflt |1 DNA.SDS|PAGE showed that the protein of sflt |1 could be well expressed.Moreover,the sflt |1 gene was subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET42b,the sFlt|1 fusion protein with His|tag could be expressed abundantly after induction by IPTG.After denaturation,purification with His|Ni column and refolding,the biological activity assay of sFlt|1 was performed by inhibition on proliferation of HUVEC induced by VEGF.Because the high expression of sflt|1 in tumor tissue could efficiently block the neovascularization,it would become a promising approach to tumor treatment.
