    摘要:

    目的:构建大鼠X染色体连锁的凋亡抑制蛋白相关因子1(X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis associated factor 1,XAF1)基因启动子(全长和截断)荧光素酶报告质粒,并观察在人胚肾细胞HEK293中过表达干扰素调节因子-1(interferon regulatory factor-1,IRF-1)对XAF1基因启动活性的影响,同时,筛选其可能的IRF-1结合位点-方法:采用PCR技术,扩增出大鼠XAF1基因启动子序列(-1497 ~ +166 nt),将XAF1基因启动子插入荧光素酶报告基因载体pGL3-basic中获得pGL3-XAF1-QC,与大鼠野生型IRF-1表达质粒(pcDNA3.1-IRF-1)共转染HEK293细胞,检测其荧光素酶活性,确定IRF-1对XAF1基因的启动作用-同时,应用生物信息学软件预测XAF1基因启动子上IRF-1潜在的结合位点,并构建截断的XAF1基因启动子荧光素酶报告质粒(pGL3-XAF1-1-pGL3-XAF1-2-pGL3-XAF1-3和pGL3-XAF1-4)-将上述全长和各截断的XAF1基因启动子荧光素酶报告质粒和IRF-1过表达质粒共转染HEK293细胞,再行荧光素酶活性测定,筛选IRF-1的结合位点-结果:菌液PCR及核酸测序证实,上述荧光素酶报告质粒均构建成功-将pGL3-XAF1-QC和pcDNA3.1-IRF-1共转染HEK293细胞发现,XAF1基因启动子活性显著增加-而将pGL3-XAF1-QC-pGL3-XAF1(1~4号)和pcDNA3.1-IRF-1共转染HEK293细胞后证实,pGL3-XAF1-3的启动活性显著低于pGL3-XAF1-1和pGL3-XAF1-2-提示IRF-1可能结合在大鼠XAF1基因启动子的-337 ~ -47 nt区域-结论:本实验成功构建了大鼠全长及截断的XAF1基因启动子荧光素酶报告质粒,并初步筛查出IRF-1在XAF1基因启动子上的结合区域,为后续研究奠定了基础-

    Abstract:

    Objective:To construct luciferase reporter plasmids of full-length and truncated promotors of rat X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis associated factor 1(XAF1) gene and detect their activity in HEK293 cells in response to interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) overexpression,screening the possible binding sites for IRF-1. Methods: Rat XAF1 promoter(-1497 ~ +166 nt) was amplified by PCR and cloned into the luciferase reporter plasmid(pGL3-basic). The recombinant plasmid(pGL3-XAF1-QC) and rat IRF-1 expression plasmid(pcDNA3.1-IRF-1) were co-transfected into HEK293 cells and then the luciferase activity was detected to comfirm the role of IRF-1 in XAF1 gene transcription. Meanwhile,the possible IRF-1 binding sites within XAF1 promoter were predicted by using bioinformatics software. Based on the predicted results,different luciferase reporter plasmids of truncated XAF1 gene promotor (pGL3-XAF1-1,pGL3-XAF1-2,pGL3-XAF1-3 and pGL3-XAF1-4) were constructed. The promoter luciferase reporter plasmids of pGL3-XAF1-QC or pGL3-XAF1-1,-2,-3,-4 and the plasmid of pcDNA3.1-IRF-1 were co-transfected into HEK293 cells. Then,the luciferase activity was detected to screen the IRF-1 binding sites. Results: It was verified that different kinds of plasmids were all constructed correctly by PCR analysis and nucleotide sequencing. The plasmids of pGL3-XAF1-QC and pcDNA3.1-IRF-1 were co-transfected into HEK293 cells,and then the luciferase activity was detected. The result showed that the transcriptional activity of XAF1 gene was increased markedly in response to IRF-1 overexpression. In addition,when the plasmids of pGL3-XAF1-QC or pGL3-XAF1-1,-2,-3,-4 and pcDNA3.1-IRF-1 were co-transfected into HEK293 cells,the activity of pGL3-XAF1-3 was much lower than that in pGL3-XAF1-1 and pGL3-XAF1-2,indicating that the region of rat XAF promoter(-337 ~ -47 nt) might contain IRF-1 binding element. Conclusion: The rat full-length and truncated rat XAF1 promotor luciferase reporter plasmids were constructed successfully,and the IRF-1 binding region was found,which could be beneficial to further studies.
