Objective:To identify Alu RNA expressed in oxidative-stressed A549 cells and to construct eukaryotic expression plasmids for Alu RNA and its two kinds of loss-of-function mutants so as to study the effect on oxidative stress in cells with overexpression of Alu RNA and its mutants. Methods:Alu RNA was amplified with RT-PCR from H2O2 treated A549 cells. pcDNA3.0-Alu(pAlu),pcDNA3.0-Alu-left arm(pAlu-LA)and pcDNA3.0-Alu G25C(pAlu-M)were constructed by directional cloning and point mutation. After recombinant transfection,reactive oxygen species(ROS) produced in transfected A549 cells was detected by DCFH-DA. Results:Alu fragment was successfully amplified from stressed A549 cells. Restriction analysis and DNA sequencing proved that recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmids of pAlu,pAlu-LA and pAlu-M were constructed as expected. pAlu or pAlu-LA transfection promoted ROS production significantly in A549 cells,while pAlu-M transfection induced ROS production was markedly decreased as compared with pAlu transfection. Conclusion:The eukaryotic expression plasmids for Alu RNA and its loss-of-function mutants were successfully constructed from oxidative-stressed A549 cells. Data in vitro suggested that Alu RNA promoted ROS production in A549 cells with translational regulation.
