摘要:

神经营养因子3对中枢神经系统和视网膜损伤修复具有显著的促进作用。以往报道多为神经营养因子3病毒表达载体,而质粒载体比病毒更安全,更容易用到临床研究。实验将获得的人视网膜神经营养因子3 DNA与带绿色荧光蛋白标记的真核表达质粒pEGFP-N1重组中构建pEGFP-N1-NT-3表达质粒,然后将其转染至293T细胞中,48h后转染效率达到50.06±2.78%。荧光显微镜观察可见细胞中大量表达NT-3-GFP,表明构建的pEGFP-N1-NT-3能表达和分泌高水平的神经营养因子3。激光扫描共聚焦显微镜进一步观察,NT-3-GFP在293T细胞恒定位置上形成分泌泡,说明神经营养因子3在真核细胞中的表达符合细胞内分泌蛋白的生理合成过程。Western-blot检测显示在约56kDa出现前体NT-3-GFP,进一步验证了NT-3-GFP在细胞内的表达。转染后48h后酶联免疫吸附试验细胞培养液发现神经营养因子3的浓度为22.3ng/mL,说明所构建的真核质粒质粒可以高效表达分泌神经营养因子3,证明该方法可有效构建人视网膜源性神经营养因子3真核表达质粒,并能成功表达神经营养因子3。

Abstract:

Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) can promote the repair of central nervous system and retinal damage. In previous reports, NT-3 has been expressed by viral vectors. However, plasmid vectors have a safer profile compared with viral vectors in clinical studies. This study recombined amplified human retinal NT-3 with a eukaryotic expression plasmid containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) to construct an NT-3 expression plasmid, pEGFP-N1-NT-3. The transfection efficiency 48 hours after pEGFP-N1-NT-3 transfection to 293T cells was 50.06 ± 2.78%. Abundant NT-3-GFP was expressed in 293T cells as observed by fluorescence microscopy, suggesting the construct pEGFP-N1-NT-3 effectively expressed and secreted NT-3-GFP. Secretory vesicles containing NT-3-GFP were observed in a constant location in cells by laser scan confocal microscopy, indicating the expression and secretion processes of NT-3 in eukaryotic cells were in accordance with the physical synthesis processes of secreted proteins. Western blot assay showed that pro-NT-3-GFP had a molecular weight of 56 kDa, further confirming NT-3-GFP expression. At 48 hours after transfection, the concentration of NT-3 in culture medium was 22.3 ng/mL, suggesting NT-3 produced by pEGFP-N1-NT-3 was efficiently secreted. This study constructed a human retinal-derived NT-3 eukaryotic expression plasmid that efficiently expressed and secreted NT-3.
