Construction of pEGFP-C1-HSP27 recombinant eukaryotic expression vector and screening of human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cell line stably expressing HSP27

Abstract

Objective To construct pEGFP-C1-HSP27 recombinant eukaryotic expression vector and establish human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cell line stably expressing HSP27.Methods RT-PCR was applied to amplify human HSP27 cDNA from human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells with a pair of specific primers carrying a restriction enzyme site BamH Ⅰ or Hind Ⅲ on each 5' end.HSP27 cDNA was inserted into pEGFP-C1 vector and then identified by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing.Successful constructed pEGFP-C1-HSP27 or empty vector was transfected into SW1990 cells by lipofectamine 2000,respectively.The location of HSP72 was determined by fluoroscopy,RT-PCR and Western blot was used to detect the expression of HSP27 in transfected cell.Results The DNA sequence of pEGFP-C1-HSP27 recombinant plasmid was completely correct,and it was successfully transfected into SW1990 cell lines and stably transfected SW1990 cell lines were obtained,which were confirmed by restriction enzyme and sequencing.The expression of EGFP was distributed in cytoplasm,the HSP27mRNA expression was significantly increased (1.458 ± 0.160vs0.897 ±0.051,P ＜0.05).In addition,it was showed that EGFP-HSP27 fusion protein was expressed.Conclusions The eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-C1-HSP27 was constructed successfully and stably transfected SW1990 cell line expressing HSP27 was obtained.
