Construction of recombinant adenoviruses carrying p50 and Its effect on Hela cells

Abstract

Objective To construct recombinant adenovirus carrying p50PIK gene and examine the effect on cervix cancer Hela cell lines after transfection with Ad-p50PIK. Methods p50PIK cDNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), with the template PcDNA3. 1-p50PIK, then cloned into the shuttle plasmid pAdTrack-CMV. The plasmid pAdTrackCMV-p50 was linearized by PmeI, followed by homologous recombination with bone plasmid pAdEasy-1 in BJ5183, then identified by enzyme digestion.After linearized by PacI and transfection into HEK293 cells, recombinant adenovirus Ad-p50PIK were obtained in HEK293 cells then amplified by 3 circles. The green fluorescence in HEK293 cells was observed.Ad-p50PIK was transfected into Hela cells. The phosphorylation of Akt was detected by Western blotting.Results After double restriction enzyme digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis of The Ad-p50PIK-GFP,the 1400 bp purpose band was sequenced, Results was exactly the same with the sequence GeneBank had reported,indicating that the recombinant adenovirus Ad-p50PIK-GFP were successfully constructed; Then transfected into HEK293 cells, green fluorescence shows that Ad-p50PIK-GFP in HEK293 packaging cells successfully expressed; by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was used to detect p50 on Akt phosphorylation, the Results show that high expression of p50 protein significantly increased AKT's Phosphorylated (Thr308).Conclusion Recombinant adenovirus Ad-p50PIK had been successfully constructed. Overexpression of p50PIK in Hela cell lines can promote phosphorylation of AKT. Key words: p50PIK; Recombinant adenovirus; Hela cells; p-AKT
