摘要: 目的:构建SREBP-1c过表达HepG2细胞模型并观察其对脂滴含量的影响,为进一步深入研究肝癌脂滴代谢异常机制提供细胞模型。方法:采用DNA重组技术,将SREBP-1c基因克隆至慢病毒表达载体pLenti 6.3/V5中,并用脂质体介导法将慢病毒包装系统和带目的基因的质粒pLenti6.3-SREBP-1c共转染293T细胞,收集上清,感染HepG2细胞。通过Real-time PCR和Western blot对细胞株进行鉴定。采用免疫荧光检测HepG2细胞中脂滴的数量、大小及细胞内甘油三酯的含量。结果:成功构建了过表达SREBP-1c基因的慢病毒载体pLenti6.3-SREBP-1c,转染后HepG2细胞中可见明显的SREBP-1c蛋白表达。Real-time PCR检测结果显示转染SREBP-1c基因的HepG2细胞中SREBP-1c mRNA水平较对照组升高了约11.4倍。Western blot结果显示SREBP-1c蛋白水平较对照组提高3.2倍。免疫荧光显示过表达SREBP-1c能够明显增加HepG2细胞内脂滴的数量和大小。细胞内甘油三酯定量结果显示甘油三酯含量较对照组明显升高(P < 0.01)。结论:成功构建了SREBP-1c基因过表达的重组慢病毒载体及其稳定转染细胞株。高表达SREBP-1c的HepG2细胞增加了细胞中脂滴的数量、大小和甘油三酯的含量,可用于从脂滴代谢方面对肝癌发病分子机制的研究。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Construction of a recombinant lentiviral vector overexpressed SREBP-1c,its transfection into human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepG2) with high transfection efficiency and its effect on cellular lipid storage. METHODS: SREBP-1c gene was cloned from pCMV5-HA-SREBP-1c by polymerase chain reaction and identified by gene sequencing. The SREBP-1c gene was cloned to lentiviral expression vector (pLenti6.3/V5) by recombing DNA technology. The 293T cells were co-transfected with lentiviral packaged systems and the SREBP-1c plasmid by Lipofectamine2000 reageant to package the lentiviral particles,viral supernatant was collected,HepG2 cells were then infected by pLenti6.3-SREBP-1c. After puromycin screening,HepG2 cells were constructed. Real time PCR and Western blot assays were performed to analyzed SREBP-1c expression levels. Cellular lipid storage was detected under fluorescent microscopy and the triacylglyceride(TAG) content by TLC analysis in SREBP-1c-overexpressing HepG2 cells. RESULTS: pLenti6.3-SREBP-1c was successfully constructed and verified by restriction analysis and sequencing. SREBP-1c gene expression level in HepG2 cells with SREBP-1c gene transfection was 11.4 times higher than the control. SREBP-1c protein level in HepG2 cells with SREBP-1c gene transfection was 3.2 times higher than the control. The number and size of lipid droplets (LDs) was increased,and a higher concentration of TAG was found in SREBP-1c-overexpressing cells compared with the control (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Recombinant lentiviral vector pLenti6.3-SREBP-1c and SREBP-1c-overexpressing cell strain was successfully constructed. The high protein and mRNA levels of SREBP-1c were assessed after HepG2 cells were transfected. SREBP-1c increased the lipid storage of HepG2 cells. The constructed cells can become a useful tool for lipid metabolism research of liver carcinoma.
