    摘要:

    根据条件基因敲除技术和基因沉默的理论,构建了可被CRE操控的条件基因沉默系统,并应用其研究分子伴侣相互作用蛋白CHIP(C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein)对TGF-β信号通路的调控.RT-PCR和免疫印迹结果显示,pLoxP/CHIPi与CRE相互作用后,可以有效地降低内源CHIP的mRNA水平,减少外源和内源CHIP的蛋白质量.荧光素酶报告系统分析表明,条件基因沉默能解除CHIP对TGF-β信号通路的抑制性调控,增强TGF-β信号通路的转录活性.结果表明,CRE依赖的条件基因沉默系统具有高效性、特异性,并通过它反向验证了CHIP对TGF-β信号通路的抑制性调控,为进一步研究与CHIP相关的TGF-β信号通路所致疾病的发生机理提供了有效工具.

    Abstract:

    To establish a conditional knocking down system by RNA interfering, the cassette of LoxP-neo-LoxP was inserted into the pBS/U6/CHIPi construct. The destination vector is named pLoxP/CHIPi, which generates an siRNA targeting CHIP (C-terminal hsc70 interacting protein) gene, dependent on expression of the CRE recombinase. In this conditional knocking down model, it is demonstrated that the siRNA of CHIP could effectively decrease not only the mRNA level but also the exogenous or endogenous protein level in mammalian cells after CRE recombinase was expressed, as testing by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Luciferase assay showed that transfection of pLoxP/CHIPi with Cre released the CHIP-mediated inhibition of TGF-β signaling. Significantly, pLoxP/CHIPi facilitated the TGF-β signal transduction in the presence of CRE. These results demonstrate that the conditional knocking down system was successfully constructed, and was applicable for further investigation of the negatively regulatory effect of CHIP on TGF-βsignal pathway. The study also provide a powerful tool for further study on the molecular mechanisms and path-physiologic basis related to CHIP-mediated TGF-β signal pathway.
