| Abstract: | AIM: To express a recombinant fusion protein anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 single-chain variable fragment with green fluorescent protein (anti-HER2-ScFv-GFP) using the insect cells-Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system and to analyze the binding function of this fusion protein with HER2 on the surface of the breast cancer cells. METHODS: Human anti-HER2-ScFv gene from mice was fused with GFP gene. To obtain the recombinant plasmid pFAST Bac-to-Bac HT A/anti-HER2-ScFv-GFP, we inserted it into Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression plasmid pFAST Bac-to-Bac HT A. The identified recombinant plasmid was transferred into Escherichia coli DH10Bac to allow the generation of a recombinant bacmid. After transfected the recombinant virus bacmid into the insect cells Tn-5B1-4, the recombinant virus was collected to infect Tn-5B1-4. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis were used to verify the expression product in Tn-5B1-4. The fusion protein was purified with Ni2+-NTA affinity chromatography. The purified fusion protein was bound to the surface of HER2-positive breast cancer cells SKBR3 and HER2-negative breast cancer cells MCF7. The binding effects on the surface of breast cancer cells were observed under laser confocal microscope. RESULTS: The fusion gene anti-HER2-ScFv-GFP was successfully constructed with the length of 1 539 bp. The green fluorescence was also observed in Tn-5B1-4 cells infected with the recombinant virus under fluorescent microscope. A 60 kD protein was examined and confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Under laser confocal microscope, strong green fluorescence was observed on the surface of the HER2-positive breast cancer cells SKBR3. However, no green fluorescence was observed on the surface of HER2-negative breast cancer cell MCF7. Obvious green fluorescence on the surface of HER2-positive breast cancer cell SKBR3 was also found after the cells were eluted with 1×PBS. CONCLUSION: The fusion protein anti-HER2-ScFv-GFP was successfully expressed in insect cells Tn-5B1-4, and can firmly bind to the surface of breast cancer cells SKBR3 and emit the green fluorescent light. |
