| Abstract: | AIM:To study the potential of using antisense RNA mediated by expression vector to suppress MIF expression. METHODS:MIF gene was sub-cloned into plasmid pcDNA3 to construct MIF antisense RNA expression vector, pcDNA3-antiMIF, which was identified by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. By using lipofectamine 2000, plasmid pcDNA3 and pcDNA3-antiMIF were transfected into MIF expression cells, 293-MIF, separately. 60 h later, the 293-MIF cells were collected and used to determine the MIF mRNA expression by real-time quantitive PCR. Plasmid pcDNA3-antiMIF was transformed into HUVECs, named HUVECs-antiMIF, to express MIF antisense RNA. HUVECs-antiMIF was screened by sulfate G418 and identified by PCR and RT-PCR analysis. Then the MIF expression vector, pSecTag-MIF, was transfected into HUVECs-antiMIF, and the MIF mRNA expression in HUVECs-antiMIF was determined by quantitative PCR. RESULTS:Restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing analysis showed that MIF antisense RNA expression vector, pcDNA3-antiMIF, was constructed correctly. The results of quantitative PCR showed that MIF mRNA expression was suppressed by MIF antisense RNA at level about 32% (P<0.05) in 293-MIF cells. The HUVECs-antiMIF, which expressed MIF antisense RNA, was obtained and identified by PCR and RT-PCR assay. The results of quantitative PCR revealed that MIF mRNA expression was also down-regulated by about 40% (P<0.05) in HUVECs-antiMIF cells. CONCLUSION:MIF expression was suppressed efficiently by MIF antisense RNA mediated by expression vector, and the HUVECs-antiMIF was established to express MIF antisense RNA. |
