摘要
目的:跨膜型TNFα(TMTNFα)易在某些蛋白酶的作用下转换为分泌型TNFα(STNFα)。拟用基因突变技术获得稳定表达的、不能转换成STNF的TMTNF突变体(TMTNFm)。方法:应用RTPCR技术,从人外周血单核细胞中扩增出编码TMTNFα的全长cDNA序列并构建pBSKTNFα重组体。以此为模板,借助改进的“一次重组PCR”定位突变技术,造成TMTNF转换为STNF酶切位点的缺失,获得TMTNF突变重组体(TMTNFm)。结果:将TMTNFmcDNA片段克隆至表达载体pGEM3Zf,利用体外转录翻译系统表达出具有生物学活性的跨膜突变型TNFα蛋白。经Westernblot分析证实,用胶原酶不能将TMTNF突变体酶解成为STNF。结论:提示所构建的TMTNFm去除了可转换为STNF的酶解氨基酸序列,为进一步研究跨膜型TNF杀瘤作用奠定了基础。
Objective: Transmembrane TNF (TMTNF) can readily be
converted by certain proteinase into secretary TNF(STNF). Therefore, in the present study, the
authors attempt to make use of mutagenesis technique for constructing a kind of stable
expressed TMTNF mutant (TMTNFm) which would not be cleaved into STNF. Methods: A full
length of TMTNF cDNA was amplified from the human monocytes by RTPCR and cloned into
plasmid pBSK to construct recombinant pBSKTMTNF. pBSKTMTNF mutant was then obtained by
deletion of enzymatic site for conversion of TMTNF into STNF with the sitedirected mutagenic
method of modified 'SingleStep PCR'. Results: The mutant was subcloned into expression
plasmid pGM3Zf and then in vitro transcribed and translated into protein which displayed its
biological activities. As shown by Western blot, TMTNF mutant could not be speciafically
hydrolyzed into STNF by collagenase. Conclusion: These results suggested that TMTNFm
produced was indeed void of the amino acids sequence that could be enzymatically cleaved
laying a foundation for the further study on the antitumor activity of TMTNF.
