摘要
目的构建蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫alpha-8贾第素(α-8 giardin)特异性锤头状核酶-GCV重组载体。方法采用RNA draw软件对蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫α-8贾第素基因序列(GenBank登录号为AY781323)的二级结构进行模拟分析,按照G∶C比例和锤头状核酶设计原则,选取合适的核酶切割靶点,设计特异性锤头状核酶(H8)序列,并将其与犬贾第虫病毒(GCV)连接,获得α-8贾第素特异性锤头状核酶-GCV重组载体(pGCV634/H8/1423)。将载体线性化体外转录产物电击转染至贾第虫滋养体细胞内。提取转染后24 h的各组虫体总RNA,并以其为模板采用RT-PCR验证转染效果及对靶mRNA的切割效果。结果成功设计、合成了蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫α-8贾第素mRNA锤头状核酶序列(H8),将其与犬贾第虫病毒载体(GCV)连接,成功构建了pGCV634/H8/1423;RT-PCR实验结果表明,重组载体pGCV634/H8/1423转染贾第虫细胞后24 h可检测到核酶RNA的存在,并实现了对α-8贾第素mRNA高效、特异的切割作用。结论构建的pGCV634/H8/1423能有效转染至贾第虫细胞内,并在其细胞内对α-8贾第素基因的mRNA具有高效、特异的切割作用。
Objective To construct a GCV-ribozyme recombinant vectors of α-8 giardin in Giardia lamblia.Methods The secondary structure of α-8 giardin mRNA(GenBank Accession No.AY781323) was analyzed with the RNA draw software.According to the proportion of G ∶ C and principles of designing hammerhead ribozyme,suitable ribozyme cleavage points were chosen.A specific antisense-hammerhead ribozyme(H8)was designed and synthesized.The ribozyme was cloned into Giardia canis virus(GCV) vector to construct a recombinant viral vector-pGCV634/H8/1423.The vector was linearized and transcripted into the trophozoites of G.lamblia by electroporation method.The α-8 giardin mRNA level of the transfectants and normal trophozoites were analyzed 24 h after electroporation by RT-PCR.Results The recombinant vector of GCV-specific hammerhead ribozyme of α-8 giardin in Giardia lamblia(pGCV634/H8/1423) was constructed.RT-PCR assays showed the ribozyme(H8) mRNA can be detected 24 h after transfection and α-8 giardin mRNA was cleaved effectively by ribozyme(H8) introcellularly.Conclusion pGCV634/H8/1423 can transfect Giardia trophozoites and cleave mRNA of α-8 giardin intracellularly.
