Macrohage inflammatory protein1α (MIP1α) is a new type of chemokines which has chemotactic activity on effector cells. In the present study, the B16 melanoma cells were transfected with recombinant adenovirus harboring murine MIP1α gene. The biological characteristics of the MIP1α gene transfected B16 melanoma cells were investigated. The level of MIP1α in the supernatant of genetransfected melanoma cells was 368±24 ng/ml/106/24hr. This supernatant showed strong chematactic activity for NK cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells or the freshly isolated peritoneal macrophages. Though the in vitro growth were not altered, the tumorigenicity of the genetransfected B16 melanoma cells decreased signicantly. The infiltration of inflammatory cells into the tumor mass formed by MIP1α genetransfected B16 cells were much more obvious than that by wildtype B16 cells or B16 cells transfected with the control gene. However, the survival time of the mice bearing B16 melanoma cells transfected with MIP1α gene was not prolonged and the NK, CTL activity remianed unchanged. We suggested that the in vivo phenomenon may be related to the high toxicity of the MIP1 α as a strong nonspecific inflammatory mediator.展开更多

Genetic manipulation in rats has lagged behind that in mice due to the lack of efficient gene targeting tools. Previously, we generated a knockout rat via conventional homologous recombination in rat embryonic stern （ES） cells. Here, we show that efficient gene targeting in rat ES cells can be achieved quickly through transcription activator-like effector nuclease （TALEN）-mediated DNA double-strand breaks. Using the Golden Gate cloning technique, we constructed a pair of TALEN targeting vectors for the gene of interest in 5 days. After gene transfection, the targeted rat ES cell colonies were isolated, screened, and confirmed by PCR without the need of drug selection. Our results suggest that TALEN-mediated gene targeting is a superior means of establishing genetically modified rat ES cell lines with high efficiency and short turnaround time.展开更多
