[The Study of Recombinant Interfering Lentiviruses and Overexpressed Adenovirus Vectors Targeting Human c-Cbl Gene： Construction, Identification and Efficacy].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To construct recombinant lentivirus and adenovirus which regulate the expression of c-Cbl gene and evaluate their efficacy. METHODS: The interference lentivirus and overexpressed adenovirus targeting human c-Cbl gene were constructed by gene recombination technology. Quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression changes in c-Cbl gene and its transcription after leukemia cells (HL60,THP1) were infected by virus. RESULTS: Three recombinant interfering lentiviral vectors targeting human c-Cbl genes to successfully constructed and were identified by DNA sequencing, and the titers of the packaged viruses were all greater than 1×108 TU/ml. Among them, shRNA-2 lentivirus had the highest interference efficiency, and the expression of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein were decreased about 95% and 60% respectively after leukemia cells were infected with shRNA-2; In addition, the recombinant overexpression adenovirus targeting human c-Cbl gene was packaged successfully with the virus titer greater than 1×109 TU/ml. When leukemia cells were infected with adenovirus, the expression of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein were up-regulated about 10 times and 1.5 times respectively. CONCLUSION: Both recombinant interfering lentivirus and overexpression adenovirus can efficiently infect leukemia cells and affect the expressions of c-Cbl gene and CBL protein. It will lay a preliminary foundation for the subsequent study on the function of c-Cbl gene in tumor cells.
