Preparation of two types p53 recombinant adenovirus and quantitative exogenous expression of green fluorescence protein by flow cytometry / 中国肺癌杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE</b>The p53 as a transcription factor in cell stress was activated to regulate cell cycle and programmed cell death to inhibit tumor growth. Usually, p53 is kept in non-activated state through various mechanisms, including the action of p53 C-terminal negative regulatory sequences. The purpose of the study is to prepare the two types p53 recombinant adenoviruses that carry full-length p53 as well as deletion of negative regulatory sequences at p53 C-terminus and to detect exogenous GFP expression in human lung cancer cell infected-virus by FCM scatter plot.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using pAdEasy-Track vector system the p53 recombinant plasmids was constructed and the homologous recombinants in E. coli was produced. The three kinds of recombinant adenovirus in L293 cells was generated, sequencing proved. Exogenous GFP expression in human lung cancer 801D cells infected-virus was detected by FCM scatter plot.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>p53 recombinant adenoviruses named Ad-p53(wtp), Ad-p53(del) and Ad-(empty carrier) were produced. Results of sequences indicate that the Ad-p53(del) was deletion of 111 bases before stop codon TGA and of 3 untranslated region at p53, the Ad-p53(wtp) no loss of any p53 base, the Ad-(empty carrier) no p53 sequence. FCM scatter plot indicate the percentage of 801D cells expressed GFP with three kinds of viral infection was almost same and was increased with the virus density. 801D contains ratio of cells with different fluorescence intensity.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The preparation of recombinant adenovirus, Ad-p53(del), pA-p53(wtp) and Ad-(empty carrier). The cells expressed-GFP can be quantitatively detected by FCM scatter plot. It was provide that the reliability of the virus system and accurate method for selecting viruses density to infecting cells.</p>
