ABSTRACT

This study was purposed to explore the effect of lentivirus-mediated CAV1 overexpression on proliferation and apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Recombinant lentiviral expression vector pcDNA-EF1-CAV1 was constructed, and cotransfected the 293TN cells with a mixture of pPACK packaging plasmids. Then collecting virus suspension infects the HL-60 cells, which make CAV1 gene stable transfection and high expression in the cells. The CAV1 protein expression status in HL-60 cells transfected was evaluated through Western blot method. Proliferative activity and apoptosis of HL-60 cells before and after transfection were detected by CCK-8 method and flow cytometry, respectively. The results showed that the PCR-positive clone screening and results of nucleotide sequencing confirmed that the CAV1 gene inserted into the expression vector pcDNA-EF1-GFP correctly, recombinant lentiviral particles Lv-CAV1 transfected HL-60 cells successfully and with transfection rate up to 90%. The result of Western blot showed that CAV1 protein expression in HL-60 cells significantly increased at 48 hours after transfection. CCK-8 result indicated that cell proliferation activity increased at 48 h after transfection (P < 0.05), flow cytometry testing results displayed that apoptosis rate of HL-60 cells obviously decreased after transfection (P < 0.01). It is concluded that the overexpression of CAV1 in HL-60 cells can inhibit cell proliferation activity and promote cell apoptosis.

ABSTRACT

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been broadly investigated and shown to exert many preventive and therapeutic actions besides their important role in maintenances human health and normal development. In mammals, the level of omega-3 PUFAs is relatively too low compared with omega-6 PUFAs, which metabolically and functionally distinct from omega-3 PUFAs and often have important opposing physiological functions. Either the inefficiency of omega-3 PUFAs or the excess of omega-6 PUFAs will cause many healthy problems. So methods have been sought to increase the amount of omega-3 PUFAs and to improve the omega-6/omega-3 ratio in body. In this study, the sFat-1 gene, which putatively encodes a omega-3 fatty acid desaturase, was chemically synthesized according to the sequence from Caenorhabditis briggssae (with codon usage modified), and constructed into a mammal expression vector pcDNA3. 1-sFat1-EGFP. This vector was introduced into CHO cells by lipid-mediated transfection, and it's expression quickly and effectively elevated the cellular omega-3 PUFAs (from 18-carbon to 22-carbon) contents and dramatically improved the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 PUFAs. Cellular lipids extracts from stably selected cells were analyzed with GC-MS and the results showed that amount of total omega-6 PUFAs dropped from 48.97% (in GFP cells)to 35.29% (in sFat-1 cells), whereas the amount of total omega-3 PUFAs increased from 7.86% to 24.02%, respectively. The omega-6/omega-3 ratio also dropped from 6.23 to 1.47. These data demonstrates the Caenorhabditis briggssae omega-3 Fatty Acid Desaturase gene, sFat-1, was synthesized successfully and can produce omega-3 PUFAs by using the corresponding omega-6 PUFAs as substrates, which shows its potential for use in the production of omega-3 PUFAs in transgenic animals.
