ABSTRACT
Purpose:To clone and construct an eukaryotic expressive vector of ribonuclease inhibitor (RI) gene ,as well as to observe the effects of the transfected pLNCX-ri on the growth of C6 glioma cells.Methods:A segment of RI gene of 1.4 kb was obtained by Nde I/Xho digestion and cloned into pLNCX. Transfective agent and selective antibiotic were lipofect AMINE and G418 respectively. The expression of pLNCX-ri in C6 glioma cells was detected by Western blotting. And SD rats were inoculated by the transfected C6 glioma cells.Results:An eukaryotic expressive vector of RI gene was constructed successfully. RI content was remarkably higher in the transfected cells than that of in the untransfected cells. After SD rats were inoculated by the transfected C6 glioma cells,the tumorigenic time was prolonged, the tumor weight was reduced and the density of tumor vessels was notably decreased. Conclusions:These results indicated that RI gene powerfully inhibited the growth of C6 glioma cells via decreasing tumor vessels formation.
