ABSTRACT
Objective Construct the eukaryotic expression vector of inhibitory member of the ASPP family (iASPP) and trans-fect it into colon carcinoma cell lines SW480 and Lovo by liposome .Then observe the expression of iASPP and detect the cell apop-tosis by flow cytometry .Methods The amplified PCR product was digested and inserted into pMD19-T simple vector and sub-cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3 .1(+ ) .The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 .1(+ )-iASPP was transfected into colon carcinoma cell lines SW480 and Lovo by liposome ,the iASPP expression was analyzed by RT-PCR .The cell apoptosis was detected by FCM .Results The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 .1(+ )-iASPP was constructed success-fully ,the gene squence of iASPP was consistent with that reported (gi 60457962) in GenBank .The mRNA expression levels of iASPP gene of SW480 and Lovo cell lines which transfect the positive plasmid were increased ,and the cell apoptosis rates were de-creased .Conclusion We successfully constructed the recombinant expression plasmid pcDNA 3 .1(+ )-iASPP ,and the plasmid were successfully expressed in colon carcinoma cell lines SW 480 and Lovo ,the cell apoptosis rates of those cell lines were decreased .These facts indicated that reducing the high expression of iASPP may be a new strategy to renew the abilities of P 53 tumor suppressor .
