ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the expression of protein 4.1 family members in mouse melanoma cell lines and evaluate their effect on cell proliferation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>PCR and Western blot were used to detected to the expression of protein 4.1 family members (4.1R, 4.1B, 4.1G, and 4.1N) at the mRNA and protein levels in B16 and B16-F10 cell lines. The expression plasmid vector pEGFP-N1-EPB41L3 carrying 4.1B gene sequence amplified from genomic RNA of mouse embryo fibroblasts was constructed and transiently transfected into mouse melanoma cells. The change in cell proliferation was assessed using MTT assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mRNA and protein expressions of all the protein 4.1 family members, with the exception of 4.1B, were detected in both B16 and B16-F10 cells. Transfection of cells with the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1-EPB41L3 markedly inhibited cell proliferation as compared with the non-transfected cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The eukaryotic expression vector carrying EPB41L3 sequence is capable of inhibiting the proliferation of mouse melanoma B16 and B16-F10 cells.</p>
