ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct a luciferase reporter gene vector of p-selectin gene promoter and determine its transcriptional activity for screening the effect of drugs on the transcriptional activity of p-selectin promoter.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Primers were designed based on human p-selectin promoter sequence from UCSC software. The p-selectin promoter from human genome DNA was then amplified. After digestion of pGL3-Basic vector and p-selectin promoter with Kpn I and Xho I, p-selectin promoter was inserted into pGL3-basic vector. The recombinant plasmid, namely pGL3-p-selectin-promoter, was transiently cotransfected into 293F cells with pRL-SV40 as the control vector, and the activity of the dual luciferase was detected. The transcription activity of serially truncated segments of the p-selectin promoter reporter gene was quantified by luciferase expression. 293F cells transfected with pGL3-p-selectin-promoter reporter gene and dual luciferase were stimulated with LPS, TNF-α and As2O3, and the transcriptional activity of p-selectin promoter were assessed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>pGL3-p-selectin-promoter was constructed successfully as verified by restriction digestion and sequence analysis. The luciferase activity was higher in pGL3-p-selectin-promoter/pRL-SV40 group than in pGL3-basic/pRL-SV40 group (0.8573±0.4703 vs 0.03955±0.05894). pGL3- 1826 bp was actively transcribed compared with pGL3-1092 bp and pGL3-3738 bp. LPS, TNF-α and As2O3 significantly enhanced the transcriptional activity of p-selectin promoter.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>pGL3-p-selectin-promoter can be transcribed and activated in 293F cells. This study provided an important basis for acquiring transcriptional factors and screening inflammatory factors and drugs.</p>
