ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct a recombinant lentiviral expression vectors carrying MEG3 and to evaluate its effects on XG-7 cell apoptosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A full-length genomic fragment of human MEG3 was cloned from the pcDNA3.0-MEG3 packaging plasmid and was amplified by PCR. New restriction sites were introduced to be blunted with T4 DNA Ligase. The sequence of the amplified segments was sub-cloned into lentivirus expression vector pCDH-EF1-MCS-T2A-copGFP.The recombined lentiviral expression vector was transfected into 293T cells. FACS was used to detect the effect of MEG3 on XG-7 cell apoptosis after being infected by optimized MOI.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The recombined lentiviral expression vector pCDH-EF1-MEG3-copGFP was constructed successfully. The results showed that pCDH-EF1-MEG3-copGFP could increase the mRNA expression of MEG3 dramatically, its transfection efficiency was more than 90%. The apoptosis rate in XG-7 cells (26.8±2.8%) was very significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The recombined lentiviral LncRNA expression vector targeting MEG3, pCDH-EF1-MEG3-copGFP, has been successfully constructed, the pCDH-EF1-MEG3-copGFP can induce the cell apoptosis in human myeloma cell lines. This study set up a basis to further explore the relationship between human myeloma cells and LncRNA-MEG3 gene.</p>
