Construction of expression system of secretory canstatin vector and study of its biological effects / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To construct an effective expression system for secretory canstatin, and to study its biological effects. Methods Canstatin cDNA was ligated with the cDNA of CEA signal peptide by SOE PCR, and the new fused fragment was cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pCMV-Script. The recombination vector pCMV-CEAS-Cans was transferred into human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUV-EC) and human lung adeno-carcinoma cell line A549 by cationic liposome. The expression of canstatin mRNA together with CEAS mRNA in the transformed cells were detected by real time PCR method. Results Canstatin mRNA was detected in both transformed cells. The 3 H-TdR intake rate in pCMV-CEAS-Cans transformed HUVEC cells is significant lower than that of the pCMV-Script transformed cells (P
