Construction of lung cancer cell model overexpressing human MutS homologue 2(hMSH2) / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To construct human lung cancer cell model with human MutS homologous protein 2 (hMSH2) overexpression for exploring the effect of hMSH2 molecule in the cytotoxicity of γδ T cell against lung cancer cells.Methods hMSH2 coding sequence was cloned by PCR for construction of recombinant vector which over expressed hMSH2-EGFP fusion protein using homologous recombination.The recombinant vector was transfected to lung cancer cell line NCI-H520 to construct human lung cancer cell model overexpressing hMSH2 molecule.The expression of hMSH2 molecule in NCI-H520 was detected by Western blot.The expression of hMSH2 on the cell membrane was measured by flow cytometry.Cytotoxicity of expanded γδ T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells against NCI-H520 cells was detected by LDH release assay in vitro.Results hMSH2 coding sequence (2805 bp) was cloned and the result of restriction endonuclease digestion of Fugw-hMSH2 recombinant vector was accordance with the anticipated objective strip size.Exogenous hMSH2-EGFP fusion protein was expressed in NCIH520 cells.The level of hMSH2 molecule on the surface of NCI-H520 cells with overexpression of hMSH2 was significantly increased (P＜0.001).Cytotoxicity of γδ T cells against NCI-H520 cells with overexpression of hMSH2 was significantly increased compared to the wild type NCI-H520 cells (P＜0.05).Conclusions Lung cancer cell model that overexpresses hMSH2 molecule is successfully constructed,hMSH2 molecule on the cell membrane is increased and the cytotoxicity of γδ T cells against lung cancer cells is enhanced.
