ABSTRACT
Objective:
To clone and express mouse fibroblast growth factor eight(FGF 8) and investigate the function of itMethods:
According to the published sequence of mouse fibroblast growth factor 8, a pair of special primers was designed Then the full length cDNA of FGF 8b (a predominant isoform of FGF 8) was isolated from the total RNA of the mouse embryo by means of reverse transcription PCR and subcloned into the yeast expression vector of pYEX4T 1 in correct direction It was identified with sequencing The recombinant plasmid was transformed into yeasts The fusion protein expressed was verified by using Western blot The activity of the protein was examined by MTT and 3H TdR incorporationResults:
The cDNA fragment was about 600 bps, and proved to be "b" isoform of FGF 8 exactly This fusion protein, with molecular weight about 55 kD, was highly expressed in yeast system The data of MTT and 3H TdR incorporation in NIH3T3 cells were increased obviously by the protein, and decreased by the antagonistConclusion:
Fibroblast growth factor eight was cloned and expressed.The protein was found to be capable of stimulating the proliferation of NIH3T3 cells Moreover, the recombinant protein of the extracellular fragment of FGFR1 can antagonize the response of NIH3T3 to the recombinant protein
