The effect of inhibiting EOLA1 expression in ECV304 cells / 中华医学遗传学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of inhibiting the expression of endothelial-overexpressed lipopolysaccharide-associated factor 1 (EOLA1) on proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell line ECV304.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>After constructing and transfecting EGFP-EOLA1 fusion protein expressive vector into ECV304 cells, the transfected cells was cultured in M199 containing G418 for 5 weeks to screen the cell line stable expression EGFP-EOLA1 fusion protein. Oligonucleotides targeting EOLA1 at different sites were synthesized and inserted into pSinencer3.1/H1 vector. Then, the recombinant vector was transfected into the cultured ECV304 cells and the inhibiting effect to target gene EOLA1 was investigated by observing the green fluorescence in transfected cells under inverted fluorescent microscope and by Western blot assay. The proliferation of ECV304 cells was numbered when the expression of EOLA1 in ECV304 cells was inhibited by RNA interference.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The ECV304 cell line stably expressing EGFP-EOLA1 fusion protein was constructed and the siEOLA1 interfere vectors can knock down EOLA1 gene expression specially. When blocking the expression of EOLA1 in ECV304 cells,the proliferation of cells slowed down.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>EOLA1 maybe has a role on the proliferation of cells.</p>
