Construction and identification of adenovirus vector for double-mutant human hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha gene / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct an adenovirus vector containing the double-mutant hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) gene for exploring the therapeutic angiogenesis for coronary heart disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human double-mutant HIF-1alpha cDNA was obtained from PCR of pShuttle-2-HIF-1alpha containing the mutant HIF-1alpha gene (564). The recombinant adenoviral plasmid containing mutant HIF-1alpha cDNA was constructed by ligation of recombinant pShuttle2 containing double-mutant HIF-1alpha cDNA and Adeno-X viral DNA, followed by its identification and transfection into adenoviral packaging cells HEK293 via lipofectamine 2000.</p><p><b>RESULT AND CONCLUSION</b>The recombinant pAdeno-HIF-1alpha was correctly constructed and verified by restriction endonuclease and DNA sequencing analyseis. This recombinant adenovirus containing the double-mutant HIF-1alpha gene may facilitate further investigation of mutant HIF-1alphagene therapy for coronary heart disease.</p>
