Stable EGFP Gene Expression in C6 Glioma Cell Line after Transduction with HIV-1-based Lentiviral Vector

【摘要】 <正>Objective:To establish a stable C6/EGFP glioma cell line for studies on glioma.Methods:The C6 glioma cell line was transfected with the human immunodeficiency virus typeⅠ(HIV-1)based lentivirus vector containing two enhancer-promoters CMV and EF1α.Enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP)-positive C6 cells were sorted out by fluorescence-activated cell sort.Expression of EGFP was observed by fluorescent microscopy.EGFP gene in C6 genome was assessed by Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and DNA sequencing.Original and transfected cells were compared biologically and cytomorphologically.Results:Lentivirus vector transfection produced up to 40% EGFP-positive cells.After fluorescence-activated cell sort selection,a pure cell line C6/EGFP was established.PCR and DNA sequencing revealed integration of EGFP gene in C6 cell genome.Analysis of cell characteristics revealed no difference between transfected and original cells.Conclusion:A C6/EGFP cell line expressing EGFP as a marker is established,in which the EGFP gene is integrated into the genome.This cell line can be served as a promising tool for further basic research and gene therapy studies.更多还原
