摘要：

背景：心脏发育过程是复杂多种因子相互作用的结果，对转录因子Nkx2.5和GATA4在心脏发育过程中相互作用的研究将有助进一步了解心脏发育过程。
目的：分析心脏转录因子Nkx2.5和GATA4在细胞内的相互作用。
方法：在构建Nkx2.5和GATA4真核表达质粒以及脑钠肽启动子荧光表达质粒的基础上，将真核表达质粒经共转染或单转染COS7细胞，利用免疫共沉淀技术验证Nkx2.5和GATA4在细胞内是否有相互作用，并通过荧光素酶分析技术分析Nkx2.5和GATA4对脑钠肽启动子序列可能存在的协同激活作用。
结果与结论：通过免疫共沉淀实验发现GATA4能将Nkx2.5沉淀下来，相应的Nkx2.5也能将GATA4沉淀下来，说明在COS7细胞中，GATA4能和Nkx2.5相互作用。脑钠肽启动子荧光表达质粒并与Nkx2.5和GATA4共转染COS7细胞，比起单转染Nkx2.5或GATA4质粒，两者共转染更能激活脑钠肽启动子的表达。Nkx2.5和GATA4不仅各自在心脏发育过程中发挥重要作用，两者之间的相互协调作用对于心脏的正常发育过程同样非常重要。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Heart development results from the interaction among various factors. Research on the interaction of Nkx2.5 and GATA4 may help us to further understand the process of heart development.
OBJECTIVE: To research the interaction of cardiac transcription factor Nkx2.5 and GATA4 in vitro.
METHODS: On the basis of the construction of plasmids of pCMV-Myc-GATA4, pCMV-HA-Nkx2.5 and pTal-luc-BNP, plasmids were transfected into COS7 cells. The interaction of Nkx2.5 and GATA4 was identified by co-immunoprecipitation and luciferase analysis. The possible synergistic activation of Nkx2.5 and GATA4 on BNP promoter sequence was analyzed by luciferase. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed that Nkx2.5 and GATA4 could be precipitated by each other, demonstrating that Nkx2.5 and GATA4 could directly interact with each other in COS7 cells. The pTal-luc-BNP combined with Nkx2.5 and GATA4 were co-transfected into COS7 cells. Compared with single transfected with Nkx2.5 or GATA4 plasmid, co-transfected with Nkx2.5 and GATA4 displayed synergistic transcriptional activation of the BNP promoter. Nkx2.5 and GATA4 play important roles separately in the process of heart development, and the interactions of Nkx2.5 and GATA4 are also vital in normal heart development.
