摘要:

文题释义:
Atg5:自噬是真核生物细胞内降解大部分细胞浆内容物的一种生物学现象。自噬是一个受到严格调控的过程,其中关键的调控分子是自噬相关基因(Autophagy-Related Gene,Atg),目前至少已经鉴定出41个Atg基因。Atg5启动了自噬体膜的形成和自噬体与溶酶体的融合,敲低或者敲除Atg5基因会导致细胞自噬的下调或抑制,是自噬基因编辑以及检测中最常见的靶基因之一。
慢病毒载体:作为介导RNA干扰基因表达的新型载体,具有一系列的优点。最常用的慢病毒载体是来源于人类免疫缺陷1型病毒(HIV-1),具有广泛感染、有效感染分裂期和静止期细胞,在宿主染色质中插入大的遗传片段,并长期维持稳定转基因表达等优点,因此成为导入外源基因的有力工具。

背景:巨噬细胞自噬在调节免疫系统和炎症反应中起到关键作用,而敲低Atg5基因可以特异性抑制细胞自噬的发生。由于传统siRNA转染方法存在瞬时性和不彻底性等问题,构建稳定敲低Atg5基因的RAW 264.7巨噬细胞系对于研究自噬和免疫炎症相关疾病及其发生机制有重要的价值和意义。
目的:利用慢病毒感染的方法构建稳定敲低Atg5基因的RAW 264.7巨噬细胞系,为研究巨噬细胞自噬和免疫炎症相关疾病及其发生机制提供底盘细胞。
方法:构建带有绿色荧光信号、Puro抗性基因和敲低Atg5基因的重组表达载体(HBLV-m-Atg5-shRNA-GFP-Puro)转染293T细胞得到慢病毒质粒系统,采用获取的慢病毒感染RAW 264.7细胞,在倒置荧光显微镜下观察病毒感染细胞的绿色荧光信号,嘌呤霉素抗性筛选,流式细胞分选得到高纯度的感染细胞,采用RT-qPCR和Western blot验证Atg5基因的敲低效率。
结果与结论:DNA测序结果表明Atg5基因干扰序列均正确插入表达载体,HBLV-m-Atg5-shRNA-GFP-Puro表达载体构建成功。慢病毒质粒感染RAW 264.7细胞系后,在倒置荧光显微镜下观察可见绿色荧光,流式细胞分选仪可见绿色荧光蛋白阳性细胞群。RT-qPCR和Western blot检测结果表明筛选出的RAW 264.7细胞系中Atg5基因表达水平显著下降(P < 0.05),表明稳定敲低Atg5基因的RAW 264.7细胞系构建成功。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The autophagy of macrophage cells plays a key role in regulating the immune system and inflammatory response, while knockdown Atg5 gene can specifically inhibit the autophagy. There are some shortcomings of traditional siRNA transfection methods such as transience and incompleteness. It is of great value and significance to construct a stable Atg5 gene knockdown cell line in RAW 264.7 cells for studying the macrophage autophagy and immune inflammation-related diseases and their pathogenesis. 
OBJECTIVE: To construct RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line stably knocking down the Atg5 gene by lentivirus infection, and to provide chassis cells for studying macrophage autophagy and immune inflammation-related diseases and their pathogenesis.
METHODS: Recombinant expression vector (HBLV-m-Atg5-shRNA-GFP-Puro) with green fluorescence signal, Puro resistance gene, and knockdown Atg5 gene was constructed and transfected into 293T cells to obtain lentivirus plasmid system. The green fluorescence signal of the acquired lentivirus infected RAW 264.7 cells was observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope. Purinomycin resistance screening and flow cytometry were used to obtain high-purity infected cells. The RAW 264.7 cell line stably knocking down the Atg5 gene was identified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot assay. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: DNA sequencing results showed that Atg5 gene interfering sequences were correctly inserted into the expression vector, and the HBLV-m-Atg5-shRNA-GFP-Puro expression vector was successfully constructed. After infecting RAW 264.7 cell line with lentivirus plasmid, green fluorescence was observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope. Green fluorescent protein positive cell groups were observed by flow cytometry. The results of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot assay showed that the expression level of the Atg5 gene in RAW 264.7 cell line was significantly decreased (P < 0.05), indicating that the RAW 264.7 cell line with stable knockdown of Atg5 gene was successfully constructed.
