摘要: 构建环指蛋白6(RNF6)真核表达载体,并探讨其对胰岛素受体底物1(IRS-2)表达的影响。以人cDNA为模板,PCR扩增RNF6 全长编码基因,并将其克隆至载体pcDNA3.1-CHA中,将重组质粒转染肝癌细胞株HepG2,利用Real time-PCR、Western blot检测细胞内IRS-2 mRNA水平及蛋白表达情况。携带RNF6目的基因的质粒转染HepG2细胞48 h后IRS-2的mRNA表达降低,为对照组的37%,显著低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P﹤0.01)。 RNF6引起IRS-2的表达下调,这一过程可能由于泛素化导致胰岛素信号转导通路障碍。

Abstract: It was to construct an eukaryotic expression vector of ring finger protein 6(RNF6)gene and investigate the effect of RNF6 on the expression of insulin receptor substrate-2(IRS-2). The coding sequence of hRNF6 gene was amplified by PCR with human cDNA as template. The pcDNA3.1-CHA-RNF6 was constructed and transfected into hepatocarcinoma cells(HepG2)by routine molecular biology technology. The total RNA was extracted from HepG2 cells 72 hours post-transfection, the expression levels of IRS-2 was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Western blotting was applied to detect the protein levels of IRS-2. Result showed that the mRNA level of IRS-2 gene in transfected HepG2 was 37% of the control. The expression level of IRS-2 was lower than the control group significantly (P﹤0.01). The expression of IRS-2 was down-regulated in HepG2 significantly, and the disorder in insulin signal transduction pathway, which may result from enhanced ubiquitylation level of IRS-2.
