Abstract: It was to facilitate inhibitor screening of endothelin receptor, cloning of human endothelin receptor gene ETA, construction of eukaryotic expression vectors and transient expression of pTag-Lite SNAP-ETA in CHO-K1 cells. Method Human ETA gene fragment were amplified from human lung cancer cell line A549 via RT-PCR and inserted into pTag-Lite SNAP plasmid, the recombinant plasmids were then transiently transfected into CHO-K1 cells using FuGENE? HD, expression of ETA was observed via fluorescence microscope. Result Sequencing result showed pTag-Lite SNAP-ETA expression vector were correctly constructed. Fluorescence microscope images indicated that two vectors were expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
