Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo construct the yeast two-hybrid system, and screen the proteins which interact with FasL, and investigate the relationship of FasL and hepatic metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.
METHODSWe have cloned the FasL gene into the pGBKT7 vector as the bait, then screened the fetal liver cDNA library, and have got a series of specific proteins that interact with FasL protein. Using the bioinformatics, we analyzed the interacting proteins in the mechanism of hepatic metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.
RESULTSWe have screened several proteins that interaction with FasL protein, including metallothionein 1K, 1G, 2A, cathepsin B, fatty acid synthase, interferon alpha-inducible protein 27, phospholipid scramblase, Ser/Thr-like kinase, anchor attachment protein, fibulin-5.
CONCLUSIONSWe have successfully constructed the yeast two-hybrid system, and preliminary identified that the interaction between FasL, metallothionein, cathepsin and anchor attachment protein is radically related to the hepatic metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.
