Abstract:
Objective Studies show that the role of EphB 4 in the development and progression of cancer is correlated to its ligand EphrinB2.The present study was to observe the effect of the changes in EphB4 on the expression of EphrinB2 by constructing and identifying microRNA ( miRNA) interference vectors targeting the EphB4 gene in colon cancer cells . Mte hods According to the EphB4 gene sequence , 3 pairs of oligo DNA sequences of miRNA were designed .The single strand of oligo DNA was annealed to form double-strand DNA, and then connected with the plasmid pcDNA 6.2-GW/EmGFP-miRNA.The expression vector pcDNA6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR-EphB4 was linked to pDONR221 and pLenti6/V5-DEST to construct the lentiviral expression vector pLenti 6/V5-DEST-EphB4, which was cotransfected with packaging mix (pLP1, pLP2 and pLP/VSVG) into 293FT cells by lipofectamine 2000 transfec-tion to produce lentivirus , and the lentivirus titer was measured by infection of HEK 293 cells.The stable cell lines were selected and cultured.The expression levels of EphB4 and EphrinB2 were examined by qPCR. Results Three miRNA interference vectors SR-1, SR-2, and SR-3 targeting the EphB4 gene were successfully constructed , with SR-3 exhibiting the most significant interference efficien-cy.The constructed lentiviral vector pLenti 6/V5-DEST-EphB4 was successfully packaged in 293FT cells.The virus titer was 7 ×108 Caco-2 cells. Conclusion The exogenous EphB4 expression could be significantly inhibited by treatment with specific miRNA in co-lon cancer cells .The correlation of EphB4 and EphrinB2 may be effected by many factors and need further studies .
