Abstract:
Objective To establish a stable AR42J cell line expressing EGFP LC3.Methods The EGFP LC3 overexpressed Lentivirus was constructed and transfected into pancreatic acinar cells (AR42J) of rats.The rats with Lentiviral EGFP transfection were treated as negative control.The transfection efficiency was detected by inverted fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry.The EGFP LC3 protein expression in the stable cell lines were analyzed by Western blot.The cells were treated with thapsigargin to establish endoplasmic reticulum stress model,and the LC3,PERK protein expressions were detected by Western blot.Results The transfection efficiency of Lentiviral EGFP LC3 of AR42J cell was ＞ 85％,which could achieve stable passage.The expression of LC3 mRNA of AR42J cells transfected with Lentiviral EGFP LC3 was 9.14 ±0.32 folds higher than that of negative control,which had no expression of LC3 protein,only EGFP expression.However,compared with non-transfection group,the LC3 mRNA expression in EGFP group was not significantly different.Conclusions A pancreatic acinar cell line (AR42J) of rat stably expressing EGFP LC3 protein is successfully constructed.And it may provide a new model for further research of the relationship between acute pancreatitis and autophagy.
