Abstract:
Objective To investigate the biological functions of HBeAg-binding protein 1(HBEBP1), suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) technique was used to screen genes regulated by HBEBP1. Methods HBEBP1(GenBank number:AF529372) was screened and identified by yeast two-hybrid system 3 and co-immunoprecipitation technique. The HBEBP1 coding DNA fragment was amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique from HepG2 cell genome. The expressive vector of pcDNA3.1(-)-HBEBP1 was constructed by routine molecular biological methods. The HepG2 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1(-) and pcDNA3.1(-)-HBEBP1, respectively by using FuGENE6 transfection reagent, then the mRNA was isolated. SSH method was employed to analyze the differentially expressed DNA sequences between the two groups. After restriction enzyme Rsa I digestion, small sized cDNAs were obtained. Then tester cDNAs were divided into two groups and ligated to the specific adaptor 1 and adaptor 2, respectively. After tester cDNAs were hybridized with driver cDNAs twice and underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) twice, they were then subcloned into pGEM-Teasy plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E. coli strain DH5?. The cDNAs were sequenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after PCR. Results The subtractive library of genes up-regulated by HBEBP1 was constructed successfully. The amplified library contained 85 positive clones. Colony PCR showed that these clones contained 200-1 000bp inserts. Sequence analysis was performed in 26 clones at random, and the full length sequences were obtained with bioinformatics method. Altogether 15 coding sequences were obtained. Conclusions The obtained sequences may be target genes up-regulated by HBEBP1, among which some genes coding proteins were involved in cell cycle regulation, metabolism, immunity and cell apoptosis. This finding brought some new clues for the study of the biological functions of HBEBP1 and HBeAg.
