Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of a new cloned full length gene, C2 gene, which encodes human eukaryotic translation initiation factor, on tumorigenesis of human gastric cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. Methods A constructed eukaryotic vector carrying the full length of C2 gene was amplified, purified, and transfected into a gastric cell line SGC7901 cell. The expression of C2 protein was examined with fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and Western Blot. The effect of C2 gene on tumorigenesis of human gastric cancer cells was investigated in vitro and in vivo with methods of clone formation in plate and oncogenesis in nude mouse. Results FACS and Western Blot showed that C2 protein was expressed highly and stably in transfected cells. The average clone formation rate of C2 gene transducted cells is 43.8%, the rate which is lower than that of vector transducted cells (76.9%). In vivo, the time of tumorigenesis of C2 gene transducted cells in nude mouse is prolonged from 1 week to 2 weeks, and the volume of tumor node is smaller than that of vector transducted cells, that is, 1.20 and 5.58 cm 3 respectively ( P
