Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Excessive apoptosis of ovary granulosa cell is a dominant cause of premature ovarian failure and bcl-2 gene is able to inhibit cell apoptosis. But studies demonstrate that,the guanine and cytosine (GC) content reaches 60% in the rat bcl-2 gene sequence. This gene cannot be amplified using routine polymerase chain reaction method. OBJECTIVE: To clone and identify the bcl-2 gene riched GC. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Open experiment was finished in the Laboratory of Medicine and Molecular Biology,Life Science School of Sun Yat-sen University from May to December in 2007. MATERIALS: Wistar rats were purchased from Experimental Animal Center of Sun Yat-sen University. Ecoli DH5?was preserved by Laboratory of Medicine and Molecular Biology,Life Science School of Sun Yat-sen University; pMD18-T vector was purchased from Takara Biotechnology (Dalian) Co.,Ltd. METHODS: The bcl-2-cDNA,in which GC accounted for 60.6%,was obtained by modified reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction from kidney tissue of Wistar rats,and was cloned into vector-pMD18-T. Characterizations and sequencing of the pMD18-T-bcl-2 were carried out by polymerase chain reaction screening of individual bacterial colonies. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cloning and purification of bcl-2 gene cDNA; results after connecting bcl-2 gene cDNA to pMD18-T vector and transducting Ecoli DH5?,identification of positive clone and results of sequencing. RESULTS: The bcl-2 gene was identified by the clone and DNA sequencing. DNA sequence analysis was consistent with Genebank sequence,with a 99% homology. CONCLUSION: The gene riched GC is difficult to be amplified,bcl-2-cDNA can be cloned and constructed into cloning vector pMD18-T successfully by the efficient technique for other genes riched GC.
