Objective: To construct the eurokaryotic expression vector of KCNE1 gene and express recombinant KCNE1 in HEK293 cells.Methods:Human KCNE1 gene fragment was amplified from human placenta total RNA by RT-PCR and cloned into the vector of pCR2.1 TOPO by means of T-A cloning.KCNE1 cDNA was obtained from pCR2.1-KCNE1 by restriction enzyme digestion and inserted into the same restriction site of pEGFP-N1.Thus pEGFP-N1-KCNE1 was constructed and transfected into HEK293 cells with Effectene transfection reagent.Results:The eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1-KCNE1 was successfully constructed by gene cloning and recombinant method and expressed in HEK293 cells.Conclusion:The cloning of KCNE1 gene and the construction and expression of its eukaryotic expression vector may shed some light on further functional study of KCNE1 gene.

Smart wearable devices play an increasingly important role in physiological monitoring and disease prevention because they are portable, real-time, dynamic and continuous.The popularization of smart wearable devices among people under high-altitude environment would be beneficial for the prevention for heart and brain diseases related to high altitude. The current review comprehensively elucidates the effects of high-altitude environment on the heart and brain of different population and experimental subjects, the characteristics and applications of different types of wearable devices, and the limitations and challenges for their application. By emphasizing their application values, this review provides practical reference information for the prevention of high-altitude disease and the protection of life and health.
