Abstract
AIM: To express the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector containing human endostatin gene in human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells, and construct a cell line continuously secreting human endostatin (hES).
METHODS: Human endostatin cDNA containing interleukin-2 (IL-2) secreting peptide was cloned into eukaryotic expression plasmid pSNA2 to construct the recombinant plasmid pSNA2/endostatin. The plasmid pSNA2/endostatin was transfected into HEK293 cells by cationic liposome. The positive cell clones were selected by G418 and then named hE/293 cells. The expression of endostatin protein was analyzed by Western blot. The release of biologically active endostatin was confirmed using assays of ECV304 proliferation and the angiogenesis experiment of chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM).
RESULTS: Enzyme digestion and sequence analysis confirmed that the eukaryotic expression vector pSNA2/endostatin had been successfully constructed. After G418 selection, 3 strains of cells stably expressing hES were obtained, named as hE/293 cells. Western blot showed that ES protein with a molecular weight of 20 kDa existed in the supernatant of hE/293 cells. No endostatin expression was found in the control cells. The assays of ECV304 proliferation showed that the supernatant of hE/293 cells inhibited ECV304 cell proliferation induced by basic fibroblast growth factor in comparison with that of HEK29 cells (48 h: 0.125 ± 0.007 vs 0.159 ± 0.020, P < 0.01; 72 h: 0.088 ± 0.016 vs 0.249 ± 0.070, P < 0.01). There were fewer blood vessels in the CAM treated with ES protein.
CONCLUSION: Target cell line hE/293 is successfully constructed which it can stably secret hES protein, inhibit the ECV304 cell proliferation and CAM angiogenesis.
