Establishment of Hela cell line inducibly expressing human active granzyme B

AIM: To construct inducible expression vector for human granzyme B gene and express it in Hela cell line. METHODS: Human active granzyme B gene was obtained by PCR and cloned into the inducible expression vector pIND. The resulting expression vector, together with a helper plasmid pVgRXR, was stably transfected into Hela cells using Lipofectamine 2000. The transfected cells were selected in medium containing G418 and zeocin. The resistant cells were induced with ponasterone A, and the optimal concentration of ponasterone A and time of induction were determined by immunocytochemical staining. Then the effects of the expressed granzyme protein on Hela cells were detected by MTT colorimetry and cytoskeletal staining. RESULTS: The Hela cells that inducibly expressed human active granzyme B were obtained. Induction with 30 micromol/L ponasterone A for 5 days caused the strongest expression of granzyme B.The induced cells appeared as either multinucleate giant cells or pyknotic small cells, and their growth was inhibited. Further analysis demonstrated cytoskeletal abnormality of multinucleate giant cells. CONCLUSION: The establishment of inducible expression system for active granzyme B lays the foundation for further research on biological function of granzyme B.
