针对HLA-G的siRNA的载体构建与表达及效应检测

目的构建针对HLA-G的siRNA的表达载体,研究其对NK细胞杀伤效应的影响。方法构建针对HLA-G的siRNA真核表达质粒pSuppressor-U6-neo-HLA-G,转染JEG-3滋养细胞系。采用RT-PCR、Western blot检测转染的JEG-3细胞中HLA-G的表达水平。将NK-92MI细胞(效应细胞)与滋养细胞(靶细胞)共同培养,以LDH释放法观察不同效靶比例时NK-92MI细胞对靶细胞的杀伤效应。结果NK-92MI细胞对转染针对HLA-G的siRNA的JEG-3细胞的杀伤作用较未转染细胞明显升高(P<0.001)。结论针对HLA-G的SiRNA增加NK细胞对滋养细胞的杀伤,HLA-G具有保护滋养细胞免受NK细胞杀伤的作用。

Construction of eukaryotic expression plasmid expressing siRNA targeting HLA-G gene and detection of its specific downregulation effect

AIM: To investigate the effect of HLA-G siRNA on the protection of trophoblast cells from NK cell lysis, an HLA-G-targeting siRNA (small interfering)-expressing plasmid was constructed. METHODS: HLA-G siRNA plasmid, pSuppressor-U6-neo-HLA-G, was constructed and transfected to JEG-3 cells. The level of messenger RNA and protein of HLA-G in the transfected cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. NK-92MI cells were co-cultured with pSuppressor-U6-neo-HLA-G transfected JEG-3 cells. The cytotoxicity of NK-92MI cells against the transfected cells was analyzed by LDH releasing assay. RESULTS: Donwregulation of HLA-G in HLA-G siRNA plasmid transfected JEG-3 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot. Compared with JEG-3 cells without HLA-G without HLA-G siRNA plasmid transfection, the transfected JEG-3 cells showed higher lytic activity. CONCLUSION: HLA-G siRNA can increasing NK cytolysis against JEG-3 cells. HLA-G plays a role in preventing of trophoblast cells from NK cytotoxicity.
