ObjectiveTo study the interaction between RI and ANG, further the effect and themechanism on the growth on bladder cancer cells.Methods1. With pCMV-3×flag-ANG as a template, PCR amplified mutantobtained ANG pCMV-3×flag-ANGH37A. With pcDNA3.1-RI as a template,PCR amplified RI coding sequence, cloned into pGEX-4T-1prokaryoticexpression vector, prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-RI. Then wereto pCMV-3×flag-ANG, pCMV-3×flag-ANGH37Aand pcDNA3.1-RI as atemplate, PCR amplification of the coding region sequence methodeukaryotic expression plasmid pEYFP-ANG, pEYFP-ANGH37Aand pECFP-RI.2. RI and ANG or its mutants conducted in HEK293cells and T24cells with co-immunoprecipitation experiments and fluorescence resonanceenergy transfer experiments. The studies showed RI can interact with ANGor its mutants in cells. In vitro studies, GST pull-down showed RI might interact with ANG or its mutants in vitro. Likewise, RI co-localized withANG and its mutants in T24cells by immunofluorescence experiments.3. The pCMV-3×flag-ANG and pCMV-3×flag-ANGH37AtransfectedT24cells detect effects on T24cells and the signaling pathway proteins forPI3K/AKT/mTOR impact.4. Xenograft model to builded, test for tumor growth and angiogenesis,for the impact of ANG protein and its mutants.Results1. A recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pCMV-3×flag-ANGH37A,pEYFP-ANG, pEYFP-ANGH37Aand pECFP-RI constructedcorrectly. Prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-RI constructed correctly.2. In vivo and in vitro, RI and its mutants are present ANGinteraction.3. After passing pCMV-3×flag-ANG and pCMV-3×flag-ANGH37Atransfected T24cells, which promote the growth of T24throughPI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.4. In animal models, ANG protein and its mutants to promote thegrowth of tumors and increased neovascularization.ConclusionThe eukaryotic expression plasmid pCMV-3×flag-ANGH37A,pEYFP-ANG, pEYFP-ANGH37A, pECFP-RI and prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-RI. RI and ANG or its mutant were proved the presence ofprotein interactions. RI could interact with ANG or its mutants, thusaffecting the growth of bladder cancer T24in PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalpathway. |
