Construction and Identification of Eukaryotic Expression Vector of Human Nuclear Respiratory Factor 2

Objective： To construct eukaryotic expression vectors with FLAG epitope highly expressed human NRF2-α and NRF2-β gene, and detect the expression levels of NRF2 in transient transfected human BEL-7402 cells. Methods： RT-PCR technique was used to amplify the eDNA of NRF2-α and NRF2-β gene from total RNA isolated from BEL-7402 cells. After nucleotide sequencing, the open reading frames （ORF） of NRF2-α and NRF2-β cDNA was respectively cloned into eukaryotic expression vector p3XFLAG-CMVTM-14 to form the recombinant plasmid named as p3XFLAG- NRF2-α and p3XFLAG- NRF2-β. Lipofectamine 2000 was used to transient transfect eukaryotic expression vectors into BEL-7402 ceils. Finally, semi-quantity RT-PCR and western blot were applied to detect mRNA and protein expression levels of human NRF2-α and NRF2-β in BEL-7402 cells. Results： We successfully constructed the eukaryotic expression vectors of NRF2-α and NRF2-β. The results of restriction enzyme digestion and nucleotide sequencing confirmed that the recombinant plasmid was correct. By western blotting, we found that the human NRF2-α and NRF2-β proteins were expressed in BEL-7402 cells. Conclusion： The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector of human NRF2-α and NRF2-β were successfully established, which laid foundation for further study of NRF2 gene and its function.
