目的:探讨膜结合型干细胞因子(membranebound stem cell factor,mSCF)在白血病细胞中的作用。方法:克隆并构建携可溶型干细胞因子(soluble stem cell factor,sSCF)前体的真核表达质粒pTARGETs,采用Overlap PCR法去除外显子6序列,进一步构建mSCF的表达质粒pTARGETm,DNA测序鉴定。通过脂质体介导分别将上述载体和空载体pTARGET转染白血病K562细胞,用G418筛选稳定表达细胞株,并用RTPCR、Western blotting法鉴定。通过CCK8细胞增殖实验以及集落形成实验观察不同细胞株体外增殖特点。结果:成功构建了sSCF和mSCF的真核表达载体,获得了稳定转染细胞株K562V、K562S、K562M。U底培养条件下,K562M增殖能力明显高于K562V和K562S(均P<0.01)。K562M集落形成率显著高于K562V 和K562S (均P<0.01),且集落形态大于其他两种细胞。结论: mSCF与Ckit之间的并置性作用显著促进白血病细胞的增殖。

[Abstract]
Objective: To explore the role of membranebound stem cell factor (mSCF) in the pathogenesis of leukemia. Methods: The eukaryotic expression plasmid of soluble stem cell factor(sSCF)precursor (pTARGETs) was constructed. Overlap PCR was used to obtain mSCF sequence with the deletion of exon 6, and pTARGETm was constructed. After verified by DNA sequencing, pTARGETm and control pTARGET vector were transfected into K562 cells via Lipofetamine 2000, and the positive cells were screened by G418. K562 cells stably transfected with pTARGETm were verified by RTPCR and Western blotting. Proliferation and colonyformation of these stably transfected cells were studied. Results: The sSCF and mSCF eukaryotic expression vectors were successfully constructed. The stable transfectants K562V, K562S, and K562M were obtained. Under Ubottom culture condition, proliferation ability of K562M cells was significantly stronger than those of K562V or K562S (both P<0.01). Colonyformation ability of K562M was significantly higher than those of K562V and K562S (both P<0.01). Furthermore, the colony size of K562M was larger than those of the other two kinds of cells. Conclusion: mSCF significantly enhances proliferation and colonyformation of leukemia cells by a juxtacrine mechanism.
