摘　　要：报道了不同品系小鼠胚胎干细胞 (ES细胞 )系MESPU13、B3和R1中存在的RNA干涉 (RNAi)现象。应用脂质体法 ,将转录绿色荧光蛋白 (GFP)基因双链RNA(dsRNA)的载体 (pdsGFP)转染GFP标记的ES细胞 ,dsRNA的瞬时表达可引起ES细胞中的RNAi效应 ,即质粒转录的GFP基因的dsRNA能够显著降低ES细胞内相应的外源GFP基因的表达 ;同时 ,用电穿孔转染法将线性化的pdsGFP puro导入ES细胞中 ,筛选后 ,在 3 0 %左右的抗性克隆中GFP表达量明显降低 ,少数细胞内的干涉效率达到RT PCR检测不到的程度。在此基础上 ,构建了可转录ES细胞特异标记基因OCT 4基因片断dsRNA的载体 ,经基因打靶和抗性筛选得到了稳定整合的ES细胞克隆 ,随机扩增了 5 1个克隆 ,并对其中的 48个阳性克隆进行了PCR半定量检测 ,结果显示 :在 11个ES细胞克隆中具有显著的RNAi效应 ,干涉效率达到RT PCR检测不到的程度。这一结果表明 。RNA interference phenomenon in three different murine ES cell lines (MESPU13, B3, and R1) is reported. A vector (pdsGFP) was used that transcribed hairpin double-stranded RNA of GFP gene to transfect ES cells by using lipofectin. The transient transcription of dsRNA induced RNAi (RNA interference) in the ES cells. That is, the double-stranded RNA of GFP gene potently turned down the expression of the GFP gene. On the hand, the linearized plasmid pdsGFP-puro was electroporated into MESPU13 ES cells, and the expression level of GFP after puromycin screening was turned down obviously in about 30% ES cell clones; and in a few clones, the expression level of GFP was not observed under the fluorescence microscope and GFP mRNA was not detectable by RT-PCR. Further more, another vector (pdsOCT4) was constructed that transcribed double-stranded RNA of OCT-4 gene which is specifically expressed in ES cells. ES cell clones that stably integrated the vector were screened after the electrotransfection of the cells with the above construct. 51 random-selected clones were amplified and 48 of them were checked by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. In 11 of them the mRNA of OCT-4 was undetectable by RT-PCR. This means that RNAi can be used to study mammal and human gene’s function in ES cell lines from diffe- rent strain mice.
