【摘要】Objective:To construct the retroviral vector pLEGFP-N1-telomerase reverse transcriptase(TERT) and to investigate the expression ofTERT in neonatal mouse hypodermal cells.Methods:The polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-amplifiedTERT gene was inserted into plasmid pLEGFP-N1.The positive clone was identified by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing, then was transfected into packaging cells to produce retrovirus particles.Neonatal mouse hypodermal cells were infected with the virus to generate a stable cell line.TheTERT mRNA expression level, telomerase activity, and enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) expression level were analyzed.Results:Retroviral vector pLEGFP-N1-TERT was constructed successfully, and a stable cell line of neonatal
mouse
hypodermal
cells
expressingEGFP
was
established.Western blot and immunohistochemical assay showed that the expression level ofTERT was significantly elevated in the neonatal mouse hypodermal cells.Conclusions:A high titer of retrovirus pLEGFP-N1-TERT mediates high-level expression of the exogenousTERT gene in
