摘要
目的:构建针对核受体结合SET结构域蛋白2(nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2,NSD2)的短发夹干扰RNA(short hairpin RNA,shRNA)慢病毒干扰载体,建立稳定干扰NSD2基因的MDA-MB-231三阴乳腺癌细胞株。方法:构建2条针对人源NSD2基因的shRNA(shNSD2-1#和shNSD2-2#),连接到慢病毒载体(pGLV10/U6/RFP/Puro)并进行测序鉴定。将NSD2 shRNA慢病毒载体与包装质粒共转染到293T细胞,慢病毒包装后进行滴度检测。将包装好的慢病毒转染至三阴乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞中,嘌呤霉素筛选建立稳定转染NSD2 shRNA的细胞株。采用real-time PCR检测NSD2 mRNA的表达变化,蛋白质印迹法检测NSD2及其特异性催化的组蛋白甲基化标志物H3K36me2蛋白水平的表达变化。结果:成功构建两个NSD2 shRNA慢病毒干扰载体;与阴性对照组相比,shNSD2-1#组和shNSD2-2#组MDA-MB-231细胞中NSD2 mRNA和蛋白水平均显著下调,NSD2催化的H3K36me2蛋白表达也随之下调。结论:本研究成功建立了shRNA慢病毒载体介导的稳定敲低NSD2的MDA-MB-231细胞株,证实干扰NSD2基因表达能有效抑制其对组蛋白H3K36的甲基化作用,为进一步研究NSD2在乳腺癌中的作用机制奠定了基础。

Abstract
Objective: To construct two shRNA lentiviral vectors targeting NSD2 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2) gene and establish a triple-negative breast cancer cell line with stable knockdown of NSD2. Methods: Two shRNA sequences targeting NSD2 gene (shNSD2-1# and shNSD2-2#) were designed, synthesized and cloned into a lentiviral vector (pGLV10/U6/RFP/Puro). Positive clones confirmed by DNA sequencing. Subsequently, NSD2 shRNA lentiviral vector and packing plasmids were co-transfected into 293T cells. The titer of virus was detected according to the expression of red fluorescence protein (RFP). MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with the packaged lentiviral vector, and the stable cell lines with NSD2 knockdown were obtained after puromycin-resistance screening. The mRNA level of NSD2 was detected by real-time PCR. Western blot was performed to detect the protein level of NSD2 and its downstream target, H3K36me2. Results: Two specific lentiviral RNAi vector targeting NSD2 gene were successfully constructed. Compared to the negative group, the mRNA and protein levels of NSD2 were significantly reduced in shNSD2-1# group and shNSD2-2# group. NSD2-catalyzed H3K36me2 was also downregulated. Conclusion: The MDA-MB-231 cell line with stable knockdown of NSD2 is constructed successfully. The knockdown of NSD2 efficiently suppressed its function of methylating H3K36, providing a foundation for further studying the role and mechanism of NSD2 in breast cancer.
