Placing the RPL32 Promoter Upstream of a Second Promoter Results in a Strongly Increased Number of Stably Transfected Mammalian Cell Lines That Display High Protein Expression Levels

چکیده
The use of high stringency selection systems commonly results in a strongly diminished number of stably transfected mammalian cell lines. Here we placed twelve different promoters upstream of an adjacent primary promoter and tested whether this might result in an increased number of colonies; this is in the context of a stringent selection system. We found that only the promoter of the human ribosomal protein, RPL32, induced a high number of colonies in CHO-DG44 cells. This phenomenon was observed when the RPL32 promoter was combined with the CMV, SV40, EF1-α, and the β-actin promoters. In addition, these colonies displayed high protein expression levels. The RPL32 promoter had to be functionally intact, since the deletion of a small region upstream of the transcription start site demolished its positive action. We conclude that adding the RPL32 promoter to an expression cassette in cis may be a powerful tool to augment gene expression levels.

Background and Objectives: Significant progress has been made in treatment of hemophilia. Ex-vivo gene therapy is going popular due to the capability of this method in using isogenic cells for genetic manipulation and reintroducing them into same host after proliferation. Most gene therapy techniques use viral vectors, which usually harbor a strong and non-specific promoter (e...

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common human malignancy and the second reason for cancer morbidity worldwide. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) has recently emerged as a promoter of metastasis in various cancer types, including GC, through the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. However, the exact mechanism of HOTAIR in promoting E...
