Description:
NRF2/ARE Responsive Luciferase Reporter NIH3T3 Stable Cell Line is derived from Mouse fibroblast, and stably express firefly luciferase reporter gene under the control of the NRF2/ARE response element. This cell line is an ideal cellular model for monitoring the activation of Antioxidant Response Pathway triggered by stimuli treatment, enforced gene expression and gene knockdown.Principle:
NRF2 plays a crucial role in cellular anti-oxidant defense, making it a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Under normal conditions, NRF2 localizes in the cytosol and is rapidly degraded by the proteasome. Under oxidative stress, NRF2 is stabilized and translocates to the nucleus where it binds to a DNA promoter and initiates gene expression. In the nucleus, NRF2 forms a heterodimer with a small Maf protein and binds to the Antioxidant Response Element in the upstream promoter region of many antioxidative genes, and initiates their transcription.
This NRF2 luciferase reporter stable cell line has been stably transfected with pTA-ARE-luciferase reporter vector, which contains 4 repeats of antioxidant response binding sites, a minimal promoter upstream of the firefly luciferase coding region, along with a hygromycin expression vector. Following selection, the hygromycin resistant clones were subsequently screened for TBHQ-induced luciferase activity. The clone with the highest fold induction was selected and expanded to produce this stable cell line.

Principle behind TF luciferase reporter. TF luciferase reporter stable cell line utilizes artificial promoter constructs to drive luciferase expression. The promoter region can consists of multiple repeats of a cis-element TF binding site, a DNA fragment from the promoter region of a known TF downstream gene, or a DNA fragment containing putative/known TF binding sites. There are several ways that a TF can be activated, such as through extracellular stimuli or through intracellular signaling pathways. Once activated, the TF translocates to the nucleus and often interacts with relevant co-factors to drive gene expression. Once luciferase is expressed, it can generate light in an enzymatic assay and the amount of light measured is positively correlated with the level of TF activation. |
Data:
Analysis of the NRF2 Pathway Reporter NIH3T3 Stable Cell Line in response to stimuli. The cells were seeded on a 96-well plate for 8 hours or overnight with DMEM including 10% FBS. The cells then were treated with or without 10μM TBHQ or 10μM 4HNE respectively in DMEM and 0.1% FBS for 16 hours.

由于质粒的不兼容性,拥有同种复制子的质粒不能在同一细胞内稳定共存,经过几代的复制,会质粒丢失,所以并不是任何两个或两个以上质粒都可以在同一细胞内稳定存在,但是可以同时进入.
稳定转染的细胞株，就是转染后质粒可以稳定整合到基因组上不会因细胞分裂而丢失。区别于质粒瞬时转染不能长时间保留质粒在细胞里。
推荐了解“主细胞库”“工作细胞库”这两个名词。
先提取RNA,反转录成cDNA,然后根据目的基因设计PCR引物,通过半定量RT-PCR确定目的基因表达.
正因为检测的是mRNA,所以要先反转录成cDNA才能PCR.
1.将外源基因插入慢病毒载体
2.将构建完成的载体与慢病毒包装质粒混合，共转染靶细胞
3.收集病毒液
4.用病毒液感染靶细胞
5.用载体上带的抗生素进行筛选，如果没有，可以用无限稀释法
6.获得稳转株
