Abstract

Objective: To construct the eukaryotic expression vector of LYRM1 and to transfect it to preadipocytes cell line 3T3-L1.

Methods: The complete coding sequence of LYRM1 gene was amplified by RT-PCR from human omental adipose tissue and was subcloned into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA(TM)3.1/myc-His B. The recombinant plasmid was then transfected into 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by liposome. After screening culture by G418, stable transfected 3T3-L1 cell line was established. The expression of LYRM1 protein was identified by Western blot.

Result: The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by PCR, restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing. The stable transfected 3T3-L1 cell line was established and the LYRM1 protein was expressed successfully.

Conclusion: The eukaryotic expression vector of LYRM1 has been successfully established and the stably transfected 3T3-L1 cell line also established.
