[Co-expression of human bone morphogenetic protein-2 and osteoprotegerin in myoblast C2C12].
OBJECTIVE: To construct a co-expressing vector of human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) and to determine the expression of BMP-2 and OPG in myoblast C2C12.
METHODS: Using the isolated total RNA from osteosacoma cell line MG63 as a template, the cDNA encoding region of human OPG was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCT) method and cloned into sites EcoR 1 and BamH I of mammalian expressing vector pIRES2-EGFP, and the cDNA encoding region of human BMP-2 was cloned into endonucleases site BstX I. Then the recombinant plasmid pIRES2-BMP-2-OPG was transformed into C2C12 cell line, the expression of OPG and BMP-2 were determined by Western blot assay.
RESULTS: The sequence of OPG cDNA obtained was the same as that reported, recombinant plasmid pIRES2-BMP-2-OPG was constructed successfully. Human OPG and BMP-2 co-expression cell line C2C12 was selected and confirmed by Western blot analysis.
CONCLUSION: The co-expressing vector of OPG and BMP-2 is constructed and can expressed stably in myoblast C2C12. The co-expression of human OPG and BMP-2 may be logical approach for treatment of osteoporosis and bone metastasis.
