[Construction of a lentiviral RNA interference system targeting heparanase based on miR30 and its silencing effect].

To construct a lentiviral RNA interference system targeting heparanase (HPSE) based on miR30 and to test its silencing effect.Three heparanase-shRNA structures were designed based miR30. The targeting fragments were obtained by PCR, then inserted into the vector LV PP-GFP to construct the recombinant lentiviral vector LV PP-GFP/miR-HPSE-shRNA, which was identified by PCR and sequencing. The 293T cells were co-transfect with LV PP-GFP/miR-HPSE-shRNA, pHelper 1.0 vector and pHelper 2.0 vector to produce lentiviruses, with which A375 cells were infected. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were performed to evaluate the expression of heparanase RNA and protein.The lentiviral miR30-based RNAi vector targeting heparanase was constructed and confirmed by PCR and sequencing. The results of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot showed that the expression levels of both heparanase mRNA and protein in infected A375 cells were decreased significantly than those in control group.The lentiviral miR30-based RNAi vector targeting heparanase was been constructed successfully, which can be used for further study on RNAi-mediated oncolytic viruses.
