TAT+apoptin

TAT-Apoptin is a fusion protein with the transduction domain of HIV-1 and apoptin. Since apoptin only functions inside the cells, the peptide TAT is added to direct the transfer of the apoptin into the cell. Once transferred into the tumor cells, apoptin can induce the apoptosis of them potently.

Characterization:

The part of BBa_K1932004 was synthesized and cloned in a pGH vector by Generay Biotechnology. The plasmid was cut by the restriction enzymes, EcoRⅠ and PstⅠ, and separated by 1% agarose gel(Fig.1).

The sequence of TAT-Apoptin was ligated into the vector pSB1C3 by T4 ligase at 16℃ overnight,and the ligated construct was transformed into the E.coli(Fig.2).

To ensure the insertion of the right-size sequence, the sequence of TAT-Apoptin was cut again and tested by agarose gel electrophoresis (Fig.3).

Once the size of this sequence was confirmed, the bacteria containing the construct were sent to the Comate Bioscience Company for DNA sequencing for further verification. The detailed protocols of these experiments were shown in table 1 and table 2.

Since this sequence encodes the protein that undertakes the function to kill cancer cells in vivo, special assays were done to validate its function.

The construct (containing the biobricks of BBa_K1932000, BBa_K1932001 and BBa_K1932004) was transfected into many kinds of cells to compare the toxicity in normal cells and cancer cells. The result of the transfection assay was shown in Figure 4 and it display robustly that this protein could kill cancer cells and do not affect normal cells significantly. MTT assay was done to validate the function of apoptin in inhibiting the cancer cells’ capacity of replication in vitro (Fig.5).

To investigate the characterization of TAT-apoptin further, wound scratch-healing assays were performed in MCF-7 cells and the results showed clearly that the ability of migration was also suppressed by the expression of apoptin in cancer cells (Fig.6).

All the assays demonstrated that the fused protein, TAT-apoptin, was an ideal drug to inhibit the growth, replication and migration of cancer cells in vitro, and the subsequent experiments were needed to examined the function of the TAT-apoptin protein in vivo.
