Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Whether estrogen receptor beta (ER-β) participates to mediate proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells is unclear.
OBJECTIVE:
To construct and identify a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) suppressing estrogen receptor beta gene.
METHODS:
Genome sequences of ER-β gene was retrieved from Genbank and cDNA was designed coding expression of small hairpin RNAs (shRNA) for ER-β gene. It was cloned into the expression vector pSilencer 3.1-H1 into a short hairpin RNA with BamH I, Hin dIII sticky end, terminated cognition sequence and a loop structure, followed by being cloned in pRNAT-U6.1/Neo to construct a expression vector of ER-β-specific siRNA. At last the vector was evaluated by enzyme cutting and gene sequencing test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:
The recombinant plasmid of RNA interference specific for ER-β identified by the restriction map completely coincided with the designs. The siRNA eukaryotic expression vector against ER-β mRNA has been successfully constructed.
