OBJECTIVE To construct recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying Rheb gene and its mutant Rheb'D60K gene, and examine their expression in human liver cancer cells. METHODS Rheb gene was amplified by PCR to construct the recombinant plasmid LV31-Rheb-WT and LV31-Rheb-D60K. HEK-293 FT cells were contransfected with the recombinant lentiviral vector together with a lentiviral package plasmid to produce the lentiviral particles. The expression of PS6 protein was detected in the lentivirus-infected MCF-7 cells. The apoptosis of SK-HEP-1 cells transfected with LV31-Rheb-WT or LV31-Rheb-D60K was observed. RESULTS The recombinant LV31-Rheb-WT and LV31-Rheb-D60K vectors were confirmed by PCR and DNA sequencing. Western blotting showed that PS6 protein expression was increased in LV31-Rheb-WT-transfected cells while decreased in LV31-Rheb-D60K-transfected cells. LV31-Rheb-D60K-transfected SK-HEP-1 cells showed more obvious apoptosis after starvation than LV31-Rheb-WT-transfected cells. CONCLUSIONS Lentiviral vectors carrying Rheb gene and its mutant has been successfully constructed, which can be useful in further investigation of the role of Rheb gene in cancer cells.

D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
D016086 Lentivirus A genus of the family RETROVIRIDAE consisting of non-oncogenic retroviruses that produce multi-organ diseases characterized by long incubation periods and persistent infection. Lentiviruses are unique in that they contain open reading frames (ORFs) between the pol and env genes and in the 3' env region. Five serogroups are recognized, reflecting the mammalian hosts with which they are associated. HIV-1 is the type species. Lentivirinae,Lentiviruses
D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
