Objective To construct tumor specific tubercle bacillus antigen Ag85A gene lentiviral vector driven by murine telomerase catalytic subunit promoter (PmTERT), paving the way for further research in tumor targeting immuno-gene therapy. Methods PmTERT was amplified by PCR method, with murine genomic DNA as template. Then, transcriptional activities of PmTERT in various murine and human cell strains were studied by luciferase assay. Ag85A expression lentiviral vectors driven by cytomegalo virus (CMV) promoter and PmTERT respectively (pLVX-Ag85ACMV and pLVX-Ag85A-PmTERT) were constructed with nucleic acid cloning approach. And above recombinants were verified with DNA sequencing and Western blot. Results Lucifease assay revealed that 331 bp PmTERT cloned in present research had transcriptional activity in murine Lewis lung cancer cells, human lung adenocarcinoma cells A549, and human esophageal cancer cells EC-109, while no transcriptional activity in murine fibroblasts NIH3T3 and human embryo fibroblasts MRC-5. Western blot revealed expression of Ag85A in pLVX-Ag85A-CMV transfected Lewis and NIH3T3 cells, pLVX-Ag85A-PmTERT transfected Lewis cells, no expression in pLVX-Ag85A-PmTERT transfected NIH3T3 cells. Conclusion PmTERT has tumor specific transcriptional activity. Ag85A gene can express selectively in tumor cells, driven by PmTERT.
