Objective:
To explore the down-expression mechanism of MYETS1 gene in multiple myeloma cell lines ARH-77 or KM3, and express MYETS1 gene in prokaryotic express system.
Methods:
The region of chromosome 13q14.3 in ARH-77 and KM3 was detected by FISH. MYETS1 gene was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T.
Results:
Positive consequence was acquired in 13q14.3 where MYETS1 located by FISH in ARH- 77 and KM3 cell lines. Bioinformatics indicated highly sequence homology between MYETS1 and LECT1, but excluded the homology of open reading frame between MYETS1 and that of LECT1 by RT-PCR. Myets1 protein was expressed and harvested successfully.
Conclusion:
The region of chromosome 13q14.3 ,where MYETS1 gene located, was not defected in ARH-77 and KM3 cell lines. Down-expression of MYETS1 might be regulated by other mechanisms in multiple myeloma cell lines.
