ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND More and more research indicate that the immediately early response gene 3 (IER3) is involved in many biological processes, such as apoptosis and immunoreaction, as well as viral infection, tumorigenesis and tumour progression. METHODS Here we describe the construction of an eukaryotic expression vector containing IER3 gene and its expression in A549 cells as assessed through fluorescence microscopyand Western- blotting. RESULTS Fluorescence detection displayed that GFP in cytoplasm was high during 48 and 72 hours post-transfection. In addition, Western blotting showed significant increase in IER3 gene expression in the transfected cells compared with controls. CONCLUSION The recombinate plasmid expression vector was constructed successfully, which may provide a basis for further exploration of function of IER3 in lung cancer.
