Abstract

The invention relates to a reporter gene method for an intron sequence of human CYP3A4 and for testing whether the SNP of the sequence has enhancer and promoter expression enhancing functions at the same time. The method comprises the following steps: selecting the intron sequence from the genome of human CYP3A4; constructing a luciferase reporter gene plasmid of a promoter sequence of CYP3A4; constructing a luciferase reporter gene vector of an intron SNP enhancer of CYP3A4; constructing a luciferase reporter gene vector of an intron SNP promoter of CYP3A4; culturing and transfecting HepG 2 cells; and determining the activity of dual-luciferase. With the method, it is discovered that the intron SNP of human CYP3A4 has enhancer and promoter functions at the same time, SNP capable of improving output of CYP3A4 enzyme can be screened by using the method, and the method has a critical application value in further in-vitro research on or screening of drugs used for metabolism of the CYP3A4 enzyme.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and relates to a report for verifying that the CYP3A4 intron SNP has enhancer and promoter functions for the human CYP3A4 intron sequence and verifying that the sequence SNP has enhancer and promoter enhanced expression functions at the same time genetic approach. Background of the invention

[0002] CYP3A4 enzyme is the most important drug-metabolizing enzyme in the adult body, and the metabolized drugs account for about half of the drugs used in clinical practice. The activity of the enzyme affects the curative effect of the drug and is related to the adverse reaction of the drug, and there are obvious individual differences. Studies have shown that there are about 40-fold individual differences in the expression of CYP3A4 enzymes in the liver, and about 90% of this difference is caused by genetic variation in the human CYP3A4 gene. If the genetic markers that cause individual differences ca...
