Abstract

The invention discloses a plasmid expressed by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) promoter mediated firefly luciferase gene. The plasmid is formed by connecting a PSA promoter pPSA-ZsGreen dominant skeleton with a firefly luciferase gene fragment. The plasmid is applied to the transfection of prostate cancer cells to lay a foundation for constructing a prostate PSA fluorescence reporter gene animal model. The part of the tumor in the prostate cancer animal model is positioned by use of fluorescence, and then a reliable animal model can be provided for the treatment of the prostate cancer and the development of new drugs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a plasmid in which a PSA promoter mediates luciferase gene expression. Background technique [0002] Prostate cancer is one of the malignant tumors of the male reproductive system. It mainly occurs among the elderly in western developed countries. In recent years, the incidence rate in my country has shown an upward trend. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a specific protein secreted by prostate epithelial cells. Changes in its content in serum can reflect the occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis, and prognosis of prostate cancer. It is the main sensitive index for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of cancer. PSA mainly exists in prostate cells and tissues. Under normal circumstances, the content of serum is low. When suffering from prostate cancer, due to the massive proliferation and rupture of tumor cells, PSA is released into the blood in large quantities, whic...
