The application belongs to the field of
genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a
polynucleotide construct capable of expressing LMNA and application thereof in preventing and treating DCM. The synthetic
intron in the application comprises: I) a
nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID No. 8, II) a
nucleotide sequence having at least one
mutation in the 1-8th position of the sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 8, or a
nucleotide sequence having at least 90% homology with the sequence shown in I) or II). By using the synthetic
intron in the application, two proteins can be simultaneously expressed through
alternative splicing, and the ratio of the two proteins or the expression of a single
protein can be regulated through
mutation of the splicing
signal. Compared with the existing
gene therapy method for
dilated cardiomyopathy caused by LMNA
mutation, the
expression vector for simultaneously expressing Lamin A and Lamin C proteins in the application has stronger rescue effect.
