Establishment of six adenoviruses that express the full length of connective tissue growth factor and its deletion mutants
plays an important role in both cell proliferation and differentiation.This study is to elucidate the distinctive function of each module
and to establish recombinant adenoviruses that express full length and deletion mutants of CTGF gene.Methods:Six plasmids containing full-length CTGF
CTGFCD1(no module Ⅳ)
CTGFCD2(no module Ⅲand Ⅳ)
CTGFID1(no module Ⅱ)
CTGFID2(no module Ⅲ)
CTGFID3(no module Ⅱ or Ⅲ) were constructed with Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and gene cloning techniques.The corresponding adenoviruses were generated by recombination and packaging
and evaluated by PCR and Western blot.Results:The presence of full-length CTGF or CTGF deletion mutants in these recombinant adenoviruses was confirmed by DNA sequencing and PCR
and the expression of these CTGF constructs was confirmed by Western blot with anti-Flag antibody to the fusion 3×Flag tag at the C-terminus of these constructs.Conclusion:Six recombinant adenoviruses that express full-length CTGF and deletion mutants have been successfully established
which could facilitate the dissection of CTGF protein function.
