Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We established the cells with the GFP-fused domain to induce secretion of PTEN (N173GFP). The additional kozak sequence to an alternative translation start site of PTEN improved the expression level of N173GFP. Although intracellular expression of N173GFP was detected, N151GFP, the secreted type of N173GFP, could not be detected in the culture media. To directly treat epithelial cells with exogenous PTEN, we established the cells which produce the GFP-fused secreted alternative domain of PTEN (N151GFP). When exogenous administration of GFPN151 to epithelial cells was performed in vitro, immunofluorescent evaluation could not show GFP expression in the cells. By not only the gene modification of alternative translation start site of PTEN to improve expression rate but also the determination of appropriate condition to improve recovery rate of secreted PTEN protein, we establish the new therapeutic strategy to regulate tissue microenvironment.
