Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A simple method for preparing codon-optimized gene by choosing only codons preferentially used in human genes was named “preferred human codon-optimization method”. We demonstrated that the preferred human codon-optimized luciferase genes were efficiently expressed in several mammalian cells including osteoblastic cells. Also, we expressed a mutated 19 kDa protein of Oplophorus luciferase (nanoKAZ), a preferred codon-optimized gene, and visualized it by bioluminescence imaging. Furthermore, we demonstrated quantitative visualization of protein secretion from 3D-cultured cells by the method of video-rate bioluminescence imaging using Gaussia luciferase as a reporter. Finally, we succeeded in visualizing polarized protein secretion from osteoblastic cells.
