Objective: To clone the promoter of the adiponectin gene and investigate its transcriptional activity in the Chinese hamster ovary cells(CHO) cell lines. Method: The promoter of the human adiponectin gene was amplified from human genomic DNA by PCR
and then it was subcloned into PUC-19T and luciferase reporter gene.The Luciferase report systems with the promoter of the adiponectin gene were used to transfer CHO cells.The luciferase activities of the transferred cells were compared by luciferase assay. Result: The luciferase activity demonstrated that the constructed vector had the promotor activity.The CHO cells presented a stronger adiponectin promoter activity in 48 h than pGL-3basic vector. Conclusion: The human adiponecitin luciferase reporter gene vector has been constructed successfully
and it will become essential material for further study of obesity therapy with the traditional Chinese medicine.
