Abstract: Sox2 is one important marker of pluripotent stem cells, a study found that neural stem cells with high expression of Sox2 as donor cells showed higher reprogramming ability in nuclear transplantation.In this study, through enhancing exogenous Sox 2 gene expression of sheep bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, in order to raise their reprogramming ability, and improve the efficiency of somatic cell cloning in animal.Total RNA was extracted from sheep testicular tissue, and with this template, Sox2 cDNA sequence was amplified and inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1 to build a recombinant vector pEGFP-N1-Sox2.The vector was transfected into the sheep bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by liposome method, and through G418 and fluorescence screening to obtain and amplify monoclone.DNA sequencing showed that sheep Sox 2 gene CDS sequence was obtained, and recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed.Identification of fluorescence confirmed that stable sheep bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell lines transfected with Sox2 were established.This study obtained the sheep bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell lines with high expression of Sox2, and provided a new idea for raising reprogramming efficiency in the process of somatic cell cloning.

Key words: Sox2 gene; bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells; reprogramming
