Abstract: The assay was aimed to study the effects of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2626c protein on RAW264.7 cell apoptosis.According to the Rv2626c gene sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in GenBank database, Rv2626c primers were designed.The Rv2626c gene was amplified and cloned into the lentiviral vector pLEX-EGFP.After transfection of lentivirus expressing vector with the helper plasmids into HEK-293T cells, lentivirus were packaged and infected into RAW264.7 cells.Then total protein of the infected cells was extracted.Protein levels of Rv2626c and apoptosis levels of RAW264.7 cells were detected using Western blotting and flow cytometry.The results showed that reconstructed lentivirus expressing vector pLEX-EGFP-Rv2626c and the Rv2626c-overexpressing lentivirus Rv2626c-lv were constructed successfully.The overexpressed Rv2626c protein promoted the RAW264.7 cells apoptosis.Overexpression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2626c protein significantly promoted apoptosis in RAW264.7 cells.

Key words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Rv2626c gene; RAW264.7 cells; apoptosis
