Abstract:

This study was aimed to constract growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) lentiviral vector,which was stably expressed in goat primary fibroblast. The CDS of sheep GDF9 gene was cloned by gene synthesis, the CDS was 1 362 bp, encoding 453 amino acids. After double enzyme digestion and ligation, the GDF9 fragment was sub-cloned into an empty lentiviral vector. The GDF9 lentiviral vector and the packaging plasmids were co-transfected into 293T cells, and the lentivirus with titer of 1×106 TU/mL was obtained. The goat primary fibroblasts were transfected with GDF9 lentivirus, the red fluorescence could be observed in more than 60% of the cells, suggesting the prepared lentivirus had high infection efficiency to goat primary fibroblasts. After puromycin screening, all cells were able to observe red fluorescence. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that the GDF9 expression level was higher than that of control group. The results indicated that the goat primary fibroblasts stably expressing GDF9 were successfully obtained. This results might lay a foundation for the function study of GDF9 and the goat germplasm resources innovation in the future.
