Abstract: The study was aimed to construct a membrane-bound bile acid receptor TGR5 eukaryotic expression vector, which transfected into 293T cell, and expressed in 293T cell. Total RNA was extracted from placenta tissue, and RT-PCR was performed to obtain the TGR5 cDNA, which was inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pCMV-EGFP. The novel constructed plasmid was confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing, then 293T cell was transfected with pCMV-EGFP-TGR5, Real-time PCR and Western blotting were amplified to determine the expression of TGR5. The result showed that the eukaryotic expression vector of pCMV-EGFP-TGR5 was constructed successfully. Green fluorescent was examined under fluorescent microscope, and the expression of TGR5 was increased significantly in 293T cells. The eukaryotic expression vector pCMV-EGFP-TGR5 was constructed successfully and TGR5 was expressed in mRNA and protein levels in 293T cell after transfection.
