Objective  To construct the responsive plasmid PTRE-HIF-1αof Tet-on gene expression system and examine its expression. Methods  RT-nested PCR was performed on the total RNA extracted from hypoxia HepG2 cells to obtain the cDNA of HIF-1α, which was inserted into the responsive plasmid PTRE2hyg. DNA sequencing was performed after the recombinant of responsive plasmid PTRE-HIF-1α was identified by endonuclease digestion. This recombinant vector was transfected into HepG2Tet-on cells by means of liposome and its expression was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot under the control of deoxycycline. Results  The amplified products were confirmed as the cDNA of HIF-1α by DNA sequencing. The responsive plasmid PTRE-HIF-1α verified by edonuclease digestion, was capable of expression in HepG2Tet-on cells and could be controlled by deoxycycline. Conclusion  The responsive plasmid PTRE-HIF-1α of Tet-on expression system is constructed successfully, and it can express under the regulation of deoxycycline in the HepG2Tet-on cells.
