Abstract: The eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRES2-AcGFP1-PLIN2 was constructed and its transfection status in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was observed. The PLIN2 gene was cloned into pMD18-T vector and digested by EcoR I/Sal I. The digested product was digested and then ligated into pIRES2-AcGFP1 vector and transformed into DH5α competent cells, and pIRES2-AcGFP1-PLIN2 positive recombinant plasmid was extracted and transfected into 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The Transfection condition was observed by microscope. The PLIN2 gene was successfully cloned. At the same time, the eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRES2-AcGFP1-PLIN2 was successfully constructed and expressed in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The green fluorescence was observed under the microscope, which laid the foundation for further studying the regulation mechanism of PLIN2 gene on adipocytes.
