Screening of binding proteins that interact with HMGB1 promoter in ventilator-induced lung injury by biotin-streptavidin system
AIM:To screen the binding proteins that interact with HMGB1 promoter in ventilator-induced lung injury(VILI).METHODS:Eight Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were divided into two groups,the mechanically ventilated group(n=4)and the normal control group(n=4).The mechanically ventilated rats were subjected to mechanical ventilation(VT=40 mL/kg)for 4 hours to reproduce a ventilator-induced lung injury(VILI)model.The biotin-labeled DNA probe for HMGB1 promoter was amplified by PCR.The cell nuclear extracts from lung of rats were prepared and mixed together.DNA pull-down assays were performed by using magnetic beads conjugated with streptavidin.Proteins binding on the beads were eluted with different concentrations of salts.The samples were resolved by SDS-PAGE and displayed by silver stain to compare differential bands between two groups.RESULTS:Twenty four proteins in the nuclear extracts were found to be difierent between normal and VILI rats.SDS-PAGE displayed that,compared with normal rats,there were six proteins inereased and two declined in the rats treated with mechanical ventilation when eluted with lOW salt.While under the condition of high affinity elution,there were ten proteins increased and six disappeared after mechanical ventilation.CONCLUSION:Binding proteins that interact with HMGB1 promoter in VILI have been acquired.which will be useful for further study of the regulation mechanism of HMGB1.
