Abstract Objective: To establish a HepG2 cell line, which can stably express Sus scrofa CYP3A22,for the evaluation of the drug metabolic characteristics of CYP3A22. Methods: Sus scrofa CYP3A22 gene obtained by PCR was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 [The tissue of Bama minipig was amplified by RT-PCR. The gene was subcloned into plasmid pMD18-T (designated as pMD-3A22), and then the gene amplified by recombinant plasmid was designated as pcDNA-3A22]. Then Sus scrofa CYP3A22 gene was confirmed by sequencing. Next,the confirmed gene was transfected into HepG2 cells by lipid-media transfection,and the transformant HepG2 cells were screened by G418 for 10 generations. Expression of CYP3A22 in HepG2 cells was identified by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses,and the metabolic activity of transformant HepG2 (HepG2-CYP3A22) was verified by nifedipine oxidation. Results: The HepG2-CYP3A22 line demonstrated a significantly higher oxidative activity as compared with the negative control HepG2 line. Conclusion HepG2 cell line stably expressing CYP3A22 was established successfully. The cell line may be useful for the studies of toxicity and pharmacology.
