Abstract: AIM: To construct eukaryotic expression vector expressing double shRNA sections targeting Survivin gene.Methods: Eukaryotic expression vector expressing double shRNA sections targeting Survivin gene were designed and chemically synthesized.They were directionally inserted into plasmid pGenesil-1 with respectively U6 promoter and termination code, the common green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene and Neo gene. In this way, the vector of pGenesil-1 shRNA containing 2 sections of Survivin shRNA were constructed and they were transfected into the pancreatic cancer cell Bx-PC3. Transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope. The inhibition expression of Survivin mRNA was measured by RT-PCR.Results: HE1 and HE2 plasmids were identified by the biocatalyst cut which confirmed the exactitude and were analyzed by the sequence analysis which verified the perfect clone plasmid inserted by them.Conclusion: A eukaryotic expression vector of double short hairpin RNA for Survivin gene is successfully constructed.The pancreatic cancer cells Bx-PC3 succeed to be transfected and expression of Survivin mRNA is inhibited obviously.
