Abstract：Objective To prepare the LINE1-ORF1p polyclonal antibody, and to study the effect of LINE1-ORF1p on the proliferation of nephroblastoma WT_CLS1 cells. Methods A genetic engineering method was used to achieve prokaryotic expression of LINE1-ORF1p, and rabbits were immunized with LINE1-ORF1p to prepare polyclonal antibody. Indirect ELISA was used to evaluate antibody titer, and Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the specific ability of antibody to recognize LINE1-ORF1p. The eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1-LINE1-ORF1 was constructed and used to transfect WT_CLS1 cells. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to measure the protein and mRNA expression of LINE1-ORF1, respectively, and cell proliferation assay and colony-forming assay were used to evaluate the effect of LINE1-ORF1p on the proliferation of WT_CLS1 cells and the formation of tumor cell clone. Results The LINE1-ORF1p antibody prepared had a titer of > 1:16 000 and could specifically recognize LINE1-ORF1p in cells and tumor tissue. WT_CLS1 cells transfected with pEGFP-N1-LINE1-ORF1 had significant increases in the mRNA and protein expression of LINE1-ORF1 and significantly enhanced cell proliferation ability and colony formation ability (P < 0.05). Conclusions LINE1-ORF1p can promote the growth of nephroblastoma cells and the formation of tumor cell clone, and may be involved in the pathogenesis of nephroblastoma.
