Abstract

Cell transfection efficiency is still a limiting factor in gene function research. A method that allows isolation and enrichment of the transfection-positive cells is an effective solution. Here, we report a transfection-positive cell sorting system that utilizes GPI-anchored GST (Glutathione S-transferase) as a plasmid marker. The Glutathione S-transferase fusion protein will be expressed and displayed on the cell surface through GPI anchor, and hence permits the positive cells to be isolated using Glutathione (GSH) Magnetic Beads. We prove that the system works efficiently in both the adherent Lenti-X 293T cells and the suspension K-562 cells. The affinity cell sorting procedure efficiently enriched positive cells from 20% to 98% in K-562 cells. The applications in gene knockdown and overexpression experiments in K-562 cells dramatically enhanced the extent of gene alteration, with the gene knockdown efficiency increasing from 7% to 60% and the gene overexpression level rising from 47 to 253 times. This Glutathione S-transferase affinity transfection-positive cell sorting method is simple and fast to operate, large-instrument free, low cost, and hence possesses great potential in gene function study in vitro.
