[Method] The plasmid pBAsi-hU6-Neo（BamHI/HindⅢ）which immune to antibiotic G418 was used to construct shRNA-expressing vector and identified by gene sequencing. Plasmid was transfected into breast cancer cell T47D with liposome and those cells expressing shRNA were selected by G418. RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the expression of hTERT on mRNA and protein level. The telomerase activity was examined by TRAP-ELISA. [Results] 5 kinds of hTERT-targeted shRNA-expressing plasmid were successfully constructed, which was proved by gene sequencing, and they were introduced into breast cancer cell T47D. The expression of hTERT decreased both on mRNA and protein level, and telomerase activity was inhibited at the same time. [Conclusion] The plasmid pBAsi-hU6-Neo（BamHI/HindⅢ） can be used to construct shRNA-expressing vector and transfected into breast cancer cell T47D. The shRNA-targeted hTERT-expressing vector can inhibit the expression of hTERT on both mRNA and protein level and then reduce the telomerase activity.
