摘要
目的构建携带色素上皮衍生因子(PEDF)基因的慢病毒(LV)载体并转染人脐带间充质干细胞(hUCMSCs),初步探讨基因修饰PEDF-间充质干细胞的可行性。方法采用基因重组方法构建LV-PEDF载体,测定其LV滴度,以感染复数(MOI)值为10、30、50 的LV体外转染hUCMSCs,并据此分为相应MOI值实验组;以不含PEDF基因的相同MOI值的重组LV载体[LV-绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)]转染hUCMSCs,并据此分为 相应MOI值对照组。荧光显微镜观察两组细胞转染效率并计算转染率。采用细胞免疫荧光法、免疫细胞化学法、实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测50MOI实验组、50MOI对照组细胞中PEDF、血管内皮生长因子(VEGF) 表达水平。结果经酶切以及基因测序鉴定证明LV载体构建成功。转染96 h后,50MOI实验组细胞可见大量GFP表达,转染效率为72.1%。荧光显微镜观察发现,转染后96 h,50MOI实验组细胞胞浆PEDF、VEGF表达增强。光学显微镜观察发现,转染后96 h,50MOI实验组细胞胞浆PEDF表达较低,而VEGF表达较强。RT-PCR检测结果发现,50MOI实验组、50MOI对照组细胞中PEDF mRNA相对表达量分别为0.170±0.028、0.015±0.007;VEGF mRNA相对表达量分别为0.265±0.022、0.285±0.049。两组细胞中PEDF mRNA相对表达量比较,差异有统计学意义(F=70.29,P<0.001);VEGF mRNA相对表达量比较,差异无统计学意义(F=9.57,P>0.05)。结论成功构建携带PEDF基因LV表达载体,并在hUCMSCs中过表达PEDF基因。
ObjectiveTo build the lentiviral vectors of pigment epithelial derived factor (PEDF) gene, and investigate their expression in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs).MethodsThe PEDF lentiviral vectors (LV-PEDF) were built by DNA recombination and confirmed by DNA sequencing. hUCMSCs were transfected by LV-PEDF with MOI 10, 30, 50, respectively. The transfection efficiency was observed under fluorescence microscope. Cell immunofluorescence, immunocytochemistry and real-time PCR methods were used for detecting the expression of PEDF and VEGF.ResultsThe PEDF cDNA was sub-cloned into pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-copGFP vector successfully. DNA sequencing analysis confirmed that PEDF gene sequence was exactly the same with that reported in GenBank. pCDH-PEDF infected cells could show green fluorescence under fluorescence microscope. The transfection efficiency was 72.1% in PEDF-MSCs. Immunofluorescence and immunochemical staining confirmed that PEDF protein was overexpressed in hUCMSCs. The relative expression of PEDF mRNA in experimental group and control group was (0.170±0.028) and (0.015±0.007) respectively by RT-PCR, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The relative expression levels of VEGF mRNA in the two groups were (0.265±0.022) and (0.285±0.049), respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05).ConclusionsWe successfully built a lentivirus vector carrying PEDF gene and obtained hUCMSCs with overexpressed PEDF.
