Abstract:
To investigate the relationship between the growth situation of the cells and the expression level of thymosin beta4, the specific primer of thymosin beta4 was selected to test the expression of thymosin-beta gene in murine bone marrow endothelial cells in different proliferation states and in HL-60 cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells by RT-PCR. The results showed that the expression level of thymosin beta4 in the murine bone marrow endothelial cells with active proliferation was high, otherwise it was low. The thymosin beta4 gene expression level was higher in HL-60 cells than that in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. It was suggested that the expression level of thymosin beta4 mRNA is closely related to cell growth.
