Abstract:
Objective To observe the transfection efficiency and anti-fibrotic effect of miR-29b transfected by anti-TGF-β Ⅱ R ScFv/Ck/tP fusion protein (new vector) in hepatic stellate cell (HSC),and to provide a new vector in gene therapy for liver fibrosis.Methods The liposome vector,new vector,and lentiviral vector were used as transfection reagents to transfect miR-29b into HSC.Transfection efficiency was observed under fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry.Collagen α1 (Ⅰ) mRNA and protein expression in different groups were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR and Western Blot,respectively.Results Compared to the control,transfection efficiencies in lentiviral vector,new vector,and liposome vector groups were about 70%,58%,and 29%,respectively.Collagen α1 (Ⅰ) mRNA expression in lentiviral vector,new vector,and liposome vector groups was decreased by about 70%,50%,and 38%,respectively ((t =6.316,P <0.01 ; t =4.082,P <0.01 ; t =3.014,P <0.05).Collagen α1(Ⅰ) protein expression in lentiviral vector,new vector,and liposome vector groups was decreased by about 59%,41%,and 27%,respectively (t =4.209,P <0.01; t =4.033,P <0.01; t =2.842,P <0.05).Conclusions The new vector constructed by us has a high transfection efficiency.MiR-29b transfected by the new vector has a good anti-liver fibrosis effect.
