Abstract:
Objective Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( BMSCs) , a kind of stem cells with multiple differentiation po-tentials, exist in the bone marrow and other organizations.This study aimed to investigate the repairing effect of the exogenous basic fi-broblast growth factor ( bFGF) against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) and its action mechanism, and to determine the expression of the bFGF gene in transfected rat BMSCs. Methods BMSCs were isolated, cultured and identified.The recombinant plasmid bFGF-pcDNA3.1 was constructed and sequenced.Liposome-mediated bFGF-pcDNA3.1 plasmid was transfected into the BM-SCs of the rat (bFGF-pcDNA3.1 transfection group), liposome-mediated pcDNA3.1 transfected into the BMSCs (pcDNA3.1 transfec-tion group) , and untransfected BMSCs used as the control.G418 screening was performed for 14 days.The gene and protein expres-sions of bFGF were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results The full-length sequence of the bFGF gene was consistent with that of the GenBank.The expression of the bFGF gene was significantly higher in the bFGF-pcDNA3.1 transfection group (7.028 ±0.568) than in the pcDNA3.1 transfection group (1.000 ±0.082) and the non-transfection control (1) (P<0.01), but with no statistically significant difference between the latter two groups (P>0.05).The expression of the bFGF protein was also re-markably higher in the bFGF-pcDNA3.1 transfection group (1.017 ±0.054) than in the pcDNA3.1 transfection group (0.217 ± 0.009) and the non-transfection control (0.165 ±0.013) (P<0.05), with no statistically significant difference between the latter two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Mediated by the liposome reagent, the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector bFGF-pcD-NA3.1 can be transfected into rat BMSCs and expresses the bFGF gene and protein.
