Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the reversion possibility of hVEGF165 and TGF?1 to intervertebral disc degeneration by gene method. Methods The hVEGF165cDNA obtained from plasmid pcDNA3(+)-hVEGF165 was subcloned into the packaging plasmid pSNAV of AAV by molecular clone ways. The recombinant plasmid pSNAV-hVEGF165 was identified by restriction enzymes analysis and sequencing analysis, and then transfered to the HEK293 cell and VEC by lipofectamine mediated gene transfer method. The protein hVEGF165 was detected by immunofluorescence for immunocytochemistry and explored the influence to the proliferation of vascular endothelial cell by MTT. Whereafter the AAV-hVEGF165 was packaged by Benyuan Zhengyang Company. AAV-hVEGF165 and AAV-TGF?1 were cotransfected into annulus fibrosus cell of intervertebral disc, then the expression of hVEGF165 and TGF?1, and the change of collagen Ⅰin annulus fibrosus cell were detected by Western blot. Results The recombinant pSNAV-hVEGF165 was completely constructed and confirmed by restriction enzymes analysis and sequencing analysis. The protein hVEGF165 was detected by immunofluorescence for immunocytochemistry in experimental group, and hVEGF165 could promote the proliferation of vascular endothelial cell. The bioactive AAV-hVEGF165 was successfully constructed. The expression of AAV-hVEGF165 and AAV-TGF?1 were manifested in degenerative annulus fibrosus cell by Western blot, and the expression of collagen Ⅰin annulus fibrosus cell cotransfected by AAV-hVEGF165 and AAV-TGF?1 was markedly more than that of the monogenic transfected cell. Conclusion hVEGF165 could cooperate with TGF?1 to promote the expression of collagen Ⅰ.
