Abstract:
In order to investigate the feasibility of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene therapy, murine GM-CSF cDNA recombinant retrovirus pLXSN/GM was transfered into retrovirus-packaging cell line PA3 17 by electroporation, and the transfected cells were used to infect hematopoietic progenitor cells rich populations. Transfective efficiency of NeoR gene was detected by G418 resistant CFU-GM test, and the results showed 36% them. In the genome of the infected target cells, integrated NeoR gene and GM-CSF cDNA were identified successfully by PCR and Southern Blot analysis respectively. The recombinant plasmids were showed to be capable of expressing GM-CSF mRNA in hematopoietic cells by in situ hybridization. In Dexter culture system, the present of GM-CSF-producing transduced cells inscreased mature nonadherent cell numbers as compared to controls. These results demonstrated that recombinant plasmids were successfully transfected into hematopoietic progenitor cells, and expressed in the cells. Therefore, it provided a basis for further investigation of gene therapy.
