BACKGROUND:It has been proved that erythropoietin can promotes angiogenesis in injured tissue, which is closely related to the proliferation and differentiation of endothelial progenitor cel s. However, the involved mechanism remains unclear yet.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of erythropoietin on the function and activity of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cel s in mice, and to explore the signal pathway.
METHODS:The endothelial progenitor cel s from the bone marrow of mice were separated by means of density gradient centrifugation and then cultured. The cel s were preconditioned by specific inhibitor of PI3K
(LY294002), and were divided into the fol owing groups:EGM-2 group, three erythropoietin preconditioned groups (the concentrations of erythropoietin in medium were 1, 5, 10 U/mL respectively), erythropoietin+LY group (10 U/mL erythropoietin and 10 mmol/L LY294002 in medium), LY group (10 mmol/L LY294002 in medium), dimethyl sulfoxide group (1 mL/L dimethyl sulfoxide in medium). The cel proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated by cel counting kit-8 and flow cytometry respectively. The contents of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and vascular endothelial growth factor in cel lysates were detected by the method of ELISA, and the expressions of Akt and p-Akt were by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Erythropoietin could promote the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cel s in a dose-dependent manner, which was, however, completely inhibited by LY294002. The apoptosis rate in the erythropoietin preconditioned groups was significantly lower than that in the erythropoietin+LY group. The contents of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and vascular endothelial growth factor in cel lysates of LY group and erythropoietin+LY group were significantly lower than those in the erythropoietin groups. There was no difference in Akt expression found in each group, while the p-Akt expression in the erythropoietin+LY group was significantly lower than that in the erythropoietin groups. The above results reveal that erythropoietin can promote the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cel s and decrease the cel apoptosis, which is depending on PI3K/Akt signal pathway.

BACKGROUND: Studies demonstrated that small intestinal submucosa (SIS) had no immunogenicity, which can not lead to rejection following transplantation, thus, this is an ideal skin substitutes for natural skin.OBJECTIVE: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene was transfected into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs),and combined the cells with SIS to construct tissue-engineered skin.METHODS: BMSCs were obtained from Japanese big-earad rabbits, and in vitro cultured. Then the subculturad BMSCs were transfected by pCDNA3.1 plasmid, followed by incubation on swine SIS to construct the tissue-engineered skin. The growth of cells and phenotype of BMSCs were detected by flow cytometry. In addition, the result of transfecting BMSCs with pCDNA-bFGF vector was measured by Western blot, and the structure of tissue-engineered skin was observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After passaged, BMSCs were grown quickly with Iong-fusiform shape. The cells were positive expressed CD90 and CD44, but negative expressed CD45. bFGF had been transfected into BMSCs, and stable expressed. The transfected BMSCs grew well in SIS. By this method, tissue-engineered skin can be constructed in vitro.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the in vivo possibility of osteogenesis and angiogenesis of tissue-engineered periosteum in rabbits.METHODS: The marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from New Zealand rabbits were adhered to small intestinal submucosa (SIS) to fabricate the tissue-engineered periosteum. Totally 12 New Zealand rabbits were received critical bone defect in bilateral radii to prepare models. The tissue-engineered periosteum was randomly implanted in one side of bone defect,and the other side was treated by SIS. At 4 weeks after operation, the angiogenesis of tissue engineered bone was detected by Tetracycline fluorescence microscopy and formaldehyde-ink perfusion method; simultaneously, the new bone formation was firmed by haematoxylin-eosin staining.RESULTS: Animals showed normal daily behaviors and non-infection wounds healing. The gross observation showed that bone defects in the experimental side were bridged with newly formed bone; while the defects of the control side were remained empty.Tetracycline fluorescence microscopy and hisotological examination could confirm the new bone tissue formation in the experimental side. The ink staining in new bone specimens suggested that there were abundant of neovasculization in tissue-engineered bone.CONCLUSION: Tissue-engineered periosteum can form new bone in allogenic rabbits and can be vascularized by some inherent mechanism for new bone tissue survivor.

BACKGROUND: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has significant promotion effects on repair in trauma, but local application cannot play a role for a long time.OBJECTIVE: To observe expression of bFGF gene in rabbit bone marrow mesenchymai stem cells (BMSCs) following transfection.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytogene in vitro observation was performed at the College of Life Science, Yunnan University from March to August 2009.MATERIALS: One Japan flap-eared rabbit was purchased from the Department of Animal, Kunming Medical College. pCDNA3.1plasmid (Invitrogen, USA) was used in this study.METHODS: Bone marrow was extracted from rabbit anterior superior iliac spine. BMSCs were harvested by the adherent method.Cells were digested and subcultured when 80% confluent. According to GeneBank bFGF cDNA sequence, gene was designed and synthesized. Following electropherosis, the gel was retrieved using xhol I, BamH I enzyme digestion. Restriction enzyme was used to perform enzyme digestion, electropherosis and gene recovery in PcDNA Vector plasmid. bFGF DNA was connected with PcDNA Vector plasmid. PcDNA-bFGF eukaryotic expression vector was constructed. Recombinant was transfected into rabbit BMSCs using liposome infection protocol, and stable transfected line was screened.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BMSC surface antigen expression was measured. Western blot was utilized to determine the expression of target protein.RESULTS: Results of flow cytometry showed that cultured cells were positive for CD90 and CD44, but negative for CD45.Results of immunohistochemistry demonstrated that vessel-derived BMSCs were negative for CD34, but positive for CD44. In cell disruption liquid of bFGF-transfected BMSCs, a significant positive zone of hybridization was visible at M, 23 000. However, no positive band was found in protein from pCDNA3.1(-) blank vector-transfected BMSCs.CONCLUSION: The bFGF gene was successfully transfected into BMSCs, and this target gene can stably express.
