Transfection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells using green fluorescence protein labeled hVEGF165 recombinant plasmid mediated by liposome

摘要

Objective:To study the role of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in construction of vascularized engineered tissue. Methods: hVEGF165 was amplified via RT-PCR before recombinant with pShuttle-green fluorescence protein;green fluorescent protein (GFP)-CMV. Then the recombinant shuttle plasmid was transfected into BMSCs with LipofectamineTM 2000 for packaging and amplifying. hVEGF165 mRNA expression in BMSCs cells was tested. Results:The sequence of hVEGF165 in pShuttle-GFP-hVEGF165 plasmid was confirmed by double-enzyme cleavage method and sequencing. hVEGF165 was highly expressed in BMSCs. Conclusions:The GFP/hVEGF165 recombinant plasmid vector was constructed successfully and expressed effectively in host cells, which may be helpful for discussing the possibility of the application of VEGF165-BMSCs in tissue engineering and ischemic disease cure.
