重组质粒pcDNA3-β-NGF的构建及其转染小鼠骨髓间充质干细胞生物学活性的研究*

 目的：构建人神经生长因子β亚基(β-NGF)真核表达载体，转染荧光小鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(MSCs)并研究其生物学活性。方法：全骨髓贴壁培养法分离、培养和纯化荧光小鼠MSCs，构建真核表达载体pcDNA3-β-NGF，并转染MSCs；免疫组织化学染色检测β-NGF的表达，观察β-NGF阳性的MSCs对小鼠海马神经元生长的作用。结果：荧光小鼠MSCs可发出明亮的绿色荧光，且荧光不随培养时间延长和传代次数增加而衰减。重组质粒pcDNA3-β-NGF转染MSCs后β-NGF阳性率为(37.12±2.14)%，高于MSCs组［(2.36±0.62)%］和空白对照组［(1.43±0.76)%］，差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。pcDNA3-β-NGF转染MSCs上清液培养的新生小鼠海马神经元的突起长度［(31±3)μm］较pcDNA3转染MSCs组［(23±4)μm］明显增加，差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)，表明β-NGF基因转染MSCs培养上清液中的产物能促进小鼠海马神经元的突起生长，具有明显的生物学活性。结论：成功构建了pcDNA3-β-NGF真核表达载体，其转染的荧光小鼠MSCs能正确、稳定表达和分泌有生物学活性的β-NGF。

Biological characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from GFP transgenic mice transfected with human β-nerve growth factor gene

AIM:To investigate the changes of biological characteristics of GFP transgenic mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which were transfected with human β-nerve growth factor (β-NGF) gene in a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector. METHODS:MSCs obtained from GFP transgenic mice were isolated, cultured and purified by the whole bone marrow adherence methods. Human β-NGF gene was transfected into the MSCs by a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector. The β-NGF expression in the MSCs was detected by the method of immunocytochemistry. Hippocampal neurons from neonatal mice were cultured with culture supernatant of the MSCs transfected with pcDNA3-β-NGF and the biological characteristics of the MSCs were investigated 3 d after culture under inverted phase-contrast microscope. RESULTS:The β-NGF positive rate of MSCs in pcDNA3-β-NGF transfection group ［(37.12±2.14)%］ was significantly higher than that in MSCs control group ［(2.36±0.62)%］ and blank control group ［(1.43±0.76)%］.The neurite length of neonatal mouse hippocampal neurons cultured with culture supernatant from pcDNA3-β-NGF-transfected MSCs ［(31±3)μm］ was significantly longer than that in negative control group ［(23±4)μm］, suggesting that MSCs transfected with β-NGF gene maintained better biological characteristics. CONCLUSION: The constructed recombinant eukaryotic expression vector of human β-NGF gene can be transfected into MSCs efficiently and NGF can be effectively expressed in MSCs. MSCs transfected with β-NGF gene are capable of stable expression and secretion of β-NGF, and maintenance of better biological characteristics.
