目的 探讨超声联合SonoVue微泡介导hAng-1基因转染293T细胞的转染效率及基因完整性和表达状况.方法 构建eGFP-C3-hAn-1质粒,根据不同实验组的设计,应用相应的微泡联合超声辐照条件进行293T细胞的eGFP-C3-hAng-1基因转染,转染后48 h,以荧光显微镜观察到绿色荧光为转染成功标志;流式细胞术检测基因转染阳性细胞率,台盼蓝染色检测细胞生存率;RT-PCR和Western blot技术检测hAng-1基因的mRNA和蛋白表达;琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测经超声辐射后质粒的完整性.结果 ①微泡浓度为20%,DNA浓度为15 mg/L时进行基因转染可获较好转染效率和细胞生存率;②转染体系中血清的存在并不影响转染效率和细胞生存率;③最适转染条件下的超声辐照剂量不会影响DNA的完整性,且转染后的基因可正常表达mRNA并翻译目的蛋白.结论 微泡联合超声辐照能够介导体外细胞治疗性基因的转染,血清的存在并不影响基因的转染,转染后的基因能顺利地表达并具有正常功能.

Effects of ultrasound-mediated SonoVue microbubbles destruction on the integrity and expression of hAng-1 gene

Objective To test the efficiency of gene transfer and expression mediated by ultrasound and microbubble strategy in 293T cell. Methods SonoVue microbubbles were mixed with pla.smid DNA encoding hAng-1 and green fluorescent protein. The mixture of the DNA and microbubbles was administer to cultured 293T cells by ultrasound exposue. The ultrasound condition was 1. 5 W/cm~2 and 30 s. Forty eight hours later, transfer rate was assessed by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Cell viability was assayed by Trypan Blue staining. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis was used to examine the expression of hAng-1 mRNA and protein. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to evaluate the integrity of the plasmid. Results The transfection expression rate of eGFP in 293T cells was markedly increased with the additon of 20% microbubbles and 15 mg/L DNA. Fetal calf serum had no influence on the gene transfer rate. Ultrasound irradiation combined with microbubbles couldn't destroy the integrity of plasmid. Conclusions Ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction can increase the transfection and expression of hAng-1 gene in 293T.
