Effect of HGF gene on proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in rats

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-HGF-C1 of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) and investigate the effect of HGF on vascular endothelial cells(VECs) in rats. Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-HGF-C1 with whole length of human HGF cDNA was constructed by subcloning technique and then sequenced.The transfection efficiency was evaluated by transfecting pEGFP-HGF-C1 into primary skeletal muscle cells in rats,and the protein expression of HGF in the cell supernatant was detected by ELISA.The proliferative effect of HGF-expressing product on VECs was measured by MTT assay. Results The pEGFP-HGF-C1 expressing HGF was successfully contructed and effectively transfected into primary skeletal muscle cells to express HGF. The HGF-expressing product could significantly stimulate the proliferation of VECs in dose-and time-dependent manner(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion The eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-HGF-C1 constructed can be effectively transfected into skeletal muscle cells in rats and promote the proliferation of VECs.
