碱性成纤维细胞生长因子基因转染骨髓间充质干细胞在失神经肌肉萎缩中的应用

BACKGROUND: How to avoid denervated muscular atrophy is a key factor to improve the therapeutic efficacy on peripheral nerve injuries.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells against denervated muscle atrophy.METHODS:bFGF genes were transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells using viral transfection method, and then MTT, immunohistochemical staining, hematoxylin-eosin staining, RT-PCR, western blot, and ELISA methods were used to detect the transfection efficiency and product expression. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to make animal models of sciatic nerve injury, and subjected to multi-point intramuscular injection of bFGF-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (experimental group) or cell culture fluid (control group). At 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks after transfection, the gastrocnemius muscle tissues were harvested to detect action potential, residual wet weight, and cross-sectional area of muscle fibers.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The bFGF gene was successfully transfected into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells using the viral transfection method. The residual wet weight, cross-sectional area and residual action potential of the gastrocnemius muscle were significantly better in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that bFGF gene-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplanted into the denervated muscle can retard the development of muscle atrophy.  中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：干细胞；骨髓干细胞；造血干细胞；脂肪干细胞；肿瘤干细胞；胚胎干细胞；脐带脐血干细胞；干细胞诱导；干细胞分化；组织工程
