RESUMO
Objective To observe the repair effect of human ?-defensin 2 (hBD 2)-modified rat dermal multipotent stem cells (dMSCs) transplantation on infected wound. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were excised a piece of whole-layer back skin, 3 mm in diameter, then infected the wound with 1?10 8/ml pseudomonas aeruginosa 1 ml, then the rats were injected on the wounded back respectively with dMSCs modified by hBD 2 (n=10), or pure dMSCs (n=10) or none as control (n=10). The repair effect was evaluated by observing the amount of bacteria under the scar, wound healing time and the percentage of remaining wound area. Results The amount of bacteria under the scar in rats that were transplanted with dMSCs modified by hBD 2 was less than that in rats transplanted with dMSCs or controls (P
RESUMO
Objective To examine the expression of human ?-defensin 2 (hBD_ 2 ) recombinant adenovirus expression vector in rat dermal multipotent stem cells (dMSCs) and to observe the antiseptic activity of recombinant hBD_ 2 . Methods The expression of hBD_ 2 in dMSCs was examined by RT-PR, fluorescent immunochemistry and Western blotting, and the concentration of recombinant hBD_ 2 in supernate was measured by ELISA. The antiseptic activity of recombinant hBD_ 2 was assessed by K-B disc agar diffusion test. Results hBD_ 2 could be effectively expressed in dMSCs, and the concentration of recombinant hBD_ 2 in supernate was about 743.6 ng/ml . Recombinant hBD_ 2 in supernate showed antiseptic activity. Conclusion Recombinant adenovirus expression vector of hBD_ 2 could be effectively expressed in dMSCs, and the recombinant hBD_ 2 in supernate showed obvious antiseptic effects toward some standard bacteria lines.
