Bone tissue regeneration of bone morphogenetic protein-7-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Bone morphogenetic protein-7 can promote proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and has important significance in terms of inducing new bone formation. OBJECTIVE:To observe the protein and mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic protein-7 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels transfected with bone morphogenetic protein-7. METHODS:Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were isolated and cultured, and then identified by the morphology and cel surface markers. Lentiviral vectors carrying bone morphogenetic protein-7 were constructed to transfect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. After total RNA extraction, the protein and mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic protein-7 was detected by RT-PCR and western blot methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:PLV-sfGFP(2A)-BMP7 recombinant plasmids were successfuly constructed and transferred into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. The mRNA and protein expression of bone morphogenetic protein-7 in the transfection group was significantly higher than that in the blank vector and blank groups (P < 0.05), indicating exogenous bone morphogenetic protein-7 gene is effectively integrated into the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels.
