Abstract:
Objective To transfect the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-hHCN4-IRES/eGFP and detect the expression of target gene in hHCN4 mRNA and protein of BMSCs.
Methods Rat BMSCs were isolated and purified by adherent culture and transfected with recombinant adenovirus vector containing human HCN4 gene.Expressions of green fluorescent protein and transfected hHCN4 mRNA and protein in transfected rat BMSCs were detected by fluorescence microscopy, RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively.
Results The BMSCs were successfully isolated after adherent culture. Expressions of green fluorescent protein and transfected hHCN4 mRNA and protein in transfected rat BMSCs could be detected by fluorescence microscopy, PCR and Western blot, respectively.
Conclusion Recombinant adenovirus vector-transfected BMSC can express the hHCN4 gene.
