背景将生物材料复合细胞因子基因,或复合转入细胞因子基因的细胞植入骨缺损处可以促进骨修复.目的观察将大鼠转化生长因子β1基因转染成骨细胞后进行骨缺损基因治疗的可行性.设计对照观察实验.单位华中科技大学同济医学院附属协和医院骨科.对象新生SD大鼠5只,雌雄不限.方法实验于2000-02/09在华中科技大学同济医学院附属协和医院骨科实验室完成.通过脂质体介导将转化生长因子β1基因导入大鼠成骨细胞,并以质粒pcDNA3转染细胞作为对照.转染24 h后通过链霉亲和素-生物素化过氧化物酶复合物法和原位杂交法检测目的基因瞬时表达的情况.采用G418筛选转染细胞2周,获得阳性细胞克隆,用链霉亲和素-生物素化过氧化物酶复合物法检测转染细胞稳定表达转化生长因子β1的情况.主要观察指标链霉亲和素-生物素化过氧化物酶复合物法和原位杂交法检测转染细胞基因表达情况.结果①pcDNA3-TGF-β1转染成骨细胞瞬时表达组化检测和原位杂交检测结果24 h转染成骨细胞胞浆中充满染色的棕黄色颗粒,对照组空载体转染细胞胞浆中则没有棕黄色颗粒,说明转基因细胞中转化生长因子β1 mRNA明显增高.②G418筛选转基因细胞组化检测G418筛选2周后的转染细胞仍然有较高的转化生长因子β1表达.结论利用基因转染技术可使成骨细胞瞬时、高效表达细胞因子,转染后瞬时和筛选2周后,均呈现转化生长因子β1基因转染成骨细胞后稳定的高表达,说明采用细胞因子基因转染成骨细胞进行骨缺损的基因治疗具有可行性.

Expression of rat transforming growth factor beta 1 gene in the transfected osteoblasts

BACKGROUND: The cells of biomaterial compound cytokine gene or compound transfected cytokine gene that are transplanted into the area of bone defect can promote bone repair.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of gene therapy for bone defect after rat transforming growth factor (TGF)β1 gene is transfected into osteoblasts.DESIGN: A controlled and observational experiment.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: Five newborn Sprague-Dawley rats of either gender were included.METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Orthopedic Department, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from February to September 2000.Rat osteoblasts were transfected with pcDNA3-TGF-β1 plasmid by lipofectamine mediated gene transfer, and the plasmid pcDNA transfected cells were set as control group. The transient expression of TGF-β1 was detected by strept avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (SABC) method and in situ hybridization detection 24 hours later. The cells transfected by G418 for 2 weeks were detected with SABC to investigate the stable expression of TGF-β1 gene.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: SABC method and in situ hybridization detection were applied to detect gene expression.of pcDNA3-TGF-β1 transfected osteoblasts and in situ hybridization detection: After the osteoblasts were transfected for 24 hours, cytoplast was full of brown granules and there were no brown granules in the cytoplast of blank carrier transfected cells, indicating that TGF-β1 mRNA was signifiG418: transfected cells still had high expression of TGF-β1 after 2-week G418 screening.CONCLUSION: Osteoblasts can express cytokine immediately with high effect using gene transfection technique. The stable and high expression is presented after TGF-β1 gene is transfected into osteoblasts at the moment of transfection and after 2-week screening, proving the feasibility of gene therapy for bone defect when cytokine gene is transfected into osteoblasts.
