[Abstract] Objective: To construct green fluorescence protein (GFP)labeled recombinant adenovirus vector carrying TNFα?Tumstatin fusion gene and transfect it into hUCMSCs. Methods: The amplification products of TNFα?Tumstatin by PCR with a pair of primers with BglⅡand HindⅢ restriction endonuclease sites and signal peptide sequence of GM?CSF were subcloned into shuttle plasmid pAdtrack?CMV after digesting with BglⅡand HindⅢ. The resultant plasmid, after linearized by digesting with restriction endonuclease PmeⅠ, was transformed into E.coli.BJ5183 that had been transformed by adenoviral backbone plasmid pAdEasy?1. Recombinant plasmid were obtained by alternation of kanamycin and then confirmed by PCR and restriction endonuclease analysis. The adenovirus was packaged and propagated in human embryonal kidney cells (293A cells)after being linearized by digesting with restriction endonuclease PacⅠand then was transfected into hUCMSCs. Fusion gene expression in infected hUCMSCs was detected by RT?PCR. Results: The results of PCR and restriction endonuclease assay indicated that target gene was inserted into recombinant adenovirus vector successfully. The sequence of fusion gene was the same as that of designed fragments. hUCMSCs infected by the recombinant adenovirus expressed GFP and fusion gene which could be demonstrated by fluorescence microscope and RT?PCR respectively. Conclusion: Recombinant adenovirus vector containing TNFα?Tumstatin has been constructed successfully and could transfected hUCMSCs efficiently, which laid a foundation for further investigation of anti?tumor effect of hUCMSCs modified with TNFα?Tumstatin.快速论文发表

TNFα对肿瘤细胞有直接的毒性作用,对肿瘤血管也有一定的破坏效应。然而临床上使用TNFα存在抑制肿瘤效率低、剂量高和毒副作用强等问题。Tumstatin能抑制肿瘤血管新生来发挥抗肿瘤的效应。Luo等[1]构建的双功能融合蛋白TNFα?Tumstatin有望克服TNFα应用剂量高、毒副作用强的缺点,发挥二者联合抗肿瘤作用。为此我们以TNFα?Tumstatin融合基因为目的基因,构建了绿色荧光蛋白(green fluorescence protein,GFP)标记的重组腺病毒表达载体,初步探讨其在人脐带间质干细胞(human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, hUCMSCs)中的表达,为开展融合基因修饰的hUCMSCs抗肿瘤研究奠定实验基础。快速论文发表
