Objective: To construct a lentiviral vector expressing the VEGF and the Smad7 gene, which is applied to gene therapy for erectile dysfunction. Methods: Primers of VEGF and Smad7 were designed according to the gene information of GenBank;The target gene fragment was amplified by overlap PCR.VEGF and Smad7 were cloned into lentivirus expression vector Ubi-MCS-3FLAG-CBh-gcGFP-IRES-puromycin by using gene recombination technique.The recombinant plasmids were identified by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing.The 293T cells were transfected with constructed plasmids,packaing system pHelper1.0 and pHelper2.0 plasmids.Lentivirus was packaged and the titer was determined. Results: The recombinant lentiviral vector of VEGF and Smad7 was successfully constructed by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing.Recombinant lentiviruses measured by fluorometry in high titer were obtained (2E + 8TU / ml).The gene VEGF and smad7 could be efficiently transfected into 293T cells by recombinant lentivirus,the overexpression of VEGF and smad7 protein in target cells were confirmed by Western Blotting. Conclusion: The recombinant lentiviral vector of VEGF and Smad7 genes can be produced successfully in high titer with correct expression.
