The invivo study of myeloprotection by GST-π gene transfected human cord blood hematopoietic stem cells transplantation

Objective :To investigate the influence of GST πgenetransferintohumancord blood hematopoie ticstem cellson their drugres is tanceagains tanti tumordrugs invivo .Methods: GST πgenetran sfectionin to human cord blood CD 34+cells was carried outusing are trovirusvec torPLJ GST πwith the aido f fibronect in .Succes sfulgenetransfer was confirmed by invitrocolony assay and RT PCR .GST πgenetrans duced human cord blood CD34+cells were the nengrafted in to 4 week old total body irradiated NOD/Scid mice and carboplatin was intraperitoneally admin is tered sequentially at 4 weeks interval 4 week saftereng raftment.Results :Peripheral blood (PB) WBC was significantly higher in GST πmice than control mice after 2 course of car boplat in .Retroviral GST π expression in bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells of recipient mice was detected by RT PCR 16 weeks after Xenotransplantation .Conclusion :The transfection of GST π gene could confer ,to some extent ,resistance to cord blood stem cells against carboplatin in vivo .
