It was found that antithrombin Ⅲ activity decreased obviously 12 h after blood drawing. It lost 56 % of the activity at the 3rd day, and 70 % of the activity at the 7th day. FⅧ:c showed no obvious change after 24 h, until the 3rd day. It lost 40 %-60 % of the activity after 36 h and was reduced to the 30 % of the original activity at the 5th day. Our results suggested that at the 3rd day coagulation factor Ⅷ of bank stored blood can be used to replenish antithrombin Ⅲ, while bank stored blood in one day can be used to replenish FⅧ.展开更多

Methods: Based on the cloning and structural analysis of the genomic DNA fragment of coagulation factor IX gene from 129Sv mouse genomic DNA A phage library, PMFIXDEL plasmid was designed with positive-negative-selection (PNS) strategy, and constructed with commonmolecular cloning techniques. Structure of PMFIXDEL was identified by PCR and restriction analysis. Afterelectroporation with the linearized PMFIXDEL DNA, transfected ES cells were cultured in G418/GANC drugselection medium. The recombination efficacy of this vector was tested. Results: The main components ofPMFIXDEL were two copies of negative selection gene (HSV-tk expression cassette), a positive selectiongene (Neo expression cassette), long and short homologous fragments and plasmid backbone. The introduction of negative selection gene (HSV-tk ) into the construct resulted in 24-fold increase of selection.Conclusion: An effective replacement vector for mFIX gene targeting was constructed and applied in ES cell.展开更多

The capacities of the transgenic cells in producing re combinant FIX were compared in the levels of intracellular and secreted FIX protein as well as FIX mRNA in primary muscle cells and C2C12 cells. Results:Both primary muscle cells and C2C12 cells can efficiently trans late and process FIX protein. Myotubes derived from the SCID-MB produced 1 800~2 000 ng FIX/106 cells/ 24 h in culture with specific activity of 95% ~ 103%. C2C12 cells can synthesize and process recombinant FIX as efficiently as primary muscle cells,but their secretion ability is less efficient in comparison with primary cells. Conclusion:This observation indicates that primary cells should be used in gene therapy related research projects and care should be taken while explaining the results derived from established cell lines.展开更多

The frequencies of FⅦ genotypes or alleles did not show significant differences between the CAD group and the controls or between the males and the females. The frequencies of carriers of the Gln 353 allele and (Arg/Gln+Gln/Gln) genotypes were significantly higher in the CAD patients without MI than in those with MI ( P =0.031,odds ratio 0.37,95% CI: 0.15-0.94). However,HVR4 polymorphisms were not significantly different between the two groups ( P >0.05).Conclusion Carrying the F Ⅶ Gln 353 gene may be a protective factor against MI in the Chinese Hans.展开更多

Methods The LNC-FⅧBD retroviral vector was generated by cloning a human B-domain-deleted (760aa~1639aa) Factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) cDNA (FⅧ cDNA BD) into the retroviral vector pLNCX. Several mammalian cell lines, including NIH3T3, CHO, Cos-7 and human hepatic cell line, L-02, were transduced with viral supernatant from the highest virus-producing PA317 clone. Antigen and coagulant activity of human FⅧ in cell culture medium were measured by ELISA and a one-stage method, respectively. RT-PCR was performed for the detection of FⅧBD mRNA. Results Human FⅧ was expressed in all four target cells, with the highest FⅧ expression observed in NIH3T3. The coagulant activity of secreted FⅧ was up to 1.6U/106 cells*24?hrs-1, and the FⅧ antigen was 500?ng/106 cells*24?hrs-1. FⅧ coagulant activity and antigen expressed by transduced CHO cells were 0.12?U/106 cells*24?hrs-1 and 62.4?ng/106 cells*24?hrs-1, respectively. Human FⅧ expression was relatively low in Cos-7 and L-02 cells. RT-PCR results demonstrated transcription of FⅧcDNA BD in the target cells.Conclusions The constructed retroviral vector was able to direct high level expression of human FⅧ in various mammalian cell lines. It has potential utility in the future gene therapy for Hemophilia A.展开更多

We sought to increase the amount of spliced FVIII protein and plasma coagulation activity in dual-vector FVIII transgene in mice by means of strengthening the interaction of inteins, protein splicing elements, thereby facilitating protein trans-splicing. Dual-vector delivery of the FVIII gene in cultured cells showed that replacement of Met226 in the heavy chain and Asp1828 in the light chain with Cys residues could facilitate inter-chain disulfide linking and improve protein trans-splicing, increasing the levels of spliced FVIII protein. In this study, C57BL/6 mice were coadministered dual vectors of intein-fused human FVIII heavy chain and light chain with Cys mutations via portal vein injection into the liver. Forty-eight hours post-injection, plasma was collected and analyzed for FVIII antigen concentration and coagulation activity. These mice showed increased circulating FVIII heavy chain polypeptide (442± 151 ng mL i vs. 305±103 ng mL-1) and coagulation activi- ty (1.46±0.37 IU mL i vs. 0.85±0.23 IU mL-1) compared with control mice co-administered dual vectors expressing the heavy and light chains of wild-type FVIII. Moreover, coagulation activity was similar to that of mice receiving a single vector ex- pressing FVIII (1.79_+0.59 IU mL-l). These findings indicate that improving protein trans-splicing by inter-chain disulfide bonding is a promising approach for increasing the efficacy of dual-vector based FVIII gene transfer.展开更多

The type of mutation plays an important role in the FVIII inhibitor formation. To date, several studies on the spectra of F8 defects have been performed in Western populations, but similar studies in Asian races are scarce. Here, we reported the distribution of the F8 gene mutations in 18 unrelated Chinese patients with HA. Methods Intron 22 and intron 1 inversions in the F8 gene were screened in 158 unrelated patients with HA using a long-distance PCR and multiplex PCR method. Direct sequencing of the coding region of the F8 gene was used to identify the mutations responsible for HA in 18 unrelated Chinese HA patients who were negative for intron 22 and intron 1 inversions; sequences were compared with the HAMSTERS database. A clotting method was used to assay the FⅧ activity level and the Bethesda assay was used to detect the FⅧ inhibitor. Results A total of 18 different HA F8 mutations were identified, seven of which were described for the first time. These novel mutations included five small deletions, one point mutation and one small insertion. One novel mutation (4382-3 AC deletion) was associated with inhibitor development. Conclusion These data extend our insight into the mechanisms by which novel amino acid mutations may lead to HA and how the HA patient genotypes influence the risk of FⅧ inhibitor.展开更多
