Transfection of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor gene promotes neuronal differentiation

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor recombinant adenovirus vector-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells using inductive medium containing retinoic acid and epidermal growth factor. Cell viability, micro- tubule-associated protein 2-positive cell ratio, and the expression levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and growth-associated protein-43 protein in the su- pernatant were significantly higher in glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with empty virus plasmid-transfected bone marrow mes- enchymal stem cells. Furthermore, microtubule-associated protein 2, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and growth-associated protein743 mRNA levels in cell pellets were statistically higher in glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor/bone marrow mesen- chymal stem cells compared with empty virus plasmid-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. These results suggest that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have a higher rate of induction into neuron-like cells, and this enhanced differentiation into neuron-like cells may be associated with up-regulated expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and growth-associated protein-43.

pLXSN-GDNF重组载体的鉴定及其包装细胞系的建立

目的 鉴定携带大鼠胶质细胞源性神经营养因子（glial cell line—derived neurotrophic factor，GDNF）的重组逆转录病毒载体（pLXSN—GDNF），并建立包装细胞系。方法 采用脂质体包裹法进行pLXSN—GDNF质粒PA317细胞的包装、G418抗性筛选及病毒液提取，PCR及RT—PCR进行重组逆转录病毒的鉴定，NIH3T3细胞进行逆转录病毒颗粒滴度测定。结果 pLXSN-GDNF质粒测序结果与GeneBank中序列一致，所测DNA序列位于pLXSN多克隆位点Xho I。采用pLXSN—GDNF质粒转染包装细胞PA317，获得G418抗性细胞，RT—PCR证实其培养上清含有重组逆转录病毒，采用NIH3T3细胞测定病毒滴度为10^4～10^5CFU／ml。结论 pLXSN—GDNF结构正确，GDNF基因序列完整；并成功建立了pLXSN-GDNF的包装细胞系。

GDNF基因逆转录病毒表达载体的构建及转染神经干细胞的研究

应用基因重组技术将大鼠GDNF cDNA克隆到逆转录病毒载体pLXSN中,经酶切及PCR对重组质粒进行鉴定。将重组体包装到PA317细胞中,并感染增殖旺盛的大鼠神经干细胞,通过免疫细胞化学、RT-PCR和western-blot等方法鉴定转染效率。结果显示GDNF cDNA正确地克隆到逆转录病毒载体pLXSN中,该真核细胞表达载体成功转染增殖旺盛的神经干细胞并有效表达。因此本研究成功构建了GDNF真核细胞表达载体,并成功转染到神经干细胞中。为移植替代和基因治疗神经系统疾病提供了实验基础。
