Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) plays an important role in the ligament tissue healing process, and the use of transgenic methods to transfect exogenous genes into cells can promote the secretion of bFGF.

OBJECTIVE: To observe phenotypic changes and the bFGF protein expression after bFGF recombinant adenovirus was used to transfect rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).
METHODS: Passage 2 BMSCs were divided into three groups: Ad.bFGF-eGFP group, Ad.eGFP group and control group. Under a phase contrast microscope we observed the changes in cell morphology. The expression of bFGF protein in BMSCs was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The proliferative curve was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The transfected cells showed a uniform phenotype of fibroblasts. MTT colorimetric assay revealed that more proliferative activity of transfected BMSCs was shown in the Ad.bFGF-eGFP group than in the Ad.eGFP group and control group. ELISA results showed that expression of bFGF protein was higher in the Ad.bFGF-eGFP group than in the Ad.eGFP group and control group (P < 0.05). BFGF recombinant adenovirus can induce the differentiation of BMSCs into fibroblasts, increase proliferative ability and promote the expression of bFGF protein.
