Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor is the most important pro-angiogenic factor, which can promote revascularization and survival of fat grafts during fat transplantation.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 transfection on the proliferation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: Recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor 165 mRNA fragment was transmitted into adenovirus pAdEasy-1 systems that were packaged to measure viral titer (experimental group). Empty adenovirus was also packaged as control group. Two kinds of packaged adenovirus solution were transferred into adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells at the best multiplicity of infection=100. Cells with no transfection served as blank group. RT-PCR and western blot methods were used to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 at mRNA and protein levels; MTT method was adopted to detect cell proliferation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control and blank groups (P < 0.05). The division and proliferation of transfected adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were increased significantly in the experimental group, which was significantly different from the control and blank groups (P < 0.05). These finding indicate that vascular endothelial growth factor 165 transfection cannot only sustain the target protein expression of adipose- derived mesenchymal stem cells, but also promote the proliferation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells remarkably.
