Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Kallikrein 1 is an important component of the kallikrein-kinin system. Studies have shown that kallikrein can protect the cardiovascular system by promoting angiogenesis and inhibiting myocardial inflammation, but there is no report on its effect on inducing differentiation of stem cells.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the transfection efficiency of kallikrein 1 adenoviral vector in rat bone mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: Using adenovirus as a vector, the target gene kallikrein 1 was transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Fluorescence microscopy, MTT method and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effect of transfection and determine the optimal multiplicity of infection.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Adenovirus carrying kallikrein 1 was successfully transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Results from flow cytometry showed that the transfection efficiency was associated with the multiplicity of infection. When the multiplicity of infection was 150, the transfection efficiency was 80.8%. MTT results showed that when the multiplicity of infection was 200, the cell growth was inhibited remarkably. These findings indicate that adenovirus-mediated kallikrein 1 can be successfully transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with the optimal multiplicity of infection=150.
