Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that the transplantation of modified cell lines exhibit analgesic effect. But little is reported on the biological characteristics of human preproenkephalin gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell lines.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the biological characteristics of human preproenkephalin gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured to establish human preproenkephalin gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell lines.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After freezing-thawing, passage 4 human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-pBABE and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-human preproenkephalin exhibited no significant changes in the cell viability (P > 0.05), as well as in the fat cell proportion after adipogenic induction (P > 0.05). Moreover, red calcium deposition was presented in all these cells by alizarin red staining after osteogenic induction. Flow cytometry results showed that passage 4 human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-pBABE and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-human preproenkephalin could express CD29 and CD44, but not express CD34 and CD45. Human preproenkephalin genes were highly expressed in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-pBABE, but lowly expressed in passage 4 human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Additionally, recombinant plasmid pBABE-preproenkephalin-modified human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could express enkephalin protein. In conclusion, human preproenkephalin gene-modified human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell lines can maintain the pluripotent differentiation or proliferation capacity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and secrete enkephalin protein.
