ABSTRACT
Objective To compare 2 kinds of commonly used viral vectors, adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector and lentiviral (LV) vec-tor in the gene transfection for bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods MSCs were isolated with density gradient (lymphocytes seperation) and identified with HE staining and immunocytochemistory staining for Nestin. The proliferation of BMSCs was detected with BrdU labeling. AAV mediated gene transfection was carried out through recombinant AAV-LacZ viral particles. For LV medi-ated gene transfection, the LV particles were used directly. The transfection efficiency was estimated withβ-gal staining and green fluores-cent protein under the fluorescent microscope respectively. Results MSCs was successfully isolated from the bone marrow. HE staining showed that MSCs was with big nucleus, 1-3 nucleoli, and high nucleocytoplasmic ratio. BrdU labeling suggested that MSCs were prolifer-ating. Some MSCs expressed Nestin. The gene transfection efficiency mediated with AAV vector was 49.1%, and it was 91.4%with LV vec-tor (P<0.01). Conclusion The LV vector is more efficient on gene transfection than AAV vector.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the correlation of the expressions of P170,topoisomerase Ⅱ(TOPⅡ)and the proliferation in gliomas.Methods Ki-67 was used as the marker of the proliferation in gliomas.The expressions of P170,TOPⅡ and Ki-67 were tested by S-P immunohistochemical technique using monoclonal antibody to their protein in 54 cases of low-grade gliomas(WHO Ⅰ～Ⅱ grade)and 54 cases of high-grade gliomas(WHO Ⅲ～Ⅳ grade),analysis of the clinical and follow-up were performed.Results The expressions of P170,TOPⅡ and Ki-67 had significant differences between low-grade and high-grade gliomas(P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that the expression of P170 was negatively related with Ki-67(r=-0.276,P=0.019);the expression of TOPⅡ was positively related with Ki-67(r= 0.637,P<0.001);there was no correlation between the expressions of P170 and TOPⅡ.Conclusion The expressions of P170 and TOPⅡ are associated with the malignant prognosis in gliomas.
