Abstract

To investigate the feasibility of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) as the target cell of adenovirus-mediated co-transduction of BMP2 and BMP7 genes and then facilitate the expression of recombinant BMP2/7 heterodimer protein. 3 adult male Fischer 344 rats of about 10 weeks of age were used for harvest and in vitro culture of rat BMSCs. Recombinant adenovirus vector carrying BMP2 or BMP7 target genes were constructed with AdMax vector system, and production of high-titer adenoviruses were packaged with HEK293T cells and then concentrated with CSCl2 density-gradient ultra-centrifugation. Rat BMSCs from passage 3 were seeded in 6-well plates at the concentration of 10 000 cells/cm2.After overnight pre-culture, BMSCs were allowed to culture in 200 μl serum-free alpha MEM containing both Ad-BMP2 and Ad-BMP7 adenovirus (100 MOI of each virus). After 7 days in vitro culture, conditioned cell culture supernatants were collected and followed by immunoprecipitation through immune protein G columns pre-loaded with mouse anti-human BMP7 antibody. The resulted protein immune-precipitates were used to assay the expression of BMP2/7 heterodimers via Western Blot and ELISA assay. As a negative control, Rat BMSCs were also genetic...Continue Reading

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
