چکیده

objective(s) mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. human mesenchymal stem cells (hmscs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. the aim of this study was establishment of mscs expressing gfp. materials and methods mscs were isolated and characterized by immunophenotyping. the pegfp-n1 plasmid was extracted from previously transformed escherichia. coli cells and transfected into mscs using fugene hd transfection reagent. stable cells were established in the presence of geneticin. expression of gfp was detected by rt- pcr, western blot analysis and immunoflorecent microscope. results mscs were successfully isolated and characterized. the mscs transfected with the pegfp-n1 plasmid expressed gfp both in mrna and protein levels while cells transfected with empty vector did not. conclusion the results suggested that this engineered cell line will be used in the future studies and can easily be traced in vivo.

Genetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stably Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein

Objective(s) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy.

Genetically engineered mesenchymal stem cells: applications in spine therapy.

Spine disorders and intervertebral disc degeneration are considered the main causes for the clinical condition commonly known as back pain. Spinal fusion by implanting autologous bone to produce bony bridging between the two vertebrae flanking the degenerated-intervertebral disc is currently the most efficient treatment for relieving the symptoms of back pain. However, donor-site morbidity, com...

Derivation and cloning of a novel rhesus embryonic stem cell line stably expressing tau-green fluorescent protein.

Embryonic stem cells (ESC) have the ability of indefinite self-renewal and multilineage differentiation, and they carry great potential in cell-based therapies. The rhesus macaque is the most relevant preclinical model for assessing the benefit, safety, and efficacy of ESC-based transplantations in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. In the case of neural cell grafting, tracing both th...

Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Expressing Baculovirus-Engineered Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 Enhance Rabbit Posterolateral Fusion

Previous studies have suggested that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMDMSCs) genetically modified with baculoviral bone morphogenetic protein-2 (Bac-BMP-2) vectors could achieve successful fusion in a femur defect model or in a spinal fusion model. In this study, BMDMSCs expressing BMP-7 (Bac-BMP-7-BMDMSCs) were generated. We hypothesized that Bac-BMP-7-BMDMSCs could secrete more B...

Use of green fluorescent protein to monitor survival of genetically engineered bacteria in aquatic environments.

Many methods for detecting model genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) in experimental ecosystems rely on cultivation of introduced cells. In this study, survival of Escherichia coli was monitored with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene. This approach allowed enumeration of GEMs by both plating and microscopy. Use of the GFP-marked GEMs revealed that E. coli persisted in stream wat...

Development of a genetically marked recombinant rinderpest vaccine expressing green fluorescent protein.

In order to effectively control and eliminate rinderpest, a method is required to allow serological differentiation between animals that have been vaccinated and those which have recovered from natural infection. One way of doing this would be to engineer the normal vaccine to produce a genetically marked rinderpest virus (RPV) vaccine. We constructed two modified cDNA clones of the RPV RBOK va...
