pIRES2-FL-IL-3 transfection promotes proliferation of cord blood stem cells
Objective To observe the proliferation of cord blood stem cells and detect their mRNA and protein levels of FL and IL3 after transfection of plasmid vector pIRES2-FL-IL-3. Methods The cell survival rate and proliferation of the cord blood stem cells were observed by dye staining and MTT methods after transfected by plasmid vector pIRES2-IL-3
pIRES2-FL or pIRES2-FL-IL-3. The mRNA and protein levels of FL and IL-3 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results No statistical difference on cell survival rate of cord blood stem cells was observed between those transfected by plasmid vector pIRES2-FL-IL-3 and their corresponding controls. The cell proliferation of cord blood stem cells transfected by pIRES2-FL-IL-3 was higher than those transfected by pIRES2-IL-3 or pIRES2-FL. The mRNA and protein levels of FL and IL-3 in the cord blood stem cells transfected by pIRES2-FL-IL-3 were higher than those in the normal cord blood stem cells
and those transfected pIRES2-IL-3 group or pIRES2-FL respectively. Conclusion The transfection of pIRES2-FL-IL-3 to the cord blood stem cells does not influence the cell survival rate but accelerates their proliferation. FL and IL-3 co-expression displays synergic effect on the proliferation of cord blood stem cells.
