Objective: To transfect the hVEGF165 gene plasmid into adult skeletal myoblasts and to investigate the expression and secretion of hVEGF165 gene and the biological activity of hVEGF165 protein in transfected myoblasts. Methods: The myoblasts were isolated from human skeletal muscle with two steps combined dissociation,then the harvested myoblasts were purified by the method of different attachment. The plasmid pcDNA3.1-VEGF165 was transfected into myoblasts in free medium mediated by Lipefectin 2000. After being cultured for 48 h, the transcription and expression of hVEGF165 gene in transfected myoblasts were detected by RT-PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis analysis, and the hVEGF165 protein level in supernatant of transfected myoblasts culture was determined by western blot and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The biological activity of hVEGF165 protein was tested by observing the growth rate of the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) after being stimulated with the above supernatant, and by performing the Mile’s assay in Kunming rats. Results: Adult myoblasts were successfully isolated and cultured in vitro steadily and rapidly. With Lipefectin 2000, the hVEGF165 gene in plasmid pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165 was successfully transfected into cultured myoblasts in vitro. These transfected cells could secrete hVEGF165 protein to certain extent, with biological activities to enhance the growth of HUVEC in vitro and improve vascular permeability. Conclusion: Adult myoblasts in vitro transfected with exogenetic hVEGF165 cDNA can express and secrete active hVEGF165.
