[RelB silencing in mouse bone-marrow derived dendritic cells mediated by lentiviral vector]
Aim:
To silence RelB gene in mouse bone-marrow derived dendritic cells (DC) utilizing lentiviral vector, a novel tolerogenic dendritic cell with a relatively low expression level RelB was constructed and a new way to treat and prevent autoimmune diseases was explored.
Methods:
Interferential targeting sequence R5 of RelB in mice was designed, synthesized and cloned into lentiviral vectors. Together with viral packaging materials were co-cultured in 293FT cell line to package lentiviral vector. Supernatant fluids were harvested, then virus titer detected. Mouse bone marrow derived DCs were infected by lentivirus particle. RelB gene expression level was detected by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining and analyzed by software of geo pro. There are three experiment control groups including immature DC, mature DC and DC infected by a negative independent control of T6.
Results:
A similar RelB expression was detected by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining assay between DC infected virus R5 and immature DC, but was lower than that of mature DC. Significant difference in statistics P < 0.05. A similar RelB expression was detected by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining approaches between DC infected virus T6 and mature DC, but was higher than that of immature DC. Significant difference in statistics P < 0.05.
Conclusion:
RelB gene expressed by mouse bone marrow derived DC was silenced by Lentivirus vector effectively. The lentivirus vector with a low immunogenicity can be used to immunotherapy in vivo and overcome difficult transfection problem of primary DC. A new viral vector of DC immunotherapy can be obtained.
