Abstract

Aim: Adenoviral gene transfer remains a powerful tool for basic research purposes. We hypothesize that adenoviral transduction of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in vitro can be improved by refined use of experimental parameters. Methods: hMSCs were transduced by adenoviral vectors encoding Luciferase or BMP-2 at a selection of multiplicities of infection (MOI) and exposure times. Transgene production and total protein content were measured. To determine practical relevance, expression of the bone marker genes Runx2 and Type I collagen was analyzed by quantitative PCR. As a phenotypic marker alkaline phosphatase was assessed. ANOVA and post hoc statistical analyses were used to determine differences among data (p < 0.05). Results: Prolonged exposure led to a decrease in transgene production and total protein content. Increasing MOI at exposure of up to 4 hours resulted in a higher production of the transgene. Transfer of the hBMP-2 gene promoted an enhanced lineage progression to the osteoblast phenotype indicating biological activity. Conclusion: Time of exposure is of major importance for toxicity in vitro and should not exceed 4 hours for hMSC. While increase in exposure time leads to cell death, surviving cells, up to a certain limit, seem to compensate by increasing production of the transgene indicating that transduction efficiency cannot be positively measured in a binary yes-or-no scheme.
