Aim: To achieve stable and long-term expression of BMP-7 gene in bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs).
Methods: Retrovirus expression vector containing BMP-7 gene was constructed and transfected into packaging cells PT67. After puromycin selection and cells cloning, cell clones producing high level of recombinant virus were obtained. The viruses were used to infect directly BMSCs and the expression of BMP-7 gene in BMSCs was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining.
Results: Retrovirus vector containing BMP-7 gene was successfully reconstructed and BMP-7 was expressed in the BMSCs.The transfection rates was about 30%-40%.
Conclusion: The construction of recombinant retrovirus vector containing BMP-7 gene can provide a reliable tool for the formation of bone or cartilage seed cells in the research of tissue engineering.

The repair of critical-sized bone defects represents significant clinical challenge. An alternative approach is the use of 3D composite scaffolds to support bone regeneration. Hydroxyapatite (HA) and tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP), combined with polycaprolactone (PCL), offer promising mechanical resistance and biocompatibility.

Bone is a common and debilitating site for metastatic cancer cell expansion. Skeletal metastasis is a multistage process, with primary stages of circulating tumour cells, progressing to a dormant state in vasculature and bone marrow niches, followed by tumourigenic reactivation, proliferation and finally bone destruction. The frequency of bone metastasis is reconciled in Paget's 'seed and soil' hypothesis, where a conducive microenvironment (bone niche) is essential for cancer cell colonisation.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has an extremely poor prognosis, due in part to early invasion and metastasis, which in turn involves epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the cancer cells. Prompted by the discovery that two PDAC cell lines of the quasi-mesenchymal subtype (PANC-1, MIA PaCa-2) exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), we asked whether NED is associated with EMT. Using real-time PCR and immunoblotting, we initially verified endogenous expressions of various NED markers, i.

Background: Inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity is considered a significant factor contributing to the development of endocrine resistance in breast cancer. Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell ATAC sequencing (scATAC-seq) allow us to explore inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity at single-cell resolution. However, such integrated single-cell analysis has not yet been demonstrated to characterize the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility in breast cancer endocrine resistance.
