This study was purposed to investigate the effects of viral vector-mediated gene transfer of platelet factor 4 (PF4) or 17-70 cDNA on cell growth of multiple myeloma (MM) in vivo. Full length and p17-70 cDNA of PF4 were cloned into virapower system to transfect packing cell line 293 and produce lentiviral vectors. 3 multiple myeloma cell lines were transferred platelet factor 4 or 17-70 cDNA by lentiviral vectors. SCID-rab mice models of multiple myeloma were established by injecting U266 multiple myeloma cells selected. The human light chain proteins and VEGF in serums of mice were detected every 2 weeks. The volumes and vascular density of tumors as well as survival time of mice were observed. The results showed that the MM cells expressing foreign genes were identified and screened. There were significant difference of VEGF levels in the supernatants of MM cells between each groups (p<0.01). The SCID-rab models of U266 cells were established successfully. There were significant differences in light chain protein and VEGF in serums among three groups (p<0.01). The light chain protein and VEGF in mice serums of 17-70 cDNA groups were less than that of PF4 group (p<0.01). The light chain protein and VEGF in mice serums of PF4 group were less than that of control group (p<0.01). There were significant differences in the tumor volumes and the vascular density of tumor among 3 groups (p<0.05). The results also showed that there were significant differences of overall survival in 3 different groups of SCID-rab MM models. The overall survival in control group was shortest as compared with other groups (p<0.05). It is concluded that the cell growth of multiple myeloma is suppressed in vivo by transfection of platelet factor 4 or 17-70 cDNA and the overall survival of transfected mice will be prolonged.

D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures.

D010978 Platelet Factor 4 A CXC chemokine that is found in the alpha granules of PLATELETS. The protein has a molecular size of 7800 kDa and can occur as a monomer, a dimer or a tetramer depending upon its concentration in solution. Platelet factor 4 has a high affinity for HEPARIN and is often found complexed with GLYCOPROTEINS such as PROTEIN C.

D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D016513 Mice, SCID Mice homozygous for the mutant autosomal recessive gene "scid" which is located on the centromeric end of chromosome 16. These mice lack mature, functional lymphocytes and are thus highly susceptible to lethal opportunistic infections if not chronically treated with antibiotics. The lack of B- and T-cell immunity resembles severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) syndrome in human infants. SCID mice are useful as animal models since they are receptive to implantation of a human immune system producing SCID-human (SCID-hu) hematochimeric mice.
