Objective To study whether the porcine endothelial cells (PECs) lines transfected by HLA-G1 can alter the lysis mediated by human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and natural killer cell 92(NK-92). Methods By use of liposomes pack, the pcDNA3.0 eukaryotic expression vector carrying HLA-G1 was transfected into PECs. Using indirect immunofluorescence and RT-PCR assays, the HLA-G1 expression in PECs was detected. The alteration of the lysis mediated by PBMC and NK-92 was detected by51Cr-release assays. Results HLA-G1 expression could be detected in PECs after transfection of HLA-G1 at the levels of protein andRNA. It also could be found that the survival rate of transfected PECs was muchhigher than that of non-transfected PECs, when both of them faced the lysismediated by human PBMC and NK-92.After transfecting the expression of HLA-G1 could be found in the transfected PECs and the lysis mediated by PBMC and NK-92 to PECs decreased obviously (P lt;0.05). Conclusion The PECs- transfected by HLAG1 can decrease the NK lysis, so that it may provide us a new thought to inhibit the xeno-cell-rejection.
