Objective To construct recombinant adenovirus vector co-expressing human interleukin (hIL)-10 and green fluorescent protein (GFP) for study of the expression of genes of interest in vascular smooth muscle cells （VSMCs）. Methods hIL-10 cDNA was amplified from pUCm-T/hIL-10 cDNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and cloned into shuttle plasmid pShuttle-IRES-hrGFP-1. Kanamycin resistance screeninged for recombinant plasmids, which were linealized with PmeⅠand transformed into BJ5183-AD-1 containing pAdEasy-1 by electroporation after determining the insert’s sequence correct by NotⅠ and XholⅠdigestion， sequencing and basic local alignment search tool (BLAST). Prepared recombinant adenovirus plasmids were transformed into XL10-Gold cells. Amplified plasmids were transfected to AD-293 cells for packaging after being linearized with PacⅠ. PCR was used to determine target gene; The titer of the recombinant adenovirus was measured. VSMCs were transfected by recombinant adenovirus and viewed under fluorescence microscope. hIL-10 concentration in transfected VSMCs supernant was measured by enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Results Recombinant shuttle plasmids contained interest gene. Recombinant adenovirus had 30 kb and 3 kb fragments after digestion with PacⅠ. PCR indicated that the recombinant adenovirus contained interest gene. The titer of recombinant adenovirus was 3×10１0 efu/ml. Transfected VSMCs had GFP expression and hIL-10 concentration in supernatant was 25 ng/106 cells. Conclusion The recombinant adenovirus co-expressing hIL-10 and GFP is successfully constructed and could effectively express in VSMCs, this lays the foundation for the gene therapy of vascular intimal hyperplasia.
