Objective To detect the expression of human transforming growth factor β₁ (hTGF-β₁) gene mediated by adenovirus (Ad) in hamstring tendon after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in rabbits. Methods Ad-hTGF-β₁ and Ad-green fluorescent protein (GFP) were diluted to 5×10⁸ PFU/mL with DMEM. Forty-eight New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 3 groups randomly (n=16) for ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft. Hamstring tendon was cultured and transfected with Ad-hTGF-β₁ (group A) and Ad-GFP (group B) for 12 hours before ACL reconstruction, and was cultured with DMEM in group C. After 12 hours of transfection, green fluorescence was observed in groups A and B under fluorescence microscopy. At 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after operation, the hamstring tendon was harvested to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of hTGF-β₁ by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot. Results Green fluorescence was observed after 12 hours of transfection in groups A and B. TGF-β₁ protein level reached (221.0±12.2) ng/mL at 12 hours in group A. The hTGF-β₁ mRNA expression could be detected in group A, but it could not be detected in group B and group C. The mRNA expression levels of hTGF-β₁ were 1.004±0.072 at 2 weeks, 0.785±0.038 at 4 weeks, 0.469±0.053 at 6 weeks, and 0.172±0.021 at 8 weeks in group A, showing significant difference (P<0.05). Western blot results showed weakly positive band in groups B and C; the protein expression of TGF-β₁ in group A was significantly higher than that in groups B and C (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between groups B and C P>0.05). The protein expression of TGF-β₁ gradually reduced with time, showing significant difference between different time points (P<0.05). Conclusion Ad-hTGF-β₁ can transfect the hamstring tendon successfully, and it can effectively express for a long time after ACL reconstruction.
