Abstract: Objective: To establish the dox-inducible adenoviral vector and to evaluate its ability to deliver bFGF to cells in bone tissue engineering. Methods: The adenoviral vector pAAV-S3-bFGF was constructed. Adenovirus was packaged in HEK293 cells and then infected the mouse osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1). The efficiency of infection was evaluated by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results: The recombinant adenovirus rAAV2-tet-off-bFGF was regulated by Dox. MC3T3-E1 cells could be efficiently infected. Additionally, the expression of osteogenesis-related genes was significantly increased in vitro. Conclusion: The rAAV2-tet-off-bFGF can deliver exogenous genes efficiently into MC3T3-E1 cells, and has the potential to be used in bone tissue engineering.
