The expression of the human proenkephalin (hPPE) gene in engineered hBMSCs (c) was analyzed by RT-PCR two weeks (passage 3) after cell transfer. hBMSCs, human bone marrow stem cells; pBABE, a retroviral vector; pBABE-hBMSCs, the pBABE-hBMSCs group; hPPE-hBMSCs, the hPPE-hBMSCs group. Naive hBMSCs (a) and vector-engineered hBMSCs (b) served as controls, and hPPE RT-PCR products (161 bp) were expressed as the hPPE/GADPH (450 bp, an internal control) ratio. Statistical analysis showed significantly upregulated hPPE expression in hPPE-hBMSCs compared with hBMSCs and pBABE-hBMSCs (P < 0.01). *P < 0.01 versus normal hBMSCs and #P < 0.01 versus pBABE-hBMSCs, n = 6.
