Abstract: Objective To investigate the inhibition of human complements deposition by human CD46 expression on transgenic mouse hearts.Methods The whole length cDNA encoding human CD46 was amplified by PCR using human cDNA library.The human CD46 gene was introduced into fertilized mice eggs by microinjection to produce transgenic mice expressing human CD46.Isolated hearts from two groups of mice(wild type and hCD46-expressing)were perfused ex vivo with 10% pooled human plasma by modified Langendorff profusion system.Heart function was evaluated by mean heart beating time.Deposition of complements C3c and C9 in the perfused muffne hearts was examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry respectively.Results Mean heart beating time was prolonged to 42.6±20.6 min in the hCD46 expression group(P<0.01)in contrast to 20.2 ±12.5 min in the wild type group.The expression of hCD46 in transgenic mice was detected by RTPCR analysis.In immunohistological examination,hCD46-expressing hearts exhibited a reduction in deposition of complements C9 and C3 compared with nontransgenic mouse hearts.Conclusion Human CD46 transgenic mice have been obtained by microinjection.Expression of human CD46 gene in xenografts could inhibit deposition of human complements C3c and C9.
