Efficient Transduction of Feline Neural Progenitor Cells for Delivery of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Using a Feline Immunodeficiency Virus-Based Lentiviral Construct

Figure 6

Expression profiles of cNPCs before and after transduction. The relative impact of GDNF overexpression on transcript expression levels was evaluated using qPCR analyses for a profile of 32 genes, which included -actin as a housekeeping gene. Lenti-GDNF-GFP vector transduced cNPCp20 cells were compared to nontransduced cNPCp20 cells (with nontransduced cells set to 1.00). GDNF transcript level was over 14,000-fold higher in transduced versus nontransduced cells (note that -axis has break to accommodate value). The value for GDNF was vastly greater than any other changes in transcript level across the profile examined.
