Gene transfer with recombinant non-viral vectors encoding vasodilator proteins, such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), maybe a preferential choice in gene therapy of artery restenosis following angioplasty, stent or anastomosis. However, the transfection rate of a non-viral vector, the harmful effects of eNOS transfection on endothelial cells (EC) and the control release of nitric oxide (NO) have been controversial. We designed the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-eNOS to study the regulated expression of eNOS (in the presence of various chemical agents) and to evaluate the exogenous NO effect on EC proliferation in vitro.
