培养基配方：

 

实验流程简介：

1. 使用pmaxGFP质粒进行进行预实验，优化HUVEC细胞核转条件；

2. 检测核转条件对HUVEC细胞的Tube formation是否有影响；

3. 转染siRNA，确定对细胞活力影响最小的最佳浓度，确定检测蛋白表达降低的最佳时间点；

4. 评价siRNA对HUVEC细胞Tube Formation的影响。

 

实验结果：

图1. HUVEC细胞转染GFP质粒，转染效率约为82%，对细胞形态无明显影响：

图2. HUVEC细胞进行核转后，对Tube formation无明显影响：

图3. Anti-VEGFR2 siRNA转染后的细胞对VEGF无反应，证明siRNA发挥作用。
