评估IFN-γ调控型启动子(CIITA-pIV)驱动的MHC II类分子反式激活因子突变体(MHC class II transactivator mu-tant,CIITAm)重组腺病毒Ad-pIV-CIITAm对小鼠实验性自身免疫性甲状腺炎(experimental autoimmune thyroiditis,EAT)的治疗效果...评估IFN-γ调控型启动子(CIITA-pIV)驱动的MHC II类分子反式激活因子突变体(MHC class II transactivator mu-tant,CIITAm)重组腺病毒Ad-pIV-CIITAm对小鼠实验性自身免疫性甲状腺炎(experimental autoimmune thyroiditis,EAT)的治疗效果,并探讨其可能的作用机制。34只健康雌性CBA/J小鼠随机分成CIITAm治疗组(n=9)、GFP对照组(n=9)、EAT模型组(n=8)和正常对照组(n=8)共四组。正常对照组不做特殊处理,其余三组均以猪甲状腺球蛋白(porcinethyroglobulin,pTg)+弗氏佐剂(complete or incomplete Freund adjuvant,CFA/IFA)建立EAT小鼠模型,并分别静脉注射重组腺病毒Ad-pIV-CIITAm、Ad-GFP及等体积生理盐水。首次免疫后第29天处死小鼠,进行H-E染色观察甲状腺病理形态;免疫组织化学染色测定甲状腺MHC II类分子表达;分析pTg刺激下脾脏淋巴细胞的增殖及其上清液中IFN-γ的分泌水平;ELISA法检测血浆中抗-pTg自身抗体滴度;流式细胞术分析外周血和脾脏淋巴细胞中T细胞亚群。结果:H-E染色结果表明,CIITAm治疗组甲状腺淋巴细胞浸润指数(0.5±0.5)低于GFP对照组(1.5±0.2)和EAT模型组(1.4±0.4,P<0.01)。免疫组化结果显示,GFP对照组和EAT模型组甲状腺组织有弥漫性MHC II类分子表达,而CIITAm治疗组未见明显表达,正常对照组表达呈阴性。80μg/ml pTg刺激下,CIITAm治疗组小鼠淋巴细胞刺激指数(SI)明显低于GFP对照组或EAT模型组(P<0.01);培养上清各组IFN-γ分泌水平结果类似(P<0.01)。CIITAm治疗组血浆抗-pTg自身抗体滴度显著低于GFP对照组或EAT模型组(P<0.05);CIITAm治疗组外周血和脾脏CD4+T细胞百分率亦显著低于GFP对照组或EAT模型组(P<0.05)。重组腺病毒Ad-pIV-CIITAm能抑制EAT小鼠甲状腺组织MHC II类分子表达,抑制自身反应性T细胞增殖,减轻甲状腺炎性细胞浸润,降低自身抗体滴度,对EAT有一定的治疗作用。展开更多
