转内皮抑制素基因治疗大鼠角膜新生血管

目的:探讨转染内皮抑制素(Endostatin)基因对酸烧伤引起的大鼠角膜新生血管的基因治疗。方法:通过限制性内切酶酶切反应、聚合酶链式反应、DNA测序及用NCBIBLAST软件与基因库序列比较的方法进行鉴定,鉴定后在大肠杆菌中扩增,用质粒纯化试剂盒抽提纯化;用750g/L硝酸银和250g/L硝酸钾混合烧灼液制作大鼠角膜新生血管模型,用结膜下注射脂质体包裹的质粒pBlast- hEndostatin来进行体内基因治疗。结果:实验证实质粒pBlast-hEndostatin含有人endostatin基因。结膜下注射脂质体包裹的质粒Tel押029-82245172Email押IJO.2000@163.compBlast-hEndostatin对酸烧伤引起的炎症性角膜新生血管有明显抑制作用,术后6,10,15d对角膜新生血管面积的抑制率分别为37%,40%,43%;对角膜新生血管密度也有明显的抑制作用,抑制率达40%。对角膜新生血管长度和角膜炎症细胞没有明显抑制作用。角膜新生血管面积与角膜水肿、角膜混浊呈正相关。结论:用结膜下注射脂质体包裹的内皮抑制素基因可以部分抑制酸烧伤引起的大鼠角膜新生血管。其作用机制是转基因产生的内皮抑制素蛋白直接抑制角膜新生血管的形成,而不是通过抑制炎症反应来抑制角膜新生血管的形成。

Anti-tumor effect of human endostatin mediated by retroviral gene transfer in nude mice

OBJECTIVE: To explore the inhibitory effect of human endostatin gene mediated by retroviral vector on the growth of human liver carcinoma. METHODS: A recombinant retroviral plasmid containing human endostatin gene and signal peptide was engineered and transferred into PA317 cells to produce retrovirus. Human liver carcinoma cells (SMMC7721) were infected with the above retrovirus to build a stable endostatin-transfected liver carcinoma cell line (SMMC-endo). The control liver carcinoma cell line (SMMC-pLncx) was developed in a similar way except that the plasmid was replaced by an empty retroviral vector. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to test the expression and secretion of human endostatin. The biological activity of the expressed human endostatin was assessed by endothelial cell proliferation assay. The growth rates of SMMC-endo and control SMMC-pLncx cells in vivo and in vitro were also observed. RESULTS: The expression and secretion of human endostatin by endostatin-transfected SMMC-endo cells were confirmed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Compared with the control group, concentrated supernatant of SMMC-endo cells remarkably inhibited the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells by 48%, significantly higher than the inhibition by the control (10.2%; P
