目的观察重组Galectin-9腺病毒对小鼠心脏移植物生存期及调节性T(Treg)细胞分化和增殖的影响。方法建立小鼠心脏移植模型,随机均分为3组(n=10):对照组(术后用0.9%NaCl溶液)、空腺病毒组、重组Galectin-9腺病毒组,记录心脏移植物生存时间,于移植心停搏或术后14d取脾,分离单个核细胞,流式细胞仪检测CD4+CD25+Treg细胞比例。ELISA法检测外周血IL-10、TGF-β1浓度。结果与对照组、空腺病毒组相比,重组Galectin-9腺病毒组心脏移植物生存时间明显升高(P〈0.01),重组Galectin-9腺病毒组CD4+CD25+Treg细胞比例明显升高(P〈0.01)。重组Galectin-9腺病毒组IL-10、TGF-β1的含量明显高于对照组及空腺病毒组(P〈0.01)。结论重组Galectin-9腺病毒能促进体内CD4+CD25+Treg细胞的分化与增殖,明显提高小鼠心脏移植物的生存时间。
Objective To explore the influence of adenovirus carrying Galectin-9 gene on the survival of cardiac transplant and the differentiation and proliferation of CD4+CD25+Treg cells in mice receiving heterotopic heart transplantation.Methods Neck heterotopic heart transplantation models were established with male BALB/c→C57BL/6 mice by Cuff method,and they were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10):control group (received 0.9% sodium chloride solution after operation),adenovirus group,and pAdeasyTM Galectin-9 treatment group.The survival time of the graft hearts was recorded.The spleens of mice were collected when the graft hearts stopped beating or 14 days after operation;the mononuclear cells were isolated and the proportion of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells was determined by flow cytometry.Treg cell related cytokines (IL-10,TGF-β1) in the peripheral blood were assayed by ELISA.Results The cardiac allografts in pAdeasyTM Galectin-9 group survived significantly longer than those in the other two groups (P0.01),and the proportion of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in CD4 + T cells was significantly higher(P0.01).The levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1 were increased in pAdeasyTM Galectin-9 group compared with control group and adenovirus group(P0.01).Conclusion pAdeasyTM Galectin-9 can promote the proliferation and differentiation of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in vivo,and can greatly improve the survival time of cardiac allograft after heart transplantation in mice.
