Objective:To construct a novel chimeric fiber 5/35 modified adenoviral vector dually expressing hIL-12 and hIFN-α2a and its experimental study in vitro.Methods:By using conventional technology of molecular cloning and homologous recombination,we constructed adenoviral backbone plasmid pAd5/35-Backbone.E3-CMV-hIL-12B(p40)/E4-hIFN-α2a-eGFP with the modification of chimeric fiber Ad5/35,which carries human interleukin-12B(p40) in E3 region and an expression cassette inserted between the fiber and E4 region for expressing human interferon α2a and eGFP.In addition,the adenoviral E1 shuttle vector pAd5-E1-CMV-hIL-12A(p35) expressing hIL-12A(p35) was also constructed by molecular cloning technique.Then both the adenoviral backbone and shuttle plasmids were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The two plasmids above were linearized with PacI and co-transfected into HEK 293 cells to package the novel adenovirus.Then the U87MG cells were infected by the purified virus,and the expression of eGFP was detected 48 hours post infection by fluorescence microscopy.The expressions of hIL-12 and hIFN-α2a were demonstrated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results:The adenoviral backbone vector and the shuttle vector plasmid carrying the target gene were successfully detected by PCR.The novel adenovirus pAd5/35.E1-CMV-hIL-12A(p35)/E3-CMV-hIL-12B(p40) /E4-hIFN-α2a-eGFP was successfully constructed.The U87MG cells were infected by the virus,the expression of eGFP was detected 48 hours post infection by fluorescence microscopy,meanwhile the expression of hIL-12 and hIFN-α2a were demonstrated by RT-PCR.Conclusion:The results in vitro indicated that the fiber chimeric Ad5/35 modified adenoviral vector co-expressing hIL-12 and hIFN-α2a was successfully generated and provided a foundation for its experimental therapy in the model of glioblastoma.
