目的:探讨溶瘤腺病毒(ZD55-gene)作为载体携带外源抗癌基因(黝州)抗肝癌移植瘤的生长及其安全性。方法:抽提溶瘤腺病毒ZD55-XAF1的基因组DNA,PCR扩增鉴定病毒;细菌平板培养和支原体检测试剂盒检测细胞有无细菌、支原体污染;通过荷瘤小鼠动物实验,观察溶瘤腺病毒ZD55-XAF1对肝癌移植瘤生长的抑制、小鼠的临床反应指标、血清肝毒性指标、各脏器组织中的病毒残留分布及病理切片观察。结果:细胞培养过程无细菌和支原体污染;较对照组,受试小鼠血清肝酶AST活性上升(P〈0.05),而ALT和ALP活性基本无变化(P〉0.05);PCR检测各脏器均有病毒基因组DNA存在;HE染色显示受试小鼠各脏器具有不同程度的损伤,病毒处理对肿瘤细胞具有明显的杀伤效果,而受试小鼠的临床反应并无明显异常。结论:溶瘤腺病毒ZD55-XAF1能够抑制肿瘤生长,杀死肿瘤细胞,对小鼠血清肝酶活性影响较小而对各脏器有不同程度的轻微损伤,作为癌症基因治疗载体有潜在的应用价值但其安全性还有待提高。
Purpose:To investigate the safety in oncolytic adenovirus (ZD55-gene) as a vector, introducing antitumor gene ( XAF1 ) at the process of cancer therapy. Methods : Genomic DNA of oncolytic adenovirus ZD55- XAF1 was extracted and PCR was used to identify the ZD55-XAF1;To measure the bacteria and inycoplasma contamination during cell culture, supernatant was cultivated in LB solid medium and mycoplasma was tested by detection kits; After intravenous injection of ZD55-XAF1, several indicators were evaluated, including antitumor activity of ZD55-XAF1, clinical responses of the mice, levels of serum enzymes ALT, AST and ALP, residual and distribution of the virus in tissues, HE staining of various organs. Results : No contamination was found during cell culture, which were used for virus amplification. Except the AST, the levels of serum enzymes were normal( P 〉 0.05). Residual and distribution of the virus in tissue stayed normal. But HE staining showed damage on mice organs and tumor was suppressed. Conclusion:Oncolytic adenovirus ZD55-XAF1 can effectively suppress tumor growth and viability of tumor cells with little impact on serum enzymes . But hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining showed different degrees of damage on mice organs. Oncolytic adenovirus as a vector for cancer gene therapy has potential applied value but its safety needs to be improved.
