目的观察低氧反应元件(HRE)对低氧、复氧心肌细胞及缺血心肌转染人血管内皮生长因子165(hVEGF165)基因表达的调控作用。方法分离新生SD大鼠心肌细胞,采用不同氧条件进行培养;建立猪心肌缺血-复灌动物模型,将在HEK293T细胞包装后获得的rAVV-9HRE-hVEGF165病毒分别转染心肌细胞及动物缺血心肌。取培养心肌细胞及培养液,另取缺血区心肌组织,采用细胞免疫荧光法、酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)及Western blot方法分别测定hVEGF砌蛋白表达;逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)测定hVEGF165 mRNA表达;Ⅷ因子染色,计数缺血心肌新生血管变化。结果病毒转染率为87%;心肌细胞A、B及E组培养液中hVEGF165蛋白含量显著升高(P〈0.01),细胞免疫荧光hVEGF165蛋白染色呈阳性;RT-PCR检测显示,心肌细胞A、B及E组可见484bp目的条带;在动物整体水平,与转基因缺血组比较,转基因复灌组hVEGF165 mRNA及蛋白表达显著减弱(P〈0.01),心肌毛细血管密度亦减少。结论HRE作为氧敏感基因调控开关能有效地调控缺血心肌转染hVEGF165基因的表达。
Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxic response elements (HRE) on the expression of rAVV-gHRE-hVEGF165 transferred to cultured eardiocytes and isehemia myocardium under hypoxie and reoxygenation conditions. Methods Cardiocytes of neonatal Sprague Dawley rats were cultured and incubated with rAAV-9HRE-hVEGF165 , and pig isehemie heart models were established and rAAV- 9HRE-hVEGF165 was injected into isehemia myocardium. RT-PCR, Western blot, ELISA and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the hVEGF165 expression in cultured eardiocytes and myocardium under hypoxie and reoxygenation conditions. Results RT-PCR and ELISA revealed that, in cultured eardiocytes, the expression of hVEGF165 mRNA and protein were up-regulated under hypoxie conditions. After reoxygenation, the hVEGF165 mNRA expression was decreased (P 〈 0.01 ). RT-PCR and Western blot also showed that, under myocardial isehemia, the hVEGF165 expression was increased significantly (P 〈 0.01 ). Following myocardial reperfusion, both hVEGF165 mRNA and protein expression was inhibited (P 〈 0.01 ). The new vessels following the reperfusion were decreased. Conclusion 9HRE, can effectively control the hVEGF165 gene expression under altered oxygen conditions in vitro and in vivo.
