目的验证胸苷激酶(TK)基因介导的羟甲基无环鸟苷(GCV)系统对人脑恶性神经胶质瘤基因治疗的有效性及安全性。方法从中国疱疹病毒I型(HSV-I)株(17)中分离了胸苷激酶(TKc)基因,并作了DNA序列分析,组建了含TKc基因的逆转录病毒重组载体(pLTKcSN)及其含pLTKcSN病毒的病毒生产细胞(pLTKcSN/VPC)。体外有效性试验:应用pLTKcSN/VPC与大鼠脑瘤C6细胞共培养后用GCV处理。体内有效性试验:以pLTKcSN/VPC原位注入大鼠颅内移植的C6脑瘤。安全性试验:通过小鼠、大鼠和猴植入pLTKcSN/VPC并注射GCV观察其毒副作用。结果HSV-ITKc基因与pOPFHSV-1TK基因比较有5个核苷酸和2个氨基酸的变异。pLTKcSN及其pLTKcSN/VPC,在体内外能有效地介导GCV对C6产生细胞毒作用。其病毒滴度为2×106CFU/ml。经过48只小鼠、24只大鼠和6只猴体内未见严重毒副作用和不可逆的病理改变。结论疮疹病毒胸苷激酶基因治疗脑肿瘤是有效和安全的,通过药审后可用于临床试验。
Objective To verify the efficacy and safety of thymidine kinase (TK) gene-mediated hydroxymethyl acyclovir (GCV) system for gene therapy of human brain malignant gliomas. Methods The thymidine kinase (TKc) gene was isolated from the herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) strain (17) and DNA sequence analysis was carried out. A retrovirus recombinant vector (pLTKcSN) containing the TKc gene was constructed and Virus-producing cells containing the pLTKcSN virus (pLTKcSN/VPC). In vitro efficacy test: After co-culture with rat brain tumor C6 cells, pLTKcSN/VPC was treated with GCV. In vivo efficacy assay: Intracranially implanted C6 brain tumors were injected in situ with pLTKcSN/VPC. Safety Test: pLTKcSN/VPC was implanted into mice, rats and monkeys and GCV was injected to observe its toxic side effects. Results There were 5 nucleotide and 2 amino acid variations in the HSV-ITKc gene compared to the pOPFHSV-1TK gene. pLTKcSN and its pLTKcSN/VPC can effectively mediate cytotoxicity of GCV on C6 in vitro and in vivo. Its virus titer was 2 x 106 CFU/ml. After 48 mice, 24 rats and 6 monkeys, no severe toxic side effects and irreversible pathological changes were observed. Conclusion The thymidine kinase gene of the herpes virus is an effective and safe therapy for brain tumors. It can be used in clinical trials after drug trials.
