  • An Improved Technique of Construction of Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus 2 Mediated Gene Transfer to TIMP1 and Identification

    Objective To use an improved technique to construct the recombinant adeno-associated virus 2 (rAAV2) mediated gene which can transfer human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1). Methods Human TIMP1 gene was amplified from pDNR-LIB plasmid by PCR and cloned into the rAAV2 vector pSNAV to recombinant pSNAV-TIMP1, then was transferred into BHK-21 cells by means of lipofectamine. Using G418 selection, a mixed cell named BHK-21/rAAV2-TIMP1 was isolated, which was capable to express TIMP1. The cell was subsequently infected with recombinant herpes simplex virus 1 (rHSV1-rc/△UL2) that was able to package the rAAV2-TIMP1. After purification, rAAV2-TIMP1 was obtained. Results The rAAV2 carrying human TIMP1 gene was constructed successfully. The viral titer of the rAAV2-TIMP1 was 1×1012 v.g./ml. Conclusion rAAV2-TIMP1 was constructed successfully, which would provide experimental basis for carrying the TIMP1 into hepatocellular carcinoma effectively and inhibiting the invasiveness and migratory capacity of hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and in vivo models.

  • THE RESEARCH ON THE RECOMBINANT ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS AS A VECTOR FOR THE GENE THERAPY OF LIVER CANCER

    Objective To explore the feasibility of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) as a vector for the gene therapy of liver cancer. Methods The rAAV/enhance green fluorescein protein (EGFP) recombinant was prepared by the routine method of two plasmids cotransfection.Results The experiment showed that one 10cm plate could produce 107-108 infection unit recombinant by the method of two plasmids cotransfection, and the transduction of HepG2 cell was increased with the increase of infection dosage of rAAV. About 100 multiplicity of infection (MOI) AAV vector could make all the tumor cell light. Conclusion Liver cancer cell can be efficiently transduced by rAAV, and AAV vector may be a valuable vector for the gene therapy of liver cancer.

  • STUDY ON BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF RECOMBINANT ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS VECTOR COEXPRESSINGHUMAN VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR 165 AND HUMAN BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 7 GENES IN VITRO

    Objective To study the biological activity of recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (rAAV) coexpressing human vascular endothel ial growth factor165 (hVEGF165) and human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (hBMP-7) genes in vitro so as to provide a new method for the therapeutics of osteonecrosis. Methods The 3rd passage rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were transfected with rAAV-hVEGF165-internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-hBMP-7(experimental group) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled rAAV-IRES-GFP (control group). The expressions ofhVEGF165 and hBMP-7 were detected by ELISA assay at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 14th days and Western blot assay at the14th day after transfection. The expression consistencies of hVEGF165 and hBMP-7 were observed by immunofluorescence assay at the 14th day after transfection. The biological activity of hVEGF165 was assessed by angiopoiesis experiment of the 3rd passage human umbil ical vein endothel ial cells (HUVEC). The biological activity of hBMP-7 was assessed by mineral ization of BMSCs detected by ALP staining and al izarin red staining. Results With infecting time, the hVEGF165 and hBMP-7 expressions increased gradually in two groups, showing significant difference between two groups (P lt; 0.05). The expressions of hVEGF165 and hBMP-7 were positive in experimental group and negative in control group, respectively. Immunofluorescence assay showed positive expressions of hVEGF165 and hBMP-7 in the exprimental group and negative expression in the control group, the expression of hVEGF165 and hBMP-7 had good consistencies. hVEGF165 secreted from BMSCs enhanced HUVEC migration, prol iferation and tube formation in experimental group. There was significant difference in the number of blood vessel between two groups (P lt; 0.05). The ALP staining showed more bly stained granules in experimental group than in control group. There was significant difference in the number of the mineral ized nodules between two groups (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion The rAAV-hVEGF165-IRES-hBMP-7 has good biological activity in vitro.

  • BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RECOMBINANT ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS 2 MEDIATED HUMAN TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR β1 ENCODING GENE TRANSFER TO RABBIT DEGENERATIVE NUCLEUS PULPOSUS CELLS ON PROTEOGLYCAN LEVEL

    Objective To verify the potential of the recombinant adeno-associated virus 2 (rAAV2) vector as a strategy for human transforming growth factor β1 (hTGF-β1) gene transfer in degenerative intervertebral discs of rabbit, to investigate the gene transduction efficacy and to quantify the biologic effects on the proteoglycan level after gene transferring. Methods Rabbit models of disc degeneration were established by injecting the 25 μL fibronectin fragment (Fn-f, 1 mmol/ L), 4 weeks later,saline with or without virus was injected directly into 96 lumbar discs of 24 mature New Zealand white rabbits (male or female and weighing 1.7-2.2 kg) which were divided into 3 groups (n=8). Group A received the 25 μL rAAV2-hTGF-β1 (1 × 1012 vg/mL); group B received rAAV2-enhanced green fluorescent protein (rAAV2-EGFP); and group C received PBS. Two rabbits of groups A, C were killed 1 week after injection, the immunohistochemical staining for hTGF-β1 was performed on the sl ices of nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues. At 4, 8, and 12 weeks after gene transferring, NP tissues were harvested and cultured to quantify the changes of the proteoglycan level using 35S-sulfate incorporation assay. The expression of EGFP in group B was observed 12 weeks after injection. Results Immunohistochemical staining showed that extensive and intense positive immunohisochemical staining for hTGF-β1 were seen in group A when compared with group C 1 week after gene transferring. The nucleus pulposus tissues from the group A exhibited an increased synthesis of proteoglycan, which was significantly more than that from groups B and C (P lt; 0.05), and no significant difference was observed between group B and group C. The expression of EGFP in group B was high at 12 weeks. Conclusion The discs injected with rAAV2-hTGF-β1 can highly expressed the therapeutic proteins for more than 12 weeks, it is suggested that rAAV2 should be an valid vector for transferring exogenous genes in the degenerative disc. The therapeutic factors hTGF-β1 can efficiently increase the proteoglycan synthesis of the degenerative NP cells.
