目的 建立具有绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)示踪功能的单纯疱疹病毒1型胸苷激酶基因/更昔洛韦自杀基因系统(HSV1-tkGFP/GCV),并检测该系统对小鼠黑色素瘤的抑制作用。方法 将阳性重组质粒pLXSN-tkGFP和pLXSN-DsRed2分别转染B16细胞,加G418进行筛选。用GCV(5,50,500 μmol·L-1)杀伤实验验证tk基因的表达。四甲基偶氮唑盐(MTT)法和荧光示踪法验证该系统存在旁杀伤效应。将B16-tkGFP和B16-RFP细胞按1∶1混合,接种于C57BL/6J小鼠进行肿瘤模型复制,随机分为模型组和GCV(50 mg·kg-1·d-1)组,腹腔注射给药,每3 d检测1次肿瘤大小(n=14)。结果 成功获得能发出绿色荧光的B16-tkGFP细胞和能发出红色荧光的B16-RFP细胞,且tk基因在B16-tkGFP细胞中表达正常。该系统存在一定的旁杀伤效应。与模型组比较,GCV组小鼠肿瘤生长受到明显抑制(P<0.01)。结论 重组HSV1-tkGFP/GCV系统对小鼠黑色素瘤有明显抑制作用,并可实现直观检测其旁杀伤效应,为后续中药联合自杀基因疗法的研究奠定基础。

Objective To construct recombinant herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase/ganciclovir(HSV1- tkGFP/GCV) tumor suicide gene system with green fluorescent protein(GFP) monitoring function,and to verify the inhibitory effect of this system on murine melanoma. Methods The positive recombinant plasmid(pLXSN-tkGFP or pLXSN-DsRed2) was transfected into B16 cells and then anti-G418 monoclone cells were obtained after screening with G418.The presence and expression of tk gene in B16-tkGFP cells was confirmed by the killing effects of GCV(5,50,500 μmol·L-1). The bystander effect of HSV1-tkGFP/GCV system was measured by MTT assay,fluorescence image method. A mixture of B16-tkGFP and B16-RFP cells at the ratio of 1∶1 was inoculated subcutaneously into C57BL/6J mice for the modeling. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into tumor model group and GCV(50 mg·kg-1·d-1)treated group. GCV was administrated intraperitoneally. The tumor size was measured every three days(n=14). Results B16-tkGFP moneclone and B16-RFP moneclone were obtained successfully. The recombinant HSV1-tkGFP/GCV system had some bystander effect. The tumor growth in the GCV treated group was significantly inhibited as compared with that in the tumor model group(P<0.01). Conclusion The HSV1-tkGFP/GCV system shows obvious inhibition of murine melanoma,and the bystander effect could be observed directly,which would lay the foundation for further study of HSV1-tkGFP/GCV system combining with Chinese medicine.
