The purpose of this study was to develop a recombinant adenovirus with secretory leukoprotease inhibitor (SLPI) promoter-controlled expression for gene therapy of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). An artificial microRNA targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was designed, and used to construct a replication-defective recombinant adenovirus with SLPI promoter-controlled expression. The silencing efficiency of this vector (Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR) was detected in Hep-2 cells. Western blotting showed that the expression of 170 kD EGFR was significantly reduced in Hep-2 cells 72 h after infection with Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR. At a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 200 pfu/cell, proliferation of Hep-2 cells was highly inhibited by Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR (inhibition rate: ~70%). The apoptosis rate of Hep-2 cells at 72 h after infection with Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR at a MOI 35 pfu/cell was 32.8%. The adenovirus constructed was able to specifically inhibit the growth of SCC cells in vitro.
本研究的目的是构建一种由分泌型白细胞蛋白酶抑制剂(SLPI)启动子控制表达的重组腺病毒,用于鳞状细胞癌(SCC)的基因治疗。设计了一种靶向表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)的人工微小RNA,并用于构建具有SLPI启动子控制表达的复制缺陷型重组腺病毒。在Hep-2细胞中检测了该载体(Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR)的沉默效率。蛋白质印迹法显示,用Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR感染Hep-2细胞72小时后,170 kD EGFR的表达显著降低。在感染复数(MOI)为200 pfu/细胞时,Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR对Hep-2细胞的增殖有高度抑制作用(抑制率:约70%)。在MOI为35 pfu/细胞时,用Ad-SLPI-EGFRamiR感染Hep-2细胞72小时后的凋亡率为32.8%。构建的腺病毒能够在体外特异性抑制SCC细胞的生长。
