摘要:  【摘要】  目的  观察肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α的小干扰RNA(siRNA)真核表达载体对胶原性关节炎(CIA)大鼠的治疗作用。  方法  构建TNF-α的siRNA真核表达载体并注射CIA大鼠,随机分为模型组、空载体组、TNF-α-siRNA1组和TNF-α-siRNA2组,每组6只,各组分别尾静脉注射磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)、pGFP-V-RS空载体、TNF-α-siRNA1真核表达载体和TNF-α-siRNA2真核表达载体。另设6只未造CIA模型只注射PBS的大鼠为空白组。于注射后1、5、9和13d采血,ELISA检测血清中IL-1的变化;注射后13d处死大鼠,RT-PCR检测TNF-αmRNA的表达水平。  结果  注射第1、5、9和13天模型组大鼠血清中IL-1的表达水平高于空白组(P<0.05),注射第1、5和9天TNF-α-siRNA1组和TNF-α-siRNA2组IL-1的表达水平低于模型组和空载体组(P<0.05);注射后第13天模型组大鼠全血中TNF-αmRNA的表达水平明显高于空白组(P<0.05),TNF-α-siRNA1组和TNF-α-siRNA2组mRNA表达水平低于模型组和空载体(P<0.05)。  结论  TNF-α的特异性siRNA能抑制TNF-αmRNA和IL-1的表达水平,从而为类风湿关节炎的基因治疗提供实验依据。

Abstract:

[Abstract]   Objective   To investigate the therapeutic effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-αsiRNA on typeⅡ colla?
gen induced arthritis (CIA) in rats.  Methods   The expression vectors of siRNA against TNF-αgene were constructed successfully and were injected by tail veil into CIA rats. Twenty-four CIA rats were randomly divided into4groups including model group, empty vector group, TNF-α-siRNA1group and TNF-α-siRNA2group. CIA rats were injected with the same dose of phosphate buffered sodium (PBS) and pGFP-V-RS vector respectively in model group and empty vector group, while TNF-α-siRNA1group and TNF-α-siRNA2group were injected with TNF-α-siRNA1eukaryotic expression vector andTNF-α-siRNA2eukaryotic expression vector respectively. Another6rats, which were not established CIA model, were in-jected with PBS (blank control group). The serum expression levels of IL-1were detected by ELISA on day1, 5, 9and13after injection. The expression level of TNF-αmRNA was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) on day13.   Results   The expression level of IL-1was significantly higher on day1, 5, 9and13in model group than that of blank group (P<0.05). The expression levels of IL-1were significantly lower on day1, 5and9in TNF-α-siRNA1group and TNF-α- siRNA2group than that of model group and blank group (P<0.05). The expression level of TNF-αmRNA was significantly higher on day13in model group than that of blank group (P<0.05). The expression levels of TNF-αmRNA were significantly lower in TNF-α-siRNA1group and TNF-α-siRNA2group than those of model group and empty vector group (P<0.05).   Conclusion   TNF-αspecific siRNA can suppress the levels of TNF-αmRNA and IL-1, which provides experimental basis for gene therapy of rheumatoid arthritis.
