摘要(Abstract):
目的 利用一种新的基因转移方法探讨血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)基因治疗猴闭塞性血管病的可行性。方法构建重组VEGF基因的真核表达载体。转基因前3天肌肉内注入肌肉再生剂了哌卡因(bupivacaine),通过电针向血管闭塞症猴(n=6)骨骼肌内转移重组VEGF基因(1600μg/只),应用血管造影、局部血管染色及超声多普勒等方法观察VEGF基因导入猴体内后的生物效应,并利用临床自动生化分析仪、病理切片和B超进行转基因的安全性研究。结果转pcD2/VEGF基因28天后,血管造影可见明显的新生血管和侧支循环形成,超声多普勒发现血流明显恢复,3个月后更显著,血管染色记数两组间差异有显著性(PcD2/VEGF组40.3±9.43/mm2;pcD2组25.9±9.00/mm2,P<0.01)。血液生化测定、主要脏器病理切片和B超检查未发现异常。结论利用电针向肌肉内转移VEGF基因可促进局部组织新生血管形成和侧支循环建立,促进血流恢复,且安全、简便,为闭塞性血管病的基因治疗提供一种新的基因转移方法。
