Pathogenesis of congenital pyrimidine 5′ -nucleotidase | deficiency: A study on relationship among erythrocyte morphology, enzyme protein content and activity

Objective: To further explore the mechanism of congenital pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase I deficiency. Methods; The samples were collected from the family members of a patient with P5'N- I deficiency. The enzyme activities were measured by UMP method and the enzyme proteins were quantified by ELISA while the morphology of peripheral blood cells was observed. Results: The enzyme contents reduced as their enzyme activities decreased in the family especially in four members. There was a significant positive correlation(r =0. 955) between the activity and the content of P 5'N- I . The count of the stippling cell was varied in the family. Conclusion.- One of the reasons for congenital P5' N- I deficiency might be the deficiency in the enzyme content. The morphology of peripheral blood erythrocyte may be an assistant diagnotic index. The P5'N- I activities and contents were measured simultaneously may be a effective method in clinic diagnosis.     

In vitro proliferation and in vivo tumorigenicity of IL-2 gene and IL-3 gene co-transfected leukemia cells

In vitro proliferation and in vivo tumorigenicity of IL-2 and/or IL-3 gene transfected FBL-3erythroleukemia cells were observed to investigate the anti-tumor effect of tumor vaccine. Methods: Leukemiacells were trans fected with IL-2 and/or IL-3 adenovlrus vector. The cytokine expressions were assayed, and the growth characteristics of the transfected FBL-3 cells were studied. Results: High levels of secreted IL-2 and IL-3remained for one week after transfection, and the trans fected leukemia cells became unchanged in growth in vitro and showed weak tumorigenicity in vlvo. The tumorigenicity of FBL-3 cells decreased more significantly when FBL-3 cells were transfected with both IL-2 gene and IL-3 gene than when FBL-3 cells were tran fected with IL-2or IL-3 gene only. The tumor growth was significantly delayed and survival time of the trans fected FBL-3 inoculat ed mice was significantly prolonged. Conclusion: The inhibition of tumor growth is most likely dependent on immune response induced by IL-2     

联合应用IL-2和IL-3的基因疗法增强骨髓移植后骨髓细胞毒活性及抗肿瘤效果的实验研究

目的：探讨联合应用成纤维细胞介导ＩＬ２和ＩＬ３的基因疗法对骨髓移植（ＢＭＴ）后荷瘤小鼠抗肿瘤作用的效果及机理。方法：将分别转染ＩＬ２基因及ＩＬ３基因的ＮＩＨ３Ｔ３细胞以单独或联合方式移植至ＢＭＴ的荷瘤小鼠腹腔内８ｄ后，取出小鼠骨髓细胞检测杀伤活性的变化以及ＩＬ２受体的表达，并观察荷瘤小鼠的存活期。结果：ＩＬ３基因治疗虽然可加速ＢＭＴ后造血重建过程，但对骨髓细胞的ＮＫ、ＬＡＫ活性具有一定的抑制作用；ＩＬ２基因治疗可明显提高骨髓细胞的杀伤活性；联合应用基因治疗后荷瘤小鼠骨髓ＮＫ、ＬＡＫ活性及骨髓细胞ＣＤ２５表达升高，明显延长大剂量化疗后接受ＢＭＴ的荷瘤小鼠的存活期。结论：联合应用ＩＬ２和ＩＬ３的基因疗法能协同提高骨髓细胞ＩＬ２受体表达水平，提高骨髓细胞毒活性，增强ＢＭＴ后的抗肿瘤效果。     

分泌粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子的重组痘苗病毒转染的瘤苗裂解物抗肿瘤作用

将小鼠粒细胞－巨噬细胞集落刺激因子（ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ）基因经过同源重组得到表达ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ的重组痘苗病毒，用此痘苗病毒转染小鼠黑色素瘤细胞，制备黑色素瘤瘤苗裂解物（ＧＭ－ＣＳＦＶＭＯ），Ｃ５７ＢＬ／６小鼠皮下接种Ｂ１６－Ｆ１０细胞３天后在注射部位注射瘤苗裂解物，一周后再注射一次。结果发现ＧＭ－ＣＳＦＶＭＯ能够显著地抑制荷瘤小鼠肿瘤结节的生长并明显延长荷瘤小鼠的存活期。用此瘤苗裂解物免疫小鼠两次，间隔一周，免疫一周后给Ｃ５７ＢＬ／６小鼠皮下接种Ｂ１６－Ｆ１０细胞，结果肿瘤结节出现时间明显延长，部分小鼠肿瘤不再生长。经ＧＭ－ＣＳＦＶＭＯ治疗或免疫后小鼠的外周血和脾淋巴细胞对肿瘤细胞杀伤活性明显升高，ＮＫ活性变化不明显。本结果提示，诱导机体特异性细胞免疫可能是瘤苗裂解物的抗肿瘤作用机理之一。

SCF或/和GM-CSF体内基因转染对“自杀基因”疗法抗肿瘤作用的增强效应

“自杀基因”疗法一般在治疗之初都疗效显著,随着治疗进程的推移,治疗效果就明显减弱.联合一个辅助性的治疗方法以增强“自杀基因”疗法所介入的某些环节的作用或许会提高“自杀基因”疗法的疗效.本实验着重探讨了从提高机体的免疫功能入手,为提高“自杀基因”疗法疗效而进行联合基因治疗的可行性和合理性.结果发现在以“自杀基因”疗法治疗肿瘤的同时转染mGM-CSF或/和mSCF基因后,并未明显提高其疗效.为了探讨是否可以通过提高抗原提呈功能来增强“自杀基因”疗法的疗效,小鼠在荷瘤前1周,先低剂量地转染mGM-CSF或/和mSCF基因重组腺病毒,而后再进行“自杀基因”的疗法的治疗,结果是预力转染mGM-CSF和mSCF基因能提高“自杀基因”疗法的疗效,mM-CSF的作用要强于mSCF,两者还有一定的协同作用.以同样的方法转染mGM-CSF和mSCF基因并给小鼠荷瘤,而不给予“自杀基因”疗法的治疗,各组小鼠的肿瘤均呈进行性生长,组间无差别.可见实验中所用的低剂量mGM-CSF和mSCF重组腺病毒的预转染并不能产生直接的抗肿瘤作用.     

GM-CSF/IL-4基因修饰的瘤苗不同的免疫途径诱导不同免疫反应的观察

对细胞因子基因修饰瘤苗的研究表明,IL-2、IL-4、IFN-γ、GM-CSF等一系列细胞因子基因以不同载体转入肿瘤细胞制成瘤苗后皮下免疫小鼠,均可增强机体抗肿瘤免疫力,其机制可能是由于瘤苗分泌的细胞因子促进了免疫细胞对肿瘤抗原的识别、提呈及对肿瘤细胞的杀伤能力.有文献报道,逆转录病毒介导的GM-CSF和IL-4共同转染瘤苗可以有效激发机体抗肿瘤免疫力,为探讨不同途径瘤苗免疫后机体的免疫反应,我们采用皮下、腹腔、脾内、静脉四种途径接种GM-CSF、IL-4基因双重转染的小鼠红白血病细胞FBL-3瘤苗,发现免疫途径不同,所激发的免疫应答类型不同,诱导机体生成的免疫力不同,提示某些瘤苗应用时应选择适当的免疫途径.
