The Experiment of Gene Therapy for Gallbladder Carcinoma Cell in Vitro with Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase/Ganciclovir

Objective To evaluate preliminarily the effect of HSV - tk/GCV system on gallhladder carcinoma cells in vitro.Methods Recombinant retroviral vector PLtkSN containing tk suicide gene was transfacted into gallbladder carcinoma cells, mediated by LipofectAMINETM 2000 liposome, and the growth - inhibiting rotes of GBC, SD/tk cells in the different GCV concentrations were measured by MTr methods; GBC - SD cells were mixed in the different proportions, and death rotes of the mixed cells treated with GCV were detected to verify by stander effect. Resuts GCV could lead GBC - SD/tk cells to significant death, and there was striking difference compared with the control cells （p〈0.01）. When the concentration of GCV was 1,10, 50,100,500ug/ml, the killing rate of GBC - SD/tk cells was respecfively 6.8%, 2.5.2%, 54.5%, 66.3%, 89.3%, indicating dose - dependent phenomenon; With GBC - SD/tk cells in the proportion of 0, 10%, 20% ,50%, 70%, 100%, the killing rate of the mixed cells treated with GCV was 0, 19.7%, 40.3%, 77.7%, 88.0%, 93.5%, respectively. It was apparent that bystander effect was observed in the experiment. Condusion HSV - tk/GCV system could be a potential tool for the treatment of carcinoma.     

Cholera Toxin B-Mediated Targeting of Lipid Vesicles Containing Ganglioside GM1 to Mucosal Epithelial Cells

Purpose. To determine whether the non-toxic pentameric B subunit of Cholera toxin (CTB) binding to ganglioside GM1 on both the lipid vesicles and epithelial cells may provide a means to target lipid vesicles to mucosal cells expressing surface GM1. Methods. Sonicated lipid vesicles containing ganglioside GM1 were prepared. Inter-vesicle cross-linking due to pentameric CTB binding to these GM1 vesicles was determined with a sub-micron particle analyzer. Association of CTB to GM1 vesicles was analyzed with continuous sucrose gradient centrifugation. CTB-mediated binding of GM1 vesicles to human mucosal epithelial cells (Caco-2 and HT-29), mucous membranes of mouse trachea, and nasal tissues were detected with fluorescent labeled vesicles. Results. An increase in lipid particle size due to binding of CTB to lipid vesicles and inter-vesicles cross-linking was detected. At a 30-to-1 mole ratio of membrane-bound GMl-to-CTB, optimum increase in GM1 vesicle aggregation, was detected. Under such conditions, all the added CTB molecules were associated with GM1 vesicles. Time course analysis showed that inter-vesicles cross linking by CTB was detectable within 10 min. and reached a maximum value at 60 min. CTB associated GM1-vesicles bind to mucosal epithelial cells HT-29 and Caco-2 with similar affinity [K_d = 7.8 × 10^–4 M lipid (Caco-2) and 7.6 × 10^–4 M lipid (HT-29)]. GM1 mediated binding specificity was demonstrated by blocking with anti-GMl antibody and the insignificant degree of CTB-associated GM1 vesicle binding to GM1 deficient C6 cells. Conclusions. The CTB-mediated GM1 binding to multiple membrane surfaces provides selective localization of GM1 vesicles to GM1 expressing mucosal cells and tissues. The strategy may be useful in localizing drugs and proteins to gut and respiratory tract mucosa.

Comparison of anticonvulsant effects of valproic acid entrapped in positively and negatively charged liposomes in amygdaloid-kindled rats

Intraperitoneal injection of free valproic acid (VPA) suppressed amygdaloid-kindled seizure 1 h after injection in rats, but had no effect at 24 h. VPA entrapped in positively charged liposomes showed a prolonged anticonvulsant effect lasting for 2 days, while the effect evaluated at 1 h was not different from that with free VPA. VPA entrapped in negatively charged liposomes exerted a significantly stronger effect at 1 h than did free VPA, while it had no significant effect at 24 h. These results suggest that surface charges on liposomes play an important role in modifying the anticonvulsant effect of VPA.

Liposomal 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 compounds block proliferation and induce differentiation in myelomonocytic leukaemia cells

The vitamin D₃ derived hormone 1,25 (OH)₂ vitamin D₃ (1,25 D₃) is able to induce growth arrest and differentiation in myelomonocytic leukaemia cells. In order to allow for specific delivery to leukaemic cells the lipophilic compound was incorporated into the lipid membranes of liposomes. Liposomal 1,25 D₃ reduced proliferation as measured by ³H-thymidine incorporation in HL60 leukaemia cells by up to 60%. When liposomes were prepared at different concentrations of 1,25 D₃ 65% inhibition was achieved at 48 n M . The MC 1288 stereoisomer of 1,25 D₃ was more potent and had the same activity at 48 n M .
The effect of the liposomal compounds was specific to myeloid cells as they reduced proliferation in myelomonocytic HL60, monoblastic U937 and monocytic Mono Mac 6 cells but not in the T-cell lines Jurkat and Molt 4.
The antiproliferative effect of liposomal 1,25 D₃ was associated with an induction of differentiation since treated HL60 cells showed a monocytic morphology, increased expression of CD14 and decreased expression of CD33.
When peripheral blood leukaemic cells from M4 and M5 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients were admixed with liposomal compounds an antiproliferative effect was seen in all five cases, including the two cases where free compounds led to enhanced growth. Liposomal delivery of 1,25 (OH)₂ vitamin D₃ may offer a novel approach to treatment of myelomonocytic leukaemia.     

Enteral Absorption of Insulin in Rats from Mucoadhesive Chitosan-Coated Liposomes

Purpose. The mucoadhesiveness of polymer-coated liposomes was evaluated to develop a novel drug carrier system for oral administration of poorly absorbed drugs such as peptide drugs. Methods. Multilamellar liposomes consisting of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dicetyl phosphate (DCP) (DPPC:DCP = 8:2 in molar ratio) were coated with chitosan (CS), polyvinyl alcohol having a long alkyl chain (PVA-R) and poly (acrylic acid) bearing a cholesteryl group. The adhesiveness of the resultant polymer-coated liposomes to the rat intestine was measured in vitro by a particle counting method with a Coulter counter. The CS-coated liposomes containing insulin were administered to normal rats and the blood glucose level was monitored. Results. The existence of polymer layers on the surface of liposomes was confirmed by measuring the zeta potential of liposomes. The CS-coated liposomes showed the highest mucoadhesiveness and the degree of adhesion was dependent on the amount of CS on the surface of the liposomes. The blood glucose level of rats was found to be significantly decreased after administration of the CS-coated liposomes containing insulin. The lowered glucose level was maintained for more than 12h after administration of the liposomal insulin, which suggested mucoadhesion of the CS-coated liposomes in the intestinal tract of the rats.
