体内电穿孔在质粒介导的基因转移及DNA免疫中的应用

Objective To investigate the effects of in vivo electroporation on plasmid mediated reporter gene expression and immunogenicity of DNA vaccine. Methods Luciferase expression plasmid was administered intramuscularly to BALB/c mice at 8μg and 40μg dosage level through injection with or without eletroporation Luciferase expression level in murine muscle was detected by IVIS imaging system 24 h after injection. DNA vaccine plasmid p1.0-gp1455m carrying codon-optimized env gene of CN54 strain ( HIV-1 CRF07_BC) was administered to mice at dosages of 8μg and 40μg through the two approaches mentioned above. Mice were immunized at week 0,2 and 4. Env-specific immune responses were detected at two weeks post the second and the third vaccinations. Env-specific antibody immune responses were determined by ELISA. Euv-specific cellular immune responses were determined by IFN-γ ELISPOT. Results Luciferase expression level in murine muscle was significantly increased as much as 35 folds through in vivo eletroporation. Results of ELISA and ELISPOT revealed that in vivo eletroporation could significantly enhance both the humoral and cellular immune responses induced by DNA vaccination. The responses induced by electrodelivered p1.0-gp1455m at 8 μg dosage were better than those induced by simple intramuscular injection with 40 μg of plasmid DNA. On the other hand, 2 injections followed by electroporation elicited comparable level of humoral and cellular immune responses with those induced by 3 injections without electroporation. Conclusion In vivo electroporation was capable of enhancing both the plasmid-mediated gene expression and immunogenicity of DNA vaccine.

体内电穿孔对报告基因表达和HIV GagDNA疫苗诱导的免疫反应的影响

目的 研究体内电穿孔递送途径在小鼠模型中对于报告基因表达水平及HIV Gag DNA疫苗所诱导的免疫反应的影响。方法 构建荧光素酶（1uciferase）表达质粒p1．0-1ue，将其通过直接肌肉注射、肌注后以双针电极进行电穿孔、肌注后以钳式电极进行电穿孔等3种不同方法注射小鼠，72h后取注射部位的肌肉测定luciferase的表达情况。同时构建携带密码子优化的HIV-1 B′／C重组亚型CN54株gag基因的DNA疫苗质粒p1．0-gag，在10μg、100μg两个剂量水平上通过以上3种不同的方法免疫BALB／c雌性小鼠，ELISA方法检测Gag特异的抗体反应，ELISPOF方法和细胞内因子染色（intracellular cytokine staining，ICS）技术检测细胞免疫应答。结果 通过体内电穿孔可以使luciferase在小鼠肌肉中的表达水平显著提高，最大提高幅度达到66倍。Gag DNA疫苗免疫结果显示，电穿孔可以显著提高Gag特异的体液免疫应答，其中使用双针电极的效果要显著好于钳式电极，前者所诱导的抗体滴度比不使用电穿孔组提高可达28倍。但体内电穿孔对于Gag特异的细胞免疫应答并没有显著影响。结论 体内电穿孔（尤其是使用双针电极）可以大幅度提高报告基因在体内的表达水平和DNA疫苗诱导的抗原特异性体液免疫应答。

The effects of agouti-related protein gene transfer in vivo by electroporation in mice

In the present study, the cDNA encoding agouti-related protein (AGRP) gene known as an orexigenic factor was transferred in vivo to test whether food intake and body weight gain is improved in mice. When the expression plasmid of AGRP gene driven by mouse β-actin, pActAGRP, was transferred into leg muscle by electroporation, body weight of gene-transferred mice was significantly increased at 14 days and afterwards compared with that of control counterparts (p < 0.05). Likewise, daily food intake was also significantly higher in the AGRP gene-transferred mice than in the control mice at 4 days and afterwards (p < 0.05). A significant increase in serum AGRP concentration of the AGRP gene-transferred group was detected compared with the control group at 1 week (p < 0.01), but the difference quickly disappeared at 3 weeks. However, the hypothalamic NPY mRNA abundance of AGRP gene-transferred mice was significantly higher than that of the control mice at 3 weeks (p < 0.05). These results suggested that instead of hormone administration per se, in vivo AGPR gene transfer into skeletal muscle was found to mimic hormonal effects. The present methodology of in vivo gene transfer by electroporation might be useful to promote growth and food intake in farm livestock as well as experimental animals.

Generation of monoclonal antibodies against Blo t 3 using DNA immunization with in vivo electroporation

BACKGROUND: House dust mite allergy is closely associated with allergic diseases. Blomia tropicalis mite species is an important clinical species in the tropics. The cDNA clone encoding Blo t 3, a group 3 allergen from B. tropicalis, has been isolated in our laboratory. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to generate Blo t 3-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the detection, characterization and purification of this allergen. METHODS: Mice were immunized intramuscularly with naked plasmid DNA encoding Blo t 3 gene with in vivo electroporation. Hybridomas were generated by the fusion of the splenocytes to X63-Ag8.653 myeloma cells. Purified native Blo t 3 was obtained by mAb immuno-affinity purification and the allergenicity of native Blo t 3 was determined by human IgE enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: A panel of class-switched and high-affinity mAb recognizing a wide spectrum of Blo t 3 epitopes have been generated. These mAbs are useful for western immunoblot assay, sandwich ELISA and affinity purification of native Blo t 3. Allergenicity of native Blo t 3 protein was examined with 44 mite-allergic sera and approximately 57% of the tested sera had positive serum IgE reactivity to the native Blo t 3. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrated that intramuscular injection of naked DNA encoding Blo t 3 gene combined with in vivo electroporation is an effective and simple method to raise monoclonal antibodies that can be used for characterization and purification of Blo t 3.

A novel plasmid DNA electroporation method allows transfection of murine DC

Under steady state conditions dendritic cells (DC) exert tolerogenic function, but acquire potent immunogenic function due to strong upregulation of costimulatory molecules and proinflammatory cytokines. In numerous studies the potential of modified DC to induce tolerance or immune reactions towards a distinct antigen has been demonstrated. However, DC are refractory to transfection with plasmid DNA by non-viral methods. In this study we have tested the suitability of a newly developed electroporation device to transfect immature murine bone-marrow derived DC (BM-DC). Transfected BM-DC expressed reporter molecules at considerable extent which renders this method suitable to perform all kinds of promoter studies. While electroporation did not alter the low allostimulatory capacity of immature BM-DC, it impaired the stimulation-associated increase in allostimulatory potency of transfectants. However, stimulated transfected BM-DC pulsed with myelin oligodendrocyte protein (MOG)-derived peptide induced proliferation of MOG-reactive CD4⁺ T cells as potently as did non-transfected MOG peptide-pulsed BM-DC. BM-DC transfected with an expression construct encoding MOG efficiently stimulated MOG peptide-specific T cell proliferation. Transfection of BM-DC with an IL-10 encoding expression construct resulted in high IL-10 expression and strongly diminished allogeneic T cell proliferation. Therefore, this method also allows to study functional properties of genetically altered DC.
