RNA干扰抑制乙型肝炎病毒复制的实验研究

目的 以乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)核心区为靶位，构建表达小干扰RNA(siRNA)的质粒载体pSilencer3．1-Hlhygro，体外观察siRNA抗HBV的效果。方法 以HepG2 2．2．15细胞为靶细胞，利用脂质体Metafectene与表达siRNA的质粒载体pSilencer3．1-Hlhygro共转染，用定量聚合酶链反应检测细胞上清液中DNA，用逆转录聚合酶链反应检测HBV C-mRNA。结果 成功构建了表达siRNA的转录质粒载体，两条siRNA均可抑制HBV的复制，而且与siRNA浓度成正相关。结论 靶向HBV核心区的siRNA能抑制HBV的复制。

Inhibition of hepatitis B virus replication by RNA interference in vitro

Objective To design pSilencer3.1-Hlhygro plasmid expressing short interfering RNAs (siRNA) that targets HBV core gene region, and to evaluate inhibitory effect of this siRNA on HBV in vitro. Methods HepG2 2.2.15 was used as target cells. The plasmid and liposome metafectene were cotransfected into the cultured cells, HBV DNA were analyzed by fluorogenic quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR), HBV C-mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results The plasmid expressing siRNA was successfully construsted. The two constructed siRNAs could effectively inhibit HBV replication, and their inhibitive effect on HBV was dose-dependent. Conclusion These results showed that siRNA could substantially inhibit HBV replication in the infected cells.
