小干扰RNA有效抑制乙型肝炎病毒的动物实验

目的 以乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）S区为靶位，观察小干扰RNA（siRNA）在动物体内抗HBV的效果。方法 以流体动力学法建立HBV感染的动物模型，将pcDNA3．1-HBV和细胞体外实验证明有效的siRNA尾静脉共注射Balb／c小鼠，用时间分辨免疫荧光分析法（IFMA）检测小鼠血清中HBsAg，用定量聚合酶链反应法（FQ-PCR）检测血清HBV DNA，用逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）法检测HBV S-mRNA，用免疫组织化学法检测肝组织HBsAg和HBcAg。结果 在小鼠体内，siRNA能有效抑制HBsAg的分泌，降低HBVDNA的滴度，免疫组织化学结果也证实HBsAg、HBcAg刚性细胞数明显减少，干扰效果至少持续3d，而无关siRNA则无抑制作用。结论 在动物体内靶向HBV S区的siRNA能有效特异抑制HBV。

Inhibition of Hepatitis B virus replication by small interfering RNA in vivo

Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of the small interfering RNA(siRNA) on hepatitis B virus(HBV)in vivo which targets HBV S gene region.Methods An animal model of HBV infection was developed hydrodynamically by injecting pcDNA3.1-HBV together with siRNA through the tail vein of Balb/c.HBsAg was analyzed by time resolved immunofluorometric assay, HBV DNA was analyzed by fluorogenic quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR),HBV S-mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR,and viral specific proteins(HBsAg and HBcAg)in the liver were assayed by immunohistochemical staining.Results In the mice,the siRNA could effectively inhibit the secre- tion of HBsAg,reduce the titers of HBV DNA,and immunohistochemical results also indicated that the number of HBsAg and HBcAg positive cells was reduced.The inhibitory effect of siRNA on HBV lasted 3 clays at least.Conclusion These results demonstrate that the siRNA targeting HBV S gene region can substantially and specifically inhibit HBV replication and expression in vivo.
