融合蛋白胸腺素α1-干扰素α抗乙型肝炎病毒活性的实验研究

目的观察融合蛋白胸腺素α1-干扰素α(TA1-IFN)体外抗乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)作用,并与胸腺素α1、干扰素α两者联合(TA1+IFN)应用的体外抗HBV作用进行比较。方法HepG22.2.15细胞接种后24h,换用含5种不同浓度(8000、4000、2000、1000、500U／ml)药物的培养基,37℃、体积分数5％CO2条件下培养,每3d换用原浓度含药培养液1次,并于第6天收集培养液,用Abbott诊断试剂盒,分别检测不同组药物作用后上清液中乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)、乙型肝炎e抗原(HBeAg)的含量,并计算其抑制率;同时用四甲基偶氮唑盐比色分析法检测不同组药物对HepG22.2.15细胞的细胞毒性作用。结果TA1-IFN体外对HBsAg、HBeAg的抑制率与药物浓度呈剂量依赖关系,并且在药物浓度达8000U／ml后趋于稳定,此时TA1-IFN对HBsAg、HBeAg抑制率分别为72.2％±0.8％、60.4％±1.1％,细胞存活率为85.2％±2.0％;而相应浓度的TA1-IFN对HBsAg、HBeAg抑制率为40.0％±0.7％、34.5％±3.2％,细胞存活率为70.0％±1.9％,两者HBsAg、HBeAg抑制率及细胞存活率比较差异均有统计学意义(P值均<0.05)。结论融合蛋白TA1-IFN体外具有良好的抗HBV作用,其体外抗HBV活性比TA1-IFN联合应用强,且细胞毒性比TA1+IFN联合应用时小,本实验为融合蛋白TA1-IFN的临床研究提供了重要的理论

Anti-HBV effect of fusion protein (TA1-IFN) in vitro

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-HBV effect of fusion protein thymosin alpha1-interferon alpha (TA1-IFN) in vitro and to compare its effect with a combination of interferon alpha and thymosin alpha1. METHODS: After 2.2.15 cells were seeded for 24 hours, drugs of five serial concentrations (8000, 4000, 2000, 1000, 500 U/ml) were added to the wells, then the medium was changed every three days. After 2.2.15 cells were treated with drugs for 6 days, the medium was collected. The inhibitory rates on HBsAg and HBeAg were determined using Abbot kit, and the cytotoxicity of different drugs by means of MTT colorimetric assays was also observed. RESULTS: The inhibitory rate of fusion protein on HBsAg, HBeAg was dose-dependent and reached the maximum at 8000 U/ml concentration. In the meantime, the inhibitory rates of fusion protein on HBsAg and HBeAg were 72.2% +/- 0.8% and 60.4% +/- 1.1% respectively, and the cell survival rate was 85.2% +/- 2.0%; In the corresponding concentration, the inhibitory rates of combination thymosin alpha 1 and interferon alpha on HBsAg and HBeAg were 40.0% +/- 0.7%, 34.5% +/- 3.2% respectively. The results showed significant statistical differences between them; cell survival rate 70.0% +/- 1.9%, and the difference of the results was also significant. Cytotoxicity of fusion protein was weaker than a combination of thymosin alpha 1 and interferon alpha. CONCLUSION: Fusion protein TA1-IFN exerted stronger anti-HBV effects in vitro. Its anti-HBV effects in vitro were stronger than the combination of thymosin alpha and interferon alpha, and its cytotoxicity was weaker than the combination of thymosin alpha and interferon alpha. Our studies provided important evidence for clinical research on TA1-IFN, and also brought new hope for hepatitis B therapy.
