腺病毒载体介导CTLA4Ig基因治疗小鼠变应性鼻炎

目的 检测CTLA4Ig-重组腺病毒载体（Ad-CTLA4Ig）在变应性鼻炎治疗中的作用。方法 采用卵清蛋白（OVA）致敏和激发诱导小鼠变应性鼻炎。实验组在OVA激发前30min予以Ad-CTA4Ig腹腔注射。未转CTLA4IgcDNA的腺病毒载体（Adv）作对照。比较各组动物鼻部症状和鼻粘膜形态学改变，并采用ELISA法测定血清中OVA－特异性IgE水平。结果 CTLA4Ig重组腺病毒实验组小鼠鼻部症状和鼻粘膜病理改变不明显，并且血清中OVA－特异性IgE水平明显低于对照组（P＜0.05）。结论 Ad-CTLA4Ig可防治小鼠应变性鼻炎的发生，提示CTLA4Ig-重组腺病毒载体有可能运用于临床变应性鼻炎的治疗。

Gene therapy for allergic rhinitis with recombinant adenovirus vector containing CTLA4Ig in mice

Objective To examine the role of recombinant adenovirus vector containing CTLA4Ig gene (Ad CTLA4Ig) in treatment of induced allergic rhinitis in mice. Methods Allergic rhinitis was induced by sensitizing and challenging with ovalbumin(OVA). Ad CTLA4Ig was intraperitoneally injected 30 min before OVA challenge. Adenovirus vector without inserted CTLA4Ig cDNA served as the control. The symptoms and morphological changes of nasal mucosa of each group were observed, and the serum levels of IgE against OVA were detected with ELISA. Results There was no obvious symptom and pathological change in Ad CTLA4Ig treated group, in which the serum OVA-specific IgE levels were significantly lower than that in control groups( P <0.05). Conclusion Ad CTLA4Ig prevents and treats allergic rhinitis of mice,which imply the possibility of the usage of Ad CTLA4Ig for allergic rhinitis in future.
