摘要
目的:观察局部转染血管内皮生长因子165(VEGF165)基因对损伤动脉内膜增生的影响并探讨可能机制。方法:采用显微外科手术方法,建立兔右髂外动脉损伤模型。将105只新西兰大白兔随机分为3组,每组35只。A组为生理盐水对照组,B组为脂质体介导的pBudCE4·1转染组,C组为脂质体介导的pBudCE4·1/VEGF165转染组。用微注射器将各种转染液注入损伤的血管壁,每组按实验终点(术后2、3、7、14和28d)分为5个亚组,每个亚组7只兔。于术后各实验终点,取损伤段的血管用于病理组织学检查、电镜观察、RT-PCR和免疫组化染色检查。结果:术后各时点C组血管内膜厚度和内膜面积均显著小于A组和B组(P<0·01),术后28d时C组管腔狭窄率平均比A组和B组低51·6%和49·8%。术后各时点C组血管壁的VEGF165基因的mRNA表达量和血管壁VEGF165阳性细胞率明显高于A组和B组(P<0·01)。C组血管壁血管内皮细胞(VEC)修复和生长增殖速度明显快于A组和B组。A组和B组间无明显差异。结论:局部转染VEGF165基因可抑制血管新生内膜增生及血管再狭窄,为将来血管内膜增生的基因治疗奠定基础。
AIM: To observe the effects of local transfection of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165)gene on inhibiting intimal hy-petplasia and restenosis of artery in rabbits after operation injury, and its possible mechanisms.METHODS: Microsurgery injury was used to establish the intimal injury model of right external iliac artery in rabbits. 105 male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (35 rabbits in each group). Group A was physiological saline control group, group B was pBudCE4.1 - transfected group, group C was pBudCF4. 1/VEGF165 - transfected group. The physiological saline, pBudCE4.1 and pBudCE4.1/VEGFI65 transfection solutions were injected into injured vessel walls of above- mentioned groups. The injured vascular specimen was harvested for pathologic examination, electric microscope observation, RT- PCR examining and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Rabbit intimal thickness and area of vessel walls in group C at every time point after operation were significantly less than those in group A and group B ( P 〈 0.01 ). The stenosis ratio of vessels in group C at 28 days after operation decreased by 51,6% and 49.8%, respectively, as compared with groups A and B. The expression of VEGF165 mRNA and VEGF165 positive cells in Group C were increased significantly than those in group A and B at every time point after operation ( P 〈 0.01 ). CONCLUSION: Local transfection of VEGF165 gene restrains intimal hyperplasia and restenosis of vessels, which lays a foundation for future gene therapy of vascular intimal hyperplasia.
