摘要
目的
     免疫排斥反应是角膜移植手术失败的主要原因,特别是高危病例,排斥率高达90%以上。研究如何预防和控制高危角膜移植术后的免疫排斥反应具有重要的意义。
     T淋巴细胞介导的迟发性免疫排斥反应是角膜移植排斥反应的主要方式。最近大量的研究发现,基因重组合成的细胞毒T淋巴细胞抗原4(cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4, CTLA4)可以高亲和力、特异地与APC细胞表面的B7结合,从而阻断CD28/B7这一共激活途径,使T淋巴细胞不能活化,进而阻止T淋巴细胞介导的免疫反应。目前在肾脏、心脏、皮肤等其它大器官移植中,人们已经发现利用CTLA4-Ig可以有效地延长移植器官的存活时间,甚至可以造成免疫耐受。
     但是CTLA4-Ig应用于抑制器官移植免疫排斥反应仍存在许多问题。诸如CTLA4-Ig的半衰期短,只有50-70小时,临床应用时需反复用药;全身用药不方便,可能造成其它副作用等。因此,对CTLA4-Ig的局部应用,特别是通过转基因方法的应用是研究的重点。
     目前CTLA4-Ig在角膜移植中的应用和研究很少,都没有完全阻止免疫排斥反应的发生。而且在转基因预防角膜移植免疫排斥反应的研究中,大部分研究是针对角膜内皮细胞的,理由是角膜内皮细胞是免疫排斥反应攻击的主要靶细胞。但同时又有大量研究表明,角膜基质和上皮细胞是主要的致敏
    
    原,因此,在用药途径上,不应该只针对角膜内皮细胞,而应该重视供受体
    的角膜基质和上皮。
     本研究利用转基因技术,将cTLA4一19基因分别转染高危角膜移植动物
    模型兔供体眼角膜基质或内皮细胞中,或兔受体眼前房中,然后观察何种途
    径是抑制穿透性角膜移植术后免疫排斥反应的主要途径,并对CTLA4一Ig局
    部转基因在抑制高危角膜移植免疫排斥反应中的作用作出评价。

Experimental study on suppress of high-risk corneal immune rejection by local CTLA4-Ig expression Shaowei Li, Directed by Professor Lixin Xie.
    Purpose
    Immune rejection is the leading cause of corneal allograft failure,especially for the high-risk cases[l]. The critical role of T cells in allograft rejection is well established. CTLA4-Ig, a recombinant form of CTLA4 has been shown to inhitit T-Cell activation by blocking the costimulatory pathway, and thereby prolong graft survival and even produce donor-specific tolerance in some animal transplant models[2-7].However, there still remain many unresolved issues with respect to how best to use CTLA4-Ig in clinical setting. In of which, the relative shorter serum elimination half-life of the recombind CTLA4-Ig is concerned[3], and led to seeking of the potential of using gene therapy.
    Several studies were conducted in preventing corneal allograft by using CTLA4-Ig, but none of them demonstrated long-term graft survival[8-ll].It was noted that most of the studies using gene transfer were focused on endothelial layer. The reaseon is that it is believed that the major target of corneal graft rejection is the corneal endothelium. But numourus studies have shown that it was mainly the corneal stoma and epithelial layer act as the alloantigen[12].
    In this study, we explored the potential use of gene therapy in preventing of corneal rejection by transferring Ad-CTLA4-Ig to the different layers or sites of the donor or recipient eye in rabbit model.
    
    
    
    Materials and Methods
    Recombinant adenoviruses
    Ad-LacZ was the kind gift of Dr.Youhai Chen(Department of Molecular and Cellular engineering, University of Pennsylvania, School of Mecicine). Ad-GFP was the kind gift of Dr.Frank Liang(F.M. Kirby Center for Molecualr Ophthalmology, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Pennsylvania). Ad-CTLA4-Ig(human)was the kind of gift of Dr. Brend Ray-Sea Hsu(Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine, Chang-Gung Memorial hospital and Chan Gung University Medical College, Taiwan).Ad-CTLA4-Ig(mice) was a kind gift of Dr.Taosheng Li(First Department of Surgery,Yamaguchi University School of Medicine,Japan).
    The recombined adenovirus vectors were propagated in 293 cells and purified by centrifugation over caesium chloride gradients and titred following standard protocols[13-15].
    Detection of gene expression
    Green fluorescence protein expressed by Ad-GFP was observed under fluorescence microscope. LacZ gene expression was detected by X-Gal solution described previously[16]. CTLA4-Ig expression was detected by immunohistochemistry using goat antihuman IgG antibody(Sigma, 1-3382) as primary antibodies, and FITC-conjugated Rabbit Anti-Goat Ig, DAKO, F0250) as secondary antibodies.The results were observed under fluorescence microscope.
    
    
    Adenovirus-mediated Gene Transfer
    The Ad-CTLA4-Ig, Ad-LacZ, Ad-GFP were transferred to the corneal endothelium according to the method described before[ll,17]. Briefly, NZW rabbit corneas were incubated in 1ml 2% fetal calf serum(FCS) in DMEM containing 1.4X105 PFU/ml of Ad-CTLA4-Ig or AdD-LacZ or Ad-GFP for 3 hours at 37C in 5%CO2 After incubation, specimens were washed three times with Hanks' balanced salt solution. The corneas were translated to a healthy NZW rabbit eye. The gene expression was examined at different time point after penetrating keratoplasty(PKP).
    Genes were transfected into corneal stoma by direct injection of recombinant adenoviruses using a 1ml syringe with a 30 gage needle. The expression of transferred gene were examined at different time point.
    Gene in vivo transferring to rabbit anterior chamber was conducted according to the method described previously[18], in which the recombinant adenoviruses were injected into the anterior chamber.
    Penetrating keratplasty
    New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits of both sexes weighing between 2.5-3.Okg were used as experimental model. Throughout this study, all animals were handled according to the ARVO Resolution on the Use of Animal
