摘要
肝癌是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,每年使大约100万例病人死亡,尽管目前肝癌的治疗方法很多,但仍未能从根本上改变病人的预后。近年来肝癌的基因治疗已经成为生物医学和临床医学研究的热点。肝癌基因治疗的靶向性调控,即调控目的基因特异性导入肝癌细胞或在肝癌细胞中实现特异性表达,最大限度的杀伤肝癌细胞的同时而不损伤正常肝细胞,已成为决定基因治疗效果及可行性的关键因素。
     分子病毒学研究揭示了HBV的表达调控机制,为利用HBV嗜肝细胞基因表达调控特性构建肝细胞特异表达载体提供了条件。HBV基因组仅有3.2kb,结构紧密,所有调控序列均位于蛋白编码区。HBV 3.5kb、2.4kb、2.1kb和0.9kb的RNA转录物的起始点附近各有一个启动子,分别为C、SPⅠ、SPⅡ和X启动子。另外在1074~1234位核苷酸和1627~1774位核苷酸处有HBV的两个增强子ENⅠ和ENⅡ。该两段序列具有高度保守性,并在其上有多个肝特异转录因子的结合位点,与ENⅠ结合的转录因子有肝细胞特异性的C/EBP、HNF-4和HB_1F,与ENⅡ相结合的肝细胞蛋白因子有C/EBP、HNF-4、HLF、HNF3、FTF和E4BP4等。由于与HBV的启动子和增强子特异结合的转录表达调控因子几乎只存在于肝细胞中,而不存在于其它细胞中,决定了肝细胞增强子ENⅠ和ENⅡ具有高度肝细胞专一性,其对HBV在肝细胞中的特异表达有相当重要的贡献,并在一定程度上决定了HBV的嗜肝性。
     因此,以HBV病毒嗜肝细胞表达密切相关的启动子、增强子为表达调控元件构建肝细胞特异表达载体携带只对肿瘤细胞起抑制或促调亡作用的治疗基因导入人体后,便可达到杀伤肝癌细胞而对正常肝细胞或非肝细胞无影响的目的,充分体现了基因治疗的优势。据此,本论文拟进行以下研究:(1) 克隆不同的HBV启动子片段,评价其在肝细胞和非肝细胞中的转录活性。筛选出在肝细胞中特异性表达最强的DNA序列组合形式。(2) 构建HBV启动子调控的外源端粒酶hTRT反义RNA、apoptin、IL-24和OSM基因载体,并检测各种治疗基因在体内外的抑癌作用。

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the most common maliganant tumors in the world, responsible for an estimated one million deaths annually. The prognosis of HCC patients is generally very poor despite many treatment strategies. Gene therapy is an exciting approach to treat HCC in the biological and clinical research. The success of gene therapy largely depends on the development of a vector or vehicle that can selectively and efficiently deliver a gene to tumor cells or express therapeutic gene only in tumor tissues with minimal toxicity in normal hepatic cells or nonhepatic cells. Study of the molecular virology revealed the mechanism of the expression and regulation of HBV, which may attribute to the construction of hepatic-specific expression system of vector. HBV has a partially double-stranded 3.2-kb DNA genome, and all the regulating sequence located in the protein encoding region. Four promoters(Cp, SP I, SPII, Xp) have been identified as cis regulators for transcription of the 3.5-, 2.4-, 2.1-a
    nd 0.8-kb mRNAs, respectively. Two regions(nt1074 to 1234, nt1627 to 1774) in the HBV genome have been shown to act as transcriptional enhancers, Enhancer I (EN I )and Enhancer II(EN II), which show highly conservative trait, A lot of hepatocyte-specific factors bind to those two regions. For instance, C/EBP, HNF-4 and HB1F bind to EN I region, and the transcriptional factors, like C/EBP, HNF-4, HLF, HNF3, FTF and E4BP4, bind to EN II region. Only in the hepatocyte cells can these transcriptional factors be detected, but not in nonhepatic cells. This suggests that these transcriptional factors are necessary for the hepatocyte-specific traits of the EN I and EN II, and the hepatotropism of HBV replication might be related with these transcriptional factors.
    Therefore we use the transcriptional regulatory sequence which might be attributable to the hepatotropism of HBV and use the therapic genes which only inhibit or kill tumor cells to construct the hepatic gene therapy vectors. When transferred into body, they will kill the hepatic tumor cells without damaging the normal cells. So we carry out our studies as follows: (1) Cloning of different HBV promoters and assessing of transcriptional activity of HBV promoter in hepatocyteor nonhepatic cells. (2) Construction of apoptin, antisense hTRT, IL-24 and
    
    
    oncostatin M(osm) eukaryotic expression vectors driven by the HBV promoter and study of its expression specificity and anticancer effect in vitro and in vivo.
    The preliminary research results as follows:
    I. Construction of hepatocyte-specific vectors
    1. Five Luciferase reporter plasmids driven by HBV EN II with basic core promoter(BCP), EN I and EN II with BCP, HBV EN II and BCP with mCMV promoter were successfully constructed.
    2. A high hepatocyte-specific expression vector was achieved
    The recombinant plasmids were transfercted into five hepatic cells(HepG2, 2.2.15, BEL-7402, SMMC7721, LO2) and five nonhepatic cells(HeLa, H460, MCF7, 803, A375)using Lipofectamine?reagent, The Luciferase expression which indirectly represented the transcriptional activeity of HBV promoter lying upstream of Luc gene was detected with Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System. the SV40 enhancer/promoter (pGL3-Control) as a positive control, and the negative control without promoter (pGL3-Basic). The Luciferase activity of pGL3-Control plasmid in each cell line was considered as 100%. The HBV promoter construct showed significant transcriptional activity in all hepatic cell lines., the transcriptional activity of EN IIR (mutant type) promoter was 0.987-5.79 fold of positive control under SV40 promoter in hepatic cell lines; the transcriptional activity of EN I -IlW(ayw type) promoter was 1.25-15.31 fold of positive control under SV40 promoter in hepatic cell lines; the transcriptional activity of EN I -IIR promoter was 3.76-21.83 fold of positive control under SV40 promoter in hepatic cell lines; the transcriptional activity of ENIImCMV promoter was 9.49-91.71 fold of positive control under SV40 promoter in hepatic cell lines
