目的: 探讨缺氧诱导因子1α(hypoxia inducible factor 1α,HIF1α)特异性siRNA调节肿瘤组织乏氧状态的抗肿瘤效应。方法:构建含有HIF1α特异性RNAi序列的重组腺病毒载体,建立携带VX2肿瘤细胞的荷瘤模型兔。将构建好的重组腺病毒载体注入兔耳缘静脉中进行治疗,以注入无干扰序列腺病毒载体为对照。采用正电子发射计算机断层显像(positron emission computed tomography, PET)成像的方法观察模型兔肿瘤组织乏氧和坏死的变化。切除剥离肿瘤,测量肿瘤体积;HE染色法检测肿瘤组织坏死程度;采用RTPCR检测HIF1α在肿瘤组织中表达的变化。结果:成功构建携HIF1α特异性siRNA的重组腺病毒,其滴度约为1.1×1010 PFU/ml。PET成像检测显示,经siRNA重组腺病毒治疗后的移植瘤组织中18FFDG标准摄取率(SUV)较对照兔显著降低\[(3.51±0.36)% vs (8.73±0.83)% ,P<0.01\],图像显示肿瘤组织内部出现了明显的缺氧和坏死区域。HIF1α siRNA治疗组的移植瘤体积显著小于对照组(P<0.01),肿瘤组织坏死面积明显大于对照组(P<0.01);RTPCR检测显示,治疗组肿瘤组织中HIF1α mRNA 水平显著低于对照组(P<0.01)。结论:HIF1α特异性siRNA使肿瘤组织HIF1α表达减少、肿瘤组织乏氧加剧和坏死增加,从而产生明显的抗肿瘤效应。

Objective:To explore the antitumor and hypoxia regulatory effect of HIF1α siRNA in tumor tissues. Methods:The HIF1α siRNA adenovirus vectors targeting HIF1α were constructed and the rabbit VX2 tumor model was established. The constructed vectors were injected into rabbits through ear vein; noninterference sequence was injected as control. PET (positron emission computed tomography) was used to observe the changes of hypoxia and necrosis in tumor tissues. The tumors were removed and the tumor volumes were measured. HE staining was used to observe the degree of the necrosis; RTPCR was used to detect the change of HIF1α expression in tumor tissues. Results: The recombinant HIF1α siRNA adenovirus vectors were successfully constructed, with a titre of 1.1×1010 pfu/mL. PET imaging showed that the SUV of 18FFDG was significantly decreased in HIF1α siRNA injected group than that in the control group (\[351±0.36\]% vs \[8.73±0.83\]%, P<0.01). Images showed that the tumor tissue had obvious hypoxia and necrosis. The sizes of the tumors of HIF1α siRNA injected group were significantly smaller than that of the control group (P<0.01); the necrosis areas in the tumors of HIF1α siRNA injected group were significantly larger than that of control group (P<0.01). RTPCR demonstrated that the expression of HIF1α mRNA in HIF1α siRNA injected group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: HIF1α specific siRNA can reduce HIF1α expression in tumor tissues and aggregate the hypoxia and necrosis of tumor tissue, therefore producing obvious antitumor effect.
