逆病毒载体介导双耐药基因在脐血CD34^＋细胞中的表达和抗性研究

Study on expression and resistance of the double drug resistance genes transduced into human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells mediated by bicistronic retroviral vector]

To explore whether human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells transduced with human aldehyde dehydrogenase class-1 (ALDH1) and multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) increase resistance to 4-Hyaroxycyclophosphophamide (4-HC) and P-Glycoprotein Effluxed Drugs, a bicistronic Retroviral vector G1Na-ALDH1-IRES-MDR1 was constructed. The vector was transduced into the packaging cell lines GP + E86 and PA317 by LipofectAMINE. Using the medium containing VCR and 4-HC for cloning selection and pingponging supernatant infection between ecotropic producer clone and amphotropic producer clone, we obtained high titer amphotropic PA317 producer clone with the highest titer up to 5.6 x 10(5) CFU/ml. Cord blood CD34+ cells were transfectced repeatedly with supernatant of retrovirus containing human ALDH1 and MDR1cDNA under stimulation of hemopoietie growth factors. PCR, RT-PCR, Southern blot, Northern blot, FACS and MTT method analyses show that dual drug resistance genes have been integrated into the genomic DNA of cord blood CD34+ cells and expressed efficiently. The transgenes recipient cells confered 4- to 7.2-folds stronger resistance to cyclophospsphamede and P-Glycoprotein Effluxes drug in comparison with the nontransduced cells. This study provided a foundation for the application of combination chemotherapy in tumor clinical trial.
