目的研究腺病毒携带目的基因经腹侧听泡外入路转导耳蜗鼓阶底转的可行性及目的基因的表达特点,为内耳基因治疗提供实验基础和理论依据。方法16只健康5周龄C57BL/6J小鼠,腺病毒组10只,以重组腺病毒携带有Hath-1和增强型绿色荧光蛋白基因(enhanced green fluorescent protein,EGFP),人工外淋巴液组6只以人工外淋巴液,经腹侧听泡外入路导入耳蜗鼓阶底转。分别于术后第7天分别行听性脑干反应(ABR)检查后取双侧耳蜗标本做基底膜铺片、耳蜗冰冻切片观察基因的表达。结果经腹侧听泡外入路转导耳蜗鼓阶底转的转导方法对听力影响较小。腺病毒组耳蜗内目的基因呈广泛表达。对照组耳蜗未见荧光表达。结论经腹侧听泡外入路转导耳蜗鼓阶底转的转导方法对听力影响较小,且能够将目的基因成功转导至耳蜗组织并广泛表达。
Objective To determine the effects of combined administration of furosemide and kanamycin on inner ear structures and the auditory nerve in rats. Methods The rats in the treatment group received intravenous injections of combined furosemide and kanamycin sulfate, and the rats in the normal control group received no treatment. The auditory brainstem response （ABR） test was carried out 7 days after drug administration to determine the effects of drug administration on hearing. Cochlear slice and cochlear wholcmount were prepared after 7 days of drug treatment. Results After 7 days of drug administration, ABR thresholds were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group and neurofilaments were significantly reduced, although the number of spiral ganglia showed no decrease and there were no signs of supporting cell injury. Conclusions Combined administration of furosemide and kanamyein sulfate has an apparent synergistic ototoxic effect. Although spiral ganglion damage may not be apparent within a short time period of drug administration, damage to auditory nerve fibers is obvious.
目的研究腺病毒携带目的基因经小鼠耳后入路圆窗膜显微注射途径耳蜗转导的可行性,为以小鼠作为动物模型的内耳基因治疗提供实验基础和解剖学依据。方法12只C57BL/6J小鼠分为2组,实验组(8只)以重组腺病毒携带的增强型绿色荧光蛋白基因(enhanced green fluorescent protein,EGFP)、对照组(4只)以人工外淋巴液经耳后入路圆窗膜显微注射注入耳蜗内。分别于术后5、14天取双侧耳蜗标本做基底膜铺片,在激光共聚焦显微镜下观察GFP表达。结果术后动物存活10只(每组死亡1只)。实验组转染后耳蜗底回基底膜及螺旋神经节上目的基因有表达,14天组强于5天组。对照组耳蜗未见荧光表达。结论耳后入路操作简单、损伤小、易于暴露圆窗龛。耳后入路圆窗膜显微注射腺病毒携带目的基因转导的方法能够将目的基因成功转导至耳蜗组织并表达。
Objective To study effects of Adenovirus -mediated Hath1 expression in guinea pig cochlea at one month after exposure to intensive noise. Methods Normal hearing guinea pigs, weighing 250-300g, received exposure to 200 rounds of impulse noise at 170 dB sound pressure level (SPL). The virus vector was inoculated into the left cochlea 1 month after noise exposure. Animals were tested using ABR and prepared for morphological examinations includeing immunocytochemistry and SEM 4 weeks after vector inoculation. Results The adenovirus mediated report gene expressed in the damaged area. There were no significant differences between treated and control animal in ABR threshold and morphologic changes. No new hair cells appeared in the Hath1 treated animals. Conclusion Forced hath1 over-expression in the cochlea 1 month after noise exposure does not lead to appearance of new hair cells.
