摘要

Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide. During acute infection, the activation of the immune response and parasite clearance by the spleen are key host defence mechanisms. Apoptosis of lymphocytes is believed to compromise the immune response in malaria cases. As limited progress has been made using gene therapy against parasitic infections, we explored the potential beneficial effect of reconstituting Plasmodium chabaudi infected mice with transduced splenocytes overexpressing Bcl-2. An ecotropic retrovirus encoding GFP and Bcl-2 was packaged in 293T cells. A second retrovirus expressing only GFP was used as control. Initially, CBA/Ca mice were transplanted with 2 x 107 total splenocytes from syngenic donor mice transduced with retroviral particles. Two hours later recipient mice were infected with 5 x 104 P. chabaudi parasitised erythrocytes. Parasitaemia was evaluated every 24 h. Seven days post-infection, we evaluated splenic histology and Bcl-2 expression via RT-PCR and western blot. The protection against H2O2- induced apoptosis was tested on isolated total splenocytes. The efficiency of retroviral infection, expression of Bcl-2 and reporter gene was confirmed by Fluorescence microscopy, RT-PCR and western blotting of splenocytes from transplanted with cells transduced with GFP- or Bcl-2-expressing retroviruses. Parasitaemia in mice transplanted with GFP-transduced splenocytes transiently decreased 10-fold at day five after Plasmodium infection and was further decreased when mice were transplanted with Bcl-2-transduced splenocytes. The splenic architecture of mice that received transduced cells was preserved compared to control mice. Cytoprotection in vitro was enhanced with the Bcl-2 construct. The protective effect correlated with increased the cellularity in the spleen and overexpression Bcl-2. We tested the use of standard gene therapy strategies based on the reconstitution of irradiated mice with genetically modified heterologous cells in301Martínez-Flores et al: Enhanced splenic protection and reduction in a murine malaria modelan experimental murine model of malaria. We observed transient reduction of parasitaemia, preservation of splenic architecture and increased cell survival in vitro against oxidative stress. Although the experimental design aimed to test the effect of Bcl-2 overexpression, transplantation of cells transduced with the empty retroviral vector resulted in a significant protective effect accompanied by the increased expression of endogenous Bcl-2.
