摘　　要：目的以单纯疱疹病毒1-胸苷激酶（HSV1-tk）为报告基因，以131^I标记的氟-碘阿糖基脲嘧啶（FIAU）为报告探针，对心肌内转染HSV1-tk的家兔行心脏报告基因单光子发射计算机断层（SPECT）显像，以探讨该报告系统应用于SPECT心脏报告基因显像的可行性，为SPECT报告基因心脏显像最佳转染滴度、显像时间选择提供依据。方法制作腺病毒（Ad）为载体携带HSV1-tk基因的重组体Ad—tk，家兔心肌内注射Ad-tk。实验分2部分：（1）转染报告基因后不同时间对显像的影响：家兔心肌注射不同滴度的Ad—tk（1×10^9、5×10^8、1×10^8、5×10^7、1×10^7pfu），2d后耳缘静脉注射131^I—FIAU600μCi行6、24、48和72h心肌SPECT显像，注射1×10^9pfu Ad—tk的家兔继续行96和120h显像。（2）不同Ad-tk滴度对显像的影响：家兔心肌注射不同滴度的Ad-tk（1×10^9、5×10^8、1×10^8、5×10^7、1×10^7pfu），2d后耳缘静脉注射131^I-FIAU600μCi行6、24和48h心肌SPECT显像，显像结束后处死家兔，取出心脏，测量γ计数值，行逆转录-聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）研究，并对SPECT图像和RT-PCR图像行半定量分析。结果SPECT图像可见Ad-tk在注射局部表达，而非注射部位未见表达，对照组心肌除6h可隐约显影外，其余时间均未见显影。RT-PCR证实HSV1-tk在注射部位表达。不同的Ad-tk滴度，SPECT靶／非靶比值与γ计数值呈正相关（r^2=0．933，P〈0．01），与HSV1-tk的表达亦呈正相关（r^2=0．877，P〈0．01）。SPECT可检测到滴度低至1×10^7pfu的Ad—tk在心肌内的表达。结论应用HSV1-tk为报告基因，FIAU为报告探针的SPECT心肌报告基因显像是可行的。SPECT心肌报告基因显像可半定量地监测报告基因在体内的表达。Objective To explore the feasibility of single photon emission computed tomography （SPECT） detection of heart reporter gene expression and observed the optimal thansfeeting titer and imaging time by using herpes simplex virus 1-thymidine kinase （HSVl-tk） as reporter gene and 131^I-2＇-fluoro-2＇- deoxy-1-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-5-iodouracil （131^I-FIAU） as reporter probe in rabbit myocardium. Methods The recombinant Ad-tk carrying HSV1-tk gene and adenovirus （Ad） as vector was constructed and intramyoeardially injected to rabbits at various concentrations（ 1 ×10^9 pfu,5 ×10^8 pfu, 1 ×10^8 pfu,5 ×10^7 pfu,1 ×10^7 pfu）. Two days later, rabbits were injected with 600 μCi 131^I-FIAU in ear-margin vein and then underwent SPECT myocardium imaging for detection of HSVl-tk expression at 6 h, 24 h,48 h and 72 h after injection, rabbits with 1 ×10^9 pfu Ad-tk injection were imaged at 96 h and 120 h. Rabbits were sacrificed after imaging and the total myocardial 131^I-FIAU accumulation was quantified in percent of injected dose per gram myoeardiam （% ID/g）. The myocardial Ad-tk expression was determined with RT-PCR. Results Reporter gene was detected by SPECT imaging in the injection site while not detected in the control myocardium and site remote from injection. RT-PCR results also evidenced HSV1-tk express in the injection site. The SPECT target/nontarget ratio was correlated with ex vivo γ-counting （ r^2 = 0. 933, P 〈 0.01 ） and expression of HSV1-tk （ r^2 =0. 877, P 〈0.01 ）. Myocardial accumulation could be identified at viral titers as low as 1 ×10^7 pfu by SPECT imaging. Conclusion The cardiac SPECT reporter gene imaging with HSV1-tk as reporter gene and 131^I-FIAU as reporter probe is feasible.
