摘要
Intratracheal injection of manganese superoxide dismutase-plasmid/ liposome (MnSOD-PL) complexes has been demonstrated to delay the onset and reduce the extent of ionizing irradiation-induced murine pulmonary organizing alveolitis/ fibrosis. To facilitate translation of this modality to clinical fractionated radiotherapy, inhalation delivery of MnSOD-PL was developed using an ultrasonic nebulizer. Transgene product was quantitated by immunohistochemical quantitation and pulmonary tissue levels of MnSOD biochemical activity. C57BL/6NHsd female mice demonstrated a plasmid dose-dependent increased expression of MnSOD transgene product over the range of 250 mu g - 2.5 mg of MnSOD-PL administered over a constant 5 min interval. Delivery of a constant concentration of 500 mg of MnSOD-PL with varying times of administration ranging from 0.5 to 10 min demonstrated optimal MnSOD expression at 5 min. Mice pretreated by inhalation delivery of MnSOD-PL demonstrated significantly improved survival after 20 Gy single fraction irradiation to both lungs compared to LacZ-PL inhalation-treated or irradiated control mice. Mice receiving 10 fractions of 3.5 cGy demonstrated increased pulmonary MnSOD transgene product activity by a protocol of every Monday - Wednesday or daily inhalation of MnSOD-PL. Thus, inhalation radioprotective gene therapy using MnSOD-PL provides a practical and effective method for delivery of lung-specific radioprotection during fractionated radiotherapy protocols in a mouse model.
