Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the safety of Ad-Mathl administration to inner ear and provide the base data for vestibular dysfunction gene therapy.Methods Ten mature Wistar rats were divided into normal control group(srats) and adenovirus(E1,E3-Deleted and carried mathl and enhanced green fluorescent protein report gene,Ad-Mathl-EGFP)scala vestibuli transfer group(5 rats).Right ears of the Ad-Mathl-EGFP transfering group rats were deliveried 5ul Ad-Mathl-EGFP(physieal tite 2.1 10~(11)v.P./ml)into cochleas through the way of drilling scala vestibuli of cochlear basal turn.As a control,the normal group received nothing to inner ear.In order to estimate functional condition of vestibule and cochlea,the click-evoked potentials on the surface of the cervical dura mater(CDM-CEP),auditory brain stem response(ABR)and swimming time were recorded in all rats at 7 days after treatment,and then histologic and morphologic observation were carried out after animals were sacrificed.Results All animals' morphologic observation showed that inner ear hair cells were normal after transfer.Seven days after transfer,the swimming time was 4.0±0.71 s in normal control group and 5.0±0.71 s in scala vestibuli delivery group.The threshold of CDM-CEP and ABR were 85±3.54 dB SPL and 37±4.47 dB SPL in normal control group,and 89±6.52 dB SPL and 40±3.54 dB SPL in Ad-Mathl-EGFP scala vestibuli delivery group,respectively.There was no significant difference existed between control group and Ad-Mathl-EGFP scala vestibuli delivery group.Conclusion The Ad(E1,E3-Deleted)is safe for vestibular and cochlea hair cells and can be used as an ideal vector of gene transfer.
