EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON FIBRIN TISSUE ADHESIVE CARRYING ANTISENSE OLIGODEOXYNUCLEOTIDE / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

In order to explore the possibility and feasibility of administering antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to vascular adventia delivering by fibrin tissue adhesive, the authors first observed the physical characteristics of the adhesive, then the blue dye (methylenophin) was dissolved in the adhesive and the color change of the supernate was monitored. The adhesive with antisense oligomer inside was immerged in saline and the optical density (OD) value of the released oligomer was measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometer at different time points, then the in vitro controlled releasing curve was made. The preliminary in vitro test found the adhesive clot in 10 seconds when the two kinds of solution were mixed together, and the surface was membrane like under microscope, the clot inside was silk protein like configuration and was filled up with particle like liquid. The clot was elastic and had some reabsorbable property like that of sponge. The blue dye inside the clot gave a more and more significant dyeing of the supernate with time going. The in vitro releasing curve indicated that most oligomer was released within 72 hours. This implied that the adhesive clot is like a sponge reservoir of drugs, it could elongate the action time of antisense drug at vascular adventia.
