Abstract:
Objective:To transfer the interleukin 37 (IL-37) gene to cervical cancer Hela cells,and to explore the killing effect of IL-37 on the HeLa cells and its enhancement in the chemotherapy sensitivity of HeLa cells.Methods:The pIRES2-EGFP (NC group) and pIRES2-EGFP/IL-37 (IL-37 group) plasmids were transfected into the HeLa cells.Q-PCR and Western blotting methods were used to detect the expression levels of IL-37 mRNA and protein.The activities of HeLa cells in NC group,IL-37 group,DDP group and IL-37+DDP group were detected by CCK8 method,and the inhibitory rates of cells were calculated.The gene expressions of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and Cyclin D1 were detected by RT-PCR method.Results:Compared with NC group,the expression levels of IL-37 mRNA and protein in IL-37 group were significantly increased (P＜0.01).The activities of HeLa cells in DDP (5-15 mg · L-1) groups were inhibited after administration for 24-72 h (P＜ 0.01);the inhibitory rates in IL-37 + DDP group were higher than those in DDP group within 48 h after administration (P＜0.05).Compared with IL-37 group,the inhibitory rates in IL-37+DDP group was increased with 96 h after administration (P＜0.05).Compared with NC group,the expression levels of STAT3 and Cyclin D1 mRNA in IL-37 group were significantly decreased (P＜0.01).Conclusion:The over-expression of IL-37 can inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer cells and enhance the effect of DDP on the chemotherapy of cervical cancer cells which may be related to the down-regulation of the expressions of STAT3 and Cyclin D1 by IL-37.
