AIM: To explore the effects of the combined use of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) and cisplatin on apoptosis of HL-60 cells. METHODS: PCR-ELISA was used to determine telomerase activity in HL-60 cells untreated or treated with ASODN, the expression levels of hTERT protein were assayed by immunofluorescence using fluoresce isothiocyanate (FITC) label. Apoptosis was detected by DNA electrophoresis and flow cytomertric cell cycle analysis. RESULTS: The expression levels of hTERT protein and telomerase activity in HL-60 cells treated with ASODN were shown to decrease with time, the DNA fragments were obviously found and the percentage of apoptosis cells was significantly enhanced in HL-60 cells with the combined use of hTERT ASODN and cisplatin compared with the combined use of hTERT sense oligodeoxynucleotide and cisplatin or cisplatin alone, respectively. CONCLUSION: Inhibition of telomerase activity by hTERT ASODN increases the cisplatin-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells.

BACKGROUND:Fibroblast growth factor can promote proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).grew along the wall.However,there are few reports on the differentiation of MSCs into hepatocytes following fibroblast growth factor induction.When mass concentration of hepatocyte growth factor was 1 μg/L,it can promote mitosis of hepatocytes,and is the strongest mitogenic agent for normal hepatocytes.OBJECTIVE:To explore the biological characteristics of human umbilical cord MSCs/n vitro and their differentiation ability to hepatocyte-like cells under the induction of chemical factors.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The cytological in vitro study was conducted at the Institute of Blood,Jinan University from August 2008 to April 2009.MATERIALS:Umbilical cord was obtained from healthy full-term fetus,which was provided by the Guangzhou Huaqiao Hospital.The parturient signed informed consent.Hepatocyte growth factor and flbroblast growth factor were bought from Peprotech,USA.METHODS:The MSCs from human cord were isolated and cultured by type Ⅳ colagenase digestion+differential adherence.At the third passage,MSCs received cell surface antigen analysis and cell cycle determination to detect their ability to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts.At the fifth passage,MSCs were adjusted into 5×10~9/L and assigned into 2 groups.BMSCs in the control group were incubated in DMEM/F12 containing 5% fetal bovine serum.BMSCs in the induction group were treated with above-mentioned medium supplemented with 20 μg/L hepatocyte growth factor and 10 μg/L flbroblast growth factor.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The following parameters were measured:biological characteristics of human umbilical cord MSCs and differentiation of human umbilical cord MSCs into hepatocyte-like cells in vitro.RESULTS:At the third passage,MSCs derived from human cord expressed CD29,CD44,CD105,but not antigens of hematopoietic CD34,CD45,and 92.2% of them were in G_0/G_1 phase.Oil red O staining showed cytoplasm presented red granules.Alkaline phosphatase staining demonstrated that cytoplasm was black,with the differentiation ability into adipocytes and osteoblasts.Following 10 days of combined induction of hepstocyte growth factor and fibroblast growth factor,RT-PCR and Western blot results confirmed that cells expressed alpha fetoprotein and albumin.Negative expression was found in the control group.CONCLUSION:Human umbilical cord contained plenty of MSCs,with strong potential of multi-differentiation.Umbilical cord MSCs can differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells following combined induction of hepatocyte growth factor and fibroblast growth factor.

Objective Nine VEGF siRNAs were designed and their efficiencys were evaluated for introducing new and effective design rules of siRNA.Methods Nine VEGF siRNA sequences with nineteen nucleic acids were designed.After construction in vitro,VEGF siRNAs were transferred into neuroglioma cells by lipofectamine.The level of VEGF protein in the media was determined by ELISA 48 hours after transferring.The relationship between the characteristics of VEGF siRNA and its' interfering effect were analyzed.Results A quantitative parameter called H-b index were used to characterize the secondary structure of VEGF mRNA.A low value of the H-b index would mean that the structure of mRNA is loose,in which the nucleotides of the targeting region are likely to be accessible by siRNA and the effects are better.The experiments showed a negative correlation between the suppression of VEGF protein expression and H-b index(r=-0.498).The H-b indexs of siRNAs targeting VEGF mRNA 386～406 and 401～421 position were less,however the effects of suppression were better.The siRNAs conferred a strong RNAi activity with A residue at position 6 and A/U residues at position 19 of sense strand of siRNAs.Thethermodynamic properties of siRNA play a critical role in the transferring effects.The lower average of internal stability values for positions 9～14 of the antisense strand is facilitating the interfering effect.The lower binding energy is the more stable incorporation between antisense strand of siRNA and mRNA present,the more favorable is for RISC cleaving mRNA.Conclusions The sequences of VEGF siRNA have been designed successfully and effectively inhibited the expression of VEGF protein.

Objective:To determine whether the bcl-2 antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) can increase the sensitivity of NCI-H460 cell lines to docetaxel or radiation. Methods: Docetaxel in combination with bcl-2 ASODN or non-sense oligonucleotide (NSODN) was used to treat NCI-H460 cells, and then IC_~50 of docetaxel against NCI-H460 cells was determined with MTT method. In radiation group, NCI-H460 cells were divided into pure radiation, radiation plus bcl-2 ASODN, and radiation plus NSODN groups. The inhibition rates of cell growth were assayed by MTT, and the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were assayed by immunofluorescence. Results: IC_~50 in bcl-2 ASODN plus docetaxel, pure docetaxel and NSODN plus docetaxel groups was (0.101?0.009) ?mol/L,(0.183?0.018)?mol/L, and (0.179?0.016)?mol/L, respectively. The differences between the first group and the latter 2 groups were significant (P

Objective To study whether stem cell antigen-positive(Sca-1 + )cells from fetal liver can differentiate into neural cells. Methods Sca-1+ cells from male fetal liver were isolated with a magnetic cell sorting kit and transplanted into lethally irradiated female mice (2?103 cells/mouse). The donor cells and their characteristics in recipient brains were identified and detected by FISH and immunohistochemistry double-staining analysis at 2, 4, 6 months after transplantation. Results There existed many male cells in brains of female recipients, including white and gray matters, for brain, midbrain, the ependyma of the ventricular system, and the choroid plexus of the lateral ventri cle. Immunochemistry revealed that the Y chromosome-positive cells expressed many neural specific markers, including Neu N, TuJ-1 , NF-M, GFAP and so on. Statistic analysis showed that ratio of Y chromosome positive cells in brain was (4. 5 ? 0. 5) %, ratio of both Y chromosome and NeuN posi live cells (1. 2 ? 0. 3) %. ratio of both Y chromosome and GFAP positive cells (1. 0 ? 0. 2) %. There was no difference between the ratios of Y chromosome-positive cells in brains 2,4, and 6 month after transplantation. Conclusion Sca-1 + cells from fetal liver, the most of which are regarded as hemato-poietic stem cells, can differentiate into neural cells and astrocytes in the brains of adult mice and survive more than 6 months.
