2.Growth suppression of human lung cancer cells and implanted tumors by adenovirus-mediated transfer of the PTEN gene.
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2010;30(2):149-54
This study examined the effects of a recombinant adenovirus Ad-PTEN-EGFP on the proliferation of A549 cells, a human lung carcinoma cell line, in vitro and on the growth of the implanted tumors in the nude mice in vivo, explored the underlying mechanisms and evaluated the in vitro transfection efficiency of Ad-PTEN-EGFP into A549 cells. The expression of Ad-PTEN-EGFP in the A549 cells was determined. The proliferation and the apoptosis rates of the A549 cells with Ad-PTEN-EGFP transfection or not was detected by MTT and flow cytometry. Ad-PTEN-EGFP at different doses was injected intratumorally to the tumor-bearing mice induced by the A549 cells. Tumor sizes were measured on an alternate day. After all the mice were sacrificed, the implanted tumors were removed for routine histological examination, weight test, HE staining and immunohistochemical staining. The expressions of Bax, P16 and P53 in the tumor tissues and those of caspase-3, CD34 and VEGF in the mouse sera were detected. Tumor cell apoptosis was measured by TUNEL method. The results showed that the vitality of the A549 cells after transfection with Ad-PTEN-EGFP declined. The expression of green fluorescent protein was observed under fluorescent microscope. The transfection rate was in excess of 50%. The mRNA and protein expression of PTEN in the transfected cells was confirmed. The proliferation rate of the transfected cells was significantly decreased when compared with that of the non-transfected cells (P<0.05). The number of the apoptosis cells was increased in the transfected cells (P<0.05). The models of implanted tumors were successfully established by injection of the A549 cells in the flank of Balb/c nude mice. Administration of Ad-PTEN-EGFP to the tumor-bearing nude mice resulted in a suppression of tumor growth. There were statistically significant differences in the tumor weight and tumor volume between the Ad-PTEN-EGFP-treated group and the control groups (P<0.05). In contrast to those in the control groups, tumor tissues in the Ad-PTEN-EGFP-treated group were shown to have typical extensive vacuolar degeneration and massive hemorrhagic necrosis. Apoptotic bodies were also observed in the tumor cells. The expressions of Bax, caspase-3 and P16 were increased (P<0.05) while those of CD34, VEGF and P53 decreased (P<0.05) in the Ad-PTEN-EGFP-treated group. It is concluded that Ad-PTEN-EGFP could induce the apoptosis of the A549 cells and inhibit their proliferation. And it could also substantially suppress the tumor growth in the tumor-bearing nude mice and induce apoptosis of the tumor cells as well. These findings carry significant implications for adenovirus vector-based PTEN gene therapies for lung cancers.
3.Research progress of tumor biomarkers of protein in early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2016;43(6):425-428
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers of the digestive tract with an obviously increasing incidence around the word in recent years.It is diffcults to diagnosis in the early stage because of the deficience of specific symptoms.Radical resection is the most effective method to treat pancreatic cancer,but those patient often lose radical surgery opportunity when be diagnosised at advanced stages.Their prognosis is poor.Early diagnosis can greatly improve the rates of radical resection and promote the prognosis of the disease,and reliable tumor markers can be used for early screening and early diagnosis for pancreatic cancer.In recent years,the rapidly development of proteomics and its technology makes tumor markers become a popular research fields in pancreatic cancer.
4.Progress in pancreatic cancer neural invasion
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(6):393-395
Neural invasion is an important invasion pathway of pancreatic cancer.New research shows that neural invasion of pancreatic cancer related genes in the sequential role effect,through the cell signal transduction,regulation of specific growth factors,adhesion molecules,matrix metallopmteinase and other related systems,then changed in the generation,resulting in the cancer cells invasion of the nerve tissue eventually.We reviewed the progress of neural invasion of pancreatic cancer in this paper.
5.Research progress of proteomics techniques for the pathogenesis and early diagnosis in pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(6):399-401
Therapeutic effect of pancreatic cancer depends on early detection and effective treatment.The early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is so difficult that the discovery of pancreatic cancer is often in mid and late stages,so the treatment of meaning is not so satisfying.In recent years the rapid study of proteomics has brought great hope in the early discovery of pancreatic cancer to make it the post-genome era of functional genomics research in hot areas.Separating and identifying the serum、juice and tissue of patients with pancreatic cancer to find out the different proteins between normal and sick individuals can provide theoretical base and new ideas for the pathogenesis and early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
6.Role of CD4 CD8 double-negetive T cells in tumor
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(3):166-168
In recent years,the prognosis and survival quality of tumour patient would be improved greatly through cell immunotherapy,which becomes the priority scientific research.Immunoeytes can kill the tumour cell directly or through immunoregulation.CD4CD8 double-negative T cells is a newly found subset of T cells whose SUlface express neither CD4 nor CD8.This article mainly introduces the advancement of one subet of DNT cell,DN Tregs,in tumor.
7.Advances in double negative T cells in tumor immunotherapy
International Journal of Surgery 2015;42(6):422-425
Double negative T cells,namely DNT cells,are specific regulatory cells with TCR+ CD3 + CD4-CD8-in cell phenotype,divide into αβ T cell and γδ T cell,play a very important role in regulating immunoreaction.Previous research restricted to the treatment of autoimmune disease and organ transplantation immunity.Recently dnt cells adoptive immunotherapy,as a new anti-tumor method,gradually come into public view.This review mainly focuses on the source of DNT cells,their anti-tumor effect,as well as the possible mechanism.
8.Analysis of correlation between NKG2D receptor pathway and the mechanism of DNT cell' killing effect
International Journal of Surgery 2015;42(6):429-432
NKG2D is an activating receptor expressed on various immune cells' surfaces.Currently,eight ligands have been found,they can be divided into two kinds:MHC Ⅰ related protein and ULBP molecules.NKG2D receptors and their respective ligands differentially exist in normal and cancerous tissues.So far,many researchers have found that a lot of immune cells' anti-tumor mechanism is mediated by NKG2D receptor and it can't be replaced in the resistance to the development of carcinoma.adoptive immunotherapy is a new method of treating cancer that propose to find tumor-specific cytotoxicity immune cells and enlarge the amount of it,then injected into human body to resist tumor.Recently,many researchers have found that DNT cells (CD4-CD8-T 细胞)have the function of anti-tumor;sadly its mechanisms are unclear.After the summary of NKG2D receptor-mediated pathway of destruction,this paper try to analyze its relevance to DNT cells' killing effect,on the purpose of finding the Killing mechanism of DNT cells that may existed.
9.Progress of proteomics in screening the diagnosis marker of pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(5):321-324
The proteome is the entire complement of proteins expressed by a genome, cell, tissue or organism,which are all types of proteins expressed by one cell in the specific physiological or pathological states. The study of proteomics not only can help us to understand the general rules of activity of proteins,but also illuminate the pathologic mechanisms of numerous diseases. By proteomic analysis of normal individual and pathological individuals, we can find some disease-specific protein molecules, which not only can be a new target for drug design, but also can be a molecular markers of some diseases especially tumors.
10.Value of proteomics technology in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(3):190-193
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor of digestive tract which early diagnose is very difficult and has low rate of surgical resection of advanced pancreatic cancer. However, the rate of postoperative recurrence and metastas is high. Its prognosis is poor. To improve the prognosis of pancreatic cancer , it is necessary to improve its early diagnosis and effective prediction of postoperative recurrence and metastasis. In recent years, with the development of proteomics, the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and its early diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis was possible. Wsing proteomics technology for protein differences screening, isolation and identification is conductive to early detection of pancreatic proteome changes and establishment of the markers for early diagnosis, and recurrence and metastasis of pancreatic cancer.
