Tumor 2010;(1):26-30
Objective:The study was to investigate the effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody (cetuximab,C225) combined with cyclooxygenase 2(COX-2)inhibitor (nimesulide) on the proliferation and apoptosis of colon cancer HT-29 cells, and explore the potential molecular mechanism. Methods:C225 and nimesulide alone or in combination were incubated with HT-29 cells. MTT assay was used to measure the cell proliferation. AO/EB staining and flow cytometry were used to measure the cell apoptosis. RT-PCR was used to detect the COX-2 and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene (NAG-1) mRNA expression levels. The expression of Akt and phosphor-Akt protein was examined by Western blotting. Results:The inhibitory effect of nimesulide combined with C225 was significantly stronger than that of nimesulide alone [(72.8±2.3)% vs (51.8±1.8)% , P<0.05]at 48 h. Typical changes of apoptosis in HT-29 cells were observed in nimesulide combined with C225 treatment group. The apoptosis rate of combined group was significantly higher than that of single nimesulide group [(57.67±0.86)% vs(33.27±1.47)%]and single C225 group [(6.27±0.55)%,P<0.05]. C225 down-regulated the expression of COX-2 mRNA. The expression of NAG-1 mRNA was up-regulated in all treatment groups and the expression of phosphor-Akt was significantly down-regulated in combined treatment group than single nimesulide or C225 group. Conclusion:Nimesulide combined with C225 has obvious synergistic effects in inducing apoptosis. The potential mechanisms may be that EGFR signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of cycloxygenase-2 expression in HT-29 cells and finally influence the proliferation and apoptosis of HT-29 cells through the up-regulation of NAG-1 and down-regulation of phosphor-Akt expression.

Objeictivie To investigate the diagnostic value of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) antibody, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies and glucose-6-phospha-teisomerase (GP1) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Anti-MCV antibody, GPI and anti-CCP antibody were detected in serum samples of 109 RA patients, 24 non-RA rheumatic diseases patients and 19 healthy blood donors. The sensitivity and specificity of these parameters for the diagnosis of RA were analyzed. Results Both the positive rate and average cut off concentration of anti-MCV and GPI in RA were higher than those of non-RA rheumatic diseases or healthy controls (P<0.05). A significant difference was found between anti-MCV and GPI in RA patients. The most sensitive and specific parameter in RA was anti-MCV (99.1%) and anti-CCP (90.7%) respectively, but, when anti-MCV combined with anti-CCP, or GPI or anti-CCP and GPI, the specificity could be up to 98.1%. Coniclusions Anti-MCV, anti-CCP and GPI alone or in combination may be valuable parameters for the diagnosis of RA.

Objective To investigate the effects of shRNA targeting a disintegrin and metalloproteinases 17(ADAM17)on the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells in hypoxia environment.Methods The four specific ADAM17-shRNA se-quences aiming at ADAM17 were designed,transfected into MCF-7 cells by electroporation,and cultured in hypoxia environment. The experiment was divided into the control group (blank phosphate buffer solution,PBS),nonsense sequence group (transfected with ADAM17-shNC)and shRNA transfection group (transfected with ADAM17-shRNA,the highest silencing efficiency of shR-NA was selected for following experiments).Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of ADAM17 mRNA.The prolifera-tion ability and cell cycle change of MCF-7 cells were detected by iCELLigence and flow cytometry (FCM),respectively.Results Compared with control group and nonsense sequence group,the four ADAM17-shRNA transfection groups all had the silence effect on ADAM17 gene expression (P <0.05 ),the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05 ),particularly shRNA1219 had the highest inhibitory rate (F =5.11,P <0.01 ).The cellular proliferation ability and cell growth speed in the shRNA transfection group were significantly decreased compared with the control group and nonsense sequence group (P <0.05).Most cells of shRNA transfection group remained in the G0/G1 phase (73.35 ± 2.45 ),which in the control group and nonsense sequence group was (62.56±2.35)and (62.68 ±1.20)respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).The cell cycle progression was significantly delayed.Conclusion ADAM17-shRNA inhibits the proliferation of MCF-7 cells under hypoxic environment.
