Objective To evaluate effects of human papilloma virus(HPV)16E7 on expressions of six tumor suppressor genes(including MT1G, NMES1, RRAD, SFRP1, SPARC and TFPI2)in a cell line SiHa, as well as on its proliferation and apoptosis. Methods SiHa cells were divided into two groups to be transfected with a small interfering RNA targeting HPV16E7(E7SiRNA, experimental group)and an empty vehicle(negative control group) respectively, with SiHa cells receiving no treatment serving as the blank control group. After 48 hours, qPCR was performed to measure the mRNA expressions of E7 and six tumor suppressor genes, CCK?8 assay to evaluate cellular proliferative activity, and flow cytometry to assess apoptosis of SiHa cells. Results At 48 hours after the transfection, the experimental group showed significantly decreased E7 mRNA expression(0.25 ± 0.036, P<0.05), but increased mRNA expressions of the six genes(MT1G 1.403 ± 0.190, NMES1 1.720 ± 0.060, RRAD 1.390 ± 0.160, SFRP1 1.493 ± 0.120, SPARC 2.157 ± 0.144, TFPI2 2.060 ± 0.122, all P < 0.05). The proliferative activity of SiHa cells was significantly decreased(0.554 ± 0.130 vs. 1.028 ± 0.236 and 1.220 ± 0.126, both P<0.05), but the apoptosis rate was significantly increased(9.222%vs. 0.246%and 0.123%, both P<0.05)in the experimental group compared with the negative control group and blank control group. No significant differences were observed between the negative control group and blank control group in proliferative activity or apoptosis rate of SiHa cells(both P>0.05). Conclusion E7 may participate in HPV16?induced cellular malignant transformation by suppressing the mRNA expressions of 6 tumor suppressor genes, including MT1G, NMES1, RRAD, SFRP1, SPAR and TFPI2.

Objective:Our purpose was to investigate the growth regulation and postreceptor signal transduction of somatostatin (SS) on human colon cancer cell line. Methods:Low differentiated clone A cells of human carcinoma were treated with different concentrations of SS and the growth status was observed. Intracellular 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) were extracted, then the concentrations of them were measured by liquid scintillation technique and gamma scintillation counter.Intracellular free calcium concentration was detected by loading Fura-2 and fluorescental technique. Protein kinase C (PKC) was extracted from cytosol and membrane, then the activity of both parts was determined with TaKai method. Results:The clone A cell growth was inhibited greatly by different concentrations of SS (10-10 to 10-5 mol/L) and it is related to the doses of SS.Somatortatin could largely inhibit the production of intracellular IP3, [Ca2+]i, and cAMP, and decrease the activity of PKC. Conclusion:The growth of Clone A cell can be inhibited by SS. The inhibition may be mediated by phosphate inositol pathway, so intracellular IP3, [Ca2+]i decreased, or inhibited the cell growth by inhibiting the activity of PKC.On the other hand, the cell proliferation may be inhibited by adenosine cyclase pathway, that is decreasing intracellular cAMP ,inhibiting cAMP-depending protein kinase.

Objective To develop a gene chip for the detection of common pathogens causing urogenital sexually transmitted infections. Methods The target pathogens were divided into three groups: viruses, bacteria, and lower eukaryotes. Three pairs of universal primers were designed and applied to amplify the target genes of these different pathogens in one PCR reaction system. The gene chips were then prepared via immobilization of the specific probes onto specially treated glass slides. Finally, the labeled amplicons were hybridized with the gene chips, scanned and analyzed using computer software. Results Amplicons were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. The fluorescence signals for specific pathogens could be recognized in the gene chips, and were identical with the positions of the specific probes. Conclusions Gene chip is a specific, sensitive and rapid method for simultaneous detection of multiple sexually transmitted infections.
