Objective:To identify the relationship between expression of protein kinase R(PKR), phosphating PKR, EIF2α(p-PKR, p-EIF2α) in PKR→EIF2α signal transduction passage and the grades of cervical lesions, the role in generation and progression of cervical tumor and their effects to prognosis of cervical cancer patients. Methods:The expressions of PKR, p-PKR and p-EIF2α in human cervical cancer tissue of 63 cases, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CINⅠ-Ⅲ) of 114 cases and normal cervical epithelium of 15 cases were detected by immunohistochemical technique. Results:With the increase in grades of cervical lesions, the positive-expression rate of PKR increased and significantly correlated with the grades of cervical lesions(P < 0.05). With the increase in grades of cervical lesions, the positive-expression rates of p-PKR and p-EIF2α increased firstly, and then decreased. In cervical cancer group, the positive-expression rate of PKR was much higher than that of p-PKR(P < 0.01). The development and progression was quicker in later clinical stages of cervical cancer than that of earlier clinical stages of cervical cancer (P < 0.01). The development and progression of cervical cancer was quicker in patients with negative-expression of p-PKR and p-EIF2α than that in patients with positive-expression of p-PKR and p-EIF2α(P < 0.05). Conclusion:The positive-expression rate of PKR was correlated with the grades of cervical lesions. There are some factors which can impede PKR and EIF2α to be phosphorylated or make p-PKR and p-EIF2α dephosphorylate in high level cervical lesions, which promotes the development and progression of cervical lesions, worsens the prognosis of cervical cancer.

Objective To explore the relationship of signal transduction among human papillomavirus 18 E6 oncoprotein (HPV18E6), signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (STAT1), protein kinase R( PKR )/α subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 ( eIF2α ), nuclear factor-kappa Bp65 ( NF-κBp65 ), mitogen-activated protein kinase( MAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) ,and possible molecular mechanism. Methods Construct two lentiviral vectors which contain shRNA interfering sequence aiming at the targets of HPV18E6 oncogene and NC sequence( HPV18E6-RNAi-LV, NC-GFP-LV), based on the transduction with HPV18E6-RNAi-LV and NC-GFP-LV into HeLa cell to interfere the expression of HPV18E6 oncogene and NC sequence,the expressions of mRNA and protein( including phosphating patem)of HPV18E6, STATI, PKR, eIF2α, NF-κBp65, MAPK, JNK are measured with RT-PCR and Western blot, the difference of proliferation and sensitivity to carboplatin of HeLa cell are determined with Transwell cell methods and MTT among every groups. Results The expression of HPV18E6 oncogene can affect the expression level of mRNA and protein of NF-κBp65 and PKR genes, also affect phosphating levels of phosphating protein p-STAT1, p-PKR and p-eIF2α;the restraining rates of proliferation and sensitivity to carboplatin of HeLa cell are higher in HPV18E6-RNAi-LV group than the other groups( P<0. 05 or P<0.01 ). Conclusion HPV18E6 oncoprotein not only reduces the expression of PKR but dephosphorylates p-STAT1, pPKR and p-eIF2α to restrain activation of PKR/eIF2α signal transduction passage, maintain the proliferation and invading ability of HeLa cell and restrain apoptosis. The signal transduction among HPV18E6, MAPK/JNK are not clear.

Objective To study the changes of DNA repair genes and enhanced anti-tumor effect of cisplatin induced by mifepristone in human ovarian cancer drug resistance cells.Methods The alterations of cisplatin concentration producing 50%inhibition(IC50)in the COC1/DDP cell lines were examined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay.RT-PCR and flow cytometry were used to analyze the changes of the mRNA of ERCC1,BRCA1,hMLH1 genes and cell cycle and apoptosis.Subcutaneous implantation of COC1/DDP was established in nude mice and the enhanced anti-tumor effect of cisplatin by mifepristone was observed in vivo.ResultsCisplatin IC50 values of COC1/DDP cell were decreased from(3.71±0.38)μg/ml to(3.18±0.46),(1.95±0.14),(0.64±0,18)μg/ml respectively when treated with 2.5,5.0,10.0 μmol/L mifepristone.Mifepristone could down-regulate the mRNA levels of ERCC1,BRCA1,hMLH1 genes and enhance G0/G1 phase block effect pf cisplatin,and 2.5,5.0,10.0 μmol/L mifepristone combined with cisplatin increased rate of cell apoptosis from 0.08%to 5.11%,9.13%and 12.24% respectively.The percentage of inhibition of xenograft tumor volume in combined treatment group was 70.1%,which was significantly different(P<0.05).Conclusion By down-regulating ERCC1,BRCA1,hMLH1 genes,blocking G0/G1 phase,and increasing apoptosis rate,mifepristone could enhance anti-tumor effect of cisplatin.

Objective: To analyze the influence of semen processing methods on the proportion of the aneuploid sperm by detecting the sperm's chromosome X, Y, 18 using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Methods: Ten patients with mild ohgoasthenosperia, who were received ICSI treatment, were included in this study. Five semen samples of the patients were randomly selected to detect using Swim-up method (A group) and 5 using sperm-grad double-density centrifugation method (B group).Another 5 patients with mild oligo-asthenosperia were as control (C group). The CEPX / Y and CEP18 probe was used to detect the sperm of these 15 patients by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The proportion of aneuploid sperm was compared in three groups. Results: The sex chromosome aneuploid rates were (4.21±2.49)%, (3.24~1.49) % and (2.62±0.89) % in control, A and B groups. The rates of aneuploid chromosome 18 were (3.00±1.22)%, (2.00~1.22)% and (2.00±1.22)% in control, A and B groups. There were no significant differences in three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that the methods of Swim-up and Sperm-Grad double-density gradient centrifugation could select sperms in motility potential and teratospermia,but not in normal chromosome sperms.

Objective To study changes of cisplatin sensitivity by RNA interfering the excision repair cross-complementing (ERCC) 1 gene in ovarian cancer cell lines. Methods The small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting ERCC1 gene was designed and synthesized by transcription in vitro, and transfected to ovarian cancer cell line ES-2. The mRNA and protein of ERCC1 were evaluated by means of RT-PCR, western blot and immunocytochemistry. The changes of cisplatin sensitivity after interference were examined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Results In ES-2 cell, the mRNA and protein levels of ERCC1 were dramatically decreased 24, 48 and 72 hours after transfection. The sensitivity to cisplatin of ES-2 cell line was increased by 53.88 times after disturbing the ERCC1 gene. Conclusion The sensitivity to cisplatin of ovarian cancer cell lines ES-2 could be enhanced by RNA interfering ERCC1 gene.
