Background and purpose:The expression ofRab11 gene was increased incervical cancer cell and may be involved in the cellular malignant transformation. This study used the sequence-speciifc siRNA knocking down the expression of Rab11 gene and aimed to investigate its effect on invasion and migration of cervical cancer cell lines HeLa/SiHa and its mechanism.Methods:HeLa/SiHa cells were divided into 2 groups: non-speciifc siRNA group transfected with unrelated siRNA (Rab11-NC) and Rab11 siRNA group transfected with Rab11 siRNA (Rab11siRNA). Western blot was used to examine the Rab11 protein expression. Cell migration and invasion were detected by cell scratch and Transwell invasion assay. Western blot was used to further investigate the expression of Rac1, matrix metal-loproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 which were critical for regulating cell invasion. Moreover, immunolfuorescence was used to identify intracellular location of Rac1 in HeLa/SiHa cells.Results:The Rab11 siRNA inhibited expression of Rab11 gene (P<0.01). The invasion and migration capacities of HeLa/SiHa cells were markedly inhibited in Rab11siR-NA group (P<0.05). The expression of Rac1 signiifcantly decreased (P<0.01). The expression of MMP2 and MMP9 de-creased (P<0.05) as well. The recruitment of Rac1 to protruding edge signiifcantly decreased following down-regulation of Rab11.Conclusion:Down-regulatedRab11 expression could inhibit the expression of Rac1, MMP2 and MMP9, and alter the location of Rac1, leading to suppression of HeLa/SiHa cells migration and invasion.

Objective To investigate the results of follow-up visits of pregnancy course, delivery and infants of women who got clinically pregnant by assisted reproductive technique after gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) added for luteal support, and to analyse the influence of adding GnRH-a in luteal support on the safety of mother and infant. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on the medical record from 215 patients who got clinically pregnant after luteal phase long regimen fresh-cycle transfer was operated. According to the differences in luteal support methods, the patients were assigned to Group A (124 patients, progesterone+dydrogesterone group), Group B (91 patients, GnRH-a added group). The patients′ pregnancy course, delivery time, and the growth and development of infants within 1-2 years were followed up. Results (1)There was no obvious difference between Group A and Group B in terms of the abortion ratio during the early pregnancy (8.1%, 12.1%), the rate of abortion villous deformity (50.0%, 9.1%), the rate of heterotopic pregnancy (10.5%, 5.5%) and rate of twin pregnancy (19.4%, 28.6%;all P>0.05).(2)Compared to group A, during the middle and late pregnancy of single or twin pregnancy in Group B , there was no obvious difference in the rate of fetal chromosomal abnormality, organ malformation incidence, late abortion rate and stillbirth rate (all P>0.05).(3)As to childbirth, in the case of twin pregnancy, there was a higher rate of premature delivery (60.0%, 39.1%;P=0.041), as well as rate of lower birth weight of newborn (56.0%, 34.8%; P=0.037) in group B.(4)The statistics on general growth and development as well as infantile common diseases within 2 years after birth indicated that there was no obvious difference between the two groups in single birth and twin birth subgroup (all P>0.05). Conclusion On the basis of controlling of implanted embryos and reducing the occurrence of twins, GnRH-a luteal support maybe relatively safe and effective.
