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 regulation of immune function in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) by the secretion of T cell 1 (Th1) gamma interferon gamma (IFN-γ) in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Methods From January 2011 to January 2014, 20 cases of laboratory-confirmed AIDS patients were collected for research. Patients with AIDS received highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART group), while 20 healthy volunteers were selected as control group. Before receiving highly active anti-retroviral treatment in six months and 12 months , the patients with AIDS were collected in blood study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in separated culture group and IFN-γ co-culture group for testing culture differential expression of cytokines and immune cells in solution. Results Before treatment in 6 months and 12 months , the supernatants in the cultured alone group and IFN-γ co-culture group by IL-12, IL-21 levels were significantly lower than that in the healthy group (P < 0.05); After treatment in 6 months and 12 months , the supernatants in the IFN-γ co-culture group by IL-12 and IL-21 levels were significantly higher than that in the cultured alone group (PP < 0.05). Before treatment in 6 months and 12 months,the level of IP-10 and CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3Treg cells in the cultured alone group and IFN-γ co-culture group, were significantly higher than the healthy group (P < 0.05); After treatment in 6 months and 12 months, the supernatant in the IFN-γ co-culture group was significantly higher than the average in the cultured alone group in IP-10; CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3Treg cells in the IFN-γ co-culture group were significantly lower than that in the cultured alone group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients with AIDS received highly active anti-retroviral therapy can improve the immunity. IFN-γ may further stimulate the secretion of immune cytokine in patients with AIDS.
