Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(11):840-843
Toll like receptors (TLRs) are the most characteristic of pathogen recognition receptors.TLR signal pathway affects the outcome of cervical HPV infection,and plays double roles of promoting or inhibiting tumor in immune regulation for the process from high-risk HPV infection to cervical cancer.The polymorphism of TLR gene is closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer.

The generation and activity of serum neuralizing antibody in cynomolgus monkeys and SD rats undergoing long-term toxicity study with antitumor peptides HM-3 were investigated.The rats were administered intravenously with HM-3 at doses of 4.5 mg/kg,13.5 mg/kg,and 40.5 mg/kg for 6 months,and the cynomolgus monkeys were administrated intravenously with HM-3 at doses of 3 mg/kg,9 mg/kg and 27 mg/kg for 6 months,respectively.Anti-HM-3 antibodies and their neutralizing activities in serum samples taken every month after the administrations were determined by ELISA and cell migration assay,respectively.During the long-term administrations,anti-HM-3 antibodies were generated in some SD rats at high and moderate dose groups,and the antibody-neutralizing activities could be detected in a number of these samples (P <0.05).However,activity could be detected in very few monkeys (P < 0.05),and the antibody titers were not correlated with the neutralizing activities.Therefore,we conclude that the antigenicity of HM-3 was low,but after long-term administration at high dose,low affinity neutralizing antibody could be generated in small number of samples.

Aim To investigate the expression of CD31 , CD105 , HIF-1αand VEGF in xenografts tumor of HT-29 tumor cells during different stages of growth. Methods HT-29 tumor cells were transplanted into nude mice, the tumor was removed when the tumor volumes reached <100 mm3 , 100 ~300 mm3 and >300 mm3 respectively. Immunochemical method was a-dopted to detect the expression of CD31 , CD105 , HIF-1α and VEGF. Results HT-29 xenografts tumor vol-umes <100 mm3 , 100 ~300 mm3 , and >300 mm3 showed expressions with CD31-MVD at 37.40±4.17 , 18.80±1.72 and 14.20±2.23 respectively; CD105-MVD at 22.80 ±3.54 , 15.60 ±1.35 and 10.20 ±2.48; positive expression rate of VEGF was 26.20%
±0.83%,40.73% ±6.29% and 13.41% ±1.20%respectively; while positive expression rate of HIF-1αwas 3.20% ± 2.97%, 11.89% ± 1.94% and 80.62% ±3.47% respectively. On the other hand, for different volumes group, CD31-MVD, CD105-MVD, VEGF and HIF-1αexpression ratios had signifi-cant differences ( P <0.01 ) . Conclusions The ex-pression of MVD and vascular-related factors within the tumor caused by HT-29 xenografts tumor in nude mice at different growth stages was varied. There was a cer-tain correlation between tumor volume and MVD, VEGF, HIF-1α.

Aim To investigate effects of ZX-5 on the expression and activity of nitric oxide synthase ( NOS) in endothelial cells,and to confirm which kind of NOS increases NO production and promote choroidal blood flow in ZX-5 -induced HUVECs. Methods HUVECs ( human umbilical vein endothelial cells) were used to determine the expression of eNOS,iNOS and nNOS by Western blot; the activities of NOS were investigated by the corresponding kit. Results ( R,R) ZX-5 upregulated eNOS expression and increased NO production; ( S,S) ZX-5 upregulated iNOS expression and slightly increased NO release. Conclusions ( R,R) ZX-5 promotes choroidal blood flow via upregulating eNOS expression and activity and promoting NO production; the compound may be used for the prevention and treatment of age-related macular degeneration in the elderly.

The cultured islet cells of newborn pig were transplanted into the mesenteric cavities (the first & second group), kidney cystic(the third group) and brain tissucs (the fourth group) of the 4 groups adult Sprague-Dawley rats. The first group rats drank Glycyrrhiza uralensis water, after 8~11weeks of operation a examination pathological was made with the cut graft The results showed that the first and second group grafts survived over 11weeks, and survived better the group drunk the Glycyrrhiza uralensis water was much better than other.
