OBJECTIVETo investigate if an adenovirus vector carrying antisense multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) could reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) of HepG2/ adriamycin (ADM) cells in tumors transplanted in athymic mice.
METHODSAn adenovirus vector carrying AFP promoter and antisense MDR1 was constructed. HepG2 MDR cells (HepG2/ADM) were induced by graded resistance to ADM and were subcutaneously inoculated into athymic mice to construct the transplanted tumor. After adeno-asmdr1 was injected, the volume of the transplanted tumor and the apoptotic body in the xenograft tumor cells were observed and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was employed to investigate the expression of the mdr1-mRNA from the mouse transplanted tumor cells.
RESULTSFollowing injection with adeno-asmdr1, the tumor volumes in this mice group did not increase. However the tumor volume in the PBS plus ADM group did increase significantly (P less than 0.05). In the tumor xenograft cells, mdr1 mRNA in the xenografts was assessed by RT-PCR and found to be reduced at week 1, and at week 4 in the ADM+asmdr1 group, but it was stable in the ADM group. It was only 20% in the ADM+asmdr1 group compared to the ADM group at the 4th week. Evidence of apoptosis was observed in the tumor xenograft cells treated with adeno-asmdr1, but there was rarely any apoptosis in the group treated with ADM and PBS.
CONCLUSIONAdenovirus carrying antisense mdr1 RNA can partially reverse the MDR of HepG2/ADM cells and inhibit tumor growth by down-regulating mdr1 mRNA resulting in tumor cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of human spastic paraplegia 21 protein (SPG21) on the replication of hepatitis B virus(HBV) and its regulatory mechanism.
METHODSHBV infectious clone pHBV1.3 and its promoter pHBV-Luc were transfected respectively into HepG2 cells with SPG21 of different concentrations, HBsAg and HBeAg in the supernatants were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), expression of HBV core mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and western blot, covalently closed circular DNA(ccc DNA) levels were measured by real-time PCR, and HBV promoter activity was measured by luminometer fluorescence detector.
RESULTSExpression of HBsAg, HBeAg, HBV core protein and cccDNA were upregulated by SPG21 as well as HBV promoter activity in a dose-dependent approach. The activity of HBV promoter increased to 1.63, 3.09 and 4.66 times in HepG2 cells treated with 50mug/ml, 100mug/ml and 200mug/ml SPG21 respectively during 48 hour-treated ( P less than 0.05), as compared to the control group.
CONCLUSIONSSPG21 can enhance the replication of HBV in HepG2 cells.

OBJECTIVETo study the application value of normal sperm morphology on the outcomes of classic in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).
METHODSThis study included 659 infertile couples admitted to our center for IVF-ET. Based on the percentage of morphologically normal sperm (MNS), we divided the patients into groups A (n = 112, MNS < 2%), B (n = 180, MNS > or = 2 - < 4%), C (n = 74, MNS > or = 4 - < 5%), and D (n = 293, MNS > or = 5%), and compared the rates of fertilization, normal fertilization, embryos obtained, biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, implantation, and live birth among different groups.
RESULTSThe mean fertilization rate was significantly higher in groups C (71.90%) and D (72.89%) than in A (57.97%) and B (63.29%) (P < 0.05), with no remarkable differences either between A and B (P > 0.05) or between C and D (P > 0.05). The normal fertilization rate was also significantly higher in group D (57.16%) than in A (46.52%) and B (50.89%) (both P < 0.05) as well as in C (54.67%) than in A (P < 0.05). The rate of embryos obtained, too, was markedly higher in group D (55.62%) than in B (45.75%) (P < 0.05), but none with remarkable difference from other groups (all P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences among the four groups in the rates of biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, implantation, abortion, and live birth (all P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe rate of MNS had some influence on IVF-ET, and 5% MNS exhibited a higher value than 4% MNS in predicting the outcomes of IVF.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether multidrug resistance gene 1(mdr1) could reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) in HepG2R cells.
METHODSAn adenovirus vector, Adeno-asmdr, containing the antisense RNA driven by AFP promoter, was construct. Adeno-EGFP was transfected into HepG2, an AFP producing cell line, L02, a normal human liver cell line, and HeLa, a human cervical cancer cell line, the EGFP transcription level was detected by RT-PCR. Adeno-asmdr was transfected into HepG2R cells, the expression of P-gp170 was detected by western blotting, apoptosis was detected using TUNEL and flow cytometry, cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.
RESULTSEGFP was highly expressed in HepG2 cells, however, its expression in L02 or HeLa cells was very weak. Western blot showed that the P-gp170 was marked down-regulated 48h after transfection with Adeno-asmdr, and the expression of P-gp170 was detectable at least 7d post-transfection. Compared with control cells, Adeno-asmdr transfected HepG2R cells were more sensitive to different chemicals, as indicated by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. Chemical treatment arrested the cells in S and G0/M phase.
CONCLUSIONThe recombinant adenoviral vector, Adeno-asmdr, can block the expression of mdr1, and reverse MDR in HepG2R cells.

OBJECTIVETo isolate and characterize human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs).
METHODSThe synovial membrane tissues were obtained from 4 RA patients, 1 chondroma patient and 1 healthy subject and FLS were isolated by means of tissue culture. The cell morphology was observed by phase-contrast microscope and the cell surface markers were detected by flow cytometry.
RESULTSThe FLSs were successfully cultured from the synovial membrane tissues with good cell homogeneity after the third passage. The FLSs of the 3rd to 7th passages were stable and proliferated actively, followed by slow proliferation and aging since the 8th passage. Flow cytometry showed that the 4th-passage FLSs from the RA patients contained 99.04% CD90(+) cells, 2.73% CD3(+) cells, 0.29% CD3(-)CD19(+) cells, 2.81% CD3(-)CD16(+)CD56(+) cells, 5.89% CD14(+) cells, and 54.17% CD55(+) cells. The presence of interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI, 158.63-/+20.32 pg/ml) and IL-1beta (4.67-/+0.82 pg/ml) were detected in the cell culture supernatant of the 4th-passage FLSs from the RA patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA.
CONCLUSIONFLSs from RA patients can be effectively culture by means of tissue culture, and the cultured FLSs show high expressions of CD90, IL-1RI and IL-1beta.
