The research on intracellular trafficking of adenovirus has been described mainly through observations of subgroup C adenoviruses in transformed cell lines. The basic elements of the trafficking pathway include binding to receptors at the cell surface, internalization by endocytosis, lysis of the endosomal membrane, escape to the cytosol, intracellular trafficking along microtubules, nuclear pore docking, and viral genome translocation into the nucleus. More than 80% of the adenovirus genome is delivered to the nucleus in a highly efficient manner in approximately 1 h. However, exceptions to this trafficking pattern have been noted, including: variations based on target cell type, cell physiology, and adenovirus serotype. This review summarizes mechanism of adenovirus infection pathway and intracellular trafficking, providinging a foundation for the development of clinical adenoviral vector.

AIM:To explore the role of survivin-2B in the process of tumor cell apoptosis .METHODS:The survivin-2B gene was cloned into pcDNA3.1 vector and the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-survivin-2B was obtained.Hu-man breast cancer MCF7 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1-survivin-2B using Lipofectamine 2000.The cell cycle was determined by propidium iodide staining , and the apoptosis was detected by annexin V/7-AAD staining 48 h after transfection.Meanwhile, tatal RNA was extrated and multiplex polymerase chain reaction based on GenomeLab GeXP Genetic Analysis System was performed to detect the expression of 21 tumor-related genes .RESULTS: Flow cytometry analysis indicated that over-expression of survivin-2B promoted the apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of MCF 7 cells.Compared with control group , totally 10 differential expressed genes were related to the over-expressed survivin-2B, among which 2 were up-regulated and 8 were down-regulated. The expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 family member A1 (ALDH4A1) was 48%down-regulated, and the expression of protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1) was 1.08 folds up-regulated.CONCLUSION:Survivin-2B induces the expression changes of some tumor-related genes, which results in the apoptosis and G 2/M arrest of MCF7 cells.

Objective:To investigate effects of tumor specific TCR gene Vα12.2-Vβ7.1 modification on recognition of tumor antigen and activation of anti-tumor reactivity of T cells.Methods: T cells were transduced using recombinant Ad 5F35-TRAV-TRBV adenovirus ,and multiplicity of infection was optimized.Specific lysis of T cells was evaluated by calcein release assay.The frequency of apoptotic cells in target cells was detected by Annexin V /PI double-labeled FACS.The expression of FasL on T cells was analyzed by FACS.The secretion of cytokine IFN-γand IL-2 of T cells was determined by ELISA assays.Results: The highest tranduce efficiency was obtained at MOI 100 by recombinant Ad5F35-TRAV-TRBV adenovirus.The frequency of TCRVα12+Vβ7+cells reached above 25%3 days after transduction.TCR gene modification enhanced the ability of T cells to lyse HLA-A2+AFP+target cells(P<0.001), the ability of T cells to induce HepG-2 apoptosis(P<0.001),and expression of FasL on T cells(P<0.001).TCR gene modification also enhanced T cells to secret IFN-γafter coculture with antigen positive tumor cells ( P<0.001 ).Conclusion: Specific TCR gene modification by recombinant adeno virus effectively promotes T cells to recognize antigen positive tumor cell and exert anti -tumor reac-tivity.

Background and purpose:Rabs are members of Ras-related small GTPase superfamily. Rab27A is a unique member in the Rab family and has specific implications in human genetic diseases. We studied the potential role of Rab27A in proliferation, distribution of cell cycle, apoptosis and invasion of breast cancer cells and its mechanism(s). Methods:The eukaryotic expression vector containing Rab27A open reading frame (ORF) pcDNA3.1(+) - Rab27A was constructed and transfected into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Then we detected the changes in terms of cell growth, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis and in vitro invasion capability before and after transfection. We also applied RT-PCR to investigate the molecular basis.Results:① The expression of Rab27A was increased as invasive and metastatic ability increased in four human breast cancer cell lines. ② Overexpression of Rab27A can promote breast cancer cells to grow faster, increase the proportion of S phase cells, avoid apoptosis and invade in vitro. ③ Rab27A transfectants constitutively enhanced the expression of Cyclin D1, MMP-7 and MMP-9 in MDA-MB-231 cell lines, on the contrary, that of p16 were down-regulated constitutively. Reduced Rab27A expression by RNAi down-regulated the expression of Cyclin D1, MMP-7 and MMP-9, and up-regulated p16 expression.Conclusions:Rab27A can stimulate breast cancer cells to proliferate, increase the proportion of cells in S phase,avoid apoptosis and invade in vitro by regulating the expression of Cyclin D1, MMP-7, MMP-9 and p16.

Objective To investigate the effect of tricostantin A (TSA) on self-renewal of breast cancer stem cells and explore the mechanisms. Methods Breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and SKBR3 were cultured in suspension and treated with different concentrations of TSA for 7 days, using 0.1% DMSO as the control. Secondary mammosphere formation efficiency and percentage of CD44+/CD24-sub-population in the primary mammospheres were used to evaluate the effects of TSA on self-renewal of breast cancer stem cells. The breast cancer stem cell surface marker CD44+/CD24- and the percentage of apoptosis in the primary mammospheres were assayed using flow cytometry. The mRNA expressions of Nanog, Sox2 and Oct4 in the primary mammospheres were assayed with quantitative PCR. Results TSA at both 100 and 500 nmol/L, but not at 10 nmol/L, partially inhibited the self-renewal of breast cancer stem cells from the 4 cell lines. TSA at 500 nmol/L induced cell apoptosis in the primary mammospheres. TSA down-regulated the mRNA expression of Nanog and Sox2 in the primary mammospheres. Conclusions TSA can partially inhibit the self-renewal of breast cancer stem cells through a mechanism involving the down-regulation of Nanog and Sox2 expression, indicating the value of combined treatments with low-dose TSA and other anticancer drugs to achieve maximum inhibition of breast cancer stem cell self-renewal. The core transcriptional factor of embryonic stem cells Nanog and Sox2 can be potential targets of anticancer therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene in immune killing of hepatoma cells.MethodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and hepatoma cells were co-cultured with different effector-target ratios. The expression of KIR gene family in PBMC, the content to interferon-γ (IFN-γ), the morphological change of hepatoma cell and the cytotoxicity to hepatoma cell by PBMC were observed after the co-incubation with different effector-target ratios. The comparison on cytotoxicity rates was conducted using one-way analysis of variance and LSD-t test.ResultsThe expression of activating KIR gene increased after 12 h of co-culture, but decreased after 24 h of co-culture. The expression of inhibitory KIR gene decreased after 12 h of co-culture. DAP12 maintained high expression all the time. The content of IFN-γ in PBMC decreased with the increase of effector-target ratio and reached the peak at 12 h of co-culture. Hepatoma cells co-cultured with different effector-target ratios were observed with increased chromatin condensation, rising proportion of cells with hemispherical or half moon shape and marginalized nucleus, and stagnant of active cell division. The cytotoxicity rate of effector-target ratio 1∶1, 10∶1 and 50∶1 was (8±3) %, (14±4) % and (32±6) %, respectively, with 50∶1 group significantly higher than 11∶1 and 10∶1 group (LSD-t=5.97, 4.61;P<0.05).ConclusionThe activating KIR gene plays an important role in immune killing of hepatoma cells.
