Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(04):-
Mononuclear cells obtained from heparinized fresh venous blood of healthy male blood donors by means of Ficoll-Hypaque densitz gradient centrifugation were subjected to petri dish adhesion and nylon-wool-column separation to harvest monocytes (Mon) and T lymphocytes (T) high purity, respectively. APF of Mon, as reflected by ~3H-TdR incorporated T proliferation, was assayed after the Mon had been preincubated with PPD (purified protein derivative, end concentration 9.25 ?g/ml), PPD+ascorbic acid, PPD+cortisol, and PPD+ascorbic acid+cortisol for 24 hours at 37℃, in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO_2. It was shown that APF of the Mon was markedly enhanced by ascorbic acid in a concentration of 3.75mM (P0.05).
2.Effect of insulin on the expression of HLA class Ⅱ antigens and antigen-presenting function of normal human monocytes
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(02):-
Insulin has been found to enhance specific immune function in experimental animals. However, it remains hitherto unnoticed whether the antigen-presenting capability and expression of Ia antigens of the macrophage, known to be essential for the induction of both cell-mediated immunity and humoral immune response to most antigens, could also be influenced by insulin. In the present study, it was demonstrated that insulin, in a concentration of 1.03?10~(-7) mol/L, promoted the antigen-presenting capability of human monocytes significantly. Furthermore, we found that the expression of HLADQ antigen on monocytes was markedly enhanced by insulin while that of HLA-DR determinant was not affected significantly. We suggested, therefore, that the promotion of antigen-presenting capability of human monocytes by insulin may be attributed, at least in part, to its enhancing effect on the expression of HLA-DQ antigen on the monocytes.

Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(05):-
Mononuclear cells separated from heparinized fresh venous blood of healthy male bloodclonors by means of Ficoll- Hypaque density gradient centrifugation were subjected to petri dish adhesion and nylon wool-column separation to obtain monocytes and T lymphocytes of high purity, respectively. Antigen- presenting capability of the monocytes, as reflected by T lymphocyte proliferation, was assayed after the monocytes had been preincubated with PPD (purified protein derivative, end concentration12.5 ?g /ml ) and methione enkephalin (M-Enk) in defferent concentrations for 24 hours at 37 ℃ in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO_2. It was shown that the antigen-presenting capability of the monocytes was markedly enhanced by M-Enk when its concentration was from 10 ~(-10) M to 10~(-14) M(close to the normal serum concentration of M-Enk), and this effect of M-Enk could be cancelled if the monocytes had been pretreated with 10~(-6) M naloxone for 30 min before addition of PPD and M-Enk, suggesting that the effect of M-Enk in these concentrations was mediated through the opioid receptors on the monocytes. M-Enk in high concentrations (10~(-4) M-10~(-6)), however, was found to inhibit th'e antigen- presenting capability significantly and this inhibition could not be cancelled by pretreatment of the monocytes with naloxone.
4.Effect of ?-endorphine on the antigenpresenting capability of normal human peripheral blood monocytes
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
When the central nervous system is stimulated, the opioid neuropeptide?-endorphine (?-EP) is liberated into the blood stream. The result of this work showedthat the antigen-presenting capability (APCP) of normal human monocytes (Mon) wasmarkedly enhanced (P0. 05), sug-gesting that the effect of ?-EP was mediated through the opioid receptors on the Mon.

Cell-cycle deregulation leading to excessive cellproliferation is an important mechanism of human tumorigenesis. CDK6 and CDK4 have been found to be significant regulators of cellcycle, particularly in promoting cell -cycle progress. Moreover, these proteins are usually overly active in most tumors and closely related to tumor development. Recently, research has confirmed CDK4/6 as prospective targets for cancer therapy. However, the mechanism of excessive CDK6 activation leading to tumorigenesis is not completely understood. Therefore, further understanding of the role of CDK4/6 in cell -cycle regulatory pathways and celldifferenti-ation is essential, as well as their overexpression in different types of tumors. This information will elucidate the mechanisms of tumor development and treatment. Therefore, this review intends to discuss the structure and biological function of CDK6, the role and mecha-nism of CDK6 in carcinogenesis, and the clinical application of CDK6 inhibitors.

Objective To investigate the different distribution of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and CD8+T cells in the local immune microenvironment of mucosal malignant melanoma and cutaneous malignant melanoma, and analyze the relationship between the two indicators and the prognosis of patients. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining was used to assess the ex?pression of Foxp3+Tregs and CD8+T cells in tumor microenvironment of 58 patients with malignant melanoma. The correlation between two factors, clinicopathological characteristics, and prognosis were analyzed. Results There is no correlation be?tween the expression of Foxp3 and CD8. The number of Foxp3+Tregs was significantly higher in mucosa malignant melanoma than that in cutaneous malignant melanoma (t=2.648, P=0.011). The proportion of Foxp3highTregs was significantly higher in pa?tients with tumor diameter≥3 cm, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis than that in patients with tumor diameter<3 cm, no lymph node metastasis and no distant metastasis (P<0.05). In addition, in patients with ulceration that proportion was significantly higher in CD8high group than that in patients without ulceration (33.3%vs 5.9%, P<0.05). The median progres?sion-free surial (PFS) was 12 months in Foxp3high group, which was significantly longer than that of Foxp3low group (31 months, P<0.05). The median PFS was significantly higher in CD8high group (25 months) than that of CD8low group (12 months, P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that the median PFS was 7 months in Foxp3high CD8low group, which was significantly lower than that of Foxp3highCD8high group (25 months) and Foxp3lowCD8low group (18 months, P=0.003). Univariate analysis showed that median PFS was different in patients with different tumor location, different number of Foxp3+Treg, different number of CD8+T cells, and distant metastases. Conclusion The number of Tregs is closely associated with metastasis in patients with malig?nant melanoma. Compared with cutaneous malignant melanoma, our results indicate that the poor prognosis of mucosal malig?nant melanoma may be associated with the infiltration of more Tregs.
