OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of hIL-24 gene on proliferation, migration and invasion activity of human keloid fibroblasts (KFs).
METHODShIL-24 gene was cloned into lentivirus vector, then the lentivirus particles expressing hlL-24 were infected into KF cells. Real-time PCR and Western blot were performed to examine the expression of hIL-24 in lentivirus infected cells. The growth ability was detected by MTT assay. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry, The invasion and migration were detected by matrigel invasion assay and wound healing assay.
RESULTSComparing to controls group and KF-NC group, the expression levels of hIL-24 mRNA and protein were both significantly up-regulated after 4 days of hIL-24 lentivims infection. Comparing with the KF-NC group, MTT assay showed that the A490 of KF-hlL-24 group was down-regulated after lentivims infection ( P < 0. 05 ). Comparing with the KF-NC group, Cell cycle test revealed hlL-24 gene could block KF cells in G1 [(75. 40 ±2. 10)% ] , the proportion of KF cells was decreased in S phase [(4. 96 ± 1. 60)% ] and G2 phase [(0.01 ± 0.01)% ]. After KF cells were infected(P <0.01). Transfection of hlL-24 lentivirus inhibited the migration and invasion activity of KF cells.
CONCLUSIONLentivirus-mediated hlL-24 gene efficiently inhibits proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration and invasion activity of KF cells.

Da Vinci robot has been widely used in pancreatic surgery nowadays. Pancreatic surgery is known as a difficult procedure in general surgery due to its surgical difficulty, complex anatomy, severe postoperative complications and high perioperative mortality. Vascular variation is another key point in surgical operation, which demands lots of attention and careful management. In physiological state, abdominal blood vessels may vary in different phenotypes, which occasionally cause troubles to surgeons, resulting in increased risk of vascular injuries, perioperative hemorrhage, hepatic or bile duct ischemia and consequent leakage and the like. Based on the previous research and our experience, it is recommended that the vascular variations be treated by specific surgical approaches and techniques in robot-assisted pancreatic surgery.
