Objective To explore the expression of transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) and major histocompatibility complex class (MHC)-Ⅰ molecule in malignant melanoma cell lines. Methods Three malignant melanoma cell lines, including A375, A875, and KZ28 cells as well as normal melanocytes were cultured. Western blot, reverse transcription PCR and flow cytometry were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of TAP as well as the membrane expression of MHC-Ⅰ in these cells. Results A significant decrease was observed in the expression of TAP mRNA (t = 5.89, 4.45 and 4.57 re-spectively, all P< 0.01) and protein (t= 5.46, 4.32 and 4.67 respectively, all P< 0.01) in A375, A875 and KZ28 cells compared with the melanocytes, with the strongest decrease occurring in A375 cells. Similarly, the expression of MHC-Ⅰ molecule was significantly lower in A375, A875 and KZ28 cells than that in the melanocytes (t= 6.16, 5.22 and 5.61 respectively, all P< 0.01).Conclusions The protein and mRNA expres-sion of TAP is down-regulated in three melanoma cell lines A375, A875 and AZ28, which may contribute to the escape of melanoma cells from human immune surveillance.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) in peripheral blood and lesions of psoriatic patients. Methods Peripheral blood and skin samples were obtained from 30 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 20 normal controls. Flow cytometry was used to detect intracellular c-FLIP protein in peripheral T and B lymphocytes, immunohistochemistry to examine the expression of c-FLIP in lesional tissue. Results Based on the positivity rate of c-FLIP, there was a significant increase in T lymphocytes in active psoriasis compared with regressive psoriasis and normal controls (6.32%±1.17% vs 2.64%±0.74% and 2.28%±0.54%, P<0.01 and 0.05, respectively), while no significant difference was found in B lymphocytes among these three groups (0.78%±0.16%, 0.71%±0.32%, 0.69%±0.18%, respectively, P>0.05). The expression intensity of c-FLIP in keratinocytes was also higher in active psoriasis than in regressive psoriasis and normal controls (89.73±5.24 vs 117.40±7.50,121.58±7.93, P<0.01 and 0.05 respectively), and there was no difference between regressive psoriasis and normal controls (P>0.05). Conclusions c-FLIP is highly expressed in lesions and peripheral T lymphocytes of patients with active psoriasis, suggesting the possible involvement of c-FLIP in the proliferation of T lymphocytes in psoriasis.
