[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To compare the expression of SIRT2 in ovarian surface epithelial ( OSE) cell line and serous ovarian carcinoma ( SOC) cell lines, and to investigate the effects of SIRT2 on the cell proliferation, migration and inva-sion.METHODS:The expression levels of SIRT2 in the OSE cell line and the SOC cell lines were determined by Western blot.The SIRT2 siRNAs and overexpression construct were designed and verified.Transient transfection of SIRT2 siRNAs or overexpression construct was performed, and the effect of SIRT2 on the cell proliferation, migration and invasion was e-valuated.RESULTS:SIRT2 levels in the 5 strains of SOC cell lines were significantly lower than that in the OSE cell line.SIRT2 knockdown in HOSEpiC cells significantly enhanced the ability of cell colony formation and accelerated the cell growth rate.On the contrary, overexpression of SIRT2 in HO8910 cells dramatically repressed the number of cell colonies and cell activity.SIRT2 significantly changed the ability of ovarian cell migration.Knockdown of SIRT2 facilitated the cell invasion.CONCLUSION:The expression of SIRT2 in the SOC cells is significantly down-regulated.In the OSE cells, SIRT2 acts as a tumor suppressor and mediates the inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

The method of gene transfer into corneal endothelium was investigated to provide a foundation for the study of TGF-beta 1 gene transfer to inhibit corneal graft rejection. Two days after direct injection of pMAM TGF-beta 1 mediated by liposome into the anterior chamber of rabbits, one half of corneas were made into paraffin slides and the endothelial layer was carefully torn from the other half to make a single layer slide of endothelia. By means of immunohistochemical technique, the plasmid pMAM TGF-beta 1 expression product TGF-beta 1 in the endothelia was detected. Specific TGF-beta 1 expression was positive in the endothelia on both the paraffin slide and the single layer slide. The results showed that by direct injection into the anterior chamber, foreign plasmid DNA could be transferred into the endothelia and its expression was obtained. This may provide a foundation for further study on TGF-beta 1 participating in local induction of corneal immune tolerance.

Objective To study the incidence of PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression in astrocytoma and show the relationship between PTEN, p53 expression and the proliferation activity. Methods The surgical specimens from 68 brain astrocytoma patients were analysed to detect PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression with immunohistochemical method. Results The incidence of PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression was 54.4 %,45.6 % and 48.5 % respectively in astrocytoma. With the grade of astrocytoma increasing the levels of PTEN protein decreased, on the other hand the levels of p53, Ki-67 increased. There was a negative correlation between PTEN expression and grade of astrocytoma while there was a positive correlation between p53, Ki-67 expression and grade of astrocytoma by using the Spearman Correlation test to analyse the data. The incidence of Ki-67 positive expression was 24.3 % in 37 cases exhibiting PTEN positive staining, whereas the incidence of Ki-67 positive expression was 77.4 % in 31 cases exhibiting PTEN negative staining. In statistics, there was an inverse correlation between PTEN and Ki-67 expression. Conclusion There is an inverse correlation between histopathological grades of astrocytoma and PTEN expression. A positive correlation is found between p53, Ki-67 expression and histopathological grades of astrocytoma. PTEN can inhibit tumor cell proliferation in astrocytoma.
