Current treatment strategies for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcino-ma(HNSCC)include palliative chemotherapy and anti-EGFR targeted agents.Angiogenesis is crucial both for the growth of a primary tumor and the development of distant metastasis.Therefore,the angiogenesis factors and their receptors become the targets of therapeutic agents.Current anti-angiogenesis drugs achieve the purpose of treatment mainly by blocking VEGF-VEGFR pathways.And it gets certain effects in clinical trials for the treat-ment of HNSCC.Anti-angiogenesis therapy will provide more choices for treating HNSCC.

ABSTRACT:Objective To explore the effects of virus interleukin‐10 (vIL‐10 ) on different expressions of MHC‐I antigen processing “the operon” .Methods We collected nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (CNE‐1 and CNE‐2) treated by vIL‐10 at different time points ,and detected the changes of MHC‐I antigen processing “the operons” (TAP‐1 ,TAP‐2 ,LMP‐2 ,LMP‐7 and HLA‐I) by RT‐PCR and Western blot .Results ① mRNA level :There was no difference in the expression of TAP‐1 in CNE‐1 and CNE‐2 cells at various time points .The expressions of TAP‐2 and LMP‐2 in CNE‐1 and CNE‐2 did not change at 1 ,4 ,6 ,12 h ,but downregulated and even disappeared at 24 h .The expression of LMP‐7 in CNE‐1 decreased 4 h after vIL‐10 was added ,and that in CNE‐2 decreased at 6 h .The expression of HLA‐I in CNE‐1 and CNE‐2 showed significant decrease at 24 h .② Protein expression :The expression of TAP‐1 in CNE‐1 and CNE‐2 showed significant decrease at 24 h .The expression of TAP‐2 in CNE‐1 and CNE‐2 was gradually downregulated at different time points .The expressions of LMP‐2 and LMP‐7 in CNE‐2 were gradually downregulated at different periods ,while that in CNE‐1 was only decreased at 12 h .The expression of HLA‐I in CNE‐1 and CNE‐2 was gradually downregulated ,but there was no significant difference at each period in CNE‐1 ,while the expression of HLA‐I in CNE‐2 at 24 h was significantly downregulated .Conclusion vIL‐10 can inhibit the expression of MHC‐I antigen processing “the operon” in NPC in the time‐dependent manner .
