Objective To invesgate hepatitis B c antigen(HBeAg)as the carrier to construct mixed hepatitis C virus(HCV)therapeutic vaccine.Methods Fused the pTrc-core gene with two synthetic T-epitope antigen gene of HCV,expressed the plasmids pTrc-core-T1 and pTrc-core-T2, applied sucrose density gradient centrifugation to get the fusion protein HBcAg-T1 and HBcAg-T2, dialysised and concentrated the protein,mixed and immunized them in mice using the protein HBcAg (expressed by pTrc-core)as control.The tumor regression trial in mice was evaluated at appropriate time.After immunized four times,got the blood and spleen of mice.Interleukin(IL)-12 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),nonspecific T lymphocytes prolifera- tion response of splenic lymphocytes was respectively examined by thiazolyl blue(MTT)assay.T cell subset of splenic lymphoeytes,IL-5 in serum,IL-4 and interferon(IFN)-?in lymphocyte were evalu- ated by FACS.Results Tumor regression trial showed the experimental group formed only one tumor(diameter=0.1 cm),smaller than the T_1T_2 peptides group(diameter=0.9 cm)and blank group(diameter=1.3 cm).FACS indicated that CD8~+ T cell percentage of spleen cells from HBcAg- T_1T_2 group(20.21?2.01)% was higher than T_1T_2 peptides group(15.33?1.45)% and blank group(5.09?1.66)%,the percentage of IFN-?positive cells in these three groups were(1.58?0.05)%,(0.88?0.02)% and(0.53?0.03)%.The ELISA discovered that the level of IL-12 in the experimental group was the highest.Different from above,the IL-4 and IL-5 were lower in the exper- imental group.The detection of eytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL)activity showed that the quantity of Hela cells infected by HCV in HBcAg-T1T2 stimulated group was different obviously from T1T2 peptides group. Conclusion The mixed protein HBcAg-T1 and HBcAg-T2 can induce stronger cellular immunity and it is able to serve as a therapeutic vaccines candidate specific for HCV.

This study examined the effect of small interfering RNA-mediated β-catenin knockdown on the survival, invasion and chemosensitivity of human osteosarcoma cells (U2-OS cells). The siRNA against β-catenin was constructed and transfected into U2-OS cells. The expression of β-catenin was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell growth and apoptosis was detected in the presence or absence of doxorubicin by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. Cell invasion ability was measured by transwell assay. The results showed that the transfection of β-catenin siRNA resulted in decreased expression of β-catenin, suppression of invasion and motility of U2-OS cells, reduced chemosensitivity to doxorubicin in vitro, and little change in cell growth and apoptosis. Additionally, down-regulated MT1-MMP expression was found after transfection. It was concluded that knockdown of β-catenin gene may decrease the invasive ability of human osteosarcoma cells through down-regulated MT1-MMP expression, and the chemosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells against doxorubicin.

Objective To study the effect of intra-pulmonary arterial anti-tumor necrosis factor-α antibody(TNF-α Ab) on ultra-structure of lung after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into four groups:group Ⅰ-Ⅲ underwent CPB; group Ⅳ only received open chest operation.In the group Ⅱ,rabbit TNF-α Ab(27 ng/kg) was dropped into the pulmonary artery when the aorta was clamped and CPB continued 30 minute.Pulmonary arterial perfusion was given to the group I instead.Blood TNF-α and neutrophils count from right and left atrium and oxygenation index in the four groups were determined perioperatively.Lung water content,TNF-αmessenger RNA,Bcl-2 protein,Bax protein,Bcl-2/Bax,apoptosis index and pathomorphological change were measured in the lung tissues.Results TNF-α Ab can restrain leukocyte accumulation and reduce releasing of TNF-α in the lung and improve oxygenation index.Moreover,TNF-α Ab can reduce the expression of Bax on alveolar epithelial cells and alleviate the decreasing of the expression of Bcl-2.It can also reduce the occurrence of apoptosis and attenuate pathomorphological changes in the lung tissue.Conclusion Intra-pulmonary arterial antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody markedly lessens the injury of inflammatory reaction and ultra-structure of lung after CPB via Bcl-2/Bax pathway.

Objective To study the effects of cripto on migration, invasion, and liver metastasis of colorectal cancer cell. Methods After human colorectal cancer cell line SW480 was transfected by cripto small interfering RNA (siRNA), the mRNA and protein level were determined by Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The migration and invasion ability were evaluated by wound-healing assay and boyden chamber model, respectively. Thirty nude mice model of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer was established by splenectomy. Results The siRNA could down-regulate the level of mRNA and protein of cripto in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Suppression of cripto expression could inhibit migration and invasion ability of human colorectal cancer cell in vitro. The metastastic rate and tumor nodules were lower in transfection with cripto siRNA than in two control groups in vivo. Conclusions Cripto gene might play an important role in regulation of liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma cell, and suppression of cripto gene by siRNA can inhibit liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.
