Objective To construct an siRNA expression plasmid against tumor susceptibility gene 101(tsg101) and investigate its effect of RNA interference on oxaliplatin(L-OHP)-resistant human colon cancer cell line HT29/L-OHP.Methods The targeting fragments specifically against tsg101 were designed according to the principle of small interfering RNA designation using an online software.The sequences were cloned into siRNA expression plasmids,and the plasmids were transfected into HT29/L-OHP cells.The expression of tsg101 mRNA after the transfection of TSG101-siRNA plasmid was detected by RT-PCR.The expression of TSG101 after TSG101-siRNA transfection was detected by Western blotting.MTT test was applied to measure the inhibition combined with L-OHP on the proliferation of HT29/L-OHP cells.Distribution of cell cycle was analyzed using flow cytometry after RNA interference to HT29/L-OHP cells.Results The expected fragments were designed,and the TSG101-siRNA plasmid was confirmed by DNA sequencing.The TSG101-siRNA plasmid inhibited the expression of tsg101 mRNA,and the expression of TSG101 protein,and suppressed the proliferation of HT29/L-OHP cells obviously when combined with oxaliplatin.The analysis of cell cycle indicated that the TSG101-siRNA plasmid reduced the cells in G2/M phases and increased the cells in G0/G1 and S phases.Conclusion The expression vector of TSG101-siRNA combined with oxaliplatin inhibits the proliferation of HT29/L-OHP cells and increases the sensitivity to chemotherapy.

Objective To observe the effects of oxaliplatin on proliferation in human colon carcinoma cell lines HT29 in vitro and investigate the mechanism. Methods The inhibition of proliferation in HT29 cell was estimated by MTT test. Morphologic changes were observed under electron microscope. Distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis was analyzed by using flow cytometry. The expression of cell cycle protein and apoptosis-associated gene protein was detected with immunohistochemical technique. Results Oxaliplatin could inhibit the proliferation of HT29 cells and the inhibition depended on the exposure dose and time. When treated with oxaliplatin for 72 h, apoptotic cells and apoptotic body could be found under the transmission electronic microscope. The analysis of cell cycle indicated that oxaliplatin blocked cells at G2/M phases and cells of G0/G1 and S phase reduced. The expression of Fas and Bax was up-regulated; Bcl-2, CyclinB1, and PCNA down-regulated. Conclusion Oxaliplatin could inhibit proliferation of the colon carcinoma cell lines HT29. The mechanism of inhibited proliferation is related to the induced apoptosis and the blocked cells.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of transforming growth factor-?1(TFG-?1) and its correlation with the cellular proliferation activity in human gastric carcinoma (GC). Methods The expression of TGF-?1 and Ki-67 in 50 GC tissues and 10 normal gastric mucosal tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the normal gastric mucosal tissues, the expression of TGF-?1 and Ki-67 in GC was significantly higher. TGF-?1 expression was associated with histological differentiation,lymphatic metastasis and invasion depth of GC. And Ki-67 expression was related with lymphatic metastasis and invasion depth of GC too. Furthermore, a significant correlation between TGF-?1 and Ki-67 expressions in GC was found as well. Conclusion Gastric carcinomas with expression of TGF-?1 had high cellular proliferation activity. TGF-?1 could not inhibit cellular proliferation in GC. TGF-?1 stimulated GC cells invasion and metastasis. The overexpression of TGF-?1 and Ki-67 can serve as a reference marker to evaluate GC biological behavior.
