Objective To investigate the value of human papillomavirus(HPV)DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection in screening for cervical lesions.Methods A total of 619 patients who were screened for cer-vical lesions in West China Second University Hospital from September 2021 to August 2022 were selected as the study objects.The value of HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection in cervical lesion screening was evaluated based on their pathological results.Results The positive rate of HPV DNA detection was 64.78%(401/619)and that of HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection was 60.74%(376/619)in 619 patients.Cervical lesion screening was mainly conducted in sexually active people aged 30-<40 years and 40-<50 years.The posi-tive rates of HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA increased with the increase of cervical lesion grade.The sen-sitivity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the two methods were higher than those of HPV DNA or HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection.Conclusion The combined detection of the two methods can be used for screening cervical lesions at various pathological stages,which can provide greater guidance value in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effects of ALEX1 overexpression on cell proliferation and apoptosis of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods: MCF-7 cells were infected recombinant lentivirus LV5-ALEX1 and the negative control lentivirus LV5-NC,respectively.After 72 h, the expression of ALEX1 was detected by Real-Time PCR and Western blot.CCK8 assay were performed to observe the proliferation ability after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h.The effect of overexpression ALEX1 on apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry.The level of Bax,BCL-2 and active caspase3 was detected by Western blot.Results:The mRNA level of ALEX1 markedly increased after 72 h(165.81±12.14 vs 52.29±2.32,P<0.01).In CCK8 assay,the results revealed that the cell pro-liferation was inhibited compared with control group in 48 h,72 h,96 h( P<0.05).The results revealed that overexpression of ALEX1 enhanced MCF-7 apoptosis(20.55%±2.50 % vs 3.60%±1.614%,P<0.05).The results by Western blot showed that the protein levels of Bax and active caspase were increased in LV5-ALEX1 group compared with LV5-NC group.However,the protein levels of BCL-2 was decreased in LV5-ALEX1 group compared with LV5-NC group.Conclusion:Overexpression of ALEX1 significantly reduced MCF-7 cancer cells proliferation and induced MCF-7 cells apoptosis.

Aim To investigate ALEX1 gene expres-sion in cervical cancer tissues and adjacent non-can-cerous tissues, and to explore the ALEX1 genetic influ-ence on cell proliferation,cycle and apoptosis of human cervical cancer cell line HeLa. Methods ALEX1 protein expression in cervical cancers and in non-can-cerous cervical tissues was evaluated using immunohis-tochemical method. A small interference RNA targeting ALEX1 gene was transfected into HeLa cells′, and the effect of ALEX1 interference on HeLa cells′ cycle and apoptosis was analysed by flow cytometry. The effect of ALEX1 interference on HeLa cells′ proliferation and sensitivity to resveratrol was analysed by CCK-8 assay. Results ALEX1 protein expression was significantly increased in cervical cancer tissues compared with non-cancerous tissues. HeLa cells′proliferation was inhibi-ted compared with control group and blank group. He-La cells′ sensitivity to resveratrol was enhanced com-pared with control group blank group. Conclution SiRNA silencing of ALEX1 gene could significantly in-hibit HeLa cells′ proliferation and enhance resveratrol ability of inhibiting HeLa cells′proliferation.
