Objective To investigate the effect and specificity of adenovirus containing r-caspase-3 gene on apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Methods The vector α-fetoprotein enhancer-albumin promotor (pAdTrack-EAFP-PALB) was constructed and the r-caspase-3 gene was subcloned into the vector. The linearized shuttle plasmid was homogenously recombined with AdEasy-1 in BJ5183 cells. The candidate clone was analyzed by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequencing, and then pAdeasy-EAFP-PALB/r-caspase-3 vector was digested with Pac Ⅰ and transfected into AD293 cells for packaging and amplifying.Infection titer and rate of recombinant virus was monitored by green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression.The expression of r-caspase-3 was detected by RT-PCR and Western-blot. The apoptosis of HepG2, 7721, L-02 and MDA- MB- 231 cells was detected by FCM method. Results The sequence of shuttle vector pAdTrack-EAFP-PALB/r-caspase-3 was correct after digestion by restriction endonuclease. Vector pAdeasy-EAFP-PALB/r-caspase-3 was identificated by Pac Ⅰ restriction digestion and PCR. The expression of GFP was observed in the transfected AD293 cells. The expression of r-caspase-3 gene was detected in the infected HepG2 cells by RT-PCR and Western-blot. The cells were infected with recombinant r-caspase-3 after 24 hours, and their apoptotic index were as follows: HepG cells, 48.2%; 7721 cells, 17.7%; L-02 cells, 7.3%;M DA- MB- 231 cells, 0%. Conclusion The recombinant of hepatocellular carcinoma - targeting adenovirus containing r- caspase- 3 gene is constructed successfully and can induce the targeted apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells, which provides the evidences for future research in hepatocellular carcinoma.     

RGD-FasL induces apoptosis of pituitary adenoma cells

This study was to investigate the cytotoxic effects on pituitary adenoma cell lines GH3/MMQ/AtT20 induced by RGD-FasL and the underlying mechanism. Fas/DcR3 mRNAs were detected by RT-PCR and their surface expressions were measured by flow cytometry. Cytotoxicity exerted by RGD-FasL on tumor cells was measured with MTT assay and the induced apoptosis was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. The cell cycle and apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry with PI staining. The expressions of caspase8/9/3, Bcl-2, RANKL and JNK2 were detected by Western blotting. Approximately 13.7% of GH3 cells, 25.5% of MMQ cells, 22.2% of AtT20 cells express Fas, while 23.9% of GH3 cells, 24.1% of MMQ cells, 4.6% of AtT20 cells express DcR3. The cytotoxic effects of FasL/RGD-FasL on tumor cells were all taken in a dose-dependent manner. Cell lines MMQ/AtT20 showed the same sensitivity to RGD-FasL as to FasL, while cell line GH3 was less sensitive to RGD-FasL. The cell cycle analysis indicated that RGD-FasL could inhibit cells in G0/G1 phase and G2/M phase. In MMQ and AtT20 cells treated with RGD-FasL, the AI was not significantly different from that treated with FasL, while in GH3 cells treated with RGD-FasL, the AI was lower than that treated with FasL. The expressions of caspase-8/9/3, RANKL and JNK2 were increased while that of Bcl-2 was decreased after treatment with RGD-FasL, suggesting that RGD-FasL induces apoptosis through caspase activation. We concluded that RGD-FasL could possibly be considered as a novel therapeutical candidate for the treatment of pituitary adenomas. Cellular ＆ Molecular Immunology.     

铜绿假单胞菌密度感应系统自体诱导因子3OC12-HSL对人肠道上皮细胞Caco-2凋亡的影响及其机制

Objective To investigate the effect of quorum sensing autoinducer 3OC12-HSL of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the apoptosis of Caco-2 cells and its mechanism. Methods Caco-2 cells were incubated with 3OC12-HSL for 4 h and then examined by MTT method for cytoactivities. Flow cytometry was used to analyze apoptosis rate of Caco-2 cells. Expression of apoptosis associated proteins p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB were detected by Western blot. Results After exposure to 3OC12-HSL for 4 h, cytoactivities of Caco-2 cells was reduced(P<0.05) with dose-dependent pattern, and higher dose of 3OC12-HSL leaded to increasing apoptosis rate of Caco-2 cells(P<0.05). 3OC12-HSL raised expression of apoptosis associated proteins p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB detected by Western blot. Conclusion Quorum sensing autoinducer 3OC12-HSL can effect cytoactivities of Caco-2 cells and may induce its apoptosis by enhancing the expression of p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB protein.

CD59 Silencing via Retrovirus-Mediated RNA Interference Enhanced Complement-Mediated Cell Damage in Ovary Cancer

CD59, belonging to membrane complement regulatory proteins （mCRPs）, inhibits the cytolytic activity of complement and is over-expressed in solid cancers, including ovary cancer. The aim of the present study was to construct recombinant retrovirus encoding shRNA targeted human CD59 and infect A2780 cells in order to investigate the relationship between decreased CD59 expression and tumorigenesis of ovary cancer, siCD59 and siCD59-C were successfully constructed and identified by PCR, restriction endonuclease analyses and DNA sequencing, respectively. The siCD59 was able to efficiently infect A2780 cells, which was confirmed by Western blotting. When incubated with fresh normal human serum （8%, v/v） for 1 h at 37℃, the cell viability was decreased and cell damage was increased in siCD59 infected A2780 cells compared to siCD59-C infected cells. This led to the activation of caspase-3. The apoptosis in siCD59 infected cells was shown with hypercondensed nuclei using Hoechst staining. Meanwhile, the weight of ovary tumor graft in nude mice was significantly decreased in siCD59 group compared to that of siCD59-C group. And the expression of CD59 protein in tumor tissue in siCD59 group was significantly decreased. These results suggested that CD59 silencing in ovary cancer cells v/a retrovirusmediated RNAi can enhance complement-mediated cell damage, inhibiting growth of ovary cancer. CD59 might be a potential target for gene therapy in ovary cancer. Cellular ＆ Molecular Immunology.     

Recombinant adenovirus vector-mediated human MDA-7 gene transfection suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma growth in a mouse xenograft model

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common tumors in the world.The purpose of the present study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of adenoviral transduction of human melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7(MDA-7)gene on hepatocellular carcinoma,so as to provide a theoretical basis for gene therapy of the disease.The human MDA-7 gene was cloned into replication-defective adenovirus specific to HepG2 cells using recombinant virus technology.RT-PCR and Western blotting assays were used to determine the expression of human MDA-7 mRNA and MDA-7 protein in HepG2 cells in vitro.Induction of apoptosis by overexpression of the human MDA-7 gene was determined by flow cytometry.In-vivo efficacy of adenoviral delivery of the human MDA-7 gene was assessed in nude mice bearing HepG2 cell lines in vivo by determining inhibition of tumor growth,VEGF and CD34 expression,and microvascular density(MVD).The results showed that AdGFP/MDA-7 induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells in vitro and significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo(P < 0.05).The intra-tumoral MVD decreased significantly in the treated tumors(P < 0.05).We conclude the recombination adenovirus AdGFP/MDA-7 can effectively express biologically active human MDA-7,which leads to inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma growth.     

Increased serum IL-10 in lupus patients promotes apoptosis of T cell subsets via the caspase 8 pathway initiated by Fas signaling

We sought to investigate the expression of Fas and FasL on T cell surface and caspase 8 involvement in T cell apoptosis promoted by serum IL-10 in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) patients.Cells and sera were obtained from 35 SLE patients.Apoptosis of T cells in patients with SLE was increased and associated with the SLE disease activity index(SLEDAI).Elevated expression of Fas and FasL on T cell surface contributed to increased apoptosis of T cells.Increased IL-10 in the sera of SLE patients was capable of inducing Fas and FasL expression on CD4~+T cell surface,promoting apoptosis of this cell subset.Decreased IL-10 serum levels and low expression of Fas were found in 5 patients of the first follow-up group after 2-month treatment.In another group with one-year treatment,the SLEDAI declined to inactive scores.Serum IL-10 was decreased significantly,and expression of Fas and FasL on T cells was also reduced.Declined apoptosis was predominant only in CD4~+T cell subset.When sera with high level of IL-10 were used to culture PBMCs from healthy controls,activated caspase 8 was elevated in CD3~+T,CD4~+T and CD8~+T cells.The study showed that serum IL-10 induced apoptosis of T cell subsets via the caspase8 pathway initiated by Fas signaling.Increased apoptosis of T cells contributes to autoantigen burden,which is pathogenic in the development of SLE.     

Correlation between expression of DcR3 on tumor cells and sensitivity to FasL

To investigate the correlation between sensitivity to Fas ligand （FasL） and expression level of decoy receptor 3 （DcR3） on tumor cell surface, Fas/DcR3 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR. Anti-DcR3 mAb was used to detect expression level of DcR3 on surface of tumor cells by flow cytometry. Caspase-8, caspase-9, caspase-3, Bcl-2 expressions were analyzed by Western blot, respectively. Sensitivity to apoptosis induced by FasL was determined by Annexin V apoptosis kit. The expressions of DcR3 on the surface of tumor cells from high to low were approximately 35.3% in BGC823 cells, and 21.6% in MCF-7 cells, respectively. The apoptotic rates induced by FasL from low to high were 15.6% in BGC823 cells, and 58.2% in MCF-7 cells, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the expression levels of DcR3 with FasL-inducing apoptosis. Cellular ＆ Molecular Immunology.     

细胞因子诱导杀伤细胞分泌因子影响人肝癌干细胞的凋亡

BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy with autologous immune cells has been developed as a major adjuvant therapy for malignant tumors, but its mechanism of action has not been elucidated. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between cytokine-induced killer cell secretion and apoptosis in human liver cancer stem cells. METHODS: Human liver cancer stem cells, HepG2 cells, were isolated and enriched using serum-free suspension method. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with liver cancer were induced by γ-interferon, CD3 monoclonal antibody and recombinant human interleukin-2 to form killer cells. Passage 1 liver cancer stem cells were divided into control group (culture alone) and experimental group (co-culture of cytokines-induced killer cells and human liver cancer stem cells). At 48 hours after culture, apoptosis in human liver cancer stem cells was detected using flow cytometry, and expression of caspase-3 mRNA and protein was detected using RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The apoptotic rate in the control group was significantly lower than that in the experimental group (P < 0.05). The expressions of caspase-3 at mRNA and protein levels were both higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). Experimental findings show that cytokines-induced killer cells can significantly promote apoptosis in human liver cancer stem cells, and up-regulate the caspase-3 mRNA and protein expressions dramatically.  中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：干细胞;骨髓干细胞;造血干细胞;脂肪干细胞;肿瘤干细胞;胚胎干细胞;脐带脐血干细胞;干细胞诱导;干细胞分化;组织工程      

幽门螺杆菌对SGC-7901细胞增殖凋亡及p27kipl表达的影响

Objective To explore the influence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) on the proliferation, apoptosis and expression of p27kipl protein of gastric epithelial cells in vitro. Methods SC, C-7901 cell pro-liferation was examined by flow cytometry after incubation with different concentration of NCTC11637. The effect of NCTC11637 on cell apoptosis was also evaluated by flow cytometryo And the expression of p27kipl of gastric epithelial cells was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and in situ hybridization, respectively. Results Cell proliferation was enhanced when co-incubated with the Hp in low concentration (3.4 x 104 to 1.9 x 105 CFU/ml) but inhibited in higher concentration (≥4.8×106CFU/ml). However, cell apoptosis was increase when co-incubated with the Hp in high concentration (≥9.6 ×105 CFU/ml) showing concen-tration dependent picture. In addition, the co-incubation of SGC-7901 with Hp led to decrease of the expres-sion of p27kipl protein but not mRNA in a Hp concentration dependent way. Conclusion Hp could effect the gastric epithelial cells apoptosis and proliferation directly and influence the expression of p27kips protein which might facilitate gastric carcinoma.
