Experimental study on the immunosuppressive effects of gui zhi tang

In this paper the immunosuppressive effects of Gui Zhi Tang (a famous Chinese medicine) on the murine immune functions are reported. Varying dosages of Gui Zhi Tang administrated orally, i.p. and i.m. were able to inhibit the amounts of PFC, SRFC and the DTH response induced by BSA and the proliferation response of murine spleen cells to Con A and LPS. Further studies showed that Gui Zhi Tang had the inhibitory effect on Interleukin-2 production of murine spleen cells, which might be one of the mechanisms leading to the immunosuppressive effects of Gui Zhi Tang.     

PFT-α对结肠上皮细胞凋亡和周期的影响及机制探讨

目的探讨p53抑制剂（p-fifty three inhibitor—alpha，PFT-α）对结肠上皮细胞凋亡、周期的影响及机制。研究PFT-α对热化疗损伤结肠上皮细胞的影响。方法顺铂联合温热处理原代培养结肠七皮细胞30min，对比加入不同浓度PFT-α后，Annexin V—FITC／PI染色，流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡。PI染色检测细胞周期。Western blot检测结肠上皮细胞Cyclin B1和Cdc2（Tyr15）表达。结果不同浓度PFT-α作用于热化疗处理的结肠上皮细胞后，细胞凋亡率下降且呈剂量依赖性。流式细胞仪细胞周期分析显示在运用PFT-α后，结肠上皮细胞的G2／M延长，CyclinB1和Cde2（Tyr15）蛋白表达随PFT—α的剂量升高而逐渐增强。结论PFT-α可能通过促进CyclinB1蛋白表达，Cde2（Tyr15）磷酸化水平升高，降低CyclinB1／Cde2活性，细胞停滞于G2／M期，减轻热化疗对结肠上皮细胞的损伤。     

癌胚抗原DNA疫苗对大肠癌特异性细胞免疫的激活效果

目的检测以质粒pIRES为载体构建的带有全序列癌胚抗原(CEA)基因的核苷酸疫苗对机体特异性抗肿瘤免疫反应的激活效果。方法将CEA基因片段连接于真核表达质粒pIRES中,用肌肉注射方法接种核酸疫苗;检测CEA在小鼠肌肉组织中的表达情况及其对小鼠脾细胞CEA特异性细胞免疫反应的激活效果。结果小鼠经肌肉注射质粒后,免疫组化证实该核酸疫苗可在体内有效表达CEA;分子免疫检测显示注射后小鼠特异性淋巴细胞增值反应明显并且伴有自然杀伤细胞NK活性显著增高。结论实验所构建的核酸疫苗pIRESCEA可在体外及小鼠体内高效表达并表现出良好的细胞免疫原性。
