人肝癌细胞株VEGF/VEGFR的检测及意义探讨

目的：筛选血管内皮生长因子（vascular endothelial growth factor，VEGF）高表达肝癌细胞株，为进一步研究VEGF在肝癌治疗中的作用提供理论依据。并探讨VEGF受体在肝癌细胞株的表达及意义。方法：ELISA法及Western blot法分别检测人肝癌细胞株培养上清及细胞内VEGF蛋白的表达。免疫细胞化学方法检测VEGFR在人肝癌细胞中的表达。结果：5株肝癌细胞株均见VEGF蛋白表达，其中SMMC-7721的VEGF表达量最高，VEGF特异性受体Fit-1在HepG2、HHCC、SMMC-7721、Bcl-7402见阳性表达，KDR在HepG2、HHCC、Bel-7402、QGY-7701见阳性表达。结论：肝癌细胞株中VEGF表达量不尽一致，VEGF在肝癌发生发展中可能存在自分泌作用方式。

Determination of malondialdehyde-induced DNA damage in human tissues using an immunoslot blot assay

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a product of lipid peroxidation and prostaglandin biosynthesis. It is mutagenic and carcinogenic and the major adduct formed by reaction with DNA, a highly fluorescent pyrimidopurinone (M1-dG), has been detected in healthy human liver and leukocyte DNA. Analytical methods used so far for the detection of M1- dG have not been applied to a large number of individuals or variety of samples. Often, only a few microg of DNA from human tissues are available for analysis and a very sensitive assay is needed in order to detect background levels of M1-dG in very small amounts of DNA. In this paper, the development of an immunoslot blot (ISB) assay for the measurement of MI-dG in 1 microg of DNA is described. The limit of detection of the assay is 2.5 adducts per 10(8) bases. A series of human samples were analysed and levels of 5.6-9.5 (n = 8) and 3.1-64.3 (n = 42) of M1-dG per 10(8) normal bases were detected in white blood cell and gastric biopsy DNA, respectively. Results on four human samples were compared with those obtained using an HPLC/32P-post- labelling (HPLC/PPL) method previously developed and indicated a high correlation between M1-dG levels measured by the two assays. The advantages of ISB over other assays including HPLC/PPL, such as the possibility of analysing 1 microg DNA/sample and the fact that it is less time-consuming and laborious, means that it can be more easily used for routine analysis of a large number of samples in biomonitoring studies.
