目的：研究人ＴＭＪ滑膜细胞（ＳＭＣ）蛋白质合成能力，与其它组织细胞的差异，及细胞因子对这方面的影响。方法：采用体外培养的ＳＭＣ、ＴＧＣ、ＮＭＣ３种细胞及无血清培养液，应用紫外分光光度仪在２８０ｎｍ波长处，对培养上清中的蛋白含量进行测定，并与加用ＩＬ－１、ＩＬ－６、ＴＮＦ后蛋白质合成的量进行对比观察。结果：正常状态下，ＴＧＣ蛋白合成量最高，ＯＤ值达０．１４，而ＳＭＣ最低，为０．０７９。在加用细胞因子作用４８ｈ后，ＳＭＣ蛋白含量达到０．１１７，提高３０％，而ＴＧＣ、ＮＭＣ却下降１０％～３０％。结论：正常状态下ＳＭＣ合成蛋白质成份较其它细胞少，而细胞因子可刺激ＳＭＣ蛋白质合成增加，这些蛋白成份中可能具有影响关节炎症的物质。     

IFN-γ enhances the anti-tumour immune response of dendritic cells against oral squamous cell carcinoma

Objective

To investigate the expression of antigen processing-1 (Tap-1) and Tapasin in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and observe the immune response against OSCC by use of IFN-γ-antigen induced dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro and in vivo.

Design

Expression of Tap-1 and Tapasin in different cell lines was analysed. CAL27 cells were treated with IFN-γ. Antigen from the treated cells was presented by DCs. Pulsed DC was then co-cultivated with CD8+ T lymphocyte to induce antigen specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs). The immune response elicited by CTLs against OSCC was observed.

Results

A significant lower expression of Tap-1 and Tapasin was observed in OSCC cell lines. IFN-γ exerted time-dependent effect for increasing the expression of these genes. Antigen from the treated CAL27 cells was presented by DCs. CTLs were induced and generated a strong immune response in vitro and in vivo.

Conclusions

Tap-1 and Tapasin were downregulated in OSCC. IFN-γ increased the expression of these genes. Use of IFN-γ-antigen induced DCs could induce stronger immune response in vitro and in vivo.     

Changes in pituitary and prolactin cells of Wistar rats after two dental fillings with bisphenolic resins

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is used to manufacture dental materials such as sealants, fillings and cements. There is evidence of its estrogenic effects on recipients after the placement of dental sealants. Pituitary and especially prolactin (PRL) cells are targets for estrogens.

Objectives

The aim of this research was to determine if BPA eluted from dental resins can alter the proliferation of pituitary cells and PRL cells in the short, medium and long term in a case-control assay.

Methods

Two dental fillings were inserted in the lower incisors of Wistar rats divided into groups sacrificed after one, three, five and seven months. Immunocytochemical treatment was carried out in order to determine proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) positive cells, PRL-positive cells, PRL- and PCNA-positive cells.

Results

A significant increase of PCNA-positive cells after one (p < 0.05), three (p < 0.01) and five months (p < 0.01) was recorded. PRL-positive cells showed no statistically significant difference between intervened animals and controls. PRL- and PCNA-positive cells manifested a significant increase after five months (p < 0.05). A significant decrease in proliferating cells was observed after seven months (p < 0.05) for PCNA-positive cells and (p < 0.01) for PRL- and PCNA-positive cells.

Conclusion

Low quantities of BPA eluted during mastication can affect immunocytochemical patterns of pituitary cells, increasing cellular proliferation in the short, medium and long term although PRL cell population remained unaffected after dental fillings.     

Effect of using RNA interference to alter iNOS gene expression on the proliferation of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line Tca8113

This study used RNA interference (RNAi) to explore the effect of NO and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) on apoptosis and proliferation in the tongue squamous carcinoma cell line Tca8113. Tca8113 cells were transfected with the plasmid pGenesil-1, which expresses iNOS short hairpin RNA (shRNA), or the negative control plasmid pSilencer-HK, and the transfected cells were compared with untransfected cells. The expression of iNOS was detected by histochemistry, and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of iNOS was significantly lower in the pSilencer-iNOS group than in the pSilencer-HK and empty control groups. The apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the pSilencer-iNOS group than in the pSilencer-HK and empty control groups. Growth monitoring showed that proliferation was also inhibited in cells transfected with pSilencer-iNOS. RNAi gene silencing decreased iNOS gene expression, induced apoptosis, and suppressed proliferation in Tca8113 cells.

牙周病患牙根面的细胞附着和细胞扩展

目的：研究人牙周膜成纤维细胞(PDL)对牙周病患牙和健康牙牙根面的早期附着和扩展，以及脂多糖(LPS)对其的可能作用。方法：收集和制备22例牙周病患牙牙根组织切片，20例健康牙牙根组织切片。PDL取自健康的牙周膜。将培养的PDL接种于牙根组织切片，孵育lh37℃，作细胞计数，检测细胞的早期附着；接种培养的PDL于牙根组织切片，孵育48h37℃检测细胞扩展。用血细胞计数器计数扩展细胞。用涂布LPS的组织培养孔试验LPS对细胞附着、细胞扩展的影响。结果：人牙周膜成纤维细胞在牙周病患牙和健康牙牙根表面的早期附着没有差异，而两者间细胞的扩展有显著差异，健康牙高于患牙。患牙根面的LPS可能是抑制根面细胞扩展的因素之一。结论：牙周病患牙和健康牙的根面均可发生PDL的早期附着，但随着时间的推移，患牙根面的细胞不能发生扩展。
