The present study was conducted to investigate the potential effect of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-mediated IL-24 gene therapy on tumor recurrence and metastasis by inducing tumor cell apoptosis in a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) model in nude mice. METHODS: We established a recurrent and metastatic HCC model in nude mice and constructed an rAAV vector carrying alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) promoter for expressing the IL-24 gene (rAVV/AFP/IL-24). The vector was administered by regional injection (liver incisal margin). AFP was detected by radiation immunoassay. Histological evaluation of tumor recurrence and metastasis was performed for the liver and lung. The effect of tumor cell apoptosis was confirmed by TUNEL analysis. RESULTS: IL-24 gene therapy prevented tumor recurrence and metastasis, as evidenced by marked decreases in the number of metastatic tumor nodules and tumor volume in the liver and lung. At the same time, serum AFP concentration decreased markedly in the IL-24 group compared with the control or rAAV groups (P<0.05). IL-24 gene therapy inhibited tumor recurrence and metastasis as evidenced by the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated that targeted IL-24 gene therapy was effective in the prevention of postoperative recurrence and metastasis in an HCC nude mice model by induction of tumor cells apoptosis with potential minimum tumor burden.展开更多

METHODS： We constructed the recombinant replication-incornpetent Ad.rnda-7 virus vector and infected it into the human HCC cell line HepG2 and normal liver cell line L02. RT-PCR was performed to detect the rnRNA expressing in cells, by ELISA was used to detect MDA-7/IL-24 protein expression in the culture supernatant. The effect of apoptosis induced by Ad.rnda-7 was confirmed by Hoechst staining and flow cytometry assay with Annexin-V and PI staining. MTT assay was used to determine growth inhibition of HepG2 cells, and cell-cycle and hypodiploidy analyses were performed by flow cytometry. RESULTS： Recombinant replication-defective virus expressing MDA-7/IL-24 was constructed successfully. RTPCR showed that the Ad.rnda-7 could mediate the expression of the exogenous gene MDA-7/IL-24 into HepG2 and L02. The concentration of MDA-7/IL-24 protein in supernatant was 130 pg/mL and 110 pg/mL in Ad.rnda-7-infected L02 and HepG2 ceils, respectively. Ad.mda-7 infection obviously induced apoptosis （from 2.604±0.72% to 33.64±13.2%, P=0.00012） and growth suppression in HepG2 （inhibition ratio IR=68%） and an increase in the percentage of specific cancer cell types at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle （from 6.44% to 32.29%, P〈 0.01）, but not in L02 cells.CONCLUSION： These results confirm selectively induction of apoptosis and growth suppression by the mda-7/ IL-24 gene with replication-incompetent adenovirus vector in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2.展开更多

Three tag SNPs in the IL-4 gene(rs2227284G/T, rs2243283C/G and rs2243288A/G) were genotyped by the Multiplex snapshot technique. The genotype and allele frequencies were calculated and analyzed.Results The three SNPs showed no significant genotype/allele associations with chronic HBV infection. Overall allele P values were: rs2227284, P = 0.655, odds ratio(OR) [95% confidence interval(CI)] = 1.070(0.793-1.445); rs2243283, P = 0.849, OR(95% CI) = 0.976(0.758-1.257); rs2243288, P = 0.659, OR(95% CI) = 1.060(0.818-1.375). Overall genotype P values were: rs2227284, P = 0.771; rs2243283, P = 0.571; rs2243288, P = 0.902. There were no statistically significant differences between patients with chronic HBV infection and controls. Haplotypes generated by these three SNPs also had no significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions The three tag SNPs of IL-4 were not associated with the outcome of HBV infection in the Han Chinese population.展开更多
