Methods 1o7 cases of B-cell lymphomas were studied uslng DNA extracted from rresh-frozen tissues. The DNA samples were amplified by PCR for bcl-2 MBR/JH. The products of bcl-2/JH rearrangement were hybridized with an internal olignucleotide probe or bcl-2 MBR. Results The rearranged bcl-2MBR/JH gene was detected in 13 of the 25(52. o% ) follicular center lymphomas, according to REAL classification: 8 of 11 (72. 7%) grade 1, 2 of 5(40. 0%) grade I, and 3 of 90 (33. 3%) grade, 17 of 82(2o. 8%) cases or difruse large B-cell lymphomas were found to have detectable bel-2 MBR/J. rearrangement- Conclusion The rrequency or bcl-2 MBR/JH rearrangement in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas is significantly lower than those in follicular center lympkomas(X2= 9. 28, P <o. oo5), suggesting that bcl2/JH rearrangements occur mainly in follicular center lymphomas. in addition, the result of reconstruction experiments suggest that amplification or bcl-2 MBR/JH rearrangements by PCR is both sensitive and specific for detection of t (14; 18 ) translocation.展开更多

This study aims to investigate whether Bcl-2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) combined with miR-15a oligonucleotides (ODN) could enhance methotrexate (MTX)-induced apoptosis in Raji cells. Methods: Chemically synthesized miR-15a ODN and Bcl-2 siRNA were transfected in Raji cells by using a HiPerFect Transfection Reagent and then combined with MTX. Expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation was determined by CCK8 assay. The rate of cell apoptosis was determined by Annexin V/PI double staining. The morphology of apoptotic cells was observed by Hoechst-33 258 staining. Results: After the cells were transfected with miR-15a ODN combined with Bcl-2 siRNA, Bcl-2 protein levels were evidently decreased. CCK8 assay showed that cell proliferation was significantly decreased and was significantly lower in miR-15a ODN combined with Bcl-2 siRNA plus MTX group than in miR-15a ODN with methotrexate group, Bcl- 2 siRNA with MTX group, and single MTX group (P<0.05). Hoechst 33258 staining revealed numerous apoptotic cells. AnnexinV/PI double staining showed that the apoptotic rates were (13.13±1.60)%, (34.47±2.96)%, (32.87±3.48)%, and (45.47±2.16)% in MTX, Bcl-2 siRNA plus MTX, miR-15a ODN plus MTX, and miR-15a ODN combined with Bcl- 2 siRNA plus MTX groups, respectively. Among these groups, the apoptotic rate of miR-15a ODN combined with Bcl-2 siRNA plus MTX group was the highest; this apoptotic rate was also significantly different from that of miR-15a ODN or Bcl-2 siRNA plus MTX (P<0.05). Conclusions: Bcl-2 siRNA combined with miR-15a ODN could enhance MTX-induced apoptosis in Raji cells. Bcl-2 siRNA and miR-15a combined with MTX may be a useful approach to improve the treatment effects on lymphoma.展开更多

Methods： The human renal cell carcinoma cell line ACHN was treated with different concentrations of curcumin for 24 h. The MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of curcumin and flow cytometry was utilized to observe and detect the apoptosis of ACHN cells induced by curcumin. The expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax and NF-κBP65 mRNA were evaluated by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction （RT-PCR）, while the expression of Bcl- 2, Bax, NF-κBP65 and IκB proteins was evaluated by Western blot. Results： The concentrations of curcumin used significantly inhibited the proliferation of ACHN human renal cell carcinoma cells in vitro in a dose and time-dependent manner （Ftime=5.55, P 〈 0.05; Fdose=110.05, P 〈 0.05）. Obvious apoptosis of cells treated with different concentrations of curcumin could be observed by FCM. Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rates of curcumin-treated cells were markedly increased （F=96.35, P 〈 0.05）. Lower dose of curcumin significantly induced the apoptosis of ACHN cells. With intervention of different concentrations of curcumin （0, 10, 20 and 40 μmol/L） for 24 h, the expression levels of Bcl-2 and NF-κBP65 mRNA in ACHN cells were decreased while the expression level of Bax mRNA was increased （P 〈 0.05）, and Bcl-2, and NF-κBP65 protein decreased, while Bax and IκB protein increased compared with those in the untreated group. Conclusion： Curcumin inhibited proliferation and increased apoptosis of the human renal cell carcinoma cell line ACHN. These curcumin effects appear to involve up-regulating IκB, down-regulating NF-κB, and regulating the expression of the apoptosis genes Bcl-2/Bax.展开更多
