Methods QBC939 cells were transfected with antisense vector of human COX-2 gene using LipoVecTM transfecting te-chnique. Transfected cells were selected with G418; COX-2 mRNA was examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and COX-2 protein expression was detected by immunocytochemistry using isozyme selective anti-bodies. The proliferative status of transfected cells was measured by using methabenzthiazuron (MTT) assay; Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by using flow cytometry. Results RT-PCR showed a lower COX-2 mRNA level in antisense vector transfected cells and immunocytochemistry showed a weaker COX-2 protein expression in antisense vector transfected cells. The antisense vector transfected cells proli-ferative index decreased significantly (P< 0.01), the percentage of S phase decreased remarkably (P< 0.05) in antisense vec-tor transfected cells (9.27% ±1.91%) compared with that in QBC939 cells without transfection(16.35% ±2.87%), and the percentage of G0/G1 phase increased remarkably (P< 0.05) in antisense vector transfected cells (75.16%±4.13%) compared with that in QBC939 cells without transfection (57.31% ±10.16%). Transfection with antisense vector of human COX-2 gene had no significant influence on the apoptosis in QBC939 cells (P> 0.05). Conclusion Transfection with antisense vector of human COX-2 gene could inhibit the proliferation of human cholan-giocarcinoma QBC939 cells.展开更多

The tumor comprises macroscopically prominent intraductal papillary neoplastic epithelia and produces a large amount of viscid mucin, resulting in dilatation of the bile ducts.1 These tumors of the peripheral bile duct, which include benign and malignant lesions, have also been referred to as intraductal growth- type peripheral cholangiocarcinomas,2 mucin-producing cholangiocellular carcinomas,3 intraductal papillary neoplasms （IPNs） of the biliary tract,4 IPNs of the liver,5 or IPNs of the bile duct.6 MPBTs have been the subject of recent attention due to its peculiar histopathology, biological and clinical behavior, varied radiological manifestations, and good prognosis of the patients] Due to the rarity of this disease entity and the non-specific clinical presentation, MPBTs are not well characterized. The purpose of this study was to define the precise diagnosis and correct management of MPBTs with the help of nine clinical cases observed in the last 10 years. The preoperative differential diagnosis, surgical procedure, and postoperative course of these nine cases were retrospectively reviewed.展开更多
