Methods: The recombination vector pcDNA3.1-E7 carrying wild type HPV 16 E7 was identified by sequencing. The recombination vector pcDNA3.1-E7 was transfected into mouse lymphadenoma cell line RMA by liposome, and the monoclonal cells transfected stably were obtained by antibiotics G418 sieving and limiting dilution assay. RT-PCR method was used to detect the expression of HPV 16 E7 mRNA in RMA-E7 cells. The growth of RMA cells and RMA-E7 cells cultured in vitro was tested by Cell Count Kit-8. RMA-E7 cells and RMA cells were subcutaneously inoculated in syngeneic mice respectively, the tumor size was measured by sliding caliper twice a week, and the E7 protein expression in tumor tissue of mice was detected by Western blot after tumor formation. The kinetics of cytolytic activity of E7 specific T cells in tumor-bearing mice was measured by LDH kit. Results: Sequencing of recombination vector showed the target gene which was inserted into the recombinant was correct, and RMA-E7 cells expressing E7 protein stably were obtained by limited dilution assay. There were no obvious differences in morphous and growth velocity between RMA cells and RMA-E7 cells in vitro. RMA-E7 cells grew in syngeneic mice were significantly slower than RMA cells. The E7 protein was ex- pressed stronger in RMA-E7 cells in vivo than in vitro. The cytolytic ability of ET-specific CTL was activated at the early stage, reached the maximum at the middle stage, and lost at the end stage. RMA-E7 cells isolated from the tumor-bearing mice were more resistant to E7-specific CTL killing than RMA-E7 cells cultured in vitro. Conclusion: The E7 protein expression has no obvious influence on growth of RMA-E7 cells in vitro, and can suppress growth of RMA-E7 cells in vivo. The activity curve of E7 specific CTL approximately presents "bell" shape. The RMA-E7 cells grew in vivo had a high expression levels of E7 protein, and more resistant to E7-specific CTL killing than those cultured in vitro. The E7 protein expression in vivo not only initiates immune activation, but also induces immune tolerance.展开更多

The expression of E6 gene was assayed in macrophage lysates by using Western blot analysis and the level of TNF-α or IL-1β was examined by ELISA. All of data were analyzed by SPSS12.0. As demonstrated by Western blot analysis, the expression of E6 protein with a molecular weight of about 18 kDa by plasmid pcDNA3.1 (-)/E6 in THP-1-macrophages could be detected. However, as demonstrated by ELISA assay, the level of TNF-α or IL-1β in lysates of THP-1-macrophages showed an obvious difference between the pcDNA3.1 (-)/E6 group and the LPS control group or the pcDNA3.1 (-) control group (P 〈 0.01), but no significant difference existed between pcDNA3.1 (-) control group and LPS control group ( P 〉 0.05). All these results illustrate that the transient over-expression of HPV6 E6 protein reduces the production of TNF-α and IL-1β induced by LPS in THP-1-macrophages.展开更多

Eighteen of the 22 patients (18/22) gave positive reaction with a positive rate of 81.8%. The positive rates of HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18 were 27.3%, 18.2%, 63.6% and 40.9% respectively. 13.6% positive for mixed infection of HPV 16 and 18 (3/22) and 18.2% positive for mixed infection of HPV, 6, 11, 16 and 18 (4/22). Examining enlarged cervical lymph nodes in three cases with suspecting metastases to cervical lymph nodes from oral carcinomas. It revealed HPV DNA 16 and 18 in two cases and HPV DNA 18 in one case. These results suggested that there was a tendency for HPV 16 and 18 to metastasinze via lymphatics. Only one case of the three had a pathologic diagnosis of lymph node metastasis. Of the 30 non tumor controls, HPV DNA positivity was 10%, all being HPV 18. χ 2 test gave a P<0.005. It strongly indicated that HPV 16 and 18 were related to oral carcinomas.展开更多
