In the present study, to control the growth of tumor cells, ODC antisense RNA was used to transfect human lung squamous carcinoma cell line LTEP-78. Compared with the parental cells, growth of the antisense transfected LTEP-78 cells arrested in G0/Gl phase and colony formation in soft agarose and tumorigenicity in nude mice were significantly reduced. Nucleic acid hybridization demonstrated that the transfectants expressed a high level of ODC antisense RNA and a significantly reduced level of endogenous ODC mRNA.The results suggest that the reversion of malignant phenotypes of human lung squamous carcinoma cells transfected with ODC antisense RNA is associated with the inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis.展开更多

The morphological characteristics of the original tumor were maintained in passages from 4 to 33. But from the 35th generation, an increasing amount of tonofilaments and nuclear segregation with typical features was found with electron microscopy. The C-type virus particles were first detected in extra cellular space after 40 passages. The viruses were observed in different stages of growth, but their distribution and number did not show apparent change up to 54 passages. Such findings suggest that LSX-83 cells probably possess certain barrier of resistance against C-type viruses. The relation between C-type viruses and the morphological changes of LSX-83 cells was discussed.展开更多

The results showed that well-resolved, reproducible 2-DE patterns of human lung squamous carcinoma and adjacent normal bronchial epithelial tissues were obtained under the condition of 0.75-mg protein-load. The average deviation of spot position was 0.733±0.101 mm in IEF direction, and 0.925±0.207 mm in SDS-PAGE direction. For tumor tissue, a total of 1241±88 spots were detected, 987±65 spots were matched with an average matching rate of 79.5%. For control, a total of 1190±72 spots were detected, and 875±48 spots were matched with an average matching rate of 73.5%. A total of 864±34 spots were matched between tumors and controls. Forty-three differential proteins were characterized: some proteins were related to oncogenes, and others involved in the regulation of cell cycle and signal transduc-tion. It is suggested that the differential proteomic approach is valuable for mass identification of differentially expressed proteins involved in lung carcinogenesis. These data will be used to establish human lung cancer proteome database to further study human lung squamous carcinoma.展开更多

The effect of retinoids on growth of Tca8113 cells in vitro was examined by MTT assay and Trypan blue exclusion assay. Cell cycle analysis, early apoptosis analysis with double staining with Annexin V-FITC and PI, and active caspase-3 analysis with the staining of FITC-conjugated monoclonal rabbit anli-active caspase-3 antibody were made by flow cytometer. Streptavidin-biotin complex (SABC) immunocytochemical assays were employed for the detections of Bax/Bcl-2 proteins expressions. Our results showed that the retinoids inhibited growth of Tca8113 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner with maximal inhibition 24 h after treatment of 10 5 mol/L. 10^-5 mol/L retinoids altered cell cycle distribution of Tca8113 cells, revealing an increase in G0/G1-phase population, a decrease in S-phase population and the inhibition of G1/S switching. 10^-5 mol/L retinoids significantly induced apoptosis of Tca8113 cells (all P〈0.05), elevated the cells population with detectable active caspase-3 (P〈 0.05 for all), increased the number of cells forming Bax and decreased the number of cells forming Bcl-2 significantly (all P〈0.05). Acitretin played a most prominent role among the retinoids. It is concluded that the inhibition of cell cycle progress of Tca8113 cells by ATRA, acitretin and tazarotene is one of the possible mechanisms for proliferation arrest of TcaS113 cells elicited by the retinoids. The retinoids mediate apoptosis in TcaS113 cells that may be caspase-dependent through mitochondria pathway. High concentration retinoids inhibit growth of Tca8113 cells in vitro by interfering with proliferation and inducing apoptosis of cells. Acitretin may be an alternative medicine for the prevention and treatment of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.展开更多

Tumor necrosis factor a(TNF-α) is a proinflammatory cytokine extensively involved in immune system regulation, cell proliferation and cell survival. However, the effects and mechanisms for the role of TNF-αin laryngeal cancer remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated using western blot analyses and intracellular Ca^(2+) concentration measurements that TNF-α treatment suppressed both TRPP2 expression and ATP-induced Ca^(2+) release in a laryngeal cancer cell line(Hep-2). Knockdown of TRPP2 by a specific siRNA significantly decreased ATP-induced Ca^(2+) release and abolished the effect of TNF-α on the ATP-induced Ca^(2+) release. TNF-α treatment also enhanced Hep-2 cell proliferation and growth, as determined using cell counting and flow cytometry cell cycle assays. Moreover, TNF-α treatment down-regulated phosphorylated protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase(p-PERK) and phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor(p-eIF2α)expression levels, without affecting PERK and eIF2 a expression levels in Hep-2 cells. We concluded that suppressing TRPP2 expression and TRPP2-mediated Ca^(2+) signaling may be one mechanism underlying TNF-α-enhanced Hep-2 cell proliferation.These results offer new insights into the mechanisms of TNF-α-mediated laryngeal cancer cell proliferation, and provide evidences showing a potential role of TNF-α in the development of laryngeal cancer.展开更多
