The treated cells underwent apoptosis with specific DNA fragmentation and became more sensitiveto cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug. Their growth was partly inhibited. Efficient proliferation and generation ofCTLs and cytokine production were induced in mixed lymphocytes through tumor cell reaction (MLTR) using peripheral blood T lymphocytes from donors as effector cells and Ad-multigenes or Ad-p53-transfected human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2 or BEL7402) as stimulator cells. Ad-multigenes-transfected rat carcinosarcomaWalker 256 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into normal rats. Fourteen days later, the activity of spleen cellsin rats inoculated with Ad-multigenes-transduced Walker 256 cells was higher than that in Ad-p53-transducedones. These findings suggest that adenovirus-mediated multigenes p53, B7-1 and GM-CSF can induce apoptosis ofliver cancer cells and initiate a potent antitumor immune response against them.展开更多

Methods: Eighteen malignant hematopoietic cell lines were determined for the F1t3 receptor expression by flow cytometric analysis. The effect of rhFL on the proliferation of malignant hematopoietic cellsin vitro was measured using MTT assay. Results: The expressions of F1t3 receptor on the surface of Raji, Daudi, HL-60, 8266 and XG-6 cells were detected by flow cytometric analysis. Following incubation with 20 ng/ml TNFα for 24h, the number of F1t3 receptor positive cells decreased in Raji and 8266, increased in HL-60 and XG-6, and no difference in Daudi cells. After incubation with 10?6 mol/L DXM for 24h, the number of F1t3 receptor positive cells decreased in all the 5 F1t3 receptor positive cell lines. rhFL stimulated the proliferation of HL-60 and Raji cells. Conclusion: For most of the malignant hematopoietic cells, there was neither the expression of F1t3 receptor nor the response to rhFL. DXM may be useful to reduce the effect of FL on the proliferation of some F1t3 receptor positive malignant hematopoietic cells in vitro andin vivo.展开更多

Fusion protein with an N-terminal His-tag could be purified by Ni2+-resin affinity chromatography and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Cultured EC9706 cells treated with PEP-1-P27mt revealed that PEP-1-P27mt was transduced into cells after 15 min and reached maximal intracellular concentra- tions in 2 h. PEP-1-P27mt of 1 μmol/L final concentration could most strongly suppress the growth. It was suggested that PEP-1 can carry P27mt across membrane, which provides a new biological pro- tocol for using cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p27mt in suppressing the growth of tumor cells.展开更多
