The virus-infected cell clones were isolated by limited dilution method. It was found that the EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) could be detected in the infected cells. The Akata and P3HR-1 EBV infected parental cells and most of clones expressed EBNA1, but not EBNA2. Latent membrane protein (LMP-1) and LMP-2, and the Q promoter (p), but not the Cp/Wp for EBNA gene transcription was active in the infected parental cells as well as all the clones. Uninfected HSC-39 cells did not express CD21, however, Akata but not P3HR-1 EBV-infected clones expressed low level of CD21 mRNA. These results demonstrate that HSC-39 cells are susceptible to both EBV strains and EBV infects HSC-39 cells through the CD21-independent pathway. This study defines a signet ring type of gastric carcinoma cells line as a unique target cells for the study of EBV infection mechanism.展开更多

Synthetic 15-mer directed at the region of the translational initiation site of c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene (ASO-r) greatly inhibited the proliferation (55. 61%,P<0. 05) and DNA synthesis (76. 79%,P<0. 05) of MGc-803 cell line. It also inhibited the proliferation (62. 02%,P<0. 05) and DNA synthesis (76. 78%, P<0. 05) of SGc-7901 cell line. A reduction in intracellular P21 ras protein levels in MGc-803 cell line was observed 6 h after the treatment with ASO-r and maintained over 12 h. Another synthetic 15-mer targeted against the initiation codon and downstream 4 codons of c-myc proto-oncogene (ASOm) inhibited only DNA synthesis of MGc-803 cell line (71. 37%, P<0. 05). The control 15-mer did not inhibit the expression of P21 protein and proliferation of these cell lines. These experiments seemed to provide evidence that ASO-r could be effective in inhibiting the expression of c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene and controlling the growth of human gastric carcinoma cells,and that the over-expression of c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene might mainly be associated with the malignant proliferation of human gastric carcinoma cells.展开更多

文摘肝脏是代谢的中枢性器官,在糖脂代谢中扮演重要角色。FGF-21是近年来发现的一种治疗糖尿病新型药物,研究其对肝脏糖代谢影响及机制将为FGF-21成药性提供理论依据。以Hep G2细胞为肝细胞模型,探究FGF-21对Hep G2细胞葡萄糖吸收影响及作用机制。FGF-21处理Hep G2细胞,采用葡萄糖氧化酶-过氧化物酶(GOD-POD)法检测细胞对葡萄糖摄取情况,并检查胰岛素与FGF-21协同作用,蒽酮法检测细胞内糖原含量,半定量和实时荧光定量PCR检测FGF-21对葡萄糖转运蛋白(GLUTs)m RNA表达影响。结果表明,FGF-21可促进Hep G2细胞摄取葡萄糖,与胰岛素具有一定协同作用,增加糖原合成。半定量PCR结果显示在FGF-21作用下,仅GLUT1m RNA表达有所增加。实时荧光定量PCR检测FGF-21作用时间对GLUT1 m RNA表达量影响,发现FGF-21作用6 h时GLUT1 m RNA表达量倍数增加最大。说明FGF-21可通过增加GLUT1 m RNA表达促进Hep G2细胞消耗葡萄糖,参与糖原合成。
