The current methods of the pertinent studies are not precise and sensitive. The present study was to use liver cancer cell line to explore the bio-compatibility and cytotoxicity of ternary quantum dots（QDs） probe and to evaluate the possible application of QDs in HCC.METHODS： CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP fluorescence probe was designed and synthesized to label the liver cancer cell HepG 2. The cytotoxicity of CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP probe was evaluated by MTT experiments and flow cytometry. RESULTS： The labeling experiments indicated that CuInS_2-ZnS QDs conjugated with AFP antibody could enter HepG 2 cells effectively and emit intensive yellow fluorescence by ultraviolet excitation without changing cellular morphology. Toxicity tests suggested that the cytotoxicity of CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP probe was significantly lower than that of CdT e-ZnS-AFP probe（t test, F=0.8, T=-69.326, P〈0.001）. For CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP probe, timeeffect relationship was presented in intermediate concentration（〉20%） groups（P〈0.05） and dose-effect relationship was presented in almost all of the groups（P〈0.05）. CONCLUSION： CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP QDs probe had better biocompatibility and lower cytotoxicity compared with CdT e-ZnS-AFP probe, and could be used for imaging the living cells in vitro.展开更多
文摘目的了解贝类多糖对Hep G2.2.15细胞JAK-STAT信号转导途径分子表达的影响。方法用RT-PCR的方法检测经贝类多糖处理的Hep G2.2.15细胞在不同时间段的STAT1和STAT2 m RNA表达的水平。结果 RT-PCR结果显示经贝类多糖处理后Hep G2.2.15细胞STAT1和STAT2 m RNA表达水平明显升高,与对照组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),表明Hep G2.2.15细胞对贝类多糖有应答。结论贝类多糖对HBV有一定的抑制作用,其作用机制可能与INF-α类似。
