Methods: The expression of K-ras in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (Hep-2) and human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines (MIAPaCa-2) was detected by using RT-PCR. Results: The expression of K-ras mRNA in Hep-2 and MIAPaCa-2 was strong and positive. Conclusion: The expression of K-ras mRNA in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (Hep-2) is positive. Development of laryngeal carcinoma might be related to the activation of K-ras gene point mutation.展开更多

Methods:To establish human LNCaP prostatic carcinoma cell line subcutaneous xenograft models and observe the inhibitory effect of ApoG2 on the tumor model. Immunohistochemistry was employed to observe the expression of Bcl-2, PCNA, CD31, caspase-3 and-8 in tumor tissues. The microvessel density was calculated. Results:ApoG2 could obviously inhibit the growth of subcutaneous prostatic carcinoma implant. ApoG2 decreased the expression of PCNA and CD31, and increased the expression of caspases-3,-8 in tumor tissues. Conclusion:ApoG2 has an inhibitory effect on prostatic carcinoma implants.展开更多

Methods: Human hepatoma HepG2 cells were treated with MET (0, 2, 10, and 50 mM). The inhibitory effect of MET on the proliferation of HepG2 cells was determined by MTT method. The apoptosis of HepG2 cells was detected by flow cytornetry. The expression of cyclin D1 in HepG2 cells was examined by Western blot. ROS-DHE fluorescence probe was used to stain the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by HepG2 cells after treat- ment. Results: MET could inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose and time dependent manner. MET promoted the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. In addition, MET suppressed the expression of cell cycle protein cyclin D1 and induced the produc- tion of ROS in HepG2 cells. Conclusion: MET can inhibit the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells and induce cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, MET has the ability to decrease the expression of cyclin D1 and induce ROS generation, which may be involved in the mechanism of inhibiting hepatoma cells proliferation.展开更多

Methods: Human NPC cell line CNE-2Z was cultivated as three dimensional model using liquid overlay technique. Cell counting was employed to detect the radiosensitivity of CNE-2Z cells by blood cell counter before and after blocking integrin aV function; cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI label. Results: Three dimensional culture model of human NPC cell line CNE-2Z cells were successfully established. The integrin αV expression of CNE-2Z multicellular spheroids elevated as the dosage of radiotherapy increased. Blocking of integrin aV function leaded to higher radiosensitivity and more apoptotic cells of CNE-2Z multicellular spheroids. Conclusion: Cell adhesion molecules integrin aV can influence the radiosensitivity of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells and the inhibition of cell apoptosis might be its mechanism, proved by three dimensional culture model to mimic solid tumor in vivo.展开更多
