The eukaryotic expressing plasmid of IL-24 （pEGFP-IL-24） was constructed by DNA recombination technique. The recombination plasmid and empty vector were transfected into B16F0 cells and the expressions of IL-24 were determined by LSM, the proliferation of B16F0 cells was measured by MTT assay, and apoptosis rate and cell-cycle distribution of B16F0 cells were measured by FCM. The inhibitory effect of IL-24 gene transfection in mouse solid tumor was observed and measured. Compared with the control, the proliferation of B16F0 cells was inhibited by transfection with pEGFP-IL-24 and the G2/M phase of the transfected cells was also increased. Moreover, the percentage of mice with detectable tumor was decreased after inoculated with B16F0 cells transfected with pEGFP-IL-24. Growth rate of tumor in mouse model was significantly inhibited in IL-24 gene therapy group compared with the control. Proliferation of B16F0 cells was inhibited by pEGFP-IL-24 transfection. The intratumor injection of pEGFP-IL-24 could inhibit the growth of solid tumor in mice remarkably. Cellular ＆ Molecular Immunology.展开更多

RT-PCR was performed to examine the expression of MDA-7 mRNA. The concentrations of MDA-7/IL-4 in culture superuatants were determined by using ELISA. MTT and Hoechst staining assay were applied to observe the inhibitory and killing effects of MDA-7 on the HCC cells. By using flow cytometry, the apoptosis, cell cycle and proliferation of SMMC-7721 and L02 cells were measured. The results showed recombinant replication-incompetent virus expressing MDA-7/IL-24 was constructed successfully, and RT-PCR revealed that it could mediate the high expression of the exogenous gene MDA-7/IL-24 in SMMC-7721 and L02 cells. The expression of MDA-7/IL-24 proteins in the culture superuatant was detectable by ELISA. Ad.mda-7 infection induced apoptosis and growth suppression in SMMC-7721 cells and an increased percentage of HCC cells in the GyM phase of the cell cycle, but not in L02 cells. It was concluded that mda-7/IL-24 gene, mediated with replication-incompetent adenovirus vector, could selectively induce growth suppression and apoptosis in HCC cell line SMMC-7721 but without any toxic side-effect on normal liver line L02.展开更多
