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: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and paracancerous normal tissues were collected, total RNA was extracted from tissues, survivin, p53 and Ki-67 gene m RNA expression levels in laryngeal cancer and the adjacent tissues were detected by Real-time PCR. Human laryngeal cancer Hep-2 epithelial cells were selected, survivin gene was overexpressed, and cell proliferation was detected by MTT. p53 and Ki-67 gene expression changes in overexpressed survivin gene were detected by Western blot. Changes in Hep-2 cell invasive ability were studied when survivin was overexpressed as detected by Transwell invasion assay. Results: In the adjacent tissues, survivin, p53 and Ki-67 gene relative expression levels were 1.72 ± 0.9, 13.7 ± 5.7 and 5.7 ± 1.3, respectively; while in cancer tissues, gene relative expression levels were 53.7 ± 8.3, 66.7 ± 5.2 and 61.0 ± 3.1, respectively, which was significantly increased. As detected by MTT, relative cell survival rate within 12 h of survivin overexpression were: load control group,(88.5±1.6)%; overexpressed group,(90.3±1.9)%. Transwell invasion assay results indicated that overexpressed survivin could significantly increase the relative survival rate of cells. Conclusions: Expressions of p53, Ki67 and survivin are increased in cancer; and there is a positive correlation between survivin, p53 and Ki67 expressions in laryngeal carcinoma.展开更多

Changes in cell proliferation, apoptotic rate and invasiveness were detected by MTT assay, flow cytometry (FCM) and matrigel in vitro invasion assay, respectively. It was found that DRB inhibited the proliferation of Hep-2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After being treated with 0, 10, 20, 40, 80 μmmol/L DRB for 24 h, the apoptotic rate in Hep-2 cells was (0.68±0.19)%, (1.95±0.12)%, (8.51±0.26)%, (11.26±0.17)% and (14.99±0.32)%, respectively. The matrigel in vitro invasion assay revealed that DRB began to inhibit the invasion of Hep-2 cells at the concentration of 5 μmmol/L, and with the increase of DRB concentration, the inhibitory effect was enhanced. It was suggested that DRB could influence the essential biological characteristics of Hep-2 cells, inhibit Hep-2 cells proliferation, reduce invasive ability and induce apoptosis of Hep-2 cells.展开更多
