Study on pharmacodynamics of recombinant interferon α-2b suppository

Objective To investigate the antiviral activity of recombinant interferonα-2b suppository(IFNα-2b)in vivo and in vitro.Methods The cytopathic-effect inhibition assay was applied in this study to investigate the antiviral activity of this drug as well as yingtelong and axiluowei as positive control.The guinea pig model of vaginitis and skin infection caused by HSV-2 infection were established,treated with IFNα-2b suppository at dosages of 60000、180000、540000 IU,using IFNα-2b injection 180000 IU·kg-1 as controls.Score the pathological changes of appearance and skin,the virus activities of vaginal secretion and tissue sections of viginae were assayed after treatment.Results The TD50 of IFN α-2b and yingtelong for Vero cells was(>100)μg·mL-1 and(>100000)IU·mL-1,respectively.The IC50 of IFN α-2b and yingtelong and axiluowei for Herpes virus type 1 was(0.29±0.08)μg·mL-1 and(185.0±28.8)IU·mL-1 and(0.19±0.03)μg·mL-1,respectively.The mean scores for vaginal and skin lesion of the treated groups were lower than those of untreated group.Among these concentrations,the IFNα-2b suppository of 540000 IU·kg-1 group.Showed highest anti-viral activity.The virus activity in vaginal secretion of treated group was lower than that of untreated group too(P<0.01 or P<0.05).Tissue sections of viginae after treatment with IFNα-2b suppository showed significantly therapeutical effects on the degrees of vaginal lesion.At the same dosage,The anti-HSV activity of IFNα-2b suppository was also compared with IFNα-2b injection,the results showed that the activity of suppository of 540000 IU·kg-1 group was similar to that of the injection.Conclusions The IFNα-2b suppository has anti-viruses function both in vivo and in vitro.

SYNERGIC CYTOTOXICITY TO GASTRIC CANCER CELLS BY COMBINED USE OF TRICHOSANTHIN ANDRECOMBINANT INTERFERON α-2B

Objective To investigate a new approach of the combined use of trichosanthin (TCS) andrecombinant interferon alpha - 2b (rIFN α- 2b) against digestive system cancer cells. Methods Detect separatelythe cytotoxicity of TCS, rIFN α- 2b and their combination against digestive system cancer cell SGC- 7901.Results In the experiment in vitro, TCS, rIFN α- 2b both had direct, dose dependent cytotoxicity againstSGC - 7901. Their combined use demonstrated a toxicity signijicantly higher than that of the two drugs used alone,showing a signilicant synergic effect. This synergic cytotoxicity was confirmed in the animal experiment.Conclusion Combined use of TCS and rIFN α - 2b decreases the therapeutic dose of TCS and its toxic adverseellect, and this synergic effect is favorable to the clinical use of TCS protein against gastric cancer.

Effects of anti-HPV bioprotein dressing combined with interferon α-2b therapy on the malignant molecule expression in patients with CINⅢ complicated by high-risk HPV positive

Objective: To study the effects of anti-HPV bioprotein dressing combined with interferon α-2b therapy on the malignant molecule expression in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅲ complicated by high-risk HPV positive. Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with CINⅢ and high-risk HPV positive and underwent conization in the 3201 Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University between June 2014 and February 2017 were selected and randomly divided into the observation group who received preoperative anti-HPV bioprotein dressing combined with interferon α-2b therapy and the control group who received no special treatment. CIN lesion was collected to determine the expression of pro-proliferation molecules, pro-apoptosis molecules and epithelial-mesenchymal transition molecules. Results: Rsf1, Piwil2, TOPK, p38MAPK, ERK, Snail, Twist, N-cadherin and Vimentin mRNA expression in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia lesions of observation group were greatly lower than those of control group whereas LRIG3, SARI, IEX-1, FHIT and E-cadherin mRNA expression were greatly higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Anti-HPV bioprotein dressing combined with interferon α-2b therapy can inhibit the proliferation and invasive growth of tumor cells in patients with CINⅢ complicated by high-risk HPV positive.
