METHODS:Twenty-one patients with CHB were treated with pegylated IFN α-2b. Periphery blood mononuclear cells were isolated from fresh heparinized blood by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation (density:1.077 g/L,Pharmingen) at weeks 0,4,8,12,and 24,respectively. Frequency of circulating hepatitis B virus (HBV) epitope-specific CD8 T cells was detected by flow cytometry. Cytokines were detected by cytometric bead assay. RESULTS:The frequency of circulating HBV core or env-specific CD8 T cells was higher (P < 0.05),the number of HBV core specific CD8 T cells was greater at week 24 (P < 0.05),the level of Th1-type cytokines [interleukin (IL)-12,tumor necrosis factor-α,and IFN-γ] was higher,while that of Th2-type cytokines (IL-4,IL-6,and IL-10) was lower in responders than in nonresponders (P < 0.05) after pegylated IFN α-2b treatment. The IL-6 level was correlated with HBV DNA (r = 0.597,P = 0.04),while the inducible protein-10 (IP-10) level was correlated with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (r = 0.545,P = 0.005). The IP-10 level at week 8 after pegylated IFN α-2b treatment could predict the normalization of ALT in CHB patients (positive predict value = 56%,negative predict value = 92%). CONCLUSION:Pegylated IFN α-2b can enhance the immune response of CHB patients by increasing the frequency of HBV specific CD8+ T cells and regulating the Th1/Th2 cytokines.展开更多

The recombinant plasmid pBIFN was transferred into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404. Then the hIFN-α2b gene was introduced into ginseng callus cells via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and the ginseng cell line carrying hIFN-α2b gene was selected on G418-containing medium. The presence of target gene in transformed cells was confirmed by PCR and RT-PCR. The results indicate that hIFN-α2b gene has been integrated into the ginseng cells＇ genome, with transcription products, hIFN-α2b expressed by the transgenic ginseng cells was detected by Western blot. It was shown that a specific protein band at 19000 could be observed. Cytopathic effect（CPE） inhibition assay using the W1SH-VSV system shows that the mean antiviral activity of expressed hlFN-a2α was 6.0× 10^4 IU/mL.展开更多

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.展开更多
