Methods：MAGE-A9 cDNA was cloned from human hepatocellular carcinoma tissue by using RT-PCR, and then subcloned into the plasmid pMD18-T. After sequencing, the MAGE-A9 was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pBAD/gⅢ to construct the recombinant expression vector pBAD/gⅢ - MAGE-A9, and was transformed into E. coli TOP10. The recombinant MAGE-A9 protein was expressed under induction of L-Arabinose, and was purified through Hitrap column. The anti-MAGE-A9 monoclonal antibody was generated. The expression of MAGE-A9 in hepatocellular carcinoma specimens was examined through ABC assay. Results：The cDNA sequence of the cloned MAGE-A9 gene was consistent with the reported sequence. By affinity column and SDS-PAGE, the purified MAGE-A9 fusion protein displayed a band of Mr 35,000, and subsequently the anti-MAGE-A9 monoclonal antibody was obtained. We found that MAGE-A9 expressed in the cytoplast of positive cells and MAGE-A9 antigen was detected in 8 cases out of 39 （21%） hepatocellular carcinoma specimens. Conclusion：MAGE-A9 antigen was expressed in a fair proportion of hepatocellular carcinoma specimens, these patients might be suitable candidates for immune involving antigen, encoded by the MAGE-A9 gene.展开更多

The Ags encoded by MAGE genes therefore are strictly tumor-specific. The most current researches associated with these genes focus on the tumor vaccination using these Ags. Few reports are concerning these genes' functions. In this study, we investigated the role of MAGE-A1 gene on NIH3T3 cells after transferring with it. Methods: Clone the MAGE-A1 into the plasmids pEGFP-C3 and pcDNA3.1, then transfer the reconstructed plasmids and primary plasmids into the NIH3T3 cells using a new transfer reagent FuGENE 6. Selecting the positively transferred cells by G418. Identified by RT-PCR, Western blot, Immunocytochemistry, Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope and Fluoroscope. The cells mobile ability was measured with Millicell-PCF. The cell cycle and apoptosis were measured with Flow Cytometry. Results:The apoptosis rate of NIH3T3 cells that transferred with control plasmid pcDNA3.1 was 13.4% and the ratios that stay in S phase and G2-M phase were 5.68% and 1.04% respectively. The apoptosis rate of NIH3T3 cells that transferred with pcDNA3.1-A1 was 0.90% and the ratios that stayed in S phase and G2-M phase were 19.31% and 13.47% respectively. The apoptosis rate of the cells that transferred with control plasmid pEGFP-C3 was 1.87%, a little higher than 1.47% of those transferred with pEGFP-C3-A1. Conclusion:The MAGE-A1 gene may enhance the cell cycle, inhibit the apoptosis and raise the mobile (ability) of NIH3T3 cells.展开更多
