Cultured in glucose free M9ZB medium and induced with IPTG and lactose at a final concentration of 0.02 mmol/L and 5 mmol/L respectively, the engineered bacteria carrying expression vector of human HSP70 gene expressed rHSP70 at an efficiency of 60 %. After the purification with DEAE ion exchange chromatography, HSP70 with a purity of higher than 90 % was obtained. The purified product could bind tumor antigen peptide in vitro , and the binding was identified by native PAGE containing 5 % glycerol. HSP70 peptide complex could activate lymphocytes to produce specific cytotoxicity to tumor cells, suggesting that the recombinant human HSP70 could be used as an antigen presenting reagent in tumor therapy.展开更多

However, evidence about the direct relationship between HSP70 expression and HPVs infections are still lacking. In the present study, we examined the expression of HSP70 in keratinocytes introduced with HPV16 E6/E7 oncogenes. Methods Stable transfected cells were established by transfection of the plasmids pLXSN16E6/E7 into cultured primary keratinocytes and subsequently selected by plasmid specific selection antibiotic （G418） at the required concentration. The expression of HSP70 in pLXSN16E6/E7 transfected keratinocytes was determined by Western blot. The correlation of HSP70 expression and E6/E7 transfeetion was further confirmed by doubly labelled immunofluorescent staining. Results Compared to non-transfected keratinocytes, there was a significant trend for higher levels of HSP70 in pLXSN16E6/E7 transfected keratinocytes. Doubly labelled immunofluorescent staining experiment showed that the co-localization of HPV16 E6/E7 and HSP70 in transfeeted keratinoeytes was observed and increased expression of HSP70 was strongly associated with the transfection of HPV16 E6/E7. Conclusions Our studies demonstrated increased levels of HSP70 proteins in keratinocytes stably transfected by HPV16 E6/E7 oncogenes. It suggests that the expression of HSP70 is modulated by HPV16 E6/E7 proteins, which may be involved in HPV16 E6/E7 induced immortalization.展开更多
