Objective: To investigate the antitumor mechanisms of the streptococcal preparation OK-432. Methods: Using C57BL/6 mouse bearing B16 melanoma, we observed the antitumor activity of OK-432 and investigated the effect of OK-432 on multi-cytokine (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-() production of mouse splenocyte both in vitro and in vivo. Results: As compared with control, OK-432 significantly inhibited B16 melanoma growth and lengthened mice survival time (P<0.05). In vitro OK-432 could stimulate splenocyte from tumor bearing mice to secrete IL-6, IL-12, IFN-( and IL-10 remarkably (P<0.01). In vivo OK-432 led to the increased production of IL-2, IL-12 and IFN-( but decreased production of IL-10 (P<0.05). When the splenocytes harvested from OK-432 treated mice were stimulated with OK-432 again in vitro, the production of IFN-( increased and IL-10 decreased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion: OK-432 could boost multiple cytokines production, especially IL-12 which skewed T cells in a Th1 dominant state and enhanced the host antitumor activities.

To study the killing effect of suicide gene CD on mouse gastric cancer. Methods: CD gene was transduced with the retroviral vector. The killing effect and bystander effect of CD gene on mouse gastric cancer cell line MFC were observed. The mouse gastric cancer model was used for in vivo study. The CD gene containing virus was injected into the tumors. The volumes of the tumors in every group were measured in time. Results: Significant killing effect and bystander effect were observed by CD gene in vitro, 70~80% cell death resulting from 20% of CD gene transduction. In vivo, CD/5-Fc caused tumor to diminution. Conclusion: CD/5-Fc system has significant killing effect on mouse gastric cancer

Objective: To clone multidrug resistance (MDR) related genes in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Methods: The differentially expressed cDNA fragments between A549 and A549DDP cells were analyzed by mRNA differential display PCR(DD RT-PCR). The fragments thus obtained were further analyzed by DNA sequencing and Northern blotting. Results: Three differentially expressed cDNA fragments were obtained and confirmed by Northern blot. Sequence analysis revealed that two of them were novel and one was 100% identical with ICE gene. Conclusion: Analyzing differentially expressed fragment between A549 and A549DDP cells may be helpful for finding new MDR related genes. The drug resistance of A549DDP cells may be related to the inhibition or down-regulation of ICE gene.

Objective: Ajoene, a major compound extracted from crashed garlic, has been shown to have antitumor, antimycotic, antimicrobial, antimutagenic functions in vivo or in vitro and treated as a potential antitumor drug. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumor cytotoxicity of ajoene and even garlic substances are poorly defined. In the present study, we aimed to generate gene expression profiles of HL-60 cell treated by ajoene. Methods: A cDNA microarray presenting 2400 of genes amplified from human leukocyte cDNA library was constructed and the gene expression profiles of HL-60 cell induced by ajoene were generated. Results: After data analysis, 28 differentially expressed genes were identified and sequenced. These genes include 21 known genes and 7 ESTs. Most of the known genes are related to cell apoptosis, such as secretory granule (PRG1), beta-2 microglobulin (B2M), 16S ribosomal RNA gene and ribosomal protein S12. Several genes are related to cell differentiation, including the genes similar to H3 histone and ribosomal protein L31. Northern blot analysis was used to verify and quantify the expression of selected genes. Conclusion: Ajoene can induce HL-60 cell apoptosis significantly and may play a role in differentiation. cDNA microarray technology can be a valuable tool to gain insight into molecular events of pharmacological mechanism of herbal medicine.

Objective:The Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) play an important role in maintaining immune privilege on malignant tumors. In present study, we investigated the expression of FasL in SW480 and LS174 human colon carcinoma cell lines and twenty primary colon carcinoma specimens. Methods: The expression of FasL in human colon carcinoma cell lines and primary colon carcinomas specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry and Reverse Transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results: We found that all of detected human colon carcinoma cell lines and primary colon carcinoma specimens constitutively expressed FasL at the mRNA and protein level. However, the expression of FasL was not found in normal colon epithelial cells. Conclusion: The expression of FasL may occur during malignant transformation from normal colon epithelial cells to colon carcinoma cells. Our results suggest that tumor cells kill cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLS) and natural killer (NK) cells by expression of FasL. It may be a new mechanism for tumor cells to escape the host's immune surveillance. The expression of FasL may contribute to the formation of colon carcinomas.

To investigate the regulation effect of protein kinase A on IL-6-induced STAT3 activation in myeloma cells. Methods: Two human myeloma cell lines-Sko-007 and U266 were pretreated with Forskolin, a protein kinase A antagonist, and then stimulated by IL-6. The activation state of STAT3 in these two cells were examined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results: Although PKA pathway itself doesn't participate in IL-6 signal transduction in Sko-007 and U266 cells, activation of protein kinase A can inhibit IL-6-induced STAT3 activation in these two cell lines. Conclusion: There exists an inhibitory effect of protein kinase A on STAT3 activation in human myeloma cells treated by IL-6.

Objective: To understand whether verapamil (VER) resistance development in the multidrug-resistant cell line and its mechanism. Methods: K562/ADM/VER cell subline resistant to verapamil was established through a gradual increase of VER concentration in the media. MTT method was used to assay resistance to VER, cross resistance to dipyriamole (DPM), cyclosporin A (CsA) in the cells, and HPLC and spectrofluorometer to detect intracellular accumulation of VER or ADM respectively, as well as S-P immunocytochemical technique for detection of genes expression. Results: It were observed that 7.9-fold increase in VER resistance, significantly reduced intracellular accumulation of VER or ADM and also develop across resistance to DPM and CsA in K562/ADM/VER cells, compared with its parent cell, K562/ADM. High-level of p-glycoprotein(pgp), middle-level of p53, p16, was present in two cell lines without expression of GSTPI, C-myc, C-myc, C-fos and C-erbB-2. Bc1-2 protein expression was found only in K562/ADM cells. Conclusion: K562/ADM cells were capable of being induced to develop resistance to VER.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate differential pattern of G1-cyclins (D1 and E) in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of human urinary bladder with or without human papillomavirus-18 (HPV-18) infection. Methods: Immunohistochemistry method was used in the detection of the expression of G1-cyclins in 57 cases of TCC (7 normal bladders as control), and HPV-18 DNA was found in 29 cases by polymerases chain reaction (PCR). Results: Cyclin D1 expression was found in 41 of 57 (71.93%) TCCs and it was reverse associated with HPV (x2=8.21, P<0.05). And cyclin D1 expression was found in 16 of 29 (55.17%) in HPV-18 infection group and 25 of 28 (89.29%) in non-HPV infection group. Cyclin E expression was detected in 36 of 57 (63.16%) and the association between the cyclin E expression and HPV infection was not found (x2=0.52, P>0.05). Cyclin E expression was found in 17 of 29 (56.82%) in HPV-18 infection group and 19 of 28 (67.86%) in non-HPV infection group. There was obvious difference in the cyclin D1 and cyclin E expression between the TCC and normal tissue (x2=7.46, P<0.05; x2=7.45, P<0.05, respectively). Conclusion: These data demonstrated that HPV infection altered the control of G1 cell cycle. And changes of G1 cell cycle regulatory proteins, either by interaction of cellular protein with viral oncoproteins or by changes in the cellular proteins themselves, may be critical for carcinogenesis of TCC of urinary bladder.

To investigate the influence of consecutive immunization on cellular and humoral immunity in mice. Methods: We evaluated a consecutive immunization strategy of priming with recombinant fowlpox virus vUTALG and boosting with plasmid DNA pcDNAG encoding HIV-1 capsid protein Gag. Results: In immunized mice, the number of CD4+ T cells from splenic lymphocytes increased significantly and the proliferation response of splenocytes to ConA and LPS elevated markedly and HIV-1-specific antibody response could be induced. Conclusion: Consecutive immunization could increase cellular and humoral immunity responses in mice.
