ABSTRACT

This paper is aimed to explore the efficiency of a noval gene-target therapy system in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment in vitro, by using survivin gene as the target. A new fusion promoter (AV) driving pcDNA3. 1 (-)AV plasmid, which contained the cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) promoter, was constructed by molecular biologic method. The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3. 1(-)AVGFP and pcDNA3. 1 (-)AVsiRNA-survivin were constructed by cloning and inserting the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and siRNA-survivin sequence into pcDNA3. 1(-) AV plasmid separately. Then these two plasmids were transfected into HepG2, SMMC-7721 and Hela cells by using nanoparticles of calcium phosphate. The transfection efficiencies were detected by GFP. Reversed transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western-blot were used to evaluate the knockdown efficiency of siRNA-survivin. The growth curves and cell death of HepG2 cells transfected with or without pcDNA3. 1(-)AVsiRNA-survivin were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry assay, respectively. The results showed that after transfected with pcDNA3. 1(-)AVGFP vector, only HepG2 cells displayed strong GFP signaling, whereas, no GFP was found in Hela cells, suggesting that AV promoter can specifically drive downstream of gene expression in HCC cells. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein expression levels of survivin in HepG2 cells, but not in Hela and SMMC-7721 cells, were significantly silenced after pcDNA3. 1(-)AVsiRNA-survivin transfection. Finally, compared with the control cells, HepG2 cells, which were transfected with pcDNA3. 1(-) AVsiRNA-survivin plasmid, presented 68.8% cell death, including 38.68% apoptosis and 30.12% necrosis, and significant cell growth inhibition (P < 0.05). These findings indicated that this noval gene-target therapy system could specifically target HCC cells with high efficiency, providing a new gene therapy strategy for HCC.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the biological function and molecular mechanism of membrane associated guanylate kinase,WW and PDZ domain containing 1 (MAGI1) in hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods HepG2MAGI1 stable cell line was constructed by transfecting HepG2 cells with pcDNA3.1-MAGI1 plasmid.Wound healing and invasion assay were performed to compare the migration and invasion ability of HepG2MAGI1 and HepG2 cells.Furthermore,the expression of MAGI1 and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) was also examined by Western blot and the relationship was analyzed.Results The wound healing assay showed that the closure of HepG2MAGI1 cells was significantly slower than that of HepG2 cells [(90±10)% vs.(50±15)%,P<0.05],and the invasion assay showed that the number of HepG2MAGI1 cells that passed through the matrigel was fewer than HepG2 cells (68±18 vs.150±30,P<0.05).The protein expression level of PTEN was significantly elevated in HepG2MAGI1 cells compared with HepG2 cells (1.40±0.32 vs.0.28±0.15,P<0.05).MAGI1 and PTEN protein expression levels were positively correlated (r=0.913,P<0.01).Conclusion MAGI1 may inhibit the cancer cell migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma via regulating PTEN.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the role of histone deacetylase 7 (HDAC7) in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma.@*METHODS@#HepG2 cells and human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) were divided into 3 groups after transfection pSUPER-HDAC7 retroviral interference plasmid: a pSUPER(HDAC7RNAi+) group, a pSUPER(HDAC7RNAi-) group, and a pSUPER group as the control group. The expression of HDAC7, p21, cyclin E, matrix metalloproteinases 10 (MMP10), and hypoxiainducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) were detected by Western blot. The expression of HDAC7 in cell lines was determined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and flow cytometry, the nude mice modle, and vascular endothelial cells 2-dimensional tubulogenesis in vitro and in vivo.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group and the pSUPER(HDAC7RNAi-) group, the expression of HDAC7 was downregulated, the rate of cell growth inhibition and apoptosis in the pSUPER(HDAC7RNAi+) group increased more significantly; the expression of p21 and HIF-1alpha was increased significantly, while the expression of cyclin E and MMP10 in the pSUPER(HDAC7RNAi+) group was downregulated (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The expression of HDAC7 protein plays an important role in the apoptosis and vascular tubulogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma by the upregulation of p21 and HIF-1alpha and the downregulation of cyclin E and MMP10.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the causes of thyroid reoperation and the prevention of operative (complications). Methods The clinical data of 96 cases who underwent reoperation of thyroid were (retrospctively) analysed. Results There were 31 cases of thyroid carcinoma(14.0%, P0.05). Conclusions Thyroid (reoperation) is more difficult than primary operation, and has a higher post-operative complications rate. (Thyroid) reoperation should be avoided or decreased, so the operator should do the best at the time of the (primary) operation, and timely reoperation should be performed when necessary. Thyroid reoperation should be performed carefully to decrease complications as much as possible.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of hashimoto′s disease(HD) complicated with thyroid adenomas(TA).Methods Clinical data of 50 cases of HD complicated with TA were analysed retrospectively. Results 8 patients were diagnosed before operation ,misdiagnosis rate was 84.0%.Intra operation frozen section diagnosis rate was 81.4% (35/43).All patients were diagnosed as HD complicated with TA by pathology after operation.Various extension thyroidectomies were performed according to the patients conditions. After operation,27 cases were given small dosage of thyroxine and 2 cases were given small dosage of prednisone. All the 50 patients were followed up for 3 months to 1 year, none presented hypothyroidism.Conclusions Complete serum immunologic examinations,ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration biopsy are helpful for the diagnosis of HD with TA. HD with TA should be treated surgically,and the intraoperation frozen section for the diagnosis is important.The operation procedures,extension of excision and medication after operation should be individulization to avoid the occurrence of postoperative hypothyroidism as possible.
