Methods: Immunohistochemical method (EliVision) was used to detect the expression of AQP1 in samples from 106 patients [20 with normal cervical tissue, 30 with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ) and 56 with CSC]. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: AQP1 protein was expressed in vascular endothelia of all samples. It showed upregulation of AQP1 expression in CSC. There was a significant difference between CSC and normal cervical tissues (P〈0.05). AQP1 was expressed in some tumor cells and unexpressed in normal squamous epithelial cells. And APQl-expressing tumor cells were positively related to lymph node metastasis. Patients with APQl-expressing tumor cells had the lower survival rate than the ones without. Conclusion: Abnormal expression of AQP1 plays an important role in the development of CSC. Positive expression of AQP1 in tumor cells maybe enhances tumor metastasis and could be used as a marker for tumor prognosis.展开更多

Methods: C57BL/6 mice were immunized on the dorsal flank by s.c. inoculation of Lysate-DC, ova-DC, and non-DC on day -7. On day 0, 2× 10^6cells of RM-1 tumor cells (H-2b) were injected s.c. in C57BL/6 mice pre-treated by s.c. inoculation of modified DCs, correspondingly. DTH assay was performed with modified DCs. In partial test, for the determination of which immune cells were required for antitumor activity, mice were immunodepleted of CD4, CDS, or natural killer (NK) NK1.1 cells with the corresponding monoclonal antibodies. The survival time of nude mice loaded with tumor cells was calculated and the size of tumor measured. Results: In RM-1 mice prostate cancer model, immunized with lysate-DC, compared with ova-DC and non-DC, the pre-infection vaccine resulted in 100% clearance of primary tumors, whereas on day 0 of injection vaccine cleared 40-60% of primary tumors. On day 0, C57BL/6 mice (H-2b) were immunized with Lysate-DC, compared with ova-DC and non-DC by caudal vein injection, then on day 15, RM-1 cells were inoculated. On day 30, average diameters of tumor in different groups of modified DC were 23.7±5.4 mm, 22.1±4.9 mm, 4.3±2.6 mm, respectively. Lysate-DC, compared with ova-DC and non-DC, can greatly depressed RM-1 tumor cell growth (P〈0.01). The mean survival time of C57BL/6 mice in Lysate-DC, ova-DC and non-DC groups were 15.8±2.6, 16.6±3.2, 39.0±5.6, respectively, and there was a significant difference in the mean survival time in lysate-DC group between ova-DC and non-DC group (P〈0.01). DTH test showed that lysate-DC could prime T lymphocyte and elicit tumor antigen specific immune response, and over 80% mice in groups of lysate-DC showed obvious swelling in their foot pad. This response was strengthened with repeating inoculation, whereas DTH response was not seen in control group. In vivo depletion of NK cells resulted in a 40-60% reduction in growth suppression within the primary tumor, and depletion of CD4^+ cells resulted in a 20% reduction in growth suppression. Conclusion: The minor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells vaccine could elicit antitumor activity in RM-1 loaded C57BL/6 mice, and prolong the duration of RM-1 loaded C57BL/6 mice. So DC-based immunotherapy with hormone-refractory prostate carcinoma yielded protective immunity, generated efficient cellular antitumor responses, thereby providing further preclinical support for feasible immunotherapy approaches for prostate cancer.展开更多

This study was performed to determine whether tumor necrosis factor-alpha was involved in the regulation of this biological process. Methods: RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry were used to investigate the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha mRNA and heat shock factor-1 protein, respectively, in glioma cells. Radioimmunoassay was used to dynamically monitor contents of TNF-α in nutrient fluid for C6 cells after hyperthermia treatment. Crystal violet staining method was used to detect glioma invasiveness. Results: The most obvious increase of heat shock factor-1 protein and tumor necrosis factor -alpha mRNA in C6 cells were observed at 30 min and 60 min after hyperthermia, respectively. In addition, the radioactivity of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in C6 cells' culture fluid also reached peak at 120 min of hyperthermia. The glioma invasiveness decreases and the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha reached the maximum at 120 min of hyperthermia. Conclusion: Our results showed that the hyperthermia-mediated glioma invasiveness decreases was due to accelerated release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha,which could cause the decreases of glioma invasiveness by promoting the release heat shock factor-1 from neurospongioma cells .展开更多
