ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine(3-MA) on camptothecin(CPT)-induced Hela cell apoptosis.Methods:MTT assays were carried out to determine the optimal concentration and time of CPT on Hela cells and the effect of different drugs on Hela cell proliferation activity .After Hela cells were treated with different drugs ,the changes of autophagy marker protein( microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3,LC3),p62 and apoptosis-related protein were detected using Western blot and immunofluorescence ( IF) .DAPI ( nuclear ) staining was used to observe cell apoptosis rate .Results: In CPC-treated Hela cells,Hela cell proliferation activity declined dramatically ,and autophagy could be induced to occur .Compared with CPT group ,the cell proliferation activity was lower in CPT combined with 3-MA group,the level of autophagy decreased ,but the apoptosis rate significantly increased.Conclusion:CPT can induce autophagy while inducing Hela cell death .Hela cells chemosensitivity to CPT treatment can be enhanced by 3-MA inhibiting autophagy .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the role of TSLP and NF-κB in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis.Methods:Immunohisto-chemistry was employed to detect the expression of TSLP and NF-κB p65 in the endometrial glandular cell and stromal cell of 35 adeno-myosis patients and 20 hysteromyoma patients as control , and analyze the correlation of the two proteins.The concentration of TSLP was measured by specific ELISA in the serum of healthy subjects besides of the patients with adenomyosis and hysteromyoma .Results:TSLP and NF-κB p65 were both positively expressd in the glandular cells and stromal cells of ectopic and eutopic endometrium of patients with adenomyosis , their expression was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01 ) , and the expression of TSLP and NF-κB p65 in ectopic endometrium was significantly higher than that in eutopic endometrium ( P<0.01 ).There was positive correlation between TSLP and NF-κB p65 in ectopic endometrium.The concentration of TSLP was higher in the serum of patients with adenomyosis.Conclusion:The TSLP is highly expressed in endometrial glandular and stromal cells of patients with adenomyosis , and there is higher level of TSLP in serum , and there is correlation between the expression of TSLP and NF-κB in ectopic endometrium.
ABSTRACT
0.05).Conclusion:The abnormal expression of HLA-G protein in eutopic and ectopic endometrium tissues may play a key role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis.
