ABSTRACT
Objective In this experiment,we explored the effects of rAAV\|hGDNF on protecting spinal neurons From death. Methods rAAV\|hGDNF particals were produced by recombinant virus technolgy,and infected the culture spinal neurons which were exposed to glutamate.We counted the mortality rate and detected the expression of NOS mRNA by RT\|PCR. Results In the group transfering rAAV\|hGDNF the death rate was inhibited(50%?0^02,control 59^25%?0^023, P
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and the mechanism of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase Ⅰ type (HSV 1\|tk) and Ganciclovir(GCV) in animal model of human glioma. Methods We demonstrated that tk gene was stably integrated into the genome of retrovirus vector producing cell line pN 2A\|tk/VPC(VPC) by Southern blot hybridization; then we established the nude mice model of glioma by inoculating the VPC and the human glioma cells DBTRG\|05MG(05MG) at 1∶1,1∶4 ratios respectively(only inoculated 05MG cells as control group), then GCV treatment was administrated i.p.,30mg/(kg\5d), twice daily for 14 days. A week later, the nude mice were sacrificed and the pathological sections of tumor tissues were observed by light microscopy. Results The tumor mass of 1∶1 group decreased remarkably compared with 1∶4 group or control group respectively ( P
ABSTRACT
The wild type cells of human stomach glandular carcinoma, cell line BGC 823, were treated firstly by a chemical carcinogen (MNNG) for the induction of mutagenesis, then the cells were selected in medium with gradually increasing amount of 8-AG (8-azaguanine) from 1-20?g/ml. It was found that the mutant cells could grow vigorously in the medium containing 20?g/ml of 8-AG but not in HAT medium. The HGPRT assay showed an obvious quantitative difference between the wild type and HGPRT mutant cells of BGC 823.
ABSTRACT
The establishment of a serum-free culture medium (SFM) for SSV-NIH3T3 cells is reported in this paper. In this medium DMEM/Ham's F12 is the fundamental element in basal medium, insulin and undefatty bovine serum albumin are key elements among the supplements. In this SFM SSV-NIH3T3 cells grow well, they keep the ability of secreting platelet-derived growth factor-like material into culture medium and causing tumor growth in nude mice.
