ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of Guiqi polysaccharide (GQP) on the telomerase activity in premature senescence of WI-38 cells;To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods MTT assay was used to observe the effects of different concentrations of H2O2 on the proliferation of WI-38 cells and screened the best concentration of H2O2 to induce premature senescence cellular model in WI-38 cells. ELISA and chemical staining method were used to evaluate the protection of GQP in telomerase activity and senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity in premature cellular senescence.Results 200μmol/L H2O2 treatment could induce premature senescence in WI-38 cells. There were no significant differences in senescence-associated β-galactosidase and telomerase activity between GQP group and normal control group (P>0.05), but had significant difference with model group (P<0.01).Conclusion GQP can increase the telomerase activity and inhibit the senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity in premature senescence of WI-38 cells.
ABSTRACT
The biological activities i. e. antineoplastic activities and antiviral activity of the two novel kinds of interferons: hIFN-λ1 and hIFN-ε were studied and compared. First the fusion expression vector: pcDNA3.1A-hIFN-λ1-His and pcDNA3.1A-hIFN-ε-His by PCR was constructed, then the two kinds of plasmids were transfected into WI-38 (human embryonic lung cells ) with liposome. And cytopathic effect (CPE) suppression test was used to study and compare the antiviral activities of rhIFNλ1-His and rhIFN-ε-His, meanwhile MTT assay was used to detect their antineoplastic activities. It was found that, antiproliferative activity and MxA protein induction shown by rhIFN-λ1-His is more powerful than of rhIFN-ε -His. The antiviral molecular mechanisms of both hIFN-λ1 and hIFN-ε are related to MxA. The foundation for further study on the bioactivities and mechanism of action of hIFN-λ1 and hIFN-ε was established.

ABSTRACT
The biological!activities i.e. antineoplastic activities and antiviral activity of the two novel kinds of interferons: hIFN-?1 and hIFN-? were studied and compared. First the fusion expression vector: pcDNA3.1A-hIFN-?1-His and pcDNA3.1A-hIFN-?-His by PCR was constructed,then the two kinds of plasmids were transfected into WI-38 (human embryonic lung cells) with liposome. And cytopathic effect (CPE) suppression test was used to study and compare the antiviral activities of rhIFN-?1-His and rhIFN-?-His, meanwhile MTT assay was used to detect their antineoplastic activities.It was found that, antiproliferative activity and MxA protein induction shown by rhIFN-?1-His is more powerful than of rhIFN-?-His. The antiviral molecular mechanisms of both hIFN-?1 and hIFN-? are related to MxA.The foundation for further study on the bioactivities and mechanism of action of hIFN-?1 and hIFN-? was established.
