Résumé
Objective To prepared cleavable PEG modified paclitaxel loaded liposome (CLP-PTX) and to study its capability for tumor targeting.Methods Liposome was prepared by film-ultrasonic method.Cellular uptake by HepG2 cells was explored.The anti-proliferation efficiency of CLP-PTX was evaluated by MTF assay.HepG2 cells were xenografted in athymic nude mice to establish the animal models,which were used to evaluate the anti-cancer effect.Results The mean size of CLP-PTX was (95±9.5) nm with the Zeta potential of (-3±1.05) mV,and the entrapment efficiency of PTX was 85.6%.The cellular uptake of liposomes with addition of cysteine (Cys)was 2.8 times as high as that in the absence of Cys,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Fluorescent microscopy qualitative observation demonstrated that the cells showed higher fluorescence intensity in the presence of Cys.The MTT assay showed the anti-proliferative activity against HepG2 cells of CLP-PTX depended on the paclitaxel concentration,and the inhibition ratio of CLP-PTX with addition of Cys was 1.6 times as high as that in the absence of Cys (P<0.01),which was consistent with the cellular uptake results.Conclusions Comparing with paclitaxel,CLP-PTX inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells more persistently.Thus,CLP-PTX,as a new nanometer drug,has a special application value for tumor therapy.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of gastrin on the bcl-2-associated apoptotic pathways in cholangiocarcinoma.MethodsTUNEL technique and quantitative RT-PCR were used to examine the effects of gastrin-17(G-17) on the beauvericin-induced apoptotic index (AI) and expressions of bcl-2 and bax mRNAs. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) technology was conducted to investigate the role of bcl-2 in the gastrin-mediated inhibition of apoptosis in human cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939. ResultsThe AI and bcl-2 mRNA expression significantly decreased and increased respectively in the cells exposed to gastrin-17 compared with those of control cells (P
