RÉSUMÉ
Objective To study the effects of alternating magnetic field with different intensities on the proliferation of human squa-mous tongue cancer cells in vitro. Methods Viable cells with the OD value cell and flow cytometry were revealed through MTT assay to evaluate the proliferation and apeptosis and cell cycle respectively after the cells were exposed to electromagnetic fields of different intensity (5mT,8mT,11mT) once per day lasting 1 hour for 3 days. The sham -exposure controls were correspondingly established. Results We compared the electromagnetic field groups with the normal groups by MTT assay after 24,48,72 hours. By analyzing the data in SPSS sta-tistical software , we found that the OD value of electromagnetic field groups was significantly less than that of the control groups (P <0.01) . The rates of apoptosis cells by flow cytometry revealed that EMF groups had no change as compared with control groups. But the cell cycle displayed significant chang at 0.5rot. Conclusion The cells displayed significant changes with obvious Tca8113 cell prolifera-tion inhibition and hold - up cell cycle after being exposed to alternating magnetic field of different intensity. But human squamous tongue cancer ceils could not be induced to apeptosis.

Objective:To construct the siRNA expression vector of focal adhesion kinase(FAK) gene and inhibit the expression of FAK gene in tongue cancer cell line Tca8113 by RNA interfering technique. Methods:According to the encoding sequence of FAK mRNA, two pieces of oligonucleotide sequences were designed and synthesized. The annealed oligonucleotide fragments were subcloned into pGCSilencerTM-U6/Neo siRNA expression vector. After being identified by restriction enzyme method, the recombinant pSilencer-FAK plasmids were transfected into Tca8113 cells. The transfected cells were selected by G418 method. Immuocytochemistry and Western blotting were used to evaluate FAK gene silencing efficiency. Results:The oligonucleotide fragments were correctly inserted into pGCSilencerTM-U6/Neo vector. FAK expression of the transfected cells was significantly down-regulated by pSilencer-FAK. Conclusion:The siRNA expression vector of FAK is successfully constructed and FAK expression of Tca8113 cells can be inhibited by RNA interfering technique.

Objective:To observe the expression of estrogen receptor alpha(ER?) and beta(ER?) in human tongue cancer cell line Tca8113 and its highly metastatic cell line Tb. Metheds:Immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR methods were used to observe the expression of ERs in the in vitro cultured human tongue cancer Tca8113 and Tb cells.Results:ER? and ER? mRNA were expressed in both cell lines,and the expression of ER? in Tb cells was stronger than that in Tca8113 cells, the expression of ER? was the same in the two cell lines. The ratio of ER? to ER? was higher in Tb cells than that in Tca8113 cells.Conclusion:The overexpression of ER? and ER?/ER? ratio may be associated with the higher potential of metastasis of Tb cells.
