Study on Effects and Mechanism of Rapamycin on Invasion and Metastasis of Cervical Cancer HeLa Cells / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects and mechanism of rapamycin on invasion and metastasis of cervical cancer HeLa cell. METHODS:HeLa cells were divided into control group and rapamycin low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (10, 30,100 nmol/L). After treated for 48 h,cell viability was measured by MTT assay,and inhibitory rate was calculated;migration and invasion of cell was tested by Transwell assay. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2),MMP-9,Vimentin and E-cadherin,and phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt),mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were detected by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with control group,the inhibition rate of cell viability was increased in rapamycin groups(P<0.01);the number of invasion and metastasis cells decreased(P<0.01);the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 and Vimentin were decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05);the expression of E-cadherin was enhanced(P<0.01 or P<0.05);the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR were reduced (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Rapamycin could inhibit invasion and metastasis of HeLa cell via Akt/mTOR signal pathway.

Effect of folic acid combined with xin funing on CRP,HGF, IL-2,TNF-α of patients with cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus / 中国生化药物杂志

Objective To investigate effect of folic acid combined with xin funing on CRP, HGF, IL-2,TNF-αof patients with cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus.Methods 80 cases of cervical cancer patients were randomly divided into control group, 40 cases in the control group were given conventional chemotherapy, 40 cases in the experimental group were on the base of the control with folic acid combined with xin funing.CRP, HGF, TNF-α, IL-2 and T lymphocyte subsets were compared before and after the treatment.Results Compared with the control group, the serum CRP, HGF and TNF-αof the experiment group were lower(P<0.05), IL-2 levels was higher (P<0.05), CD4 +and CD4 +/CD8 +level were higher(P<0.05), level of CD8 +was lower(P<0.05) and the clinical effective rate were higher(P<0.05).Conclusion Folic acid combined with Xin Funing has important significance for the treatment of patients with cervical cancer.It is speculated that the mechanism may be to reduce the level of serum CRP and HGF in patients with cervical cancer, and to increase the level of IL-2, and to regulate immune cells.
