Progress of diagnosis and treatment for gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms / 肿瘤研究与临床

Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasm (GI-NEN) is an important part of digestive system tumor. With the progress of diagnosis and the further understanding of GI-NEN, the diagnostic rate is increasing. However, GI-NEN is a rare tumor, thus clinicians are not familiar with the diagnosis and treatment. Misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of GI-NEN often occur, and the treatment regimen is not standardized. In recent years, some progresses of the diagnosis and treatment have been made in GI-NEN, especially in the aspects of pathology, imaging diagnosis, radionuclide therapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which have improved the diagnosis rate and efficacy for GI-NEN. This paper reviews recent literatures of GI-NEN, summarizes its epidemiology, pathological diagnosis, image diagnosis, surgery, targeted therapy, radionuclide therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and separates GI-NEN into metastatic and non-metastatic groups for detailed review to provide a reference for guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as exploring the new treatment regimens of GI-NEN.

Construction of lentiviral vector of peroxiredoxin 2 gene mediating RNAi and its effects on the proliferation of SW480 cell / 重庆医学

Objective To construct a lentiviral expression vector of peroxiredoxin2(PRDX2) RNA interference (RNAi) and to investigate the effect of siRNA of PRDX2 genes on the proliferation of human colonrectal cancer SW480 cell .Methods RNAi tar‐get sequences were designed and synthesized towards the PRDX2 gene sequences .The lentiviral vector pGC‐EGFP‐shPRDX2 was constructed and identified .The vector was transformed into SW480 cells ,and the transfection efficiency was evaluated by fluores‐cence microscopy .The expression of PRDX2 was detected with Quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR) and Western blot in the transfected cells .Cell growth and colony forming ability were detected with MTT and plate cloning technique .Results PRDX2 gene lentiviral vector was successfully established and was proved by gene sequencing .The expression of PRDX2 in mRNA and pro‐tein was significantly reduced(P<0 .05) .The PRDX2 mRNA and protein expression in SW480 transfected with lentiviral were sig‐nificantly reduced (P< 0 .05) ,and the ability of growth and proliferation were significantly reduced(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion PRDX2 gene lentiviral vector could be a stable and reliable tool .The proliferation and growth of SW480 cells transfected by pGC‐EGFP‐shPRDX2 could be effectively suppressed ,which could facilitate further investigation of the roles of PRDX2 gene in the de‐velopment and progression of colorectal cancer .

Construction of Peroxiredoxin 2 gene lentiviral expression vector and effect on colorectal cancer SW480 cells / 中国免疫学杂志

To construct the lentiviral vector containing Peroxiredoxin 2(Prdx2) gene and the colorectal cancer cell line stably transduced with Prdx 2-containing vector , so as to provide a useful tool for studying the role of Prdx 2 in colorectal cancer.Methods: Prdx2 was amplified by PCR and inserted into lentiviral expression vector Ubi-MCS-EGFP-IRES-Puromycin (GV218) to generate Ubi-Prdx2-EGFP-Puromycin(LV-Prdx2) vector.The inserted Prdx2 gene was verified by double enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing.Subsequently ,lentiviruses were produced and transduced into SW 480 cells.EGFP expression was examined under fluorescence microscopy ,the expression of Prdx2 was detected with qRT-PCR and Western blot.Cell growth and colony forming ability were detected with MTT and plate cloning technique.Results: The lentiviral Prdx2 expression vector was successful construc-ted.Overexpression of Prdx2 was verified in SW480 cells with LV-Prdx2 vector.Prdx2 promoted SW480 cell growth and colony forming ability(P<0.05).Conclusion:Ubi-Prdx2-EGFP-Puromycin(LV-Prdx2) vector is successfully constructed,and the SW480/LV-Prdx2 cell line with stable transduction of Prdx2 containing vector is established.Overexpression Prdx2 can significantly promote the proliferation of colorectal cancer SW 480 cells.
