Influence of Moxibustion Serum on the Expression of Fas bcl-2 mRNA and Protein of EL-4 Lymphoma Cells / 针灸推拿医学（英文版）

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the influence of moxibustion sertma of mice on the expression of Fas, bcl-2 mRNA and protein of EL-4 lymphoma cells in vitro. Method: The EL-4 lymphoma cells were cultivated for 24 h in the moxibustion serum of mice. The expression of Fas and bcl-2 mRNA of EL-4 lymphoma cells were detected by in-situ hybridization method, and the protein expression of Fas and bcl-2 were observed by the immuocytochemistry method. Results: The expression of bcl-2 mRNA and protein decreased, and the expression of Fas rnRNA and protein increased significantly in EL-4 cells, which were cultivated in the moxibustion serum compared those cultivated in normal mice serum (P<0.05). Conclusion: Moxibustion serum could down-regulate the bcl-2 mRNA and protein and up-regulate the Fas mRNA and protein of EL-4 cells.
