IL-24 (Interleukin-24), formerly known as melanoma differentiation associated antigen 7 (melanoma differentiat ion-associated antigen, MDA-7). And it is mainly secreted by CD3+ T lymphocytes and monocytes express, as a secreted protein. IL-24 is the members of IL-10 family. Current study Shows that, IL-24 is not only inhibit the growth of a tumor cell, but also hinder the formation of blood vessels, at the same time, and almost no effect on normal cells.What’s more,IL-24 also can enhence the tumor cells’ sensitivity to radio and the characteristics. A large number of experiments have shown, IL-24 gene can effectively inhibit the growth of tumor cells, such as stomach cancer, liver cancer, but the research on skin squamous cell carcinoma has not been reported.CSCC (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma) is the most common form of skin cancer, which accounts for non-melanocytic skin tumors of 20%, rather than the no-melanin skin cancer accounts for all skin tumors’ 96%. In addition to using sunscreen as the prevention and surgical resection of the tumor lesions, gene therapy may become a important measures and ways for the treatment of skin cancer. This topic has been successfully constructed utilizing adenovirus-mediated vector --Ad-IL-24, make IL-24 gene expression, skin squamous cell COLO-16, and SCL-1 cell for the purpose cells, IL-24 on whether it has the growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis, thereby discuss IL-24 effects on the skin squamous cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma pathogenesis of skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin gene therapy provide laboratory evidence.The experiment is divided into four parts.Part 1 Establish IL-24 overexpression of skin squamous cell modelObjective Establish IL-24 overexpression of skin squamous cell modelMethods Using an adenovirus vector-mediated (Ad-IL-24) infection of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and assay IL-24 gene expression in squamous cell carcinoma cell line COLO-16 cells, and SCL-1 Cells by QPCR.1.

This study were infected skin squamous cell line COLO-16ã€and SCL-1 cells with adenovirus, and the IL-24 were over expressed. To provide a model for the the experiment.2. IL-24 inhibits the proliferation of COLO-16 cells, and start from day 4, the inhibition is time-dependent. Similarly, SCL-1 cells can also be significantly inhibited from day 4.3. IL-24 can induce the apoptosis of COLO-16 cells and SCL-1 cells. And the COLO-16 cells’ late apoptosis was more pronounced by IL-24.4. The reaction mechanisms of IL-24 induce apoptosis of COLO-16 cells and SCL-1 cells, may be related with increase the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and activate the ceaspase-3. |
