Objective: To investigate the effects of different X-ray doses on the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) P65 in human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell (OSCC) line and the relationship between NF-kappaB P65 and radiation-induced OSCC cell line apoptosis.

Methods: The squamous cell carcinoma of Tca8113 cell was cultivated in the 37 degrees C, 5% CO2 incubator after recovery. The experiment samples were divided into six groups (control group, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Gy).

Purpose: To detect the expression of p65, a subunit of NF-κB proteins, and apoptosis after adenoid cystic carcinoma cells(ACC-2) irradiated by high energy X-ray, and to investigate the interaction between them.

Methods: ACC-2 cells were cultured and then irradiated by high energy X-ray of different dose(2, 4, 6, 8,10Gy). At the next six time points(1, 3, 6, 10, 24, 48h), the expression of p65 protein in cytoplasm and nucleus was detected by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting.

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a significant cause of heart failure. Current therapies are limited and, therefore, the development of novel revascularization methods is potentially important. We investigated whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), expressed by genetically modified mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), exhibited a synergistic therapeutic benefit, as measured 8 weeks after MI induction in a rat model.

Objective: To examine the relationship between NF-kappaB signal transduction way and the sensitivity of Tca8113 carcinoma cell to Pingyangmycin chemotherapy.

Methods: 2 mg/L antisense p65 oligodeoxynucle-otides (5'-GAACAGTTCGTCCATGGCCG-3') was transfected into Tca8113 cells through Lepofectin vectin, then the cells were treated with 8 mg/L Pingyangmycin. After 3 h and 6 h, the expression of p65 in nucleus was studied with immunohistochemical methods and Western blot analyses.

Objective: To examine the correlation between p65 expression and the metastasis and prognosis in tongue carcinoma.

Methods: The immunohistochemical expression of p65 was examined in 50 cases of tongue carcinoma, and the clinical and histopathologic records were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Overexpression of p65 in cytoplasma and nucleus was found in 64% cases of tongue carcinoma.
