Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of knocking down long chain non-coding RNA MALAT-1 gene on the biologicalbehaviors of human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma Hep-2 cells.
Methods: With immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial(NPE) cell line NP-69 as the reference, MALAT1 expression in FaDu, Hep-2 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells weredetected using real-time PCR. Hep-2 cells were transfected with shmalat1 lentivirus and the expression of MALAT1 wasdetected. MTT assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assay and M Atrigel invasiveness test were used to evaluate the effect ofMALAT-1 knockdown on the proliferation, cell cycle, cell apoptosis, migration, and invasiveness of Hep-2 cells.
Results: Compared with NP-69 cells, Hep-2 cells, FaDu cells, and CNE-2Z cells all showed significantly increased MALAT-1expression. In Hep-2 cells, knockdown of MALAT-1 significantly inhibited the cell proliferation, increased the cell percentagein S phase ( < 0.01), decreased the cell percentage in G2/M phase ( < 0.01), and attenuated the migration and invasiveness of thecells.
Conclusions: MALAT-1 is over-expressed in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and knocking down MALAT-1 gene cansignificantly suppress the proliferation, invasion and migration and promotes apoptosis of the cancer cells.

The increasing global use of pesticides in crop pest control has raised concerns about toxic interactions. This study investigates the interaction between glyphosate and cypermethrin formulations concerning cell death and genotoxicity. Three models were applied to assess whether the combined effects were additive, antagonistic, or synergistic: "Linear Interaction Effect", "Combination Subthresholding," and "Cooperative Effect".

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance and the limited availability of antiviral therapeutics for pathogens such as human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) underscore the need for novel, plant-derived antimicrobial substances. In this study, we evaluated the antiproliferative, antibacterial, and antiviral activities of aqueous leaf extracts from two plants commonly found in North America, Osage orange () and spearmint (). Both extracts exhibited no significant cytotoxic or morphologic impact on HEp-2 human cancer cells up to 25 mg/mL.

Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) to detect and quantify RSV IgG antibodies and RSV IgA antibodies in human plasma or sera are described. The first IgG EIA described uses RSV lysate antigens produced in the HEp-2 cell line to detect and quantify RSV IgG antibodies. The second IgG EIA uses the RSV F ectodomain secreted into the serum-free media of the 293-F expressing cell line for detecting antibodies against the RSV F protein.
