1.Introduction to connection between chemotherapy tolerance, metastasis and micro-environment in breast cancer
Journal of Chinese Physician 2017;19(2):161-162
This review article briefly described the interaction and inner link between chemotherapy tolerance and metastasis of breast cancer.The common pathways of occurrence of drug resistance and metastasis were analyzed with formation and outcome of breast cancer epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and with enrichment and function of breast cancer stem cells.The chemotherapy which play positive role in clinical practice was pointed out that may cause negative effects by changing tumor microenvironment.Those evidences show that the theory on tumor microenvironment will help to formulate the research strategies for preventing and reversing resistance of breast cancer to drug and metastasis.

Objective To detect the expression of HER2 and TOPOⅡ? in human breast cancer to explore the relationship between them and the potential value in the chemotherapy of breast cancer. Method 24 breast cancer tissues and paired normal tissues were investigated. RT-PCR and imumohistochemical staining were used to detect the expressions of HER2 and TOPOⅡ? at the transcription and protein level respectively. Results HER2 mRNA expressed positively in 29% (7/24) breast cancer tissues vs 4% (1/24) in paired normal tissues. The positive expression of TOPOⅡ? mRNA in breast cancer tissues and paired normal tissues were 92% (22/24) and 21%(5/24) respectively. The result of the immunohistochemical staining showed that the positive rates of HER2 and TOPOⅡ? in breast cancer tissues were 30%(6/20) and 94%(16/17) respectively, which was consistent with RT-PCR. The 6 cancer samples with HER2 positive expression coexpressed TOPOⅡ?. The expression of these two proteins was correlated(R=0.524,P

Objective To explore the effect and molecular mechanism of N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) on transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human lung cancer cells.Methods Lung cancer A549 cells were transfected with NDRG1 overexpressed vector,and then treated with 5 μg/L TGF-β1.The abilities of invasion were detected by Transwell assay.The expressions of NDRG1 mRNA and protein were analyzed by teal-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were examined with Western blot.The expressions of EMT-associated markers E-cadherin and Vimentin,and EMT-associated signaling molecules Snail,AKT and Smad were detected with Western blot.Results We found that TGF-β1 treatment could induce morphological alteration of A549 cells from epithelial morphology to mesenchymal morphology.TGF-β1 significantly increased the migration of A549 cells,and increased the expression of mesenchymal maker vimentin and decreased epithelial marker E-cadherin.More importantly,overexpression of NDRG1 significandy reversed the effects of TGF-β1 on A549 cells.Moreover,NDRG1 significandy decreased the levels of phospho-AKT,and suppressed the expression of EMT-related transcription factor Snail.Conclusions NDRG1 could reverse the effects of TGF-β1 on EMT in A549 cells,by which mechanism is related to reduction of the expressions of phospho-AKT and Snail.

To investigate the protective effect of melatonin on the kidneys of STZ-induced diabetic rats, experimental diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 50 mg/kg in male Sprague-Dawley rats (150~200g). Three days after streptozotocin injection, the diabetic rats were assigned to one of the following groups: (1) DM, untreated; (2) DM+Mel 1, melatonin supplement at 0.2mg?kg -1?d -1, by gavage; (3) DM+Mel 2, melatonin supplement at 5mg?kg -1?d -1, by gavage. The treatment continued for 8 weeks. Periodically, body weight, blood glucose, plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels were measured as clinical and biochemical parameters; plasma creatinine, creatinine clearance( Ccr), urinary protein excretion were detected as renal function indexes; kidney weight, glomerular area, PAS positive area, and cell counts were evaluated as histological damage indexes. Melatonin treatment had no significant effects on blood glucose and plasma cholesteral, but lowered plasma triglyceride level in diabetic rats. Melatonin treatment reduced urinary protein excretion. Until the end of the experiment, there were no significant changes in plasma creatinine level, Ccr in diabetic rats. Melatonin treatment decreased kidney weight/body weight ratio, reduced PAS positive area, glomerular cellular number and glomerular area which were increased in DM rats. The protective effects of melatonin were more obviose in high dosage groups. Melatonin treatment can aggravate glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial cell proliferation, delay the progression of glomerulosclerosis, and improve renal function of diabetic rats.
