Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of exemestane combined with chemotherapy on the expressions of matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9) and E-cadherin in breast cancer mice.Methods The SPF BALB/c female mice were selected,25 mice with breast cancer model were successfully established and randomly divided them into 3 groups:endocrine group with 8 mice and was given 25 mg of exemestane tablets by gavage once a day;chemotherapy group with 8 mice and was given a range of TP chemotherapy (paclitaxel,135 mg · m-2 and cisplatinum 20 mg · m-2);combined group with 9 mice and was given 25 mg of exemestane tablets by gavage once a day and a range of TP chemotherapy.The normal group contained 6 normal healthy mice and was given the same feeding without drugs.After feeding for 3 weeks,all mice were killed.The expression levels of MMP-9 and E-cadherin in mice right axillary subcutaneous tissue of the four groups were investigated by fluorescence quantitative PCR,immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results The expression levels of MMP-9 protein in mice:Compared with normal group 0.01 ± 0.00,endocrine group,chemotherapy group,combined group were 0.75 ± 0.37,0.71 ± 0.25,0.33± 0.01 with increased significantly (all P ＜ 0.05);compared with combined group,endocrine group and chemotherapy group increased significantly (all P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of E-cadherin protein in mice:Compared with normal group 0.64 ±0.28,endocrine group,chemotherapy group,combined group were 0.17 ± 0.08,0.20 ± 0.17,0.44 ± 0.28 with decreased significantly(all P ＜ 0.05);compared with combined group,endocrine group decreased significantly(all P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of MMP-9 mRNA (MMP-9/β-actin) in mice:Compared with normal group 0.48 ± 0.04,endocrine group,chemotherapy group,combined group were 10.80 ± 0.04,10.54 ± 0.13,3.48 ± 0.04 with increased significantly (all P ＜0.05);compared with combined group,endocrine group decreased significantly(all P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of E-cadherin mRNA (E-cadherin/β-actin) in mice:Compared with normal group 13.36 ± 0.06,endocrine group,chemotherapy group,combined group were 5.13 ±0.04,5.25 ±0.02,11.36-±0.06 with decreased significantly (all P ＜0.05);compared with combined group,endocrine group decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion There are close relationships between the expression levels of MMP-9 and E-cadherin and breast cancer,and the combination of exemestane and chemotherapy could significantly improve the expression levels of MMP-9 and E-cadherin.
