Aim To explore the relationship between IL-8 and ELMO1 in breast carcinoma and the mecha-nisms of IL-8 induced invasion and metastasis. Meth-ods Under the IL-8 stimulation, chemotaxis assay was examined to detect the chemotaxis ability of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 . ELMO1 protein levels in breast cancer cell lines were detected using Western blot. MDA-MB-231 cells were transfect-ed with small RNA interference plasmids in order to downregulate ELMO1 expression, and overexpression plasmids were used to upregulate the expression of EL-MO1 in MCF-7 cells. Matrigel invasion assay and chemotaxis assay were used to detect the in vitro inva-sion and chemotaxis ability of breast cancer cells with IL-8 stimulation. Results IL-8 induced chemotaxis of the different breast cancer cell lines in a dose-depend-ent manner. After transient transfection, Western blot results showed that ELMO 1 protein levels observably decreased in SiELMO1/MDA-MB-231 cells compared with Scr/MDA-MB-231 cells, while the expression of ELMO1 protein levels significantly increased in MCF-7/ELMO1 cells compared with the MCF-7/Con cells;with IL-8 stimulation, SiELMO1/MDA-MB-231 cells showed significantly decreased chemotaxis ability com-pared with Scr/MDA-MB-231 cells. MCF-7/ELMO1 cells showed significantly increased chemotaxis ability compared with MCF-7/Con cells; the invasion assay showed under the stimulation of IL-8 , and the invasion ability was significantly reduced in SiELMO1/MDA-MB-231 cells compared with Scr/MDA-MB-231 cells ( P<0. 05 ) . The invasion ability was significantly en-hanced in MCF-7/ELMO1 cells compared with MCF-7 cells( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion IL-8 promotes the in-vasion and migration of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 , and ELMO1 plays an important role in IL-8 induced chemotaxis and invasion.

Background and purpose:More and more evidence has showed that Grb2 binding protein-2 (Gab2) is associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the relationship between Gab2 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer is not clear. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Gab2 on EMT markers and the mechanism of Gab2 on breast cancer invasion and metastasis.Methods:Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expressions of Gab2, E-cadherin and vimentin in 80 cases of breast cancer tissues, and the correlations between them were analyzed. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Gab2 in breast tissues. After MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with siRNA plasmid, wound healing assay was used to detect the invasive ability of transfected cells induced by epithelial growth factor (EGF) in vitro. Then Western blot was used to analyze the protein expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin, phosphorylated GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) and nuclear Snail.Results:Gab2 was negatively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin and positively correlated with the expression of vimentin in breast cancer tissues (P<0.05). The expression of Gab2 in breast cancer tissues was higher than that in normal breast tissues adjacent to breast cancer. In vitro, Gab2 expression was significantly knocked down in MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with Gab2 siRNA plasmid (SiGab2/MDA-MB-231cells). Meanwhile, the invasive ability of SiGab2/MDA-MB-231cells was decreased with EGF stimulation. The expression of E-cadherin was increased in SiGab2/MDA-MB-231cells. However, the expressions of vimentin, p-GSK-3β and nuclear Snail were decreased in SiGab2/MDA-MB-231cells.Conclusion:Gab2 can promote the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer by EMT through GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the molecular mecha-nism of Gab2 in the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer and provide a theoretical basis for clinical pre-vention of breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Methods The Gab2 , MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions in 80 cases of breast cancer were detected by immuno-histochemistry . Western blot was used to detect the ex-pression of Gab2 protein in MDA-MB-231 cells and MCF-7 cells. The siRNA plasmid was used to transfect MDA-MB-231 cells. Western blot was used to detect the proteins expression of Gab2 , MMP-2 and MMP-9 . Transwell in vitro experiment was used to detect the in-vasion ability of each group transfected MDA-MB-231 cells, Western blot was used to analyze phosphorylation of Akt and ARK5 induced by epithelial growth factor ( EGF ) in transfected cells ( SiGab2/MDA-MB-231 and Scr/MDA-MB-231 ) . Results The expression of Gab2 protein in invasive ductal carcinoma was signifi-cantly higher than in normal breast tissue ( P<0. 01 ) . The expression of Gab2 was dramatically correlated with lymph node metastasis, ER expression, tumor his-tological grade, MMP-2 and MMP-9 (P<0. 05). The expression of Gab2 protein in MDA-MB-231 cells was higher than in MCF-7 cells. The expression of Gab2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased in SiGab2/MDA-MB-231 cells and the invasion ability of SiGab2/MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly decreased ( P<0. 05 ) , and after 5 minutes’ stimulating by EGF, the phosphoryla-tion of Akt and ARK5 was significantly reduced. Con-clusion Gab2 can promote the invasion and metasta-sis of breast cancer by effecting the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 through PI3 K/ Akt /ARK5 signal path-way.

Purpose To investigate the expressions of PKCζ, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in breast cancer and the relationship with the inva-sion and metastasis of breast cancer. Methods The expression of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 100 cases with breast cancer was as-sessed with immunohistochemistry PV 9000 method. PKCζ-siRNA was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cell lines, called siPKCζ/MDA-MB-231. While siRNA construct containing a scrambled sequence was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells to generate control cells, which were designated as Scr/MDA231 cells. Western blotting was used to measure the expression of PKCζ in transfected cells, and the Transwell invasion assay was used to detect the invasion ability in vitro. The content of MMP-2, MMP-9 were measured by ELISA. Results The expression rates of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in breast cancer tissues were 62.5%, 37.5% and 32.5%, and there were significant differences among them (P<0.05). The expression of PKCζwas much higher than those in the normal breast tissues nearby. The expression of PKC protein was assoiated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis (P<0.01), but was not correla-ted with other clinicopathologic parameters, such as age, tumor size, histological type, ER, PR, and so on (P>0.05). The expres-sion of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were lower in siPKCζ/ MDA-MB-231 group than those in scr/ MDA-MB-231 group, and the in vitro invasion ability was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions PKCζ can promote the invasion and metastasis of breast canc-er, and correlated with the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9(P<0.05).

Background and purpose:Numerous researches indicated that the expression of pituitary tumor transforming gene1 (PTTG1) was correlated with the severity of glioma tumors. However the specific mechanism of PTTG1 is not clear in glioma. In this study, we explored the role and significance of PTTG1 in the invasion of glioma cells. Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expression of PTTG1 protein in various glioma cell lines. siRNA plasmid was used to transfect U87 cells. Western blot was used to analyze the expression of PTTG1 protein in transfected U87 cells. Matrigel invasion assay was used to detect the invasive ability in the cells being transfected in vitro. Western blot was used to analyze epithelial growth factor (EGF) induced protein phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt in the cells being transfected PTTG1 plasmid (siPTTG1/U87) and scrambled siRNA (Scr/U87). Results:The expression of PTTG1 protein was higher in all glioma cell lines. After transfection, the invasion of siPTTG1/U87 was obviously decreased after 5 min with EGF stimulation than the Scr/U87, the phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt was significantly enhanced. However, whether or not the existence of EGF, the phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt had no differences in siPTTG1/U87. Conclusion:In glioma cells, PTTG1 protein is high expressed and maybe have an important function in glioma cells invasion through Akt-ARK5 signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the effect of health education based on theory of planned behavior combined with stepped care model on negative emotion, psychological flexibility and quality of life in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:From October 2020 to December 2021, 108 chemotherapy patients who underwent lung cancer surgery in Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical College and had anxiety or depression that scores was greater than 7 in any dimension of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were selected as the study subjects. The study subjects were divided into observation group ( n=46) and control group ( n=48) by random digits table method. Routine care was implemented in the control group. The observation group implemented health education based on the theory of planned behavior combined with stepped care model intervention. The HADS scale was used every 4 weeks to assess negative emotion in both groups. In observation, patients with negative emotion relief stop the next stage of nursing intervention, and patients without relief continue the next stage of higher intensity nursing intervention. Results:Before the intervention, there were no significant difference in the scores of negative emotion, psychological flexibility and quality of life between the two groups ( P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of all dimensions of negative emotion and the total score in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the differences had statistical significance ( t=4.86, 3.19 and 4.53, all P<0.05). After the intervention the scores of psychological flexibility and quality of life dimensions and the total score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, the differences had statistical significance (t values were -6.01--2.89, all P<0.05). After the intervention, there was no significant difference in the remission rate of negative emotions between the clinical observation stage of the observation group and the concurrent control group ( P>0.05). The remission rates of guided self-help, problem-solving therapy, psychological or drug therapy and total negative emotions in the observation group were 38.46%(15/39), 33.33%(8/24), 6/16 and 78.26%(36/46), respectively, which were higher than those in the control group, and the differences had statistical significance ( χ2 values were 7.04 - 13.80, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Health education based on the theory of planned behavior combined with stepped care model can effectively alleviate the negative emotions of lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and improve psychological flexibility and quality of life.
