Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
Objective To explore the mechanism of the reversal of breast cancer resistant protein-mediated multidrug resistance by 17?-estradiol. Methods Two BCRP expressing cell lines of MCF-7/MX20 and MCF-7/BCRP were established in which breast canrcer resistant protein(BCRP) was promoted by BCRP promoter and cytomegalovirus(CMV) promoter respectively.These drug resistant cell lines were cultured in medium containing 17?-estradiol.Fourty-eight hours later,cytotoxicity assay,mitoxantrone efflux assays,quantitative RT-PCR were performed to observe the reversal function of BCRP by 17?-estradiol on MCF-7/MX20 and MCF-7/BCRP respectively. Results After being treated with 17?-estradiol,the intensity of mitoxantrone in MCF-7/BCRP was weaker than that in MCF-7/MX20 and the BCRP mRNA level in MCF-7/BCRP was high than that in MCF-7/MX20.The results of these experiments revealed that 17?-estradiol could reverse the BCRP mediated multidrug resistance(MDR) in MCF-7/MX20 cells but not in MCF-7/BCRP ones.Conclusion 17?-estradiol may reverse the phenotype of BCRP through regulation of the promoter of BCRP gene but not acted as the substrate of BCRP.

Objective To study whether transient overexpression of tumor suppressor gene PTEN could lead to growth suppression and up-regulate the sensitivity to doxorubicin of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-C 1-PTEN containing whole cDNA of PTEN was constructed and transfected into MCF-7 cells by Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro. Growth inhibition of the cells was observed by phase contrast microscope and flow cytometry. The clonogenic cell survival ability was studied by clony forming assay. MCF-7 cells′ chemosensitivity to adriamycin was studied with MTT assay. Results PTEN overexpression led to morphological changes characteristic of apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. PTEN overexpression also resulted in a significant increase in G 0/G 1 cell population (14.79%) and apoptosis (10.60%) detected by flow cytometry. The clonogenic survival rate of cells transfected with PTEN was significantly decreased after doxorubicin treatment compared with control. The transfected cells were more sensitive to doxorubicin compared with the control cells ( ? 2=8.59 , P

Objective To construct the plasmid containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) of GCS in order to suppress the expression of GCS and to reverse the multidrug resistance in drug-resistant breast cancer cells. Methods Two reverse repeated motifs of sequence targeting GCS with 6 bp spacer were designed and synthesized in vitro,then they were inserted into the plasmid pSUPER. The recombinant plasmids were transfected into human breast cancer cells. GCS expression was detected by Western blot and immunocytochemistry. caspase-3 expression and its activity were assessed using Western blot and colorimetry,flow cytometry was performed to analyze the ratio of apoptosis. Results MTT method was used to evaluate the 50% inhibition concentration. Enzyme digestion analysis and DNA sequencing confirmed that the recombinant plasmids were successfully constructed. GCS protein content decreased 80%,82% respectively after transfection with recombinant plasmids. The positive rate of GCS expression reduced to 18.1%,16.7% respectively. caspase-3 expression and its activity were significantly higherand the apoptosis of cells increased dramatically. The drug resistance of breast cancer cells to antineoplastic drugs declined significantly. Conclusion shRNA can suppress GCS expression in human drug-resistant breast cancer cells effectively and restore the sensitivity to several antineoplastic drugs.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of liraglutide on diabetic rats. Methods 24 healthy male SPF Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats with random blood glucose greater than 11.1 mmol/L were selected as the experimental group, and randomly divided into diabetes mellitus group ( n=12) and liraglutide group (n=12). Ten healthy male SPF Wistar rats with the same age and weight as GK rats were selected as normal control group. After adaptively feeded for 2 weeks, the liraglutide group was given liraglutide (400 μg·kg-1·d-1, subcutaneous injection), while the control group and diabetes mellitus group were given the same volume of saline, and continued to be administered for 8 weeks. After 10 weeks, data and biochemical indicators were recorded. Effects of liraglutide on learning and memory in diabetes mellitus rats were detected by Morris water maze test. HE staining observed the hippocampal neurons morphology. Western blotting method detected the expression of p- IκB kinase (IKK) β, p-NF-κB, NF-κB, Klotho, and PRX2 in hippocampus. Results Morris water maze test showed that liraglutide can improve the spatial learning and memory ability of diabetes mellitus rats. HE staining showed that liraglutide significantly reduced the pathological damage of hippocampal neurons of diabetes mellitus rats. Western blotting showed that liraglutide inhibited NF-κB signaling pathway in hippocampus of diabetes mellitus rats. The expression of Klotho protein in hippocampus of diabetes mellitus group was significantly lower than that of control group, while the expression of PRX2 protein was higher than control group (t=8.298,-7.398,all P<0.01). The expression of Klotho and PRX2 protein in hippocampus of liraglutide group were higher than diabetes mellitus group (t=-13.059, 14.113, all P<0.01). The expression of Klotho protein of liraglutide group was similar to that of control group ( t = -1. 137, P>0. 05 ). The expression of PRX2 protein was significantly higher than control group (t=-28.055, P<0.01). Conclusions Liraglutide may enhance the expression of antioxidant stress protein including Klotho and PRX2, by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway in hippocampus of diabetes mellitus rats, reduced oxidative stress and improved the injury of hippocampal neuronal in diabetes mellitus rats, which seems to play a neuroprotective effect, to prevent and delay the occurrence of diabetic encephalopathy.
