Background:Multidrug resistance of tumor cells is one of the important factors that cause failure of chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL)may enhance the killing effect of chemotherapeutics on tumor cells,and reverse drug-resistant cell lines to sensitive cell lines,but its mechanism is not yet clear. Aims:To study the effect of TRAIL on expression of multidrug resistance gene glutathione S-transferase-π(GST-π)in drug-resistant human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 / VCR and the potential mechanism of TRAIL in reversing multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells. Methods:SGC-7901 / VCR cells were treated with TRAIL in different doses (50,100,200 and 400 μg/ L)for 48 hours. After treatment,expression of GST-π mRNA in SGC-7901 / VCR cells and concentration of GST-π in culture supernatant were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA,respectively. Results:TRAIL could inhibit mRNA expression and protein secretion of GST-π in SGC-7901 / VCR cells in a dose-dependent manner within a certain range(≤200 μg/ L). The relative expression levels of GST-π mRNA in 50,100,200 and 400 μg/ L TRAIL groups were 0. 89 ± 0. 04,0. 77 ± 0. 08,0. 65 ± 0. 06 and 0. 61 ± 0. 03,respectively,and the concentrations of GST-π in culture supernatant in these groups were(57. 56 ± 1. 19)ng/ mL,(56. 30 ± 0. 80)ng/ mL,(31. 41 ± 1. 65)ng/ mL and (30. 80 ± 1. 34)ng/ mL,respectively,all were significantly lower than those in control group[1. 01 ± 0. 13 and(58. 62 ± 1. 38)ng/ mL,P all < 0. 05]. Conclusions:TRAIL may play a potential role in reversing multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells through down-regulating GST-π expression.

Objective To investigate the effects of edaravone pretreatment on the lung injury during onelung ventilation (OLV) in patients.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ male patients, aged 48-64 yr, with body mass index 18-26 kg/m2, undergoing elective resection of esophageal carcinoma, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each): control group (group C) and edaravone group (group E). Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl,propofol and rocuronium and maintained with sevoflourane, remifentanil and atracurium. The patients were mechanically ventilated (during OLV VT 8 ml/kg, RR 15 bpm, I:E 1:1.5). In group E edaravone 0.5 mg/kg (in normal saline 100 ml) was infused over 30 min after skin incision. PETCO2 and peak airway pressure (Ppeak) were recorded during operation. Venous blood samples were obtained before opening the thoracic cavity and at the end of operation for determination of serum SOD activity and the levels of serum surfactant protein A (SP-A), MDA and TNF-α. Results There was no significant difference in PETCO2 and Ppeak during operation between the two groups (P > 0.05). Serum SOD activity was significantly decreased, while the levels of serum SP-A, MDA and TNF-α were significantly increased after OLV in both groups (P < 0.05). Serum SOD activity was significantly higher,while the levels of serum SP-A, MDA and TNF-α were significantly lower at the end of operation in group E than in group C (P < 0.05). Conclusion Edaravone pretreatment can reduce the lung injury during OLV through inhibiting oxidative response and inflammatory response in patients.
