Objective:To evaluate the role of miR-124 in breast cancer and its underlying mechanism. Methods:Quantitative re-verse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was employed to quantify the expression level of miR-124 in the breast can-cer cell lines and matched tissues of 52 patients. Cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of MDA-MB-231 and T-47D were deter-mined by miR-124 overexpression in vitro. Luciferase vectors (pMIR-SP1 3'UTR) were also constructed. The predicted target gene of miR-124 was identified via luciferase activation assay. The mRNA and protein expression of SP1 was detected via qRT-PCR and West-ern blot, respectively. Results:MiR-124 was decreased in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. This result is correlated with metastatic capacity, TMN stages, and prognosis in breast cancer tissues. In breast cancer cell lines, ectopic overexpression of miR-124 inhibited cell proliferation, invasion, and migration in vitro. MiR-124 mimics significantly inhibited luciferase activation (P<0.05) in HEK293 cells and could significantly decrease the mRNA (P<0.05) and protein expression levels of SP1 in MDA-MB-231 and T-47D cells. Con-clusion:MiR-124 could be inhibited in breast cancer. The low miR-124 expression is associated with poor prognosis. In addition, miR-124 could inhibit cell proliferation, invasion, and migration by targeting SP1. These findings confirm that miR-124 downregulation may be a key mechanism for breast cancer carcinogenesis.

Objective To investigate the effect of immunocompetent cells and immune regulator on the apoptosis of human mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs) and on mRNA expression of heme oxygenase-1. Methods MSCs were cultured by density gradient centrifugation and then identified by flow cytometry. RT-PCR was used to detect HO-1 mRNA expression and flow cytometry was used to analyze cell apoptosis after the stimulation of IFN-? and PHA-activated T cells. Results The mRNA expression of Heme oxygenase-1 was observed in MSCs and decreased after the stimulation of IFN-? and activated T cells. IFN-?,znpp-Ⅸ and combined these two caused obvious cell apoptosis in MSCs,with an apoptotic rate of ( 56. 50 ? 0. 16) % ,( 56. 85 ? 2. 27) % ,and ( 82. 53 ? 2. 65) % respectively. All of them had a significant difference compared with the normal MSCs [( 7. 56 ? 1. 43) % ,P

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenehymal stem cells (MSCs) and peripheral blood stem cells in hematological malignant diseases and to observe its effect on hematopoietic reconstruction after cotransplantation. Methods Adult human MSCs were isolated from the healthy bone marrow of the patient himself with Percoll (1. 073 g/ml) and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with low glucose containing 10% AB type human serum. After conditioning regimen of high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs and peripheral blood stem cells was done in five patients with hematological malignant diseases. Results The process of the infusion was safe and there were no adverse reactions or other toxicities related to the infustion of MSCs. The median time to achieve neutrophil counts greater than 0. 5 × 109/L was 9.4 days ( ranging from 8 to 11 days) after cotransplantation and platelet counts greater than 20 × 109/L 12. 2 days (ranging from 10 to 14 days). Conclusion Cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs and peripheral blood stem cells in hematological malignant diseases is feasible and safe. The rapid hematopoietic reconstruction after cotransplantation shows that MSCs have an effect on hematopeiesis, but the mechanism is still to be investigated.
