Aim Drug resistance is one of the major hinders on cancer treatments. α-enolase ( eno1 ) was closely related to the generation and development of drug resistance. This article aims to study the effect of eno1 on cell growth and drug resistance in human chro-nic myeloid leukemia cell line K562/A02 . Methods We screened three eno1 stable silencing cells K562/A02-sheno1 and its control cells K562/A02-shcon. Cell count assay was performed to test cell growth, MTT assay was used to test cell proliferation, flow cytometry was used to test the intra-cellular Rho123 content, the expression of genes were tested by real-time PCR assay and western blot assay on mRNA level and protein level, respectively. Results eno1 was o-ver-expressed in K562/A02 cells and its expression was increased by ( 2. 85 ± 0. 56 ) times and ( 1. 43 ± 0. 05 ) times on mRNA level and protein level com-pared to K562 cells. However, there was no difference in cell growth rate between K562/A02 cells and K562 cells. K562/A02-sheno1 cells showed lower cell growth rate and higher drug sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs taxol and doxorubicin. Moreover the Rho123 content was increased in K562/A02-sheno1 cells. The expression of MDR1 decreased in both mRNA level and protein level in K562/A02-sheno1 cells. Conclusion eno1 silencing could suppress cell growth, reverse drug resistance and increase its drug sensitivity in K562/A02 cells, and the mechanism was associated with the MDR1 gene.

Objective:To examine the surgical treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection (type A dissection) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).Methods:The data of 58 patients with reoccurrence of type A dissection after TEVAR admitted into the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Henan Chest Hospital from February 2012 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 40 males and 18 females, aged (57.0±6.7) years (range: 31 to 71 years). The time between recurrence of type A dissection and TEVAR ( M( Q R)) was 37 days (72.8 months) (range: 1 h to 14 years). Forty-eight cases underwent emergency operation, 9 cases underwent sub-emergency operation, and 1 case died of dissection rupture on the way to the operating room. All 57 patients underwent radical treatment. Fifty-four cases underwent the frozen elephant trunk technique under deep hypothermia circulatory arrest and selective cerebral perfusion, and 3 cases (>65 years old) underwent arch debranch anastomosis+ascending aorta replacement+descending arch covered stent implantation under mild hypothermia. Results:The operation time was (445±32) minutes (range: 382 to 485 minutes), the aortic crossclamp time was (103±19) minutes (range: 89 to 133 minutes), the cardiopulmonary bypass time was (189±27) minutes (range: 162 to 221 minutes), and the intraoperative blood loss was (665±343) ml (range: 450 to 1 750 ml). Postoperative ICU stay time was 5 (6) days (range: 2 to 27 days), and postoperative hospital stay was 14.0 (4.5) days (range: 2 to 36 days). Three cases died, including 2 cases with severe brain complications and 1 case with systemic multiple organ failure caused by severe liver insufficiency and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Postoperative follow-up was 0.5 to 7.0 years, which showed that 1 case had left coronary artery anastomotic stoma fistula 3 months after operation and underwent reoperation, 2 cases underwent thoracoabdominal aortic replacement again, and the rest of patients had no anastomotic stoma fistula and incomplete stent distortion and expansion on CT angiography. Four cases died during follow-up, and 1 case died of sudden cerebral infarction 2 years after operation.Conclusion:The recurrent type A dissection after TEVAR is mostly related to stent graft, and the patients can undergo operation actively with good prognosis.
