Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2000;0(10):-
Objective:To investigate the influence of high expression of Retn gene on glucose uptake by 3T3-L1 cells and to study its mechanism in inducing insulin resistance.Methods:(1)Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the glucose uptake by 3T3-L1 cells with low-,normal-and high-level Retn expression under basal and insulin-stimulated states.(2)RT-PCR and real-time RT-PCR were used to determine the mRNA levels of several glucose transport proteins in 3T3-L1 cells with different expression of Retn,including insulin receptor substrate-1(IRS-1),phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI-3K),AKT-2,glucose transporter-4(GLUT-4),p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38MAPK),and glycogen synthase kinase-3?(GSK-3?).(Results:) The uptake of glucose decreased with the increase of Retn expression under basal and insulin-stimulated conditions.The mRNA expression of 2 signal protein PI-3K and AKT-2 decreased with the increase of Retn expression;and the expression of GSK-3? and p38MAPK increased with the increase of Retn expression.Conclusion: Resistin protein can induce insulin resistance in adipocytes,which might be related to the expression changes of some proteins in PI-3K and Ras pathways.
2.The expression level of carcinoembryonic antigen under hypoxic condition in breast cancer ;microenvironment and its prognostic value of breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;39(9):710-714
Objective To investigate the correlationbetween thecarcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) level and hypoxic status of breast cancer, and itspotential of being a prognostic factor in breast cancer. Methods Breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was cultured under hypoxic or normoxic condition to determine the protein level of CEA using Western blotting.30 breast cancer tissue sections were collected in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from April 2013 to June 2015.and were detected the expression of CEA, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α( HIF-1α) and carbonic anhydrase-9 ( CA-9 ) by immunohistochemistry.Serum CEA were detected by immunofluorescence assay of 166 breast cancer patients collected from April 2009 to June 2011.The correlation between the expression levels of CEA and breast cancer patients'clinical data was analyzed by Logistic univariate analysis.Kaplan-Meier method was employed to calculate the progression-free survival of patients with breast cancer. Log-rank test was conducted to compare the difference between groups.Results CEA levels were significantly higher in breast cancer cells under hypoxic condition in a time-dependent manner, compared to normoxiccontrol. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that CEA was coexpressed with HIF-1αand CA-9 in breast cancer and linear regression analysis revealed that CEA expression correlated with HIF-1α( P =0.0096 );Preoperative serum levels of CEA were closely related with tumor size ( P =0.015 ) andLymph node metastasis(P=0.032); CEA positive patients achieved a progression-free survival of 29.85months(versus 39.08 months in CEA negative patients, P=0.003).Conclusions Hypoxia upregulates CEA expression in breast cancer and the levels of preoperative serum CEA is a potential prognostic factor ofbreast cancer.

Currently,the incidence of breast cancer ranks first at home and abroad of female cancer and the age of onset tends to be younger.Due to the local changes of the tumor residual cavity after the breast conserving surgery,we can't accurately delineate the irradiation range using traditional breast conserving surgery combined with external irradiation of whole breast and tumor bed plus the amount,and the course of treatment is longer.Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) can avoid the impact of respiratory motion and postural changes.Meanwhile,it can immediately irradiate the tumor bed intraoperative accurately.For patients,IORT can shorten the cycle of radiotherapy and reduce irradiation on the skin and subcutaneous tissue.So IORT is convenient,easy to be accepted,and it has relatively few complications,good cosmetic results and so on.In recent years,more and more Cancer Center choose breast conserving surgery combined with IORT for the treatment of early stage breast cancer and do researches to the indications,methods,dosage,efficacy and prognosis of IORT.
