Background and purpose: Resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy is a major clinical obstacle to successful treatment and leads to poor prognosis for the patients. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a vital role in tumor cells response to chemotherapeutic agents. This study plans to investigate the expressions of miRNA27a and miRNA451 in ovarian cancer and breast cancer cells and its correlation with drug resistance. Methods:A2780/Taxol cells were established using stepwise selection;Stem-loop quantitative real-time PCR (stem-loop RT-PCR) was used to detect expression of miRNA27a and miRNA451 in ovarian cancer and breast cancer cells. The A2780 and A2780/Taxol cells were transfected with the mimics or inhibitors of miRNA27a or negative control (NC) RNA and the mimics of miRNA451 or NC were transfected into MCF-7/ADM cells by LipofectamineTM 2000. The expression levels of MDR1 mRNA and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) were examined using RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. MTT method was used to analyze drug sensitivity. Results:The expression of miRNA27a was an average of (2.2±0.30) times higher in A2780/Taxol cells than in A2780 cells, with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The expression of miRNA451 was lower by 84%in MCF-7/ADM cells than in MCF-7 cells, with a signiifcant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). A2780/Taxol cells transfection with inhibitors of miRNA27a showed that the levels of MDR1 mRNA was decreased by (39±0.14)%, P-gp level [(26±5.3)%] decreased compared with the NC group [(43±6.7)%], the IC50 (0.53μmol/L) was less than the NC group (6.8μmol/L), and there was a signiifcant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Transfection of A2780 cells with mimics of miRNA27a led to increase MDR1 mRNA expression by (121±0.11)%and decrease the sensitivity to paclitaxel (IC50:0.2μmol/L vs 0.06μmol/L). There was a signiifcant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Transfection of MCF-7/ADM cells with mimics of miRNA451 showed that expression of MDR1 mRNA was decreased by (65±12)%, P-gp [(31±19)%] was less than the NC group [(83±12)%], the sensitivity of cells to adriamycin enhanced and the IC50 of adriamycin (4.61μmol/L) was less than the NC group (26μmol/L), and there was a signiifcant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:The expressions of miRNA27a and miRNA451 are deregulated in A2780/Taxol and MCF-7/ADM cells respectively, which may play vital roles in drug resistance by regulating MDR1/P-gp expression directly or indirectly.

This study was designed to construct THY1 eukaryotic expression plasmid and assess its effects on epithelial ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3. The gene fragment coding for THY1 was inserted into pcDNA3.1(+) for constructing the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-THY1. The eukaryotic expression plasmid was analyzed by PCR, restriction endonucleases digestion and DNA sequencing. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-THY1 was transfected into SKOV3 cells by liposome protocol. The experimental cells were classified into three groups: SKOV3-THY1, SKOV3-Null and SKOV3. The pcDNA3.1(+)-THY1 has been transfected into SKOV3 cells by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The cell inhibitory rate of SKOV3-THY1 (56.6% at the fifth day) was higher than that of SKOV3-Null (12.5%), there was significant difference between them (P<0.05). The ratios of G1 phase of SKOV3 cells after transfection were increased and the ratios of S phase were decreased significantly. There was significant difference between SKOV3-THY1 and SKOV3-Null or SKOV3 (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between SKOV3-Null and SKOV3 (P>0.05). We have constructed the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-THY1 sucessfully. THY1 transfection can inhibit the growth of SKOV3 cells in vitro.

Objective To compare the efficacy of different hysteroscopic surgical procedures in the treatment of endometrial polyps. Methods Ninety-two patients with endometrial polyps from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected. Among them, 37 patients with fertility requirements underwent polypectomy with MyoSure as group A; 25 patients without fertility requirements underwent polypectomy with resectoscopic hysteroscopy as group B, and 30 patients underwent polypectomy with hysterosopy and curettage as group C. The duration of the procedure, blood loss and hospital stays, effective rate, recurrence rate and postoperative pregnancy rate of the3 groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and hospital stays among the 3 groups (P> 0.05). The duration of the procedure of group A and B was longer than that of group C, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The effective rate of treatment was high in all 3 groups, and inter-group comparison indicated no statistically significant difference, but the recurrence rate of group C was significantly higher than that of group A and B. For those with fertility requirements, the pregnancy rate in group A was slightly higher than that in group C within one year after surgery, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion Hysteroscopic procedures of endometrial polypectomy has the advantages of accuracy, safety, effectiveness and rapid recovery. The treatment with MyoSure and resectoscopic hysteroscopy can reduce the recurrence rate of patients effectively. For women with fertility requirements, the treatment with MyoSure can protect the endometrium and improve the postoperative pregnancy rate.
