1.Radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(1):49-52
In National Comprehensive Cancer Network guideline, patients with the clinical stages of Ⅰ B-ⅢA esophageal neoplasms should be given radical PF regimen (cisplatin + 5-fluorouracil) concurrent chemoradiotherapy.The majorization PF and radiation dosage are studied by some scholars in China and abroad, and the local control rate and survival rate are improved, adverse reaction is within a controllable range.In recent years, some new drugs such as capecitabine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, pemetrexed and carboplatin also show their advantages in radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

China Oncology 2006;0(12):-
Background and purpose:Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand(TRAIL)is a successful clinical anti-tumor agent.However,not all tumor cells are sensitive to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis.In this study,we examined the TRAIL-induced apoptosis after pretreatment with pentamidine in K562 cells.Methods:When K562 cells were pretreated with pentamidine followed by TRAIL,apoptosis of cells was analyzed by cellular morphology via viewing live cells under a light microscope and annexin V-FITC/propidium iodine FACS.Western blot was performed to examine the cleavage of caspase-3,-8 and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARR)and protein levels of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein(XIAP).Results:Apoptotic cell death occurred and cleavage of caspase-3,-8 and PARR appeared when K562 cells were pretreated with 10?g/ml of pentamidine followed by 200 ng/ml of TRAIL.In addition,pentamidine decreased protein levels of XIAP.Conclusions:Combined treatment with pentamidine and TRAIL may become a new strategy for cancer therapy.

For the purpose of diagnosis of sudden manhood death syndrome, immu- nohistochemical study of ANP was performed in right atria of 10 cases of sudden manhood death syndrome (SMDS) and 10 cases of noncardiac death controls with LSAB-method. It was found that the ANP granulus in right atria of SMDS were obviously depleted, compared with that in the control groups. The results showed that depletion of ANP granules in atria plays an important role in the causes of death of SMDS. This experiment also provides a new approach for studying the causes of SMDS.

Objective To investigate the relationship between miR-411 and breast cancer,and the expression of miR-411 and its effects and mechanism research on proliferation and metastasis in breast cancer.Methods Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR411 in breast cancer cells and tissues.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT),clone formation assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the effect of miR-411 expression on the proliferation,migration and invasion in breast cancer cells.The effect of miR-411 on growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) expression in breast cancer cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.The direct effect of miR-411 target on GRB2 was detected by dual luciferase reporter assay.MTT,clone formation assay and Transwell assay detect the effect of GRB2 expression on the proliferation and invasion in breast cancer cells.Detection the effect high expression of miR-411 on GRB2 downstream signaling pathway related molecules expression in breast cancer cell with Western blot.Results The expression of miR-411 in breast cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P < 0.05).The expression of miR-411 in breast cancer cells SK-BR-3,BT-549 and MDA-MB-231 was significantly lower (P < 0.05).Compared to the negative control group,the transfection of miR-411 mimic inhibited the proliferation,migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Targetscan showed that miR-411 could bind to GRB2 3'UTR at position 741-747.Compared with the negative control group,GRB2 3'UTR wild-type plasmid and miR-411 co-transfection reduced the fluorescence activity (P < 0.05).Transfection of siGRB2 significantly reduced the expression of GRB2 protein in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Compared to the negative control group,the inhibition of GRB2 expression reduced the proliferation and the number of colony formation of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Transwell assay showed that transfection of siGRB2 significantly reduced the number of invasive cells in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (P < 0.05).Conclusions miR-411 is related closely to the occurrence and development of breast cancer,miR-411-GRB2-Ras axis is expected to become a new target for biological treatment of breast cancer.
