Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(10):1190-1199
Objective To investigate the effect of Cynanoside H on the proliferation and metastasis of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cells and its mechanism, so as to provide an experimental basis for the development of TNBC therapeutics.Methods MDA-MB-231 cells were randomly divided into one control group(without Cynanoside H) and three test groups including 2. 5, 5 and 10 μmol/L Cynanoside H dose groups. The effect of Cynanoside H on the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by MTT assay and clone formation assay, while the effect on the cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry, and the effect on the metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells was measured by wound healing assay, Transwell migration and invasion assay. In addition, the effects of Cynanoside H on the expression of cell cycle(c-Myc, CDK1, CDK2and cyclin E1), metastasis(E-cadherin, Vimentin and β-catenin) and PDGFRB/JAK2/STAT3 pathway related proteins(PDGFRB, p-JAK2, JAK2, p-STAT3 and STAT3) in MDA-MB-231 cells were determined by Western blot.Results The levels of cell viability(t = 4. 598, 19. 77 and 53. 43, respectively, each P < 0. 05), growth(36 h: t = 8. 256, 11. 57 and12. 16, respectively, each P < 0. 05; 48 h: t =10. 49,22. 49 and 19. 63, respectively, each P < 0. 01; 72 h: t = 50. 20, 28. 84and 15. 83, respectively, each P < 0. 01; 96 h: t = 11. 18, 18. 35 and 20. 92, respectively, each P < 0. 01) and clone formation(t = 4. 618, 9. 821 and 12. 14, respectively, each P < 0. 05) of 2. 5, 5 and 10 μmol/L dose groups were significantly lower than those of the control group. Compared with the control group, the proportion of cells in S phase of three test group increased in a concentration-dependent manner(48 h: t = 6. 316, 8. 156 and 14. 11, respectively, each P < 0. 05; 72 h: t =7. 231, 15. 36 and 25. 16, respectively, each P < 0. 05), and the expression of c-Myc(5 and 10 μmol/L:t = 10. 39 and12. 18, P < 0. 05 and < 0. 01, respectively), CDK1(t = 3. 777, 5. 069 and 6. 974, respectively, each P < 0. 05), CDK2(5 and10 μmol/L:t = 12. 72 and 19. 43, respectively, each P < 0. 01) and cyclinE1(t = 3. 813 and 15. 23, respectively, each P <0. 01) was down-regulated at the protein level. Compared with the control group, each test group significantly inhibited wound healing(48 h: t = 6. 969, 56. 16 and 27. 73, respectively, each P < 0. 05; 72 h: t = 8. 619, 22. 12 and 32. 15, respectively, each P < 0. 05), migration(t = 9. 817, 14. 74 and 19. 39, respectively, each P < 0. 01) and invasion(t = 5. 614, 13. 85and 14. 22, respectively, each P < 0. 01) of MDA-MB-231 cells, and up-regulated the expression of E-cadherin(10 μmol/L:t = 11. 79, P < 0. 01), down-regulated the expression of Vimentin(5 and 10 μmol/L:t = 12. 05 and 13. 02, respectively,each P < 0. 01) and β-catenin(5 and 10 μmol/L:t = 4. 516 and 9. 305, respectively, each P < 0. 01) at the protein level. In addition, the test groups of Cynanoside H could significantly down-regulate the protein expression of PDGFRB(5 and10 μmol/L:t = 7. 083 and 18. 87, respectively, each P < 0. 01) and inhibit the protein levels of p-JAK2(t = 4. 050, 10. 95and 11. 05, respectively, each P < 0. 05) and p-STAT3(5 and 10 μmol/L:t = 15. 25 and 25. 89, respectively, each P <0. 01), but had no effect on the total protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3.Conclusion Cynanoside H inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by inducing S-phase cell cycle arrest and reverses the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) to inhibit cell metastasis. These effects may be mediated by down-regulating PDGFRB/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

4.Advances in tumor treatment-resistance mechanisms related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(22):1470-1473
Chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy are essential components of medical oncology. Al-though cancer patients significantly benefit from the emergence of various new anticancer drugs, none of these treatments can directly address drug resistance. Radiation therapy is one of the three conventional cancer treatment methods. Nearly two-thirds of cancer pa-tients accept radiation therapy during treatment. However, radiation resistance is a significant barrier affecting the therapeutic effect of this procedure. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biologic process that enables a polarized epithelial cell to undergo multi-ple biochemical changes. These changes enable the cell to assume the functions of a mesenchymal cell phenotype. These functions have been extensively studied and are related to embryogenesis, tumor invasiveness, and metastasis. In recent years, increasing evidence sug-gests that EMT is closely linked with tumor treatment resistance. The study of the relation between EMT and tumor treatment resistance is expected to contribute to the prevention of drug resistance and radiation resistance and thus improve treatment efficacy to provide benefit to cancer patients. This article explores this issue.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(8):1144-1146
Version 2015 of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for Uterine Neoplasms uses the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system.These NCCN guidelines divide pure endnmetrioid cancers into three categories to delineate treatment:(1) disease limited to the uterus;(2) cervical involvement;(3) extrauterinc disease.Surgery is recommended for medically operable patients.Continuous progestin-based therapy may be considered for highly selected patients with stage IA disease who wish to preserve their fertility.Preoperative chemotherapy can be considered if extrauterine disease is suspected.Factors that may influence the decision regarding adjuvant therapy include lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI),patient age,tumor volume,and lower uterine segment or surface cervical glandular involvement.When administering adjuvant radiotherapy,it should be initiated as soon as the vaginal cuff has healed,no later than 12 weeks after surgery.
7.The application of adrenal cortical hormone in the treatment of cerebral salt wasting syndrome
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(12):1127-1130
Cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS) is a common cause of refractory hyponatremia. Early diagnosis and treatment of CSWS can greatly improve the patient′s condition and improve the prognosis. Clinically by supplying sodium hydrate, most patients can resume normal serum sodium level, and get remission. But a few patients with low serum sodium, high urine sodium and low blood volume can not improve and even worse. Fludrocortisone and adrenal cortical hormone can rapidly and effectively reduce the urinary sodium level and urine volume, correct hyponatremia and low blood volume and improve the prognosis in such patients.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(36):5458-5465
BACKGROUND:The emergence of human induced pluripotent stem cel s (iPSCs)-derived dopaminergic neurons solves the problem that the embryonic stem cel (ESC) shows an ethical issue on its source, providing a promising cel source for treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the differentiation methods of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons in vitro, the choice of Parkinson’s disease models and the transplantation of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons in the Parkinson’s disease treatment.
METHODS:In order to search relevant articles about the application of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons in the Parkinson’s disease models from PubMed databases (from 1980 to 2015), a computer-based search was performed by the first author, using the key words of“iPSC and Parkinson’s disease, induced pluripotent stem cel s and Parkinson’s disease, ES cel s and Parkinson, PD model, Parkinson and Lewy bodies”in English. Final y 40 articles were chosen for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Here, this paper is detailed to show the research status of human iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons for treating Parkinson’s disease by reviewing the sources and in vitro differentiation schedules of iPSCs as wel as the choice of Parkinson’s disease models and outcomes of transplantation of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons for Parkinson’s disease treatment. According to the Parkinson’s disease mechanism of the Lewy body, we analyze the generation mechanism of the Lewy body, providing references to avert the presence of Lewy bodies and optimize the outcomes of transplantation. The improvement of differentiation conditions of iPSCs can markedly improve the behavior outcomes, and moreover, we can systematical y evaluate the outcomes of transplantation by iconography and immunohistochemical results.
10.Cognitive disorders in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome:a review of literature
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 1981;0(04):-
Patients possibly incur cognitive disorders when they suffer from obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). The pathogenesis of OSAHS is mainly associated with turbulence of sleep structure and chronic episodic hypoxia during sleep, and the pathological changes in cerebral areas hypersensitive to hypopnea may be responsible for cognitive dysfunction. It has been preliminarily showed that cognitive disorder in OSAHS is a generalized cognitive impairment and is possibly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, measures for cognitive evaluation have been improved by the application of the neuroimage; however,to build a highly specific,maneuverable evaluation system still demands more exertion. Despite the fact that early remedies for OSAHS may slow down the cognitive dysfunction,there still lacks specialized treatment for cognitive disorders. OSAHS is not rare in children and it can affect their cognitive function, which demands more attention.
