1.Analysis of effects of allicin prodrug on proliferation of esophageal cancer cell line Eca9706 and the expression of apoptosis gene
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;37(7):43-45
Objective To explore and analyze the effects of allicin prodrug on proliferation of esophageal cancer cell line Eca9706 and the expression of apoptosis gene.Methods Different concentrations of allicin prodrugs were divided into a total of four groups:A1 group(10μg/mL),A2 group(20 μg/mL),A3 group (40 μg/mL),A4 group (normal saline,0 μg/mL),and respectively applicated in esophageal carcinoma cell line Eca9706.After culturing for 1 days,2 days,3 days,cell proliferation was detected by MTT and expression of p53 at the mRNA level was detected by RT-PCR.Results The optimum concentration of proliferation inhibition of allicin prodrug on esophageal cancer cell line Eca9706 was 20μg/mL and the best inhibition time was 2 days;the gene level of esophageal cancer cell line Eca9706 was inhibited with a dose-dependent.Conclusion Allicin prodrugs could effectively inhibit the proliferation of esophageal cancer cell line Eca9706,and control the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells by regulating the expression of apoptosis associated genes,so as to eliminate tumor cells.

Objective To explore the expression of Topo Ⅱα and COX-2 in breast cancer tissues and investigate their correlations to clinicopathologic feature of breast cancer. MethodsThe expression of Topo Ⅱα and COX-2 in 50 specimens of breast cancer and their normal tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Their correlation to clinicopathologic features of breast cancer were analyzed.ResultsThe positive rates of Topo Ⅱα were 64 % (32/50) and 22 % (11/50) and COX-2 were 68 % (34/50) , 14 %(7/50) in breast cancer and normal tissue (P<0.05). The expression of Topo Ⅱα was correlated to degree of differentiation (P <0.05), not correlated to patient age, tumor size, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis(P >0.05). The expression of COX-2 was correlated to tumor size, degree of differentiation, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P <0.05), not correlated to patient age (P >0.05). Conclusion Topo Ⅱα and COX-2 expression can be used as an indicator for predicting the differentiation, infiltration and metastasis characteristics of breast cancer.
