Objective To investigate the effect of STAT3 knockdown on the sensitivity of breast cancer cells with drug-resistant to adriamycin (MCF-7/ADR). Methods Levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 in MCF-7/ADR and MCF-7 cells were detected by Western Blot. The MCF-7/ADR cells were infected with lentivirus expressing STAT3-shRNA and the negative control vectors in the STAT3-RNAi group and NC group, respectively, wihle the cells in the blank group received no treatment. The transfection efficiency was observed with fluorescence microscope, the mRNA level of STAT3, protein levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western Blot, respectively. MCF-7/ADR cells were treated with different concentrations of adriamycin for 48 hours, cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Results Levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 in MCF-7/ADR cells were significantly higher than those in the MCF-7 cells (P < 0.05). The levels of STAT3 mRNA, STAT3 and p-STAT3 in the STAT3-RNAi group were significantly lower than those in the Con group and the NC group (P<0.05, respectively). The Adriamycin IC50 in the Con group, NC group and STAT3-RNAi group was (56.1 ± 3.00)ug/mL,(54.9 ± 11.9)ug/mL and (7.6 ± 0.2)ug/mL, respectively. The flow cytometry results showed that the cell apoptosis in the Con group, the NC group and the STAT3-RNAi group was (10.5+0.7)%, (11.7+0.7)%and (34+3.1)%, respectively. Conclusion LV-shRNA-STAT3 can significantly inhibit STAT3 expression and enhance the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to adriamycin, and the underlying mechanism may be related to cell apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the correlation of perfusion parameters obtained by functional multi-slice computed tomography (fMSCT) with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) detected with immunohistochemistry on rabbit model with VX2 breast cancer and noninvasively evaluate the vascularization of untreated VX2 breast cancer in vivo. Methods Sixteen New Zealand femal rabbits were selected and suspension (1 ml) of mass was injected around the breast areola. CT perfusion was performed after two weeks and perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT)and permeability surface (PS) were assessed. Expression of VEGF in neoplasm was detected with immunohistochemistry. Paried t test was used for the comparison of perfusion parameters between the tumor and muscle and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation of VEGF with perfusion parameters. Results The mean value of BF, BV, MTT and PS were (228.21 ± 13. 13 ) ml · min-1100 mg-1 ,(13.45 ± 1.01) ml · 100 mg-1 ,(3. 50 ±0. 20) sand (7.85 ±1.18) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in tumor, respectively. They were (66. 10 ±22. 11 ) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 , ( 1.88 ± 1.80) ml · 100 mg-1,(23. 87 ±0. 63)s,(1.55 ±0. 38)ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in muscular tissue, respectively. The mean value of BF, BV and PS in tumor were obviously higher than those in muscle, and the mean value of MTT in tumor was lower than that in muscle. There were significant differences in CT perfusion parameters between tumor and muscle (t = 61.83,13.63,27.72,20. 54, P < 0. 01 ). The mean value of VEGF in tumor was 7. 33 ±0. 27 and there were positive correlation with BF ( r = 0. 712, P < 0. 01 ), BV ( r = 0. 647, P < 0. 01 ), PS ( r =0. 627 ,P < 0. 01 ), and negative correlation with MTT ( r = - 0. 564, P < 0. 05 ).
