[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effects of c-Met on the proliferation and the sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs of triple negative breast cancer cells.METHODS: Doxorubicin-resistant cells ( MDA-MB-231/ADR) were estab-lished.The expression of c-Met at mRNA and protein levels in the MDA-MB-231/ADR cells and parental MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting.c-Met siRNA and plasmid or AKT siRNA were transfected into the cancer cells.The cell proliferation and the sensitivity to doxorubicin were determined by MTT assay.RESULTS:The expression of c-Met at mRNA and protein levels in MDA-MB-231/ADR cells was significantly higher than that in parental MDA-MB-231 cells.Transfection with pBABE-puro TPR-MET plasmid into the MDA-MB-231 cells induced cell prolifera-tion and resistance to doxorubicin.Meanwhile, inhibition of c-Met in the MDA-MB-231/ADR cells by siRNA reversed the doxorubicin-resistance.In addition, over-expression of c-Met led to higher phosphorylation level of AKT, which was in-volved in the effects of c-Met on the MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation and doxorubicin-resistance.CONCLUSION: c-Met may have the potential as a therapeutic target in the treatment of triple negative breast cancer.

Objective To establish the multiple quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR)assay and evaluate its clinical application in prenatal diagnosis.Methods Totally 170 samples Were collected between May 2008 and July 2009 in prenatal center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital:123 of them were amniotic fluid,9 were chofionic villous samples,20 were fetal blood and 18 were villi from aborted fetuses.All samples were from women of Han nationality,with mean age of (34.1±4.6) years old,and with mean gestational age of(19.6±1.0)weeks.Cytogenetic cultures and karyotyping were made to every sample.Genomic DNA wag extracted from the samples.The sequences of twenty short tandem repeat (STR) markers were designed according to the GenBank and references,including 6 STR markers in chromosome 21.4 in chromosome 18.4 in chromosome 13,4 in chromosome X,1 in chromosome Y and 1 universal marker in both X and Y chromosome.Each sample was amplified by two sets of multiple QF-PCR,which included 4 STR markers in each of 21,18,13 and sex chromosomes. If the result was uninformative,the third set of anotherd 4 STR markers was added. Results ( 1 ) Karyotyping. Cytogenetic analysis were made for all the 170 samples, 151 (89%) of which were normal, and 19 (11% ) were abnormal (2)QF-PCR assay. 167(98% ) samples were detected by QF-PCR. The results were obtained within 2 -3 days after sampling. 134 samples were proved normal by QF-PCR, which was consistent with karyotyping. Among the 19 abnormal karyotype samples, 18 were detected as abnormal( eight were 21-trisomy, three were 18-trisomy)by QF-PCR. Among the 167 samples, 150(90% ) were detected using the first and second set of STR mixtures, and 3(2% ) were detected when the third set of STR was added. The remain 14(8% ) were uninformative. (3) The diagnostic efficiency of QF-PCR. The sensitivity of QF-PCR in prenatal diagnosis of common aneuploidities was 95%, the specificity, the false positive rate, the false negative rate, the positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 100% ,0,5%, 100% and 99% , respectively. (4)Autusome and sex chromosome detection by QF-PCR. Among all the STR markers,D21S1270 and D21S1411 had the highest heterozygosifies in chromosome 21, and DXS8377 had the highest in sex chromosome. The amplifications were stable. Conclusion Multiple QF-PCR assay is a valid alternative in rapid prenatal diagnosis of common chromosome aneuploidies. With high accuracy, it can be used for numerous sample test in large-scale laboratories.

A 44-year-old pregnant woman (G5P3) who had delivered two children with DMD was admitted and underwent prenatal diagnosis at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in 2019. (1) The karyotype of the fetus in 2019 was 47,XXY. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) result showed a nucish(CSPX×2, CSPY×1)[100] and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) suggested sex chromosome abnormality. Based on the above results, the fetus was diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome. Fetal short tandem repeat (STR) linkage analysis and Sanger sequencing indicated a heterozygous mutation of c.9543delG(p.Trp3181CysfsTer2). (2) Sanger sequencing of the proband found a novel frameshift mutation of c.9543delG(p.Trp3181CysfsTer2 ) in exon 65 of the DMD gene. (3) The male fetus performing prenatal diagnosis in 2008 was found to have the same maternal gene markers as the proband with the same genotype. While the genotype of the fetus in 2009 obtained a different maternal gene marker from the proband and did not detect the same DMD gene mutation. This fetus was delivered at full term and was good during follow-up. (4) The elder brother and cousin of the proband had the same frameshift mutation in exon 65 of the DMD gene as the proband. The mother of the proband was a heterozygous carrier of the mutation.

BACKGROUNDTo study the expression and clinicopathological significance of CD44V6 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

METHODSCD44V6 expression in lung cancer tissues was detected in 90 patients with lung cancer by immunohistohemistry SABC method.

RESULTSThe positive rate of CD44V6 expression in NSCLC was 51.1% (46/90), which was related to TNM stage, but not to cell differention, age and sex of the patients (P > 0.05). The positive rate of CD44V6 expression was 32.2% (10/31) in stage I+II patients and 61.0% (36/59) in stage III+IV disease. A highly significant difference was existed between the two groups (P < 0.01). The positive rate of CD44V6 expression was significantly higher in NSCLC with lymph node metastasis (61.0%, 36/59) than that without lymph node metastasis (32.2%, 10/31) (P < 0.01). The 3-year survival rate (65.5%, 19/29) in patients with low CD44V6 expression was significantly higher than that (35.0%, 7/20) with high CD44V6 expression (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSOverexpression of CD44V6 may be involved in the progression and metastasis of the cancer and prognosis of the patients with lung cancer. It might be helpful to evaluate the progression of the cancer, and to predict the metastasis and progression of lung cancer.

Objective To observe the effects of the extract from daylily on the learning and memory in depression model rats, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Rats were randomly divided into control group, model group ( CUMS), the positive group (CUMS + fluoxetine) , high, medium and low dose group (stress + daylily extract in different doses), 12 rats in each group. The depression model was established by combining separation and chronic unpredictable stress. Body mass, open-field-test and sugar consumption experiment were used to evaluate the changes of behaviors in rats. And morris water Maze test was used to evaluate the ability of learning and memory. Results There was no statistically distinction between the rats of each group on weight and the behavioral indicator before modeling. Compared with the control group, the vertical movement,horizontal movement of open box test in the model group were reduced (P＜0.05 ) ,and sugar consumption and preference degree decreased (P<0.05 ).The target quadrant time, platform resident time, effective area residence time and crossing platform times in the water maze test of the model group was less than those of the control group. The daylily effect was evaluated at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 days respectively post treatment. There were significant differences in depression behaviors between model group and daylily group(P＜0.05). And each indicator in the water maze test of the daylily group (high, medium dose) was more than that of model group (P ＜ 0. 05). Control group, model group, positive group, high, medium and low dose group, vertical movement scores were (41.83 ± 17.63; 8.14 ±4.23; 12.73 ±7.21; 23.17 ± 18.75; 8.38 ±3.46; 13.50 ±5.44); horizontal movement scores were (69.92 ±34.04; 28.33 ±20.36; 62.25 ± 15.72; 69.42 ±35.17 ; 49.08 ±32.85; 48.08 ±21.19). Conclusion Daylily may be partially work on the depression of rats, with some antidepressant effect, meantime,daylily can improve the ability of learning and memorizing of the depressed rats.
