Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(16):-
Objective To investigate how genistein to inhibit the invasion of human ovarian serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma cell line SKOV3.Methods Millicell chamber and coculture method were used to establish chemotactic migration model in vitro to observe the effect of genistein on directional chemotactic migration movement of SKOV3 cells.The protein expressions of cell surface adhesion molecule CD44v6,matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases MMP-9/TIMP-1 and MMP-2/TIMP-2 were determined by using immunocytochemical method and their mRNA levels were examined by in situ hybridization.Results Compared with control group,the directional chemotactic migration of SKOV3 were significantly decreased after treated with 20 ?mol/L and 40 ?mol/L genistein,reached to(46.9?5.8)% and(28.3?4.7)% respectively(P

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of genistein on the invasion of ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV 3 in vivo and in vitro. Methods The abilities of the genistein-treated SKOV 3 cells to invade through reconstituted matrigel in transwell chambers were investigated in vitro and the invasion effect in vivo was determined using the xenograft models of SKOV 3 in nude mice. Results The ability of the 20 ?mol/L genistein-treated cells to invade the reconstituted basement membrane was decreased significantly at 72 h. This inhibition was in a dose-dependent manner. Genistein at the dose of 40 ?mol/L had the strongest effect. The results in vivo suggested that the grade of invasion in control SKOV 3 cells was in a time-dependent manner and genistein-treated group could apparently inhibit the progress of invasion, localizing the tumor in invasion grade 0 or grade I, and decreasing the proportion of grades Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ. Conclusion The results suggest that genistein has inhibitory effect on the invasion of human ovarian carcinoma cell lines SKOV 3 in vivo and in vitro.

BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis is an important prognostic indicator for malignant tumors. Breast cancer overexpressing oncogene HER-2/neu often denotes a poor prognosis. Many studies have demonstrated the antitumor effect of genistein against breast cancer.OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between HER-2/neu expression and angiogenesis in breast cancer as well as the effect of genistein on the angiogenesis in HER-2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer.DESIGN: A randomized controlled observatory experiment with nude mice.SETTING: Department of nutrition and food hygiene of a military medical university.MATERIALS: Twenty specific pathogen-free(SPF) normal female BALB/c nude mice weighing (10 ± 2) g, aged 3 to 4 weeks, were purchased from the Experimental Animal Center of the Third Military Medical University.METHODS: This study was carried out in the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Third Military Medical University from June 2001 to March 2002. HER-2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cell line MCF-7/HER-2 was generated by transfecting MCF-7 cells with human HER-2/neu cDNA. MCF-7/HER-2 and MCF-7 cells were inoculated in female BALB/c nude mice to establish tumor-bearing mouse models. Four weeks after the inoculation, the mice with MCF-7/HER-2 xenografts were randomly divided into control,genistein treatment, and anti-HER-2/neu antibody treatment groups to receive corresponding treatments every other day for two weeks, at the end of which the tumor volume, microvessel density(MVD) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression in the xenografts were measured.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: MVD and VEGF expression in the xenograft tumor. Secondary outcome measures: Identification of HER-2/neu-transfected from MCF-7-transfected cells and the tumor volume.RESULTS: The MVD was 16 ±6, 98 ±21, 56± 18, and 52 ± 19 in each visual field in the MCF-7 xenografts group, control group, genstein treatment group and anti-HER-2/neu antibody treatment group recpectively. MVD and VEGF expression in MCF-7/HER-2 xenografts were higher than that in MCF-7 xenografts, and was reduced after treatment with genistein or anti-HER-2/neu antibody. The changes of tumor volume in these xenografts were consistent with the changes of MVD and VEGF.CONCLUSION: HER-2/neu overexpression in breast cancer promotes angiogenesis, and genistein can inhibit angiogenesis and growth of HER-2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer to improve the prognosis.

Objective: To observe the effects of taurine (Tau) on photoreceptor apoptosis and investigate the mechanism. Method: Seventy rats were randomly divided into control group (Cont) and 4% taurine supplementation group (Tau). The subjects were exposed to the cool white light (3000?200 lx)for 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24 h . The apoptotic index (AI) of photoreceptor was evaluated by TUNEL method. Meanwhile, levels of p65 in nuclear and caspase-1 were determined by Western-blot analysis and I?Ba mRNA was detected by RT-PCR . Results: After 9 h exposure, scattered TUNEL positive photoreceptors were found in Tau group, and each AI was lower than the corresponding control (P

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of genistein in the growth inhibition in the tumor angiogenesis. Methods The effects of genistein and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) on the proliferation of ECV304 cells were observed by cell growth curves and flow cytometry. The level of the phosphorylation of VEGFR and the activity of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) in ECV304 cells were detected by immunoprecipitation and kinase activity analysis. Results Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) alone could facilitate the proliferation of ECV304 cells, up regulate the phosphorylation and PTK activity of VEGFR, but genistein alone could inhibit the growth of ECV304 cells, stop the cell cycle mainly at the phase of G 2/M, induce apoptosis, and down regulate the phosphorylation and PTK activity of VEGFR ( P

After murine fetal liver cells (FLC) were transfected with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene by recombinant adenovirus and intrasplenically transplanted into allogeneic mice, the effects of GM-CSF gene-transfected FLC on the recovery of immune response inhibited by chemotherapy were observed. The number of CD4 + cells and the ratio of CD4 + /CDS + cells from peripheral blood lymphocytes increased significantly. The cytotoxicity of the NK cells and the proliferation response of splenocytes to ConA, LPS elevated markedly, but the same results were not from bone marrow. These data demonstrated that intrasplenic transplantation of GM-CSF gene-transfected FLC could effectively accelerate the recovery of immune response after high-dose chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ?-lactamase genes and virulence gene in Escherichia coli isolated from the old patients.METHODS Twenty strains of E. coli were selected to test 15 kinds of ?-lactamase genes (TEM,SHV,CTX-M-1 group,CTX-M-2 group,CTX-M-9 group,OXA-1 group,OXA-2 group,OXA-10 group,PER,GES,VEB/CEF,CARB,DHA,ACT/MIR and LAT/CMY) and two virulence genes (CNF-1 and CNF-2).RESULTS Six ?-lactamase genes and one virulence gene have been found out from these 20 strains of E. coli. The results showed that there were 14,3,1,5,2,2 and 1 strain which carried TEM,SHV,CTX-M-1 group,OXA-1 group,DHA,ACT/MIR and CNF-1,respectively. These 20 E. coli strains contained at least 1 ?-lactamase gene and 7 E. coli strains were found containing more than 2 kinds of ?-lactamase at the same time.CONCLUSIONS The resistance of these 20 E. coli strains to ?-lactam antibiotics is closely relative to ?-lactamase.
