Tumor 2017;37(8):824-830
Objective: To investigate the effects of AZD5363, an inhibitor of protein kinase B (Akt), on proliferation, migration and apoptosis of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, and to further clarify their possible molecular mechanisms Methods: After treatment with different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 μmol/L) of AZD5363, the viability of MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by MTT assay, the cell cycle distribution was analyzed by FCM, the cell migration ability was detected by wound healing test and Transwell chamber assay, the cell apoptosis rate was detected by TUNEL method. Then the expression levels of cell cycle- and apoptosis-related proteins were measured by Western blotting. Results: AZD5363 suppressed the cell viability in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), and arrested the cell cycle progression at S phase by up-regulating the expression of p53 and down-regulating the expression of cyclin B1 (all P < 0.05). AZD5363 significantly inhibited the cell migration (P < 0.05), and induced the cell apoptosis (P < 0.05) by activating caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) proteins (both P < 0.05). Conclusion: AZD5363 can inhibit cell activity and migration, and induce apoptosis of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-2 31, thereby exhibiting its anticancer activity.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of VP1 gene hypervariable region in hu-man enterovirus type 68(HEV68)strains isolated in China. Methods Nucleotide sequences of the VP1 gene in the Chinese strains and strains isolated in other countries were aligned by using Clustal W in the MEGA6 program. The phylogenetic trees were constructed by using Neighbor-Joining(NJ)method in the MEGA6 program. Sequence of the amino acids encoded by that region was analyzed by compared with that of the standard strain Fermon. Results A total of 80 strains of EV68 had been isolated in China by the end of 2015. Most of the mutations occurred in BC and DE loops. The mutation sites lied in the VP1 gene of Chi-nese isolates were at 83,89,91,94,96,97,98,102,109,139,141,142,143,144 and 147. Glycine was missing from most of the amino acid sequences encoded by the VP1 gene of Chinese strains. The phylo-genetic analysis indicated that 53 and 21 EV68 strains isolated in China belonged to B and C clades,respec-tively. Conclusion Compared with the standard strain Fermon,the Chinese strains changed a lot in BC-loop and DE-loop,which were associated with the antigenicity and virulence of EV68. The EV68 strains iso-lated in China belonged to B and C clades.

Objective To study the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis and gastrointestinal bleeding in primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors ( GIST ) . Methods The clinicopathological and follow?up data of 200 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated in our hospital from April 2008 to December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The correlation of gastrointestinal bleeding with gastrointestinal stromal tumor clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis were analyzed. Results The 200 GIST patients were divided into two groups according to the bleeding in the digestive tract, including 57 gastrointestinal bleeding patients and 143 non?bleeding patients. The mean tumor diameter was 6.5 cm (range 1.8?22 cm) in the bleeding group and 2.5 cm (range 0.4?18 cm) in the non?bleeding group ( P<0.05) . Of the 57 bleeding patients, 31 located in the stomach, 25 in the small intestine, and one had colorectal bleeding. Fifty patients had mitotic index ( MI) ≤5/50 HPF, other 6 patients ranged between 5 and 10/50 HPF and one patient had MI >10/50 HPF. Six GIST patients were complicated with tumor rapture. But in the non?bleeding group, 125 patients had gastric GIST, 8 in the small intestine, one colorectum, and 9 had esophageal or other GIST. 141 patients had MI ≤5/50 HPF, 1 patients ranged between 5 and 10/50 HPF and one patient had MI>10/50 HPF. Only 1 GIST patients was complicated with tumor rapture. The gastrointestinal bleeding was closely associated with tumor size, mitotic index, tumor location, risk classifications, tumor rapture and tumor recurrence (P<0.05 for all). The 3?year and 5?year survival rates of the 200 patients were 96.5% and 86.8%, respectively. 16 patients developed recurrence or metastasis, and 11 died of GIST. The 5?year survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding was 76.2%, significantly lower than that of patients without gastrointestinal bleeding ( 91. 6%, P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions GIST patients complicated with gastrointestinal bleeding have poor prognosis, and attention should be paid to stratifying patients for therapy.
