2. Impact of taxanes on androgen receptor signaling
Asian Journal of Andrology 2019;21(3):249-252
The development and progression of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is the major challenge in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. The androgen receptor signaling pathway remains active in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Docetaxel and cabazitaxel are the first- and second-line chemotherapy, respectively, for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. These two taxanes, in general, function by (i) inhibiting mitosis and inducing apoptosis and (ii) preventing microtubule-dependent cargo trafficking. In prostate cancer, taxanes have been reported to inhibit the nuclear translocation and activity of the androgen receptor. However, whether this is attainable or not clinically remains controversial. In this review, we will provide a comprehensive view of the effects of taxanes on androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer.

Objective To study effect and its possible mechanism of total glucosides of paeony ( TGP ) on adriamycin-induced nephropathy rats.Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group ( CON) , adriamycin-induced nephropathy group ( ADRN) and TGP-treated ADRN group (TGP).The rat nephropathy model was established by adriamycin injection.At the end of the 8th week after treatment, ELISA was used to detect the level of Cr and BUN.The values of 24 urine protein was determined by urinary protein kit.Masson staining was used to observe the fibrosis.RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 .Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the content of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1.ResuIts Compared with the CON group, the level of Cr, BUN, 24 urine protein of ADRN group rised(P<0.01), the degree of fibrosis of ADRN group were aggravated(P<0.01), and the expressions of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 of ADRN group increased significantly.However, compared with ADRN group, the(P<0.01) level of Cr, BUN, 24 urine protein of TGP-treated rats reduced(P<0.01), the degree of fibrosis of TGP-treated rats eased(P<0.05), and the expressions of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 of TGP-treated rats decreased significantly.ConcIusion TGP retards the process of fibrosis and reduces the pathological damage in adriamycin-induced rats by down-regulating the expression of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 signaling.

Objective To study effects of bivalirudin and heparin plus tirofiban on plasma P-selectin in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compare the clinical effects on bleeding and thrombosis.Methods 260 hospitalized patients with acute STEMI who accepted emergency PCI were enrolled in the study.They were randomly divided into the bivalirudin group (129 cases) and the heparin plus tirofiban group (131 cases).Blood samples were taken before operation,during operation (about 20 minutes after medicacion injection) and after operation (three hours after the end of operation).Serum P-selectin levels were measured.All patients were followed-up for 30 days.The main events included hemorrhage within 30 days,acquired thrombocytopenia and stent thrombosis.Results The level of P-selectin increased significantly in the heparin group during operation compared to the preoperative level and remained statistically higher at three hours after the end of operation than preoperative level (P < 0.05).Compared with preoperative level,the P-selectin level of the bivalirudin group was significantly lower than that of heparin group (P < 0.05).After 30 days of follow-up,bivalirudin had lower rates bleeding events compared to the heparin group(5.4% vs.15.3%,P =0.009).The need of medical intervention for bleeding events (BRAC2-5 hemorrhage) was less in the bivalirudin group(0.8% vs.5.3%,P =0.029).There was no significant difference in the major bleeding events between the 2 groups (BRAC3-5 hemorrhage) (0 vs.0.8%,P =0.32).No significant difference found between the two groups in acquired thrombocytopenia (P > 0.05).Conclusion Bivalirudin may reduce P-selectin levels in STEMI patients undergone emergency PCI during perioperative period.Heparin increases perioperative P-selectin.Bivalirudin may reduce the bleeding events.
