Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
Objective To explore the mechanism of the reversal of breast cancer resistant protein-mediated multidrug resistance by 17?-estradiol. Methods Two BCRP expressing cell lines of MCF-7/MX20 and MCF-7/BCRP were established in which breast canrcer resistant protein(BCRP) was promoted by BCRP promoter and cytomegalovirus(CMV) promoter respectively.These drug resistant cell lines were cultured in medium containing 17?-estradiol.Fourty-eight hours later,cytotoxicity assay,mitoxantrone efflux assays,quantitative RT-PCR were performed to observe the reversal function of BCRP by 17?-estradiol on MCF-7/MX20 and MCF-7/BCRP respectively. Results After being treated with 17?-estradiol,the intensity of mitoxantrone in MCF-7/BCRP was weaker than that in MCF-7/MX20 and the BCRP mRNA level in MCF-7/BCRP was high than that in MCF-7/MX20.The results of these experiments revealed that 17?-estradiol could reverse the BCRP mediated multidrug resistance(MDR) in MCF-7/MX20 cells but not in MCF-7/BCRP ones.Conclusion 17?-estradiol may reverse the phenotype of BCRP through regulation of the promoter of BCRP gene but not acted as the substrate of BCRP.

Objective To explore the surgical indication, the operative procedure and effect of breast-conserving surgery plus combined treatment for the patients with early breast cancer. Methods 51 patients with early breast cancer were treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) plus radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonotherapy postoperatively. The result of breast-conserving group was compared with 56 patients treated by modified radical mastectomy (control group). Results 25 patients underwent quadrant resection plus axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), 15 patients were subjected to local resection plus ALND, and 11 patients received quadrant resection only. All patients were followed-up for an average of 16.9 months. In BCS group, one patient was found to have local recurrence, and the distant metastasis rate was 0%. In the control group, no patient had local recurrence and the distant metastasis rate was 3.6%. The operative complication rate in BCS group and control group was 13.7% and 33.9% respectively (p﹤0.05). Conclusion Breast-conserving surgery plus combined treatment is safe and satisfactory for early breast cancer. It can be considered as the first choice for the treatment of patients with breast cancer in early stage.

Purpose To study the effect and mechanism of miR-199a-5p on the invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Meth-ods miR-199a-5p mimic was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells. Influence of miR-199a-5p on the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cell was displayed by Transwell, the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT) molecular markers ( E-cadherin, vimentin) regulated by miR-199a-5p was determined using immunofluorescence and Western blot. Western blot was employed to assess the levels of ERK5, pERK5, EGF and SP1 in MDA-MB-231 cells dealt with miR-199a-5p mimic and LNA-siRNA. Chromatin immunoprecipita-tion (CHIP) was applied for displaying the reaction of SP1 with ERK5 promoter. Results miR-199a-5p could inhibit the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells, decrease the expression of vimentin and enhance E-cadherin. Meanwhile, miR-199a-5p decreased the expression of ERK5 and pERK5, the levels of EGF and SP1 were also downregulated. On the contrary, the levels of EGF, SP1, ERK5 and pERK5 were enhanced by employing LNA-siRNA targeting miR-199a-5p. SP1 could bind with ERK5 promoter. Conclusions miR-199a-5p could reduce the expression of ERK5 and pERK5 through regulating EGF and SP1, which functioning the inhibitory effect on invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a serious complication which may cause organ failure and death in patients with acute pancreatitis. Surgical debridement is an important therapeutic approach for IPN. With the development of evidence-based medicine, more and more high-level evidences emerge for surgical debridement of pancreatic necrosis tissue, and the traditional treatment strategy has also changed. In the era of minimally invasive surgery, whether 'delayed surgery' should still be executed and how to achieve 'delayed surgery' are the research hotspots in the treatment of IPN. Research evidences reveal that the 'step-up' strategy is not the best strategy for all IPN patients, and alternatives should be explored. In addition, the indications, advantages and disadvantages of open surgery, surgical minimally invasive surgery and endoscopic surgical debridement of pancreatic necrosis tissue have been widely discussed in recent years, and no consensus has yet been reached. At present, the personalized, multidisciplinary, and minimally invasive treatment of IPN is still the mainstream development direction. The authors investigate the timing and strategy of surgical treatment for IPN in order to provide theoretical basis for clinical practice.

Purpose To investigate the expressions of PKCζ, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in breast cancer and the relationship with the inva-sion and metastasis of breast cancer. Methods The expression of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 100 cases with breast cancer was as-sessed with immunohistochemistry PV 9000 method. PKCζ-siRNA was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cell lines, called siPKCζ/MDA-MB-231. While siRNA construct containing a scrambled sequence was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells to generate control cells, which were designated as Scr/MDA231 cells. Western blotting was used to measure the expression of PKCζ in transfected cells, and the Transwell invasion assay was used to detect the invasion ability in vitro. The content of MMP-2, MMP-9 were measured by ELISA. Results The expression rates of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in breast cancer tissues were 62.5%, 37.5% and 32.5%, and there were significant differences among them (P<0.05). The expression of PKCζwas much higher than those in the normal breast tissues nearby. The expression of PKC protein was assoiated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis (P<0.01), but was not correla-ted with other clinicopathologic parameters, such as age, tumor size, histological type, ER, PR, and so on (P>0.05). The expres-sion of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were lower in siPKCζ/ MDA-MB-231 group than those in scr/ MDA-MB-231 group, and the in vitro invasion ability was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions PKCζ can promote the invasion and metastasis of breast canc-er, and correlated with the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9(P<0.05).
