Objective To study the correlation of expression of DNA topoisomerase Ⅱ alpha (TOP2A)with expressions of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)and gene mutation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)in breast cancer so as to provide reference for prognosis of the cancer and evaluation of drug efficiency.Methods This study enrolled totally 96 breast cancer patients. Tumor specimens were resected.The gene expressions of TOP2A,HER2 and PTEN were analyzed using branched DNA-liquid-chip,and PI3K gene mutation was detected by xTAG-liquid-chip.Correlations between gene expressions and gene mutation were further explored by Spearman correlation analysis so as to clarify the relationship between TOP2A and HER2 signaling pathway gene.Results Co-expression of TOP2A and HER2 was strong,and TOP2A tended to be highly expressed in the presence of high expression of HER2 (P =0.01).The expression of PTEN was not significantly correlated with the expression of TOP2A,whereas the mutation of PI3K had a positive association with the high expression of TOP2A (P =0.004).Conclusion Anthracycline drug resistance factor TOP2A may be related to the critical factors of HER2 signaling pathway,suggesting that HER2 expression and PI3K mutation may be key factors in regulation of TOP2A expression,which would provide important evidence for chemotherapeutic resistance.

Objective To observe the effects of sleep deprivation(SD)on learning and memory and phos-phorylated cyclic AMP responsive element binding protein(pCREB) expression in hippocampus of mice,and to explore the mechanism of cognitive change after SD. Methods Twenty female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sleep deprivation group(SD, n = 10) and normal cage control group (CC,n = 10). Touch method was used to establish the sleep deprivation model. 30 days after SD,all the animals were subjected for Morris Water Maze (MWM) to test mean escape latency and percentage of time spent in the target quadrant. pCREB level in hippocampus was tested with Western blot. Results The mean escape latency in SD group in the second and third day of MWM was (29.31 ±4.93) s and (25.33 ±5.06)s, respectively, and was longer than that in CC group ((26.05 ±5.96)s and (19.35 ±7. 85)s,respectively). Mice in SD group spent less time in the target quadrant than that in CC group((23.61 ±9.86)% and (37.46 ±7. 51)%,.respectively, P<0.05). Results of Western blot for pCREB revealed that the pCREB level in hippocampus in sleep deprivation group was significantly lower than that in control group(0.71 ±0.03 and 0.82 ±0.06, respectively, P<0.01) . Conclusion The impairment of spatial learning and memory ability in sleep deprivation animals may be associated with the reduction of pCREB in hippocampus.

BACKGROUND:Vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor play a crucial role in embryonic development, wound healing, inflammation, cancer, ischemic hypoxia and other physiological and pathological processes, and participate in the development and progression of brain damage. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the differences in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor-α during the early phase of cerebral aneurysm formation in rats. METHODS:Twenty-eight healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups. Sham operation group (n=8): the left carotid artery bifurcation and bilateral renal artery were only exposed, without ligation, and rats were kiled that day. 15 days group (n=10) and 30 days group (n=10): the left common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, external carotid artery and bilateral renal artery were ligated, to establish aneurysm model, and rats were kiled at 15 and 30 days, respectively. The bilateral sides of the anterior cerebral artery/olfactory artery bifurcations were harvested and observed under light microscopy for pathological changes. Immunohistological staining was performed to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor-α. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results showed that, no aneurysm formed in the sham operation group and 15 days group. In the 30 days group, one saccular aneurysm and five early aneurysm-like changes were found in the right anterior cerebral artery/olfactory artery bifurcations. In the sham operation group and 15 days group, no vascular endothelial growth factor was expressed. In the 30 days group, the positive rate of vascular endothelial growth factor was up to 80%, indicating that vascular endothelial growth factor is possibly involved in the formation of aneurysm. Transforming growth factor-α expression in the sham operation group and 15 days group was more apparent than that in the 30 days group, indicating that transforming growth factor-α is damaged or secretion is reduced in this process, which was possibly related to the formation of aneurysm.
