Cancer Research and Clinic 2012;24(4):232-234
Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of p170、GST-π 、TOPO Ⅱ and the expression of Her-2 in human breast cancer. Methods The expression of Her-2 was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization.The expression of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ were tested in 48 breast cancer by immunohistochemical SP method,and their correlations with clinicopathological features and the expression of Her-2 were analyzed.Results The positive rate of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ were 43.8 %(21/48),39.6 %(19/48),56.3 %(27/48),respectively. The expression of p170, GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ positively correlated with the expression of Her-2(P< 0.05).The levels of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ expression were not associated with age,primary tumor and lymph node metastasis(P > 0.05).Conclusion There is great possibility of chemotherapy drug resistance in breast cancer with expression of Her-2.Expressions of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ and Her-2 have an instructive significance for chemotherapy.

Journal of International Oncology 2013;(1):25-28
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancers which have exclusive pathological and molecular biological characteristics.TNBC's chief feature is early recurrence,rapidly progressive and poor prognosis.Operation,chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the major therapies for TNBC.In recent years,with the developing of the research,new chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapies are applied to clinical therapy gradually.

Objective To investigate the effect of 18F-fluoro-deoxy-2-glucose hybrid positron emission tomography images combined CT image(I8F-FDG PET-CT) on gross target volumes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Forty six patients with pathological defined NSCLC were included in the study. All patients were divided into three groups according to image features; lymphatic metastasis group(18 cases) , ate-lectasis group( 16 cases) , solitary focus group(12 cases). The gross target volumes by CT and by PET-CT (GTVct and GTVPET_CT)were compared with volume differentials and coherence. We also compared the coherence among the three groups. Results The median GTVCT and median GTVPET-CT of atelectasis group was 160.813 cm3 and 108.838 cm3(t = 13.592,P<0.05). The median GTVCT and median GTVPET-CT of lymphatic metastasis group was 65.233 cm3 and 84. 367cm3 (t = 2. 768, P < 0.05 ). In the solitary focus group , median GTVCT was 21.7 cm3,and median GTVPET-CT was 19.6 cm3 (t =0. 684,P >0.05). There was statistic difference in coherence among the three groups (lymphatic metastasis group 0.561, atelectasis group 0. 698, solitary focus group 0.740). Conclusion There are varying degrees of difference between GTVCT and GTVPET-CT in both volume differentials and coherence . Compared to CT, PET-CT could improve the accuracy of radio-therapy. Patients with lymphatic metastasis would most likely benefit from it.

Objective: To investigate the effect of helper T cells (Th1 and Th2) and its important significance in judging prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods: Interferon-? (INF-?) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in plasma and pleural effusion were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay in patients with advanced lung cancer, IFN-? and IL-4 reflected activity of Thl and Th2 respectively. Results: The activity of Th1 in patients with advanced lung cancer was lower than that in normal persons in peripheral blood. For non-outstanding curative effect or progressive state of illness, the activity of Thl in patients of above 1 year survival time decreased in post-treatment than in pretreatment, the activity of Th2 increased in post-treatment. Conclusion: Activity of Helper T cells ( Th1, Th2 ) could be an important marker to diagnose lung cancer and judge prognosis in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the changes in serum CD44v6/v EGF(sCD44v6/sVEGF)levels after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients and to analyze the correlation of serum markers with patients'prognosis. Methods: The sCD44v6/v EGF levels were detected by ELISA in 50 inoperable NSCLC patients before and after concurrent chemorediotherapy. Results: The sCD44v6 and sVEGF levels before treatment was significantly higher than that in the control group.The pre-treatment sVEGF level was closely related to cTNM stage.metastasis,cell differentiation and primary tumor size,but was not correlated with histological classification,lymph node status,age or gender.The pre-treatment sCD44v6 level was closely correlated with cTNM stage,metastasis,cell differentiation,and primary tumor size,but was not correlated with histological classification,age or gender.Patients'sCD44v6 before treatment(570.89±63.30 ng/L)was significantly higher than that after treatment(281.44±74.28 ng/L).Patients'sVEGF before treatment(241.09±85.96 ng/L)was significantly higher than that after treatment(133.64±67.69 ng/L).PD patients had the highest level of sCD44v6 and sVEGF and CR patients had the lowest sCD44v6 and sVEGF level.The sVEGF level was highly correlated with sCD44v6(r=0.291,P<0.05).Conclusion:The sCD44v6 and sVEGF levels might be helpful for evaluation of the biological behavior and prognosis of NSCLC.

Background and purpose:Chemotherapy is an alternative treatment option, which could still get a therapeutic effect, when the EGFR-TKI treatment of non-small cell lung cancer failed. Studies have shown that RR, TYMS, ERCC1 and TUBB3 have respectively relationship with chemosensitivity of gemcitabine, pemetrexed, platinum-based drugs and microtubule-based chemotherapy drugs.The expression levels of these molecular markers can predict the sensitivity of these chemotherapy drugs. The patients with RRMI, TS, ERCC1 and TUBB3 higher expression have reduced chemosensitivity, and lower expression have increased sensitivity. The purpose of this study was to explore the sensitivity of tumor cell lines with acquired resistance to geiftinib caused byEGFR-T790M mutation to cisplatin, gemcitabine, pemetrexed, vinorelbine, paclitaxel and docetaxel.Methods:MTT assay was used to detect the IC50 values of cisplatin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel and docetaxel, pemetrexed to PC9 and PC9/GR cells, and to explore the chemosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells to these chemotherapy drugs; Luminex method was used respectively to detect the expression levels of ERCC1 mRNA, TUBB3 mRNA, TS mRNA, and RRM1 mRNA in PC9 and PC9/GR cells. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of ERCC1, TUBB3, TS and RRM1 in PC9 and PC9/GR cells.Results: The IC50 values of cisplatin, gemcitabine and pemetrexed to PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly higher than those to PC9 cells (P<0.05), while the IC50 values of vinorelbine, paclitaxe and docetaxel to PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Luminex method showed the expressions of ERCC1 mRNA, TS mRNA and RRM1 mRNA in PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly increased than those in PC9 cells (P<0.05), while the expression of TUBB3 mRNA was signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Western blot method showed the expressions of TUBB3, TS and RRM1 protein in PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly increased than those in PC9 cells (P<0.05), while TUBB3 protein expression in PC9/GR cells was signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Western blot method analysis result showed that the expressions of TUBB3, TS and RRM1 protein in PC9/GR cells were significantly increased than those in PC9 cells (P<0.05), while TUBB3 protein expression in PC9/GR cells was signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion:The chemosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR-T790M mutation is changed. It has decreased sensitivity to cisplatin, gemcitabine, pemetrexed and increased sensitivity to vinorelbine, paclitaxel and docetaxel. The reason of the change of chemosensitivity of geiftinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cell maybe related to the changes of ERCC1 mRNA, RRM1 mRNA and TS mRNA and their protein expressions.
