Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2013;(1):46-50
Objective To investigate whether AZD1152 (AZD),the selective inhibitor of aurora kinase B,may play a role in the treatment of cisplatin-resistant ovarian carcinoma when administrated alone or in combination with cisplatin.Methods Hey (cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell line) cells were analyzed.According to the treatment plan,Hey cells were divided into four groups (AZD group,cisplatin group,AZD + cisplatin group and control group).Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to test the cells proliferation,caspase-3/7 activity analysis was used to analyze cells apoptosis,and fluorescence insitu hybridization (FISH) assay was used to determine the copy the number of chromosome 7 and checked the copy numbers of hTERC gene and C-myc gene.Results MTT test showed that proliferation of AZD group was lower than that in control group(P < 0.01).The cells proliferation with the treatment with 10 and 20 nmol/L AZD for 24 hours was (81.4 ± 3.6)% and (81.4 ± 3.6)% respectively,and the cells proliferation for 48 hours was (43.1 ± 2.0) % and (38.5 ± 1.6) % respectively,which was significantly lower than control group (100%,P < 0.01) ; Treated with the same concentration of AZD,inhibition of proliferation was significantly enhanced as the time extended (P < 0.01).Proliferation in group AZD+cisplatin was lower than that in cisplatin group (P < 0.01) which suggest that there were additive effects after combined AZD with cisplatin.Compared with control group,caspase-3/7 activity in AZD group increased significantly (P =0.000),and the same results was seen between AZD ± cisplatin group and cisplatin group or AZD group (all P < 0.01).Compared with cisplatin group or control group,the copy numbers of hTERC,C-myc and the number of chromosome were significantly increased in AZD group and AZD + cisplat group (all P < 0.05).Conclusions AZD could inhibite ovarian cancer cells proliferation and induce cells apoptosis significantly.AZD alone or in combination with cisplatin may result in the increased cells polyploidy.

[Objective ] Intrastriatal Parr interneurons are considered to be the junction between striatal input and output neurons. This study purposes to confirm the morphology of Parr neurons and their distribution in striatum. [Method] Adult male SD rats were perfused and the brains were removed. The sections were conducted with a semiconductor-frozen microtome, then single labeling and double labeling were immunocytochemically conducted with PAP technique. Positive neurons were observed, counted, and calculated, and analyzed with SPSS. [Results] The distribution of Parr positive neurons in striatum was inhomogeueous, and was the most dense in the dorsal lateral area (P<0.001) ; the distribution of Parr positive neurons in matrix compartment was apparently more than patch compartment (82.0% vs 18.0%, P<0.001); Parr positive neurons in striaturn were medium-sized cell bodies with polygonal or oval in shape (mean diameter is 11.68 μm), and were larger in the lateral area than that in the medial area (P<0.01) ; the positive dendrites were dense and smooth without dendrite spines; the positive axons 1 were slender and their collaterals extended in striatum. [Conclusion] The characteristic of Parr positive neurons collecting mostly in lateral striatum and matrix eompartment, as well as their traits of intemeurons, indicated that they would affect the striatal projection neuronal function.
