Objective:The different subtypes of voltagE-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are known to correlate with the migration of many malignant cancers. This study was to investigate the significance of functional expression of SCN5A/Nav1.5 in human ovarian cancer and its effects on migration capability of ovarian cancer cells in vitro. Methods: Sodium indicator SBFI and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the distribution of intracellular Na+. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of SCN5A/Nav1.5. The effect of specific voltagE-gated sodium channels inhibitor tetrodotoxin (TTX) on cell viability was measured by CCK-8 kit. The migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV-3 were tested by Transwell chamber assay. Results:SCN5A/Nav1.5 were over-expressed in ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV-3 and ovarian cancer specimens at mRNA and protein levels. TTX 30 μmol/L inhibited the intracellular Na+ concentration by (41.51±0.41)%. TTX also suppressed the invasion and migration capacities of SKOV-3 cells by (33.80±1.6)% and (43.60±2.9)%, respectively. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:SCN5A/Nav1.5 is involved in the metastasis progression of ovarian cancer in vitro and plays an important role in the initiation and progression of ovarian cancer. It may become a target for ovarian cancer therapy.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are known to be involved in the initiation and progression of many malignancies, and the different subtypes of VGSCs play important roles in the metastasis cascade of many tumors. This study investigated the functional expression of Nav1.5 and its effect on invasion behavior of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. The mRNA and protein expression of Nav1.5 was detected by real time PCR, Western Blot and immunofluorescence. The effects of Nav1.5 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were respectively assessed by MTT and Transwell. The effects of Nav1.5 on the secretion of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) by MDA-MB-231 were analyzed by RT-PCR. The over-expressed Nav1.5 was present on the membrane of MDA-MB-231 cells. The invasion ability in vitro and the MMP-9 mRNA expression were respectively decreased to (47.82+/-0.53)% and (43.97+/-0.64)% (P<0.05) respectively in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with VGSCs specific inhibitor tetrodotoxin (TTX) by blocking Nav1.5 activity. It was concluded that Nav1.5 functional expression potentiated the invasive behavior of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 by increasing the secretion of MMP-9.

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical value of superficial layer coagulation of trigeminal sensory root in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. METHODS The clinical data of 5 cases with trigeminal neuralgia were studied. Head MRI (B-FFE) examinations were made before surgery and operations were performed via retrosigmoidal approach. One case with left facial pain showed 3 arteries with offsets crossing and compressing the left trigeminal nerve. Among 4 cases with right facial pain,3 cases had an artery compressing the right trigeminal and the nerve were distorted and moved from its original site,one case with an artery going with trigeminal nerve sensory root branchlets. All cases were no indications for microvascular decompression and thus were treated with surface coagulation of trigeminal nerve sensory root. RESULTS Pain disappeared instantly after operation and facial sensory were retained. All cases were followed up for 2.4 to 5 years and no recurrences were found. CONCLUSION Superficial layer coagulation of trigeminal sensory root is a safe and effective method for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

Objective To explore the relationship between MspⅠpolymorphism of CYP1A1 gene and susceptibility to breast cancer in Yi nationality in Yunnan province. Methods The gene polymorphism of restriction enzyme of 3′-terminal of CYP1A1 was detected by PCR-RFLP in 60 healthy Yi women , 51 Yi women with breast cancer, 235 healthy Han women, and 250 Han women with breast cancer. Results The distribution frequency of CYP1A1-MspⅠgenotypes was significantly higher in Yi women with breast cancer (51.0%) than in the healthy Yi women (33.3%) (P < 0.05), an the allele C had a higher frequency in women with breast cancer than in healthy controls (P < 0.05). Significant differences of frequencies were found in genotypes TT, TC and CC between women with breast cancer and healthy controls (P < 0.05). The risks of TC and CC for breast cancer were 1.19 and 1.95 folds respectively to TT genotype. But as compared with Yi women , the distribution frequency of CYP1A1-MspⅠ genotypes did not differ between Han women with breast cancer and in the healthy control (P > 0.05), and there were no differences in three genotype frequencies (P > 0.05). Conclusions Gene polymorphism of CYP1A1 genotypes may be associated with the risk of breast cancer in Yi nationality but not in Han nationality in Yunnan. The mutation of CYP1A1 gene may increase the incidence of breast cancer in Yi nationality.
