Objective:To investigate the effect of afatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on the proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of human breast cell lines, and compare its effects with those of gefitinib. Methods:Three human breast cell lines, MCF-7, T47D, and MDA-MB-231, were cultured as cell models. A methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay was utilized to measure cell viability. Flow cytometer was used to analyze the cell cycle arrest (PI staining) and apoptosis rates (Annexin-V/PI staining). The protein expression was detected by Western blot analysis. Results:The proliferation of three human breast cell lines was significantly inhibited by afatinib, and the IC50 levels of MCF-7, T47D, and MDA-MB-231 were 0.101, 0.141, and 0.887μmol/L, respectively. The G0/G1 phase cell ratio increased con-siderably 24 h after afatinib was added to T47D or MDA-MB-231. The cell apoptosis rate also increased in the two cell lines (88.9%and 58.1%). The cleavage of apoptosis pathway proteins PARP and caspase-3 was also promoted by afatinib. Phosphorylation of EGFR was significantly inhibited by afatinib in the MDA-MB-231 cell line. Finally, the inhibition effect of afatinib was stronger than that of gefi-tinib. Conclusion: Afatinib could significantly inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells and promote apoptosis. The effect was dose-dependent. Afatinib was a more effective tyrosine kinase inhibitor as compared with gefitinib.

Objective To examine the clinical features and long - term outcome of pediatric IgA nephropathy and to explore the clinical effect of Mycophenolate Mofetil(MMF)and Cyclophosphomide(CTX)in children with IgA nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome(NS). Methods A single - centre,retrospective,observational study of 115 chil-dren with IgA nephropathy from 2004 to 2013 in Pediatric Nephrology of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University was conducted. Demographic and clinical data were reviewed retrospectively for age,sex,medical history,presenting symptoms,medications,follow - up duration and the responsiveness to treatment. Results In all children,NS occurred in 20(17. 4% ). There were 35 patients(30. 4% )with non - NS and 60 patients(52. 2% )with isolated hematuria. No special treatment in patients with IgA nephropathy with isolated hematuria. Among patients with proteinuria less than 20 mg/(kg·d),12 patients were treated with angiotensin - converting - enzyme - inhibitor(ACEI),8 patients were trea-ted with ACEI and corticosteroid. At all time points,mean proteinuria was significantly decreased in ACEI and cortico-steroid group compared with ACEI group(P ﹤ 0. 001). Patients with 20 - 49 mg/(kg·d)proteinuria were treated with ACEI and corticosteroid. At all time points,mean proteinuria was significantly decreased compared with the prior time point. Patients with NS were treated with MMF and corticosteroid or CTX and corticosteroid. Eleven patients were trea-ted with MMF,9 patients were treated with CTX. A significantly difference was seen after 3 months in proteinuria greater decrease from pretreatment in CTX group than those in MMF group(P ﹤ 0. 001). No significant difference in proteinuria was observed at other time point. No significant change in white blood cell count was observed in MMF group and CTX group. No serious complication developed in any patient during treatment. During the median follow - up of 35. 2 months (range 4. 0 - 124. 6 months),no patient progressed to end stage renal disease. Conclusions IgA nephropathy patients with isolated hematuria should be long - term followed up. Children with non - nephrotic - range proteinuria should be treated with ACEI or corticosteroid. Patients with NS should be treated with corticosteroid and MMF or CTX. The long -term prognosis within 3 - 5 years should be good if proteinuria within normal range in pediatric IgA nephropathy pa-tients.
