Objective:To analyze the inhibiting mechanism of microRNA-199a/b-3p(miR-199)on cell proliferation of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)cells.Methods:Expression of miR199 in BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with miR-199a/b-3p was detected by qRT-PCR.The proliferation of BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with miR-199 were analysed by MTT as-say.Cell cycle of TNBC cells transfected with miR-199 was detected by Flow Cytometry assay.Results:MiR-199a/b-3p could suppress the proliferation of BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells.Comparing with normal control,the proliferation rate were up to(41.02±2.34)%and(28.42 ±6.70 )%,and the cell cycle were arrest at G 1 phase.Conclusion: MiR-199a/b-3p could suppress the proliferation of TNBC,and may be a promising anti-cancer drug for TNBC.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of a new variety of Sambucus williamsii Hance Yandan on the healing in rats with fractures. METHODS SD rats were randomly allocated to sham surgery group, model group, Zhonghua dieda pill group (0.54 g/kg), wild S. williamsii group (5.4 g/kg, using raw drug dosage), and high-, medium-, and low-dose groups of Yandan (10.8, 5.4, 2.7 g/kg, using raw drug dosage), with 12 rats in each group. Except for the sham surgery group, the remaining groups were prepared with a femoral fracture model. Starting from the second day after surgery, each group was intubated with the corresponding drugs and distilled water once daily for 8 consecutive weeks. At 2, 4, and 8 weeks after administration, the levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) in rat serum were detected. Micro-CT scanning was used to evaluate the morphology and bone microstructural parameters of the fractured femur [bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th)], and hematoxylin-eosin staining was adopted to observe the morphological changes at the bone fracture site. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the levels of calcium in rat serum were significantly decreased (except at 4 weeks after administration), and the levels of phosphorus, ALP, and OCN were significantly increased (P<0.05) at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after administration in the high- dose group of Yandan; bone callus formation, connection of fracture ends, gradual blurring or disappearance of the fracture line, and opening of the marrow cavity were observed in the bone repair process, and a large amount of granulation tissue, fibroblasts, chondrocytes, new trabeculae, and new bone plates were visible at the fracture site of bone tissue; after 8 weeks of administration, BMD, BV/TV, Tb.N, and Tb.Th were significantly increased, and Tb.Sp was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Most of the above indicators in the wild S. williamsii Hance group showed no significant changes. CONCLUSIONS Yandan has the effect of promoting fracture healing in rats, and its effect is superior to that of wild S. williamsii.
