Aim To investigate the anti-proliferative effect of salinomycin on doxorubicin-resistant human breast cancer MCF-7 /DOX cells.Methods MCF-7 and MCF-7 /DOX cells were treated or untreated with salinomycin.Cell viability was detected by MTS assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC /PI as-say.Reactive oxygen species (ROS)was measured by DCFH-DA staining.Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured by JC-1 assay.The expression of apopto-sis related proteins BAX, BCL-2, caspase-3, and caspase-9 were evaluated by Western blot analysis. Results The cell viability was significantly reduced by salinomycin treatment in a dose-dependent manner. The flow cytometry results showed that salinomycin in-duced MCF-7 /DOX cell apoptosis,increased ROS pro-duction,and decreased mitochondrial membrane poten-tial.Furthermore,salinomycin decreased the expres-sion of BCL-2,and increased the expression of BAX, cleaved caspase-3,and cleaved caspase-9.Moreover, the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC ) markedly blocked the above effects.Conclusions Our results suggest that salinomycin-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 /DOX is associated with induction of ROS production, and activation of mitochondria apoptosis pathway, which may become a potential chemotherapeutic agent for the therapy of doxorubicin resistant breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of percutaneous eoronary intervention (PCI) on the prognosis of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (ASTEMI) in the elderly.Methods The 1318 ASTEMI patients in our hospital from June 1998 to June 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 338 (25.6%) elderly patients were over 60 years old, and 316patients consistent with inclusion and exclusion criteria were consecutively enrolled in our research.Then they were divided into two groups: PCI group (136 cases, 43.0%) and conservative drug treatment group (180 cases, 57. 0%). The clinical data of study objects were collected. Then they were followed up regularly for two years. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in mean age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, excess smoking,wine and family history (all P> 0.05). And there were no statistically significant differences in anterior wall STEMI, Killip Ⅲ-Ⅳ class, thrombolysis therapy and malignant ventricular arrhythmia (all P>0. 05). Most of the objects proceeded therapeutic lifestyle improvements, such as giving up smoking, restricting wine, regulating diet, losing weight and insisting on exercises, and so on.Secondary prevention drugs of acute myocardial infarction including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin receptors blockers, beta receptor, aspirin and statins were regularly administrated in the two follow-up years. In the retrospective research, incidence rates of reinfarction, NYHA (New York Heart Association) Ⅲ-Ⅳ class heart function and one-month mortality were much higher in conservative treatment group than in PCI group (17.2% vs. 2. 2%, OR=9. 224,95% CI: 2. 756-30. 857; 31.1% vs. 8.1%,OR=5.132, 95%CI: 2. 568-10. 257; 8. 3% vs. 1.5%,OR= 6. 091, 95% CI: 1. 369-27. 105, respectively; all P < 0. 01). Above all, one and two-year mortalities were much higher in conservative treatment group than in PCI group (21.1% vs. 2. 2 %,OR=11.864, 95%CI: 3.577-39.349; 32.2% vs. 4.4%, OR=10.301, 95%CI: 4.289-24.736,respectively; all P<0. 01). Conclusions PCI may reduce the re-infarction, NYHA Ⅲ-Ⅳ class heart function and one-month mortality, especially so in view of the one and two-year mortality. PCIcan significantly improve the prognosis of ASTEMI in the elderly.
