大豆异黄酮在不同的雌激素环境下对MMTV-erbB-2转基因小鼠的作用

Objective To investigate the effect of the soybean isoflavones at different estrogen environments on the pathogenesis of breast cancer in MMTV-erbB-2 transgenic mice. Methods 150 fiveweek-old MMTV-erbB-2 transgenic female mice were phosen and divided into five groups; control group,low estrogen group 1, low estrogen group 2, high estrogen group 1 and high estrogen group 2.

Results The incidence of breast cancer in control group, low estrogen group 1, low estrogen group 2, high estrogen group 1 and high estrogen group 2 was 73. 3% , 96. 7% ,30. 3% , 40. 0% and 83. 3% , respectively, with the difference being not significant between control group and high estrogen group 2, and between low estrogen group 1 and high estrogen group 2 (P ＞ 0. 05 ) , but with the difference being significant among the other groups (P ＜ 0. 05 ). There was significant difference in the average latent period of breast cancer among all groups (P ＞ 0. 05 ). There was significant difference in the number of TEB between low-estrogen group 1 and other groups (P ＜ 0.05). There was significant difference in the erbB-2 expression among the groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). There was no significant difference in the expression of breast ER and PR between control group and other groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The PCNA expression in breast tumor tissue in low-estrogen group 1 was significantly higher than other groups (P ＜0. 05) , and there was significant difference in the PCNA expression between control group and high estrogen group 2, between low estrogen group 1 and high estrogen group 2 (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion The soybean isoflavones at different estrogen environments play different roles in the occurrence and development of MMTV-erbb-2 transgenic mouse mammary tumor. In the context of low estrogen, soybean isoflavones could even promote breast cancer formation and development. In the context of high estrogen, soybean isoflavones could inhibit breast cancer and development.

125碘标记17α-乙烯雌二醇-3-醋酸酯在 荷人乳腺癌裸鼠体内生物学分布△

Biodistribution of　¹²⁵I-labeled 17α-vinyestradiol-3-acetate (¹²⁵I-VE₂A)in nude mice bearing human breast cancer containing different estrogen receptor (ER) content was studied to understand the relation between this compound and ER and, consequently, to develop the ER imaging. Each mouse was injected with 92.5 kBq tracer from tail vein and then killed after two hours. The radioactivity uptake rate in one gram of tumor tissue and tissues from other vital organs were measured, and the radioactivity uptake ratio of tumor to non-tumor tissue was also measured. Results The radioactivity uptake rate and the radioactivity uptake ratio of tumor to non-tumor tissue in ER positive tumor (MCF-7) were much higher than those in ER negative tumor (MDA-MB-231). Conclusions This compound, IVE₂A has affinity to ER positive target organ or tumor and promise the probability to define the content and site of ER in vivo or in tumor.

Expression and significance of estrogen receptor α and β in prostate cancer and peri-cancer tissue

Objective To investigate the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) α and β in human prostate cancer (PC), peri-cancer tissue and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissue, and to discuss the role of estrogen receptor in prostate cancer. Methods The expression of ERα and ERβ in PC (n=28), peri-cancer tissue (n=28) and BPH (n=29) were detected by immunohistochemistry with En vision method. The ERα and ERβ expression were compared among different tissues by chisquare. The relationship between ER expression and related clinicopathologic features was statistically analyzed by spearman rank collection. Results ERα was localized dominantly in the stromal cell of PC. There were significant differences of the expression of ERα in PC, peri-cancer tissue and BPH tissue (epithelial cell 0%, 14%, 24%, P＜0. 05; stromal cell 57%, 68%, 31%,P＜0. 05). ERβ was localized in both epithelial and stromal cell of PC. There were significant differences of the expression of ERβ in PC, peri-cancer tissue and BPH tissue (epithelial cell 39%, 64%, 29%, P＜0.01; stromal cell 50%, 75%, 79%, P＜0.05). There was a significant difference of the expression of ERβ in different Gleason scores of PC tissue. Conclusions ERα is localized in the stromal cell of PC tissue.ERβ is localized in both epithelial and stromal cell of PC tissue. The ERβ might be related to the tumor differentiation of PC.

AdKDR-CDglyTK融合基因系统治疗胰腺癌的实验研究

Objective To investigate the curative effect of the adenovirus-mediated fusion gene system driven by KDR promoter (AdKDR-CDglyTK) on a model of pancreatic cancer. Methods By using transplantation of the cultivated cells, human pancreatic cell line Capan-2 was injected subcutaneously on the back of nude mice to establish the animal model of the pancreatic cancer. Twenty nude mice were divided randomly and equally into four groups. The mice in group Ⅰ were injected with AdKDR-CDglyTK and 5-FC/GCV, those in group Ⅱ were injected with 5-FC/GCV, those in group Ⅲwere injected with AdKDR-CDglyTK and those in group Ⅳ received no any injection. AdKDR-CDglyTK was injected directly into the tumor and 5-FC/GCV was given by intraperitoneal injection. The observing parameters included common status, tumor bulk, tumor weight, inhibition rate of tumor growth, pathology, immunohistochemistry and treatment effect in each group. Electron microscopy was performed to observe the pathological changes of cells. The apoptotic cells in tumor were detected using the TUNEL assay. The expression of CDglyTK in tumors from each group was examined by RT-PCR. Results Tumor growth was dramatically inhibited in group Ⅰ. Tumor growth has no significant difference among groupⅡ , group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ. The apoptotic rate (34.20±4.60)% was significantly increased in group Ⅰ (F= 243. 22, P= 0. 00) and it had no significant difference among groupⅡ , group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ (P＞0.05). Conclusion AdKDR-CDglyTK with 5-FC/GCV can obviously inhibit the growth of human KDR-expressing pancreatic cell line Capan-2 and induce the cell apoptosis in vivo. The probable molecular mechanism lies in the facts that the system can cause a decline in the level of Bcl-2.

增生性瘢痕组织中褪黑素受体的表达

Objective To investigate the expression and its significance of melatonin receptor in human hypertrophic scarring. Methods The expression of melatonin receptor GPR50 was detected with immunohistochemistiy and the melatonin receptors( MT1 、MT2)mRNA were assessed with RT-PCR method in 10 cases of human hypertrophic scar and normal skin. The positive production was sequenced with auto sequencing instrument. Results Positive signals of melatonin receptor could be found in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. The melatonin receptor GPR50 was located in the epithelial basal cells, sweat gland cells and hair follicle in both hypertrophic scar and normal skin. The melatonin receptor GPR50 was extensively expressed in fibroblasts of hypertrophic scar, but not in fibroblasts in normal skin. RT-PCR showed that the expression of melatonin receptor( MT1, MT2 ) mRNA in hypertrophic scar was significantly higher than that in normal skin( P <0. 05). In normal skin and hypertrophic scar group, the expression of MT1 mRNA was higher than MT2 mRNA ( P < 0. 05 ) . In normal skin and hypertrophic scar group, the expression of MT1 mRNA was 0.99081 ±0.26485 and 1.16584 ±0.21829 copy number/μl cDNA, respectively;the expression of MT2 mRNA was 0. 77083 ±0. 15927and 0. 99550 ±0. 14624 copy number/ μl cDNA, respectively. Sequencing results indicated that the positive product coincided with cDNA of human melatonin receptor in GeneBank. Conclusions Positive expression of melatonin receptor can be found in human hypertrophic scar and normal skin, but it is higher in scar. The over expression of melatonin receptor in hypertrophic scar may be related to the development of hypertrophic scar.

The pathological changes in tumor tissues and apoptotic index of tumor cells were observed. The expression of the CD gene in tumor tissues was detected by fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Results The number of metastatic nodules and liver metas-tasis rate were 4.6±1.3 and 100.0% in control group, 2.2±1.0 and 60.0% in 5-FC group, 0.5±0.8 and 13.3% in 5-FC thermotherapy group, with statistical difference among the 3 groups (F=25.898, χ2=5.208, 19.548, 5.168, P<0.05). The mean apoptotic indexes of tumor cells of the 3 groups were 4.6%, 9.9% and 17.4%, respectively. Vacuolar degeneration, cell necrosis, cytolysis and apoptotic bodies were mostly observed in the 5-FC thermotherapy group. The expression of CD gene in tumor tissue was detected in all the groups. Conclusion Tissue specific CD/5-FC thermotherapy has inhibitory effects on the hepatic metastasis of LoVo cells transfected with CD gene.
