ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of sodium oxamate on the radiaosensitivity of hypoxic nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cells. Methods The production of lactate and angiotensin Ⅱ in CNE2 with or without sodium oxamate treatment was detected by lactate assay kit and angiotensin Ⅱ ELISA kit. Cell growth of hypoxic CNE2 with or without sodium oxamate treatment was measured in vitro by MTT method. Radiosensitivity of hypoxic CNE2 with or without sodium oxamate treatment was tested by clone formation assay. Results Lactate and angiotensin Ⅱ production of CNE2 cells treated with sodium oxalate was inhibited. Sodium oxalate inhibited the proliferation of hypoxic CNE2 cells. The radiosensitivity of hypoxic CNE2 cells treated with sodium oxalate was largely improved. Conclusions Sodium oxalate inhibits the proliferation of CNE2 cells in hypoxic condition and significantly enhances the radiosensitivity of hypoxic CNE2 cells. The mechanism may be involved in its inhibiting of angiotensinⅡproduction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of STC2 on invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells and its mechanism.Methods By 231 HM shRNA interference cell STC2,we observed fiber cells expressing form,number plate cloning experiment statistical analysis.Immune co-precipitation (CO-IP) for testing related protein expression.Results By 231 HM STC2 cells expressing shRNA interference,231 HM presents high transfer characteristics of fiber cell morphology,cell invasion and metastasis ability of increase at the same time;On the contrary,after 231 cells expressing STC2,cell invasion and metastasis ability induced.In addition,after reducing STC2 expression of 231 HM cells,its resistance to radiation-inducled apoptosis and expression of STC2 after 231 reduced,ability to resist radiation induced apoptosis of cells induled too.Conclusion Collectively,these results indicate that STC2 may inhibit EMT at least partially through the PKC/Claudin-1-mediated signaling in human breast cancer cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of candesartan (an angiotensin II receptor 1 antagonist,AT1R) in radioresistance of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE1 cells.Methods Cell growth of CNE1 with or without candesartan treatment was measured in vitro by MTT method;radiosensitivity of CNE1 with or without candesartan treatment was tested under normoxic or hypoxic conditions by clone formation assay.The expression of hypoxia-induced factor 1α(HIF-1α)in CNE1 cells was analysed by western blotting.Results Candesartan did not significantly inhibit the growth of CNE 1 cells in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions.Candesartan also did not influence the radiosensitivity of CNE1 cells in normoxic condition;however,it significantly increased the radiosensitivity of CNE1 cells in hypoxic condition.The expression of hypoxia-induced factor 1 α (HIF-1 α)in hypoxic CNE1 cells was significantly inhibited by candesartan treatment.Conclusion Candesartan does not significantly influence the proliferation of CNE1 cells in both normoxic and bypoxic conditions but significantly enhances the radiosensitivity of hypoxic CNE1 cells,in which the mechanisn may be involved in its inhibiting HIF1α expression in hypoxic CNE1 cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the sufentanil-sparing effect of ketorolac tromethamine for postoperative analgesia in the elderly patients.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged ≥ 65 yr,with a body mass index of 18-24 kg/m2,undergoing elective gynecological operations,were randomly divided into 2 groups(n =30 each):sufentanil group(group S)and ketorolac tromethamine plus sufentanil group(group T).Both groups received combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)after operation.PCIA solution contained ketorolac tromethamine 180 mg and sufentanil 100 μg in 100 ml of normal saline in group T.After a loading dose of ketorolac tromethamine 30 mg was injected intravenously at 15 min before the end of operation,the PCA pump was set up with a 1.6 ml bolus dose,a 20 rain lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 1.5 ml/h in group T.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 100 μg in 100 ml of normal saline in group S.After a loading dose of sufentanil 5 μg was injected intravenously at 15 min before the end of operation,the PCA pump was set up with a 1.6 ml bolus dose,a 20 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 1.5 ml/h in group S.The effective analgesia(postoperative VAS scores at rest and during activity ＜ 3)was maintained within 48 h after operation.The amount of sufentanil consumed within 48 h after operation and adverse effects were recorded.Results Compared with group S,the amount of sufentanil consumed within 48 h after operation was significantly reduced,and the incidence of nausea and vomiting,urinary retention and pruritus was significantly decreased in group T(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ketorolac tromethamine used with PCIA with sufenlanil has a significant sufentanil-sparing effecl for posloperative analgesia and improves the safety of analgesia in the elderly patients.
