ABSTRACT
Objective To clarify the significance of RNF180 expression in carcinogenesis and progression of prostate cancer by detection of RNF180 promoter methylation. Methods RNF180 expression was detected in human prostate cancer cell lines(PC3,LNCap,and DU145)and normal prostate cells(RWPE?1)via Western blotting,RT?PCR,methylation?specific PCR(MSP),bisulfite?sequeneing PCR(BSP),respectively, while RNF180 expression in human prostate cancer tissues and paired adjacent non?tumor tissue was detected via immunohistochemistry. Results The expressions of RNF180 mRNA and protein in prostate cancer cells were significantly lower than those in normal prostate cells(P<0.05),op?posite to what was observed for the methylation level of the RNF180 promoter. Additionally,the RNF180 expression in prostate cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in paired adjacent non?tumor tissue. Conclusion The RNF180 promoter is incompletely methylated in prostate can?cer cells,which may be a reason for the decline or silencing of RNF180 expression in cancer cells and tissues.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the mechanism and cause of the inactivation of tumor suppressor gene RNF180 in prostate cancer cell line by observing the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on the RNF180 gene in prostate cancer cell line DU145. Methods MTT method was adopted to study the effect of 5-Aza-CdR(0,1,2,5,10,15 and 20μmoI/L)on the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. Western blotting,real-time PCR,and methyla-tion specific PCR(MSP)were separately used to detect the expression of RNF180 in prostate cancer cells before and after the treatment of the most suitable drug concentration(5μmoI/L). Results In a certain range,the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on the proliferation of prostate cancer cell line DU145 was increased with the increase of drug concentration and the time of drug treatment(P<0.05). After the treatment of the most suitable drug concentration,the protein and mRNA expression of RNF180 in prostate cancer cells was significantly increased(P<0.05),but the methyla-tion of the promoter region was obviously decreased. Conclusion 5-Aza-CdR can reverse the methylation status of RNF180 gene in DU145 pros-tate cancer cell line,and relieve the silencing status of RNF180gene expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective to investigate the current status of preoperative anxiety level and explore the influencing factors in elderly patients with pros-tatic hyperplasia. Methods A total of 124 patients with prostatic hyperplasia were selected for the study,and the State-trait Anxiety Inventory (StAI)was analyzed using the convenience sampling method. Results the score were 55.54±4.81 for SAI,34.60±2.09 for tAI,and 90.14±5.91 for StAI. the preoperative anxiety level of patients with prostatic hyperplasia varied in different demography(P < 0.05). According to multiple lin-ear stepwise regression equation,age,cultural level,place of residence,and the medical burden are the influence factors. Conclusion the preoper-ative anxiety level of elderly patients with prostatic hyperplasia is high,and more health education is needed. It is necessary to use different psycholog-ical persuasion according to their specific situation,so as to promote their physical and mental health,and to promote the effect of postoperative recov-ery.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Recent investigations show that there are a small part of self-renewing and multi-potent cells named as tumor stem cells.Those cells share many characteristics with somatic and embryonic stem cells and are thought to be responsible for driving tumor progression in growing list of neoplastic diseases.Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)is an important angiogenesis factor,which can regulate endothelial proliferation,angiogenesis,permeability of blood vessel,and thrombogenesis.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the progress of cancer stem cells and tumor angiogenesis.METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PUMMED,CNKI,and Wanfang databases with the key words of "cancer stem cells,vascular endothelial growth factor,new vascularize" in both Chinese and English from January 2000 to October 2009.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among 153 articles,there were 13 in Chinese and 140 in English.Titles and abstracts were preliminarily screened,and articles which were non-relative(n=35),duplicated(n=30),and Meta analysis(n=57),were excluded.A total of 31 articles were included in the final analysis.Angiogenesis regulated by multiple factors was a necessary link for tumor growth and transferring.Stem cells promoted angiogenesis,thereby promoted tumor growth and transferring.However,the modified stem cells caused the opposite effects.On the other hand,the stem cells were considered as a substance vector to localize tumor focus,in particular,it will be potential for looking for subclinical focus and distal focus.
