ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression and relationship between miR-145-5p and multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) protein P-glycoprotein(P-gp) in colorectal cancer. Methods SP, Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of P-gp colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in 50 patients and in 30 paracancerous normal tissue patients, the effect of miR-145-5p expression on MDR1 mRNA and P-gp and the correlation between them and clinicopathological features. Results The expression level of miR-145-5p in CRC was significantly lower than that in paracancerous normal tissue, and the expression level of MDR1 mRNA and P-gp was significantly higher than that in paracancerous normal tissue (r=-0. 403, P<0. 01).MiR-145-5p could inhibit the expression of MDR1 mRNA and P-gp in HCT-15 cells(P<0. 05). Conclusion MiR-145-5p plays a regulatory role in the expression of multidrug resistance genes and proteins in colorectal cancer, and is involved in the occurrence, development and multidrug resistance of colorectal cancer.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain tumor in adults. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used in the diagnosis, characterization and clinical management of GBM. The diagnosis and treatment of GBM is largely guided by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. This study aimed to identify the relationship between magnetic resonance features and molecular pathology of GBM.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>MRI images of 43 glioblastoma patients were collected. Four imaging features, degree of edema, contrast tumor enhanced/T2 ratio, multiple lesions and tumor across the midline, were selected to identify their relationship with P53, Ki-67 and O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) expression in patients with GBM. The relationship between imaging features and molecular pathology was studied by chi-square test using the software SPSS 13.0.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>High expression of P53 was found correlated with low contrast tumor enhanced/T2 ratio, low expression of Ki-67 was correlated with multiple lesions and high expression of KI-67 may be related with tumor across the midline, low expression of MGMT was correlated with edema.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Some MRI features such as the degree of edema, contrast tumor enhanced/T2 ratio, multiple lesions and tumor acrossing the midline are correlated with P53, Ki-67 and MGMT of GBM.</p>
