ABSTRACT
Resistance to breast cancer (BCa) chemotherapy severely hampers the patient's prognosis. MicroRNAs provide a potential therapeutic prospect for BCa. In this study, the reversal function of microRNA34a (miR34a) on doxorubicin (Dox) resistance of BCa and the possible mechanism was investigated. We found that the relative level of miR34a was significantly decreased in Dox-resistant breast cancer cell MCF-7 (MCF-7/A) compared with Dox-sensitive MCF-7 cells. Transfection with miR34a significantly suppressed the invasion, migration, adhesion of MCF-7/A cells without inhibiting their growth obviously. The combination of miR34a and Dox could significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and induce the apoptosis of MCF-7/A cells. The synergistic effect of this combination on resistant MCF-7/A cells has no obvious relation with the expressions of classical drug-resistant proteins P-GP, MRP and GST-
ABSTRACT
AIM To investigate the antithrobosis effects of glycol mannate sulfate(GMS). METHODS Vein thrombus was formed in rat by ligating postcava. Thrombus formation in vitro was observed by Chandlers method. Clotting indexes were measure by ACL200 congulation system. RESULTS GMS dosage of 20、40 mg*kg-1 could inhibit the vein thrombus formation in rats (P<0.01). GMS could inhibit the thrombosis in rabbit, in vivo, and the inhibitory action was enhanced along with the increase of dosage. The CT,TT,CT,APTT,RT and PT were prolonged, and the fibrinogen and the activity of Ⅱ and Ⅱa were decreased. The activity of ATⅢ was enhenced. CONCLUSION GMS has antithrombotic effect and the mechanism may be related to the anticongulat effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the protective effect of shenduqing Granules on chronic renal insufficiency in rats. Methods: The rat model of chronic renal insufficiency was made by feeding 0.75% adenine forage. The blood biochemical indexes, ion concentration in serum of rat was measured and the pathological changes of rat kidney were observed. Results: Shenduqing Granules obviously increased thymus index (TI). The weight of rat kidney in the treatment group was lighter than that of the model group. The kidney histomorphological study showed that Shenduqing Granules obvionsly reduce the pathological changes. The drug crystals were also reduced. Conclusion: Shenduqing Granules has the potential protection against chronic renal insufficiency in rats.
