ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the influence of nonylphenol (NP) on cytoactive and the expression of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 30 (GPR30) in human colon cancer SW480 cells.Methods:The experimental study was conducted. The human colon cancer SW480 cells were cultured in vitro. The influence of NP on proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and the expression of GPR30 in human colon cancer SW480 cells were analyzed by cell proliferation, cell cycle detection, cell apoptosis and gene expression and protein expression experiments. Cell grouping: SW480 cells cultured with medium were set as the control group, cultured with medium+1×10 ?8 mol/L estradiol were set as the estradiol group, cultured with medium+1×10 ?8 mol/L NP were set as the NP group, cultured with medium+1×10 ?8 mol/L NP+1×10 ?7 mol/L GPR30 specific antagonist G15 were set as the NP+G15 group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) proliferation index of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups; (2) cycle proportion of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups; (3) apoptosis index of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups; (4) GPR30 messenger RNA(mRNA) expression of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups; (5) GPR30 protein expression of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD and one way ANOVA was used for comparison between groups. The least significant difference method was used to test the pairwise comparison. Results:(1) Proliferation index of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups. Results of the cell proliferation experiments showed that the proliferation indexes of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the control group, the estradiol group, the NP group and the NP+G15 group were 100.00±0.00, 89.19±4.86, 148.96±6.04 and 120.40±3.39, respectively, showing a significant difference among the 4 groups ( F=21.45, P<0.05). There was a significant difference between the control group and the NP group ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the control group and the estradiol group, between the control group and the NP+G15 group ( P>0.05).

There were significant differences between the control group and the estradiol group, between the control group and the NP group ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the control group and the NP+G15 group ( P>0.05). (3) Apoptosis index of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups. Results of the cell apoptosis experiments showed that the apoptosis indexes of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the control group, the estradiol group, the NP group and the NP+G15 group were 1.67±0.18, 4.80±0.31, 0.75±0.11 and 2.20±0.19, respectively, showing a significant difference among the 4 groups ( F=136.79, P<0.05). There were significant differences between the control group and the estradiol group, between the control group and the NP group ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the control group and the NP+G15 group ( P>0.05). (4) GPR30 mRNA expression of human colon cancer SW480 cells in the 4 groups. Results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction detection showed that the relative expression rates of GPR30 mRNA in human colon cancer SW480 cells of the control group, the estradiol group, the NP group and the NP+G15 group were 1.00±0.00, 0.86±0.05, 1.89±0.27 and 0.64±0.12, respectively, showing a significant difference among the 4 groups ( F=26.61, P<0.05).

Conclusion:Low dose of NP can increase the proliferation index and the proportion of cells in the S phase of the cell cycles, decrease the apoptosis index, and promote the mRNA and protein expression of GPR30 in human colon cancer SW480 cells.
ABSTRACT
We present two cases of clear cell meningioma (CCM) in the intracranial and intraspinal region with anaplastic features. On histological examination, both the tumors exhibited unusual anaplastic appearances with nuclear pleomorphism, a high mitotic activity and necrosis, which were different from classical CCMs. The tumor cells were immunoreactive to epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and vimentin with a high MIB-1 index of 40%. Total excision of the tumors was performed in both cases. The male patient was found to have local recurrence and lateral ventricle metastasis 3 months after the total excision. We reviewed the clinicopathological features, disagnosis and prognosis of the disease. We recommend that postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy be performed after total tumor excision, and MRI scan every 3-6 months is mandatory during the initial follow-up period.
