Effect of miRNA-409-3p expression on proliferation of cervical cancer cells and chemotherapy sensitivity of cisplatin / 实用肿瘤学杂志

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of microRNA-409-3p(miRNA-409-3p) expression on proliferation of cervical cancer Hela cells and chemotherapy sensitivity of cisplatin. Methods HeLa cells were divided into normal control,miRNA-409-3p mimic and RNA control groups. The mRNA expression of miRNA-409-3p was detected by RT-qPCR. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,and the expression of Fip200,LC3 and Caspase-3 was detected by Western blot. Results The relative expression level of microRNA-409-3p mRNA in cervical cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in normal cervical tissues and adjacent tissues(P<0. 05). After transfection of microRNA-409-3p mimic,the relative ex-pression level of microRNA-409-3p mRNA in the microNA-409-3p mimic group was significantly up-regulated compared with the normal control group(P<0. 05). The relative expression level of miRNA-409-3p mRNA in the RNA control group was not dif-ferent from that in the normal control group(P>0. 05). The proliferative rate of HeLa cells int the microRNA-409 mimic group was significantly lower than that in normal control and RNA control groups(P<0. 05). After cisplatin treatment,the proliferation of Hela cells was significantly inhibited in the miRNA-409-3p mimic group(P<0. 05);the expression of Fip200 protein and LC3II/LC3I ratio in the microRNA-409-3p mimic group were significantly lower than those in the normal control and RNA control groups(P<0. 05). Conclusion The low expression of microRNA-409-3p in cervical cancer tissue may be related to the occurrence and de-velopment of cervical cancer. Upregulation of microRNA-409-3p level can inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells and increase the sensitivity of HeLa cells to cisplatin.

Expressions of LYVE-1 and PROX-1 in Breast Carcinoma and Their Clinical Significance / 华中科技大学学报(医学版)

Objective To investigate the expressions of LYVE-1 and PROX-1 in human breast carcinoma and the clinical significance of lymphatic vessel density.Methods Immunohistochemistry (SP method)was used to detect the expressions of LYVE-1 and PROX-1 in 80 specimens of breast invasive ductal carcinoma and 35 specimens of breast hyperplasia.Results The density of lymphatic vessels positive for LYVE-1 or PROX-1 was significantly higher in breast carcinoma than in breast hyper-plasia (P<0.01).There was a significant correlation between lymphatic vessel density and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). A negative correlation was noted between the PROX-1 expression in carcinoma cells and tumor grade (P<0.01)or TNM stage (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Lymphangiogenesis is increased in breast carcinoma,which is associated with lymph node metastasis.PROX-1 may be involved in tumorigenesis,progression and lymphatic metastasis in breast cancer.
