RESUMO
Objective To investigate mRNA expressions of bcl-2-associated athanogene1 (BAG-1), epithelial growth factor receptor(EGFR)in triple negative breast cancer(TNBC). Methods Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used to detect mRNA expression levels of BAG-1 and EGFR in 51 TNBC cases combined with adjacent tissues in Taihe Hospital of Shiyan City from October 2013 to August 2014, and the relationship between gene expression and the clinicopathologic parameters of TNBC patients was analyzed. Results The relative expressions of BAG-1 mRNA and EGFR mRNA were 0.57±0.25,0.61±0.21 respectively in TNBC. The expression level of mRNA in breast cancer (0.19±0.12, t = 5.12) was higher than that in adjacent tissues (0.21±0.11, t = 7.17), and there was no significant difference (P< 0.001). The difference of expressions of BAG-1 mRNA and EGFR mRNA in TNBC patients with different clinical stage or lymph node metastasis were statistically significant (all P< 0.05), but there was no significant difference in mRNA expression level of the patients with different tumor diameter or age (all P > 0.05). Conclusion BAG-1 mRNA, EGFR mRNA are highly expressed in TNBC, which may be related with the poor prognosis and may be a molecular index for predicting the prognosis of TNBC patients.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the expression changes of Bcl-2-associated athanogene 1(BAG-1) and its regulatory effect on the glucocorticoid receptor(GR) activity in rat alveolar macrophages in conditions of cell inflammation and glucocorticoid therapy.Methods: The expression changes of BAG-1 were detected by Western blot after lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and Dexamethasone(Dex) treatment of rat alveolar macrophages(AMs),the interaction between BAG-1 and GR determined by immune coprecipitation experiment,and the transcriptional activation of GR measured by relative luciferase activity assay.Results:After LPS and Dex treatment,the expression of BAG-1L in total protein increased but that of BAG-1S remained changed,BAG-1L rather than BAG-1S was detected in nuclear protein and its expression increased gradually within 24 hours,the interaction between BAG-1L and GR was observed in nucleoli,and the transcriptional activation of GR decreased,with a negative correlation between BAG-1L expression and GR activity.Conclusion:LPS and Dex acting on rat alveolar macrophages,the expression of BAG-1L increases,which,coupled with GR,translocates into nucleoli and inhibits GR activity.This might be the important mechanism that underlies glucocorticoid resistance in inflammation.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the changes in Bcl-2-associated athanogene 1(BAG-1)expression,and the mechanism of nuclear translocation in rat alveolar macrophages(AMs)induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and dexamethasone(Dex).Methods Primary culture AMs treated by LPS and Dex were divided randomly into three groups:6h group,2h group and 24h group.The BAG-1 expression in AMs was detected with Western blot.The interactions between BAG-1 and glucocorticoid receptor(GR)were detected with immune co-precipitation.The changes in GR expression in nuclear protein were evaluated with Western blotting after transfection of RNA interference recombinant plasmids(named psilencer 3.1-GR)targeting to GR gene.Results The expression of BAG-1L in total protein increased,and that of BAG-1S showed no changes.Only BAG-1L,with no BAG-1S,was detected in nuclear protein,and its expression increased gradually in 24h.Interaction between BAG-1L and GR was found in nucleolus after treatment.After transfection of plasmids psilencer 3.1-GR,the BAG-1L expression in nuclear protein decreased significantly compared with that of non-transfection group(P
RESUMO
Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of anty-apoptosis protein BAG-1 in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and its relationship with cell apoptosis and expression of Bcl-2 protein. Methods Immunohisto chemistry streptavidin-peroxidase conjugated (SP)method was used to examine the expression of BAG-1protein and Bcl-2 protein,and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) method was used to examine the apoptosis index in 54 cases of NSCLC.The expression of BAG-1 protein in 20 cases of normal bronchus mucosa tissue also be detected as control. Results Express positive rate of BAG-1 protein in NSCLC is 74.07%,obviously higher than that in normal bronchus mucosa tissue(positive rate is 5%).In cases of NSCLC,the expression of BAG-1 protein has not correlation with the age,gender,pathologic classification,but have closed correlation with lymph node metastasis,degree of differentiation,pTNM stage(P
