[Effect of TRIM59 Expression Interference on Daunorubicin Chemosensitivity of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia K562 Cells and Its Mechanism].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of tripipartite motif 59 (TRIM59) expression interference on the chemosensitivity of daunorubicin (DNR) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) K562 cells and the related molecular mechanism. METHODS: The expressions of TRIM59 mRNA in bone marrow tissues of patients with CML and K562 cells were detected by RT-qPCR. Liposome-based transfection technology was used to transfect TRIM59-specific siRNA (si-TRIM59) into K562 cells which then were treated with DNR. The proliferation and apoptosis of cells were detected by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively, and the expressions of apoptosis-related protein and Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway-related protein were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the bone marrow tissue of CML patients at the time of initial treatment, the expression of TRIM59 mRNA in bone marrow tissue of CML patients at the time of chemotherapy resistance was significantly increased (P <0.05). Compared with control group, the cell proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate in si-TRIM59 group and DNR group were significantly increased (P <0.05), the expression of Bax, Caspase3 and Cleaved-Caspase3 protein were significantly increased (P <0.05), while the expressions of Bcl-2, Wnt3α, GSK-3ß protein and the ratio of p-ß-catenin/ß-catenin were significantly decreased (P <0.05). Compared with si-TRIM59 group and DNR group, the proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate of si-TRIM59+DNR group were significantly increased (P <0.05), the expression of Bax, Caspase3 and Cleaved-Caspase3 protein were significantly increased, while the expression of Bcl-2, Wnt3α, GSK-3ß protein and the ratio of p-ß-catenin/ß-catenin were significantly decreased (P <0.05). CONCLUSION: TRIM59 expression interference may enhance the chemosensitivity of K562 cells to DNR, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway.

[Expression of lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 in human colorectal cancer and its clinical significance].

OBJECTIVE: To examine the expression of lymph vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 (LYVE-1) in human colorectal carcinoma and to evaluate the relationship of LYVE-1 with lymph mode metastasis and prognosis. METHODS: Colonic cancer samples of 40 cases were collected. The expression of LYVE-1 was determined by RT-PCR and quantified by real-time quantitative PCR. LVD and MVD were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. The relationship of LYVE-1 and LVD with lymph mode metastasis and prognosis were analyzed. All the patients were followed up for at least 3 years. RESULTS: The expression of LYVE-1 and the count of LVD were significantly higher in tumor tissue than those in common colon tissue (P<0.05). In the majority of tumors, the higher count of LVD indicated lymphangiogenesis. The recurrence rates in low LVD group and high LVD group were 46.7% and 60.0% respectively (P<0.05). The survival rates in the above two groups were 90.1% and 56.7% respectively (P<0.05). No significant correlation was found between LYVE-1 and recurrence rate (P>0.05) or overall survival (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: LYVE-1 indicates an increase of lymphangiogenesis in colorectal carcinoma and LVD can be used to evaluate the prognosis for colorectal cancer patients.
