Establishment and biologicaI characters of an Sunitinib-resistant cell line of gastrointestinal stromal tumor / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective:To establish the Sunitinib-resistant model GIST882-Rs.Methods:The intermittent concentration gradient doubling method was used to get Sunitinib-resistant cell line GIST 882-Rs. Changes of cell morphology were observed and compared under the opticalm icroscopy. Changes of cell cycle were assayed and compared by using flow cytometer. The growth curvature , half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) were calculated by using cell counting kit (CCK8) assay.Results:Significant changes occurred in the morphologic profiles, such as epithelioid shape, the increased ratio of nucleolus to cytoplasm, emerging multinucleated cel1 and increase of granule sub stances. IC50 for GIST882 and GIST 882-Rs were(127.50 ± 2.15) μmol and (23.98 ± 1.85) μmol, and there were significant differences ( P < 0.05). The resistance index of GIST882-Rs to Sunitinib was 5.30 fold of GIST882 cells. The cell cycle of GIST882 and GIST882- Rs was respectively 52.51% and 39.87% in S phase 25.22% and 32.32% in G 0/G 1 phase. Conclusions:The sensitivity of GIST 882-Rs to Sunitinib treatment is decreased significantly.

Clinical implications of circulating miRNA-101 expression level in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

AIM:To investigate the serum miRNA-101 expression level in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),and to evaluate the clinical implications of miRNA-101 expression level variation.METHODS:qRT-PCR was used to determine the serum miRNA-101 expression level.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to observe the relationship between two variables.Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to assess the association of serum miRNA-101 level and other parameters.RESULTS:Serum miRNA-101 level in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM was significantly higher than that in control subjects (P ＜ 0.05).The serum level of miRNA-101 was positively correlated with the glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c,P ＜0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the circulating miRNA-101 was in significant positive correlation with HbA1c (P ＜ 0.05) after adjustment for age,sex and body weight.CONCLUSION:Enhanced circulating miRNA-101 level in newly diagnosed T2DM patients may be associated with elevation of HbA1 c.
