Breast cancer is a serious health problem worldwide. Acquisition of multi-drug resistance (MDR) during the treatment of breast cancer is still considered a major clinical obstacle. Despite the biological functions of miRNAs becoming increasingly apparent, the function of miRNAs in regulating drug resistance of breast cancer remains under investigation. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to quantify the expression of miR-132/-212 (miR-132 and miR-212) in doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant and -sensitive breast cancer tumors and cells. The function of miR-132/-212 in drug resistance was investigated in vitro (MTT assay, TUNEL assay, fluorescence, immunohistochemistry, luciferase reporter assay, Western blotting). We found that miR-132/-212 were commonly overexpressed in DOX-resistant breast cancer tumors and cells. Silenced miR-132/-212 expression induced DOX accumulation in MCF-7/ADR cells, while overexpression of miR-132/-212 led to breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)-based DOX efflux in MCF-7 cells. Further study showed that up-regulation of miR-132/-212 in MCF-7/ADR cells suppressed the expression of PTEN, a target gene of miR-132/-212, which activated AKT phosphorylation and the NF-κB pathway and led to increased BCRP expression. Down-regulation of miR-132/-212 sensitized MCF-7/ADR cells to DOX. Mechanistic investigations suggested that miR-132/-212 enhancement was a result of NF-κB-mediated transactivation of the pri-miR-132/-212 gene. Taken together, our findings are among the first to demonstrate a novel aspect of the miR-132/-212-PTEN-AKT/NF-κB-BCRP pathway in the generation of breast cancer resistance and provides a potential method to reverse drug resistance.

Heat and water transfers for the frost heave behavior of freezing graded soil as affected by fine content, cooling temperature, and water supply were investigated in this study. Results showed that, the total frost heave mainly came from the external water supply, and higher fine content and lower cooling temperature led to higher frost heave and more water intake (e.g., 14.62 mm and 186.48 ml for sample under −7.5 °C with 50% fine content). The sample experienced shorter temperature cooling stage with higher fine content (e.g., 8.7 h for sample with 50% fine content), and longer temperature cooling stage under lower cooling temperature (e.g., 13.2 h for sample under −7.5 °C). Higher fine content and lower cooling temperature resulted in higher maximum volumetric water content above the frozen fringe (e.g., 52.33% and 55.63% for samples under −5 °C and − 7.5 °C with 50% fine content, respectively). The thickness of visible ice lenses was proportional to the frost heave and "invisible" ice lenses contributed more to the frost heave. Theoretical predictions of frost heave based on the modified formula showed good agreement with the experiment results with relative error of 2.7%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The human uterine cervix carcinoma is one of the most well-known malignancy reproductive system cancers, which threatens women health globally. However, the mechanisms of the oncogenesis and development process of cervix carcinoma are not yet fully understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proved to play key roles in various biological processes, especially development of cancer. The function and mechanism of lncRNAs on cervix carcinoma is still rarely reported. We selected 3 cervix cancer and normal cervix tissues separately, then performed lncRNA microarray to detect the differentially expressed lncRNAs. Subsequently, we explored the potential function of these dysregulated lncRNAs through online bioinformatics databases. Finally, quantity real-time PCR was carried out to confirm the expression levels of these dysregulated lncRNAs in cervix cancer and normal tissues. We uncovered the profiles of differentially expressed lncRNAs between normal and cervix carcinoma tissues by using the microarray techniques, and found 1622 upregulated and 3026 downregulated lncRNAs (fold-change > 2.0) in cervix carcinoma compared to the normal cervical tissue. Furthermore, we found HOXA11-AS might participate in cervix carcinogenesis by regulating HOXA11, which is involved in regulating biological processes of cervix cancer. This study afforded expression profiles of lncRNAs between cervix carcinoma tissue and normal cervical tissue, which could provide database for further research about the function and mechanism of key-lncRNAs in cervix carcinoma, and might be helpful to explore potential diagnosis factors and therapeutic targets for cervix carcinoma.

Background/Aims Chemoresistance of breast cancer is a growing problem and still a major clinical obstacle to successful treatment in clinical patients. miR-760 was significantly downregulated in chemoresistance breast cancer tissues compared to chemo-sensitive tissues in our previous study. However, the role of miR-760 in modulating drug resistance remains largely unexplored. In this study, we sought to determine the expression pattern of miR-760 targeted mRNAs, and explore their potential functions and participated-pathways in breast cancer drug resistance cells. Results Compared to parental cell line MCF-7, miR-760 was downregulated by 6.15 folds in MCF-7/Adr cells. The qRT-PCR result showed that compared to miR-760 negative control cells group, miR-760 was up-regulated 15.817 folds after miR-760 lentiviral transfection in miR-760 mimics group. The microarray data showed that 270 genes were dysregulated over 2-fold change in MCF-7/Adr cells after miR-760 overexpressed, including 241 up-regulated and 29 downregulated genes. GO analysis result appeared that the predicted target genes of miR-760 mainly regulated DNA binding, protein binding, molecular function, nucleic acid binding, and so on; the pathway analysis data demonstrated that these target genes mainly involved in cell cycle, TGF-beta signaling pathway, mRNA processing reactome, G protein signaling, apoptosis, Wnt signaling pathway, and other signaling pathways. There were 3 predicted target genes ( RHOB , ANGOTL4 , ABCA1 ) of miR-760 were selected at a P value < 0.05 and the fold enrichment was > 40. Conclusion Our study explored the genes expression pattern after miR-760 overexpresssed, and confirmed 3 dominantly dysregulated genes, which could expand the insights into the miR-760 function and molecular mechanisms in drug resistance of breast cancer. This study might afford a comprehensive understanding of miR-760 as prognostic biomarkers during clinical treatment, and we supposed that the miR-760 expression levels in drug resistance carcinoma tissues could be pursued to develop new strategies for targeted therapies in chemoresistant breast cancer patients.

• Aimed to identify serum biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of trastuzumab-based therapy to HER2-positive breast cancer. • TMT label-based quantitative proteomics discovered 18 differentially expressed proteins in the serum. • MRM approach-based targeted proteomics identified SRGN, LDHA and CST3 as candidate biomarkers. • Trastuzumab-based therapy resistance diagnostic score was established based on the level of SRGN, LDHA and CST3. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive is a particularly aggressive type of the breast cancer. Trastuzumab-based therapy is a standard treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer, but some patients are resistant to the therapy. Serum proteins have been used to predict therapeutic benefit for various cancers, but whether serum proteins can serve as biomarkers for HER2-positive breast cancer remains unclear. Using an isobaric Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) label-based quantitative proteomic, we discovered 18 differentially expressed proteins in the serum of trastuzumab-based therapy resistant patients before therapy. Then, four proteins were selected and validated using an LC–MS/MS-based multiple reaction monitoring quantification method, and it was confirmed that three proteins (SRGN, LDHA and CST3) were correlated with trastuzumab-based therapy resistance. Finally, the trastuzumab-based therapy resistance diagnostic score was calculated and acquired by means of a logistic regression pattern based on the level of these three proteins. In summary, we develop a serum-based protein signature that potentially predicts the therapeutic effects of trastuzumab-based therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction Our previous study showed that the expression of miR-197 in leiomyoma was down-regulated compared with myometrium. Further, miR-197 has been identified to affect uterine leiomyoma cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis ability, though the responsible molecular mechanism has not been well elucidated. In this study, we sought to determine the expression patterns of miR-197 targeted genes and to explore their potential functions, participating Pathways and the networks that are involved in the biological behavior of human uterine leiomyoma. Methods After transfection of human uterine leiomyoma cells with miR-197, we confirmed the expression level of miR-197 using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and we detected the gene expression profiles after miR-197 over-expression through DNA microarray analysis. Further, we performed GO and Pathway analysis. The dominantly dys-regulated genes, which were up- or down-regulated by more than 10-fold, compared with parental cells, were confirmed using qRT-PCR technology. Result Compared with the control group, miR-197 was up-regulated by 30-fold after miR-197 lentiviral transfection. The microarray data showed that 872 genes were dys-regulated by more than 2-fold in human uterine leiomyoma cells after miR-197 overexpression, including 537 up-regulated and 335 down-regulated genes. The GO analysis indicated that the dys-regulated genes were primarily involved in response to stimuli, multicellular organ processes, and the signaling of biological progression. Further, Pathway analysis data showed that these genes participated in regulating several signaling Pathways, including the JAK/STAT signaling Pathway, the Toll-like receptor signaling Pathway, and cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction. The qRT-PCR results confirmed that 17 of the 66 selected genes, which were up- or down-regulated more than 10-fold by miR-197, were consistent with the microarray results, including tumorigenesis-related genes, such as DRT7, SLC549, SFMBT2, FLJ37956, FBLN2, C10orf35, HOXD12, CACNG7, and LOC100134279. Conclusion Our study explored gene expression patterns after miR-197 overexpression and confirmed 17 dominantly dys-regulated genes, which could expand the insights into the function of miR-197 and the molecular mechanisms during the development and progression of uterine leiomyomas. This study might afford new clues for understanding the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyomas, and it could likely provide a unique method for diagnosing or predicting prognosis in the clinical treatment of leiomyoma.

Background/aims Uterine leiomyoma is the ahead benign tumor of the female genital tract, which resulted in menstrual abnormalities, recurrent pregnancy loss, and other serious gynecological disorders in women. Recently, as the process of exploring the brief molecular mechanisms of tumorgenesis, microRNAs (miRNAs) have attracted much more attention. Methods In this study, we first confirmed that microRNA-197 (miR-197) was down-regulated significantly in human uterus leiomyoma by quantity real-time polymerase chain reaction, compared to normal uterus myometrium. Then we observed the potential effects of miR-197 overexpression on human uterus leiomyoma cells by cell counting kit 8, wound healing assay, and flow cytometric assessment separately. Results The data showed that miR-197 could inhibit cell proliferation, induce cell apoptosis, and block cell migration in vitro. Coincidently, levonorgestrel (LNG), a well-known uterus leiomyoma therapy, could induce miR-197 expression in human uterus leiomyoma cells, and over-expression of miR-197 showed a synergy effect on human uterus leiomyoma cell proliferation and apoptosis with LNG. Conclusion In this study, the data showed that miR-197 could play an anti-oncogenic role in human uterus leiomyoma cells, and cooperate with LNG on the cell proliferation and apoptosis, which suggested that miR-197 might be a potential target and provided database for clinical treatment.

Breast cancer has been considered to be a multifactorial disease with a wide array of well-characterized gene mutations and chromosomal abnormalities. However, it is becoming evident that the onset or development of breast cancer also depends on epigenetic factors, although the mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. We performed a genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation of breast carcinomatous tissues and paired normal tissues to examine the differences in methylation between them. Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) was used to validate the hypermethylated genes screened out by DNA methylation microarray. We found that hypomethylation and hypermethylation occurred in 2753 and 1795 genes, respectively, in breast carcinomatous tissues. Meanwhile, gene ontology analysis and ingenuity pathway analysis revealed the function and pathway of several genes whose methylation status was altered in breast carcinomatous tissues. In addition, we investigated the promoter methylation status of four genes in breast carcinomatous tissue and paired normal tissues ( n = 30) by MSP. Promoter hypermethylation of CRABP1 , HOXB13 , IFNGR2 , and PIK3C3 was found in 37% (11/30), 23% (7/30), 17% (5/30), and 2% (2/30) of the carcinomas, respectively. Mutation of these four important genes was critical to many types of cancer. Our results suggest that DNA methylation mechanisms may be involved in regulating the occurrence and development of breast cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In order to investigate the potential effects of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) on the expression of metalloproteinases (MMPs), Mice were orally administered with MC-LR in drinking water (0, 1, 40 and 80μg/L) for 180d, and hepatic MMP-2/-9 expression was evaluated at the levels of enzyme activity, protein level and mRNA expression. Histopathologic observation showed the obvious hepatic lymphocyte infiltration and fatty degeneration in the mice exposed to 40 and 80μg/L MC-LR. Immunohisto-chemical staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) revealed that excess MMP-2/-9 proteins were produced in livers of the mice exposed to MC-LR at the higher concentrations. Hepatic MMP-9 level was elevated from 0.6ng/g liver weight in control to 1.4ng/g liver weight in 80-μg/L group, but a slight increase was found for MMP-2 level. Real time PCR showed that MMP-2/-9 mRNA expression was up-regulated by 6.9 fold and 5.0 fold after 80-μg/L-MC treatment, respectively. MMP-2/-9 expression showed a good dose-dependent manner at both protein and mRNA levels. ELISA demonstrated that MC-LR stimulated phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, a potential signal transduction pathway of the MMP-2/-9 expression alteration. This study revealed a significant alteration in hepatic MMP-2/-9 expression induced by MC-LR, which might be involved in cell invasion and metastasis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Three kinds of amorphous ITO (a-ITO) films were deposited on chemically strengthened glass by DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. A rapid infrared annealing (RIA) device was built, and an infrared fast crystallization process was developed. Not only the effects of RIA on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of ITO films, but also the effects of RIA on the mechanical properties of chemically strengthened glass substrates were investigated compared with those of conventional furnace annealing (CFA). The rules of the structural and physical properties during amorphous-crystalline transition are basically the same by RIA and CFA. However, the RIA time is only 10% of the CFA time, and the compressive stress reduction of chemically strengthened glass is only 4.2% at 500 °C, which is 38.5% by CFA. These results demonstrate that very effective RIA technology could replace the traditional annealing method (CFA), which can greatly reduce production costs and significantly improve production efficiency.

CIRCULAR RNA , *BREAST cancer , *METASTASIS , *NEOPLASTIC cell transformation , *DISEASE progression - Abstract
As a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been recently identified to regulate tumourigenesis and progression in multiple malignancies. However, the expression profiles and function of circRNAs in breast cancer metastasis are largely unknown. Here, we determined that the expression of a novel circRNA, which we named circIRAK3, was increased in metastatic breast cancer (BC) cells and predictive of BC recurrence. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies in BC cells demonstrated that circIRAK3 promoted cell migration, invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo but did not affect cell proliferation, colony formation or cell cycle progression. Using circIRAK3 in vivo precipitation and luciferase reporter assays, we identified miR-3607 as a circIRAK3-associated miRNA. Furthermore, RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis showed that forkhead box C1 (FOXC1), the target of miR-3607, was downregulated in circIRAK3-silenced cells and mediated circIRAK3-induced BC cell migration. Intriguingly, FOXC1 could, in turn, bind to the IRAK3 promoter, triggering a positive-feedback loop that perpetuated the circIRAK3/miR-3607/FOXC1 signaling axis. Collectively, our findings indicated that circIRAK3 may exert regulatory roles in BC metastasis and may be a potential target for metastatic BC therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies and bone is the commonest site of distant metastases. Evidences indicate that adequate supply of vitamin D will decrease the morbidity and mortality of breast cancer. However, the main role of vitamin D deficiency in breast cancer bone metastases remains unclear. In this study, the relationship between vitamin D and breast cancer bone metastases were evaluated. Results showed that 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 can not only inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cell TM40D in vitro, but also attenuate the breast cancer cell TM40D-induced bone destruction in vivo, whose underlying mechanism was at least partially through decreasing the number of the osteoclasts. To our knowledge, this is the first to use 1-alpha-hydroxylase [1α(OH)ase] knockout mice which characterized vitamin D deficiency to establish the breast cancer bone metastases model. Based on this model, we also found that vitamin D deficiency will accelerate the osteolytic lesions, and 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 supplement will restrain osteolytic lesions. Therefore, these findings suggest that vitamin D has the potential capacity to be a therapeutic agent for the breast cancer bone metastases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background/Aim Breast cancer is the most common type of tumor in female and chemoresistance has been a major clinical obstacle to the treatment in clinical patients. miRNA was one of the factors demonstrated to play certain roles in chemoesistance in breast cancer. In this study, we exploited Solexa deep sequencing technology to identify differentially expressed miRNA from samples in vitro, trying to find novel relationship between miRNA and chemoresistance in breast cancer. Methods The human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line was pulse-selected with doxorubicin (10 pulses, once a week for 4 h, with 1 μM doxorubicin) to generate MCF-7/Adr cells. Total RNA was extracted from the treated and untreated MCF-7 cells and subsequently subjected to real time PCR. Two small RNA libraries of MCF7NON and MCF7ADR were established to record the Solexa sequencing results of the PCR products above. All the sequencing results were verified by Stem-loop real-time PCR. GO annotation and KEGG analysis program were exploited to enrich the differentially expressed miRNAs. Results The results showed that 214,822 and 378,597 reads were mapped in the MCF7ADR and MCF7NON libraries when aligned to hairpin structure respectively. Meanwhile, 1323 and 520 reads were mapped when aligned to mature sequences. In addition, 310 known mature miRNAs were coexpressed in both libraries. Comparing the MCF7ADR group to the MCF7NON group, 18 miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed. GO annotation and KEGG analysis showed that the target genes were enriched in regulation of transcription and development as well as Wnt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway and TGF-ß signaling pathway. Conclusion The results proved that the Solexa deep sequencing was a powerful and reliable platform to analyze small RNAs. And further investigation should be conducted for the biological process and pathways that have been identified and more efforts should be made to research the mechanism of chemoresistance in breast cancer.

Methylphenidate (MPH) is a central nervous system stimulant that is widely used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and has been shown to improve attention, cognitive function and behaviors in both patients and animal models of ADHD. Even among normal healthy people, MPH can facilitate the consolidation of memories and improve declarative memory. Using microarray techniques, we aimed to find new pharmacology profile of MPH. A Làt maze experiment showed that locomotor activity and non-selective attention were affected by 2 weeks of exposure to MPH. Then, we identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) signatures in the prefrontal cortex of rats; 461 up-regulated lncRNAs and 97 down-regulated lncRNAs were found in the MPH-exposed group compared with the control group using fold-change >1.5. GO and KEGG pathway analyses indicated biological functions related to the metabolism of neural chemical compounds and nerve cell development. Furthermore, we reported changes in uc.173+ related to the UBE2B gene, which may affect neurite outgrowth and axonal regeneration. At the same time, MRAK081997 associated with the DHFR gene may be involved in axon regeneration in the rodent central nervous system through DNA methylation. Our study showed distinct expression profiles of lncRNAs in the normal rat prefrontal cortex after exposure to MPH, offering information for further research of MPH and may suggesting a new therapeutic target for ADHD.

• Li doped Ni-W oxide film was firstly prepared by magnetron sputtering. • Li doping dramatically improves charge capacity of Ni-W oxide films. • Li doped film has excellent complementary electrochromic characteristics to WO 3 film. • An ECD based on Li doped Ni-W oxide and WO 3 films was prepared. • The colored ECD has a balanced light absorption in the whole visible region. Ni-W oxide film within a certain range of Ni/W ratio could be used as anodic electrochromic material. However, with increasing W content, the film has low charge capacity and poor electrochromic properties. In this paper, lithium (Li) was doped into Ni-W oxide film by magnetron sputtering for improving charge capacity in accordance with electrochromic properties. Results show that doping Li could dramatically improve the charge capacity of Ni-W oxide film, which is associated with the doping amount. The charge capacity density of doped film with about 300 nm thickness is more than 30 mC/cm2 by applying a pulse potential with ± 1.2 V, the transmittance in colored state is lower than 10% in the 300–600 nm wavelength range, and transmittance modulation (∆T) is over than 60% in the whole 440–750 nm wavelength range. The Li doped Ni-W oxide film has excellent complementary electrochromic properties to WO 3 film. EIS data analysis indicates that doping Li could greatly decrease the resistance of ions movement in the film-electrolyte interface and inside the film, and this is benefit for improving the charge capacity of film. Investigations based on XPS and SEM data also show that upon doping Li, the grains on the surface of film are more smaller, and the chemical surroundings around Ni ions is more likely to be changed. These factors result in that the Li doped Ni-W oxide film exhibits good anodic electrochromic properties. The colored device prepared by using Li doped Ni-W oxide and WO 3 films has a balanced light absorption in the whole visible wavelength range, and appears dark brown.
