RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the mechanism of miR-205-5p/E2F1 signal axis in regulating the glioma U251, U87 radiotherapy resistance.Methods:X-ray gradual ascending and intermittent induction method was used to irradiate the glioma U251 cells to establish U251/TR, U87/TR radiation-resistant cell lines. Then, the morphology, migration, invasion and proliferation abilities of cells (U251/TR, U87/TR radiation-resistant cells and U251, U87 radiation-sensitive cells) were analyzed. Luciferase gene detection system and point mutation technique were employed to analyze the mechanism of miR-205-5p and E2F1 gene activity on U251 and U87 radiation-resistant cell lines.Results:Compared with the radiation-sensitive U251 cells, the radiation-resistant cells U251/TR, U87/TR showed increased proliferation activity, enhanced migration and invasion abilities and decreased apoptosis under X-ray irradiation. miR-205-5p mimics transfection could down-regulate the expression of E2F1 factor in U251/TR cells, inhibit cell proliferation, invasion and migration and increase the radiosensitivity of U251/TR cells. miR-205-5p mimics transfection combined with with E2F1 down-regulation exerted anti-tumor effect and decreased cell tolerance by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity.Conclusions:The glioma radiation-resistant cell line U251/TR, U87/TR can be established by X-ray gradual ascending and intermittent induction method. The miR-205-5p/E2F1 signal axis exerts tumor-suppressing effect through the classical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which can be used as an therapeutic target to increase the radiosensitivity of glioma.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship of programmed cell death 4(PDCD4) with the invasion of astrocytic glio-mas .Methods Using the immunohistochemical method to detect the expression of PDCD4 in astrocytic gliomas in different grades . Measuring the peritumoral low-density area on MRI scan ,then compared with the results of immunohistochemical expression .Re-sults The downregulation of PDCD4 was with the increasing of the malignant grade of astrocytic gliomas .The tumor grade malig-nancy was positively correlated with the grade of the peritumoral low-density area on MRI scan(P<0 .05) ,while the expression of PDCD4 was negatively correlated with the grade of astrocytic gliomas (P<0 .01) .Conclusion PDCD4 might serve as one of the in-dicators of invasion and malignant phenotype for astrocytic gliomas .
