To investigate the effects of ulinastatin and docetaxel on invasion of breast cancer cells and expression of uPA, uPAR and ERK, breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells.
The nude mice were treated with PBS, ulinastatin, docetaxel, and ulinastatin plus docetaxel, respectively. Their effects on 1) cell invasion ability was assayed using Transwell; 2) expression of uPA, uPAR and ERK was detected by real time PCR and Western blot; 3) uPA, uPAR and p-ERK protein level in nude mice was quantified by immunohistochemistry.
Ulinastatin can enhance the effects of docetaxel on invasion of breast cancer cells. And that uPA, uPAR and p-ERK expression is obviously inhibited by ulinastatin.
研究乌司他丁和多西他赛对乳腺癌细胞侵袭以及 uPA、uPAR 和 ERK 表达的影响,选用乳腺癌 MDA-MB-231 和 MCF-7 细胞进行实验。
分别用 PBS、乌司他丁、多西他赛和乌司他丁加多西他赛处理裸鼠,采用 Transwell 法检测细胞侵袭能力,实时 PCR 和 Western blot 检测 uPA、uPAR 和 ERK 的表达,免疫组化法检测裸鼠 uPA、uPAR 和 p-ERK 蛋白水平。
1)乌司他丁、多西他赛和乌司他丁加多西他赛处理均显著抑制 MDA-MB-231 和 MCF-7 细胞侵袭;2)uPA、uPAR 和 ERK1/2 的 mRNA 和蛋白水平被乌司他丁抑制,被多西他赛增强。
乌司他丁能增强多西他赛对乳腺癌细胞侵袭的抑制作用,其作用机制可能与明显抑制 uPA、uPAR 和 p-ERK 表达有关。
