The cAMP content of carcinoma cell was determined by radioimmunoassay and the DNA, protein content and cell cycle were determined by flow-cytometry. The amount of viable cells was determined by MTT colorimetric analysis,IP(3) content was determined by radioimmunoassay, Ca(2+) concentration in cell by fluorometry and PKC activity by isotopic enzymolysis. The expression of gastrin, c-myc, c-fos and rasP21 in 48 cases of colorectal carcinoma tissue was detected by the immuno-cytochemistry SP method. Argyrophilia nucleolar organizer regions was determined with argyrophilia stain.RESULTS:The volume,weight, cAMP, DNA and protein content in carcinoma cell, cell amount and proliferation index of S and G(2)M phase in PG group were all significantly higher than those of control group. When PG was at the concentration of 25mg/L, the amount of viable cells, IP(3) content and Ca(2+) concentration in cell and membrane PKC activity in PG group were significantly higher than those in control group; when PGL was at a concentration of 32mg/L, they dropped to the lowest level in PG (25mg/L)+PGL group, but without significant difference from the control group. The positive expression rate of gastrin, c-myc, c-fos and rasP21 in carcinoma tissue was 39.6%, 54.2%, 47.9% and 54.2% respectively and significantly higher than that in mucosa 3cm and 6cm adjacent to carcinoma tissue and normal colorectal mucosa. The positive expression rate of gastrin of highly differentiated adenocarcinoma group was significantly higher than that of poorly differentiated and mucinous adenocar-cinoma groups.

Surgery is the first choice of treatment for this kind of patients. Peptide hormone gastrin is a recognized growth factor for gastric cancer, and gastrin receptor antagonist proglumide can block the effects of gastrin. The aim of this study was to investigate the actions of proglumide as an adjuvant treatment to improve the postoperative long-term survival rate of patients with cardiac adenocarcinoma. METHODS: We performed a randomized, controlled study of gastrin receptor antagonist proglumide in 301 patients with cardiac adenocarcinoma after proximal subtotal gastrectomy. The oral dose of 0.4 g proglumide thrice daily preprandially was maintained for more than 5 years in 153 cases (proglumide treatment group). In the control group, 148 patients underwent operation only. In clinicopathologic features, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients were followed up during their lifetime, and the survival rates were analyzed combined with clinicopathologic factors by SPSS 11.5 statistical software. RESULTS: The 1,3,5 and 10-year survival rate of the patients was 88.4%, 48.8%, 22.6% and 13.4%, respectively. The 1,3,5 and 10-year survival rate of the proglumide treatment group was 90.2%, 49.7%, 26.8% and 17.6% compared to 86.5%, 48.0%, 18.2% and 8.9% of the control group. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P= 0.0460). The patients in proglumide treatment group had no obvious side effects after administration of the drug, and no definite hepatic and renal function damage was found. According to single factor log-rank analysis, the long-term survival rate was correlated with the primary tumor position (P= 0.0205), length of the tumor (P= 0.0000), property of the operation (P= 0.0000), histopathologic grading (P = 0.0003), infiltrating degree of the tumor (/>= 0.0000), influence of lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0000), clinicopathologic staging (P= 0.0000) and administration of pr展开更多

The aim of this study was to explore the receptor mechanism by which CCK-8 antagonized the depressor effect of u-and k-opioid agonists, and to observe whether CCK-8 could antagonize the depressor effect induced by muscimol, a nonopioid substance. The results showed that (ⅰ) The antagonistic effect of CCK-8 on opioid-induced hypotension could be blocked by intrathecal (i.t.) administration of CCK-B antagonist L-365, 260 at nanogram doses, or by CCK-A antagonist devazepide at doses 20—40 times higher than L-365, 260, indicating that it was the CCK-B receptor which mediates the antiopioid effect. (ⅱ) The depressor effect induced by intrathecal muscimol, a GABA agonist, was blocked neither by naloxone nor by CCK-8, supporting the notion that CCK-8 is an endogenous opioid antagonist rather thana universal anti-hypotension agent.展开更多

Methods: HT-29 cell line of colorectal carcinoma was in vitro incubated and divided into the control group, pentagastrin group, proglumide group, and pentagastrin + proglumide group. MTT reduction assay was performed to detect the proliferation status of HT-29 cell line and determine the optimal dosage of pentagastrin and proglumide. Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate flow cytometry was used to detect the proliferation index (PI) and apoptosis rate (AR) of HT-29 cells. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the mRNA expression of the pentagastrin receptor/cholecystokinin-B receptor (CCK-BR) and p38. The protein and phosphorylation levels of p38 were estimated by western blotting. Results: RT-PCR detection showed that CCK-BR mRNA was expressed in the HT-29 cell line. Pentagatrin improved HT-29 cell proliferation in dosage of 6.25 - 100 mg/L, and the optimal dosage of pentagastrin was 25.0 mg/L. Proglumide had no significant effect on the proliferation of HT-29 cells, but significantly inhibited the proliferation of HT-29 cells stimulated by pentagastrin when the dosage of proglumide was 8.0 - 128.0 mg/L, and the optimal dosage was 32.0 mg/L. The AR in the pentagastrin group was significantly lower than that in the control group and in the pentagastrin + proglumide group. The PI in the pentagastrin group was significantly higher than that in the control group and in the pentagastrin + proglumide group. P38 phosphorylation level in the pentagastrin group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and in the pentagastrin + proglumide group. There were no significant differences in the mRNA and protein expression of p38 in the control, pentagastrin, proglumide and pentagastrin + proglumide groups. Conclusion: Pentagastrin can improve proliferation of the CRC cell line HT-29 and inhibit apoptosis via the p38 si展开更多
