Question: Context: Observational and clinical studies suggest different responses upon sex hormone replacement therapy in ischaemic heart disease. Few studies, however, have examined the impact of oestrogen receptor-dependent mechanisms on the extent of injury after myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, we set out to evaluate the effect of oestrogen (E2) replacement on infarct size and remodelling, and the respective role of the oestrogen receptors (ER)alpha and -beta in this process, using ERalpha- and ERbeta-deficient mice.', 'Wild type (WT) (ERalpha(+/+) and ERbeta(+/+)), ERalpha-deficient (ERalpha(-/-)) and ERbeta-deficient (ERbeta(-/-)) mice were ovariectomized and subsequently supplemented with E2 or placebo using subcutaneous 60-day release pellets. MI was induced by left coronary artery ligation. Two weeks following MI, haemodynamic function was assessed and infarct size was determined.', 'There was no significant difference in infarct size between E2- or placebo-treated WT (ERalpha(+/+) and ERbeta(+/+)) mice. Surprisingly, E2 treatment did result in smaller infarct sizes in ERalpha(-/-) mice, but increased the infarct size in ERbeta(-/-) mice. Increase of the left ventricular mass post-MI was significantly larger in the E2-treated ERalpha(-/-) animals compared with placebo-treated animals. E2 treatment also significantly increased post-MI mortality in ERalpha(+/+), ERbeta(+/+) and ERalpha(-/-) animals, but not in ERbeta(-/-) mice.
Answer: Although E2 modulates the infarct size in ERalpha(-/-), it also appears to be responsible for the higher mortality following MI. ERbeta appears to be the receptor involved in the modulating effects of E2 in the infarcted heart.

Answer: Does oestrogen modulate cardiac ischaemic remodelling through oestrogen receptor-specific mechanisms?


Question: Context: Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) as a regulator of innate inflammatory response has been implicated in tumor progression of gliomas. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic significance and the ligand-receptor interaction of FPR1 in gastric cancer (GC).', 'FPR1 was immunohistochemically-analyzed in tissue sections originating from 116 GC patients. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the assessment of interaction between FPR1 and the FPR1 ligand annexin A1 (AnxA1) in GC cells.', 'High FPR1 expression was significantly associated with stage IV disease, submucosal invasion, serosal invasion, and clinical outcome of GC. Multivariate analysis showed that high FPR1 expression was an independent risk factor of poor overall survival in GC patients. FPR1 expression increased significantly when AnxA1 overexpression was present in GC cells. A positive feedback regulation of FPR1 was involved in the AnxA1-FPR1 signal transduction.
Answer: FPR1 expression may be used as a novel indicator to predict outcome in GC patients after gastrectomy.

Answer: Is formyl Peptide receptor 1 expression associated with tumor progression and survival in gastric cancer?


Question: Context: The aims of this study were to demonstrate the tumorigenicity of CD133+ colon cancer cells in vitro, analyze the correlations between spheroid formation and clinicopathologic variables, and screen for overexpressed genes in CD133+ colon cancer stem cells. Moreover, the aim of this study was to establish a living tumor tissue bank using surgically resected specimens.', 'Using LoVo cell line, we isolated CD133+ cells and performed clonogenic assay and animal experiment to test tumorigenicity of CD133+ cells. Twenty-nine surgical samples were freshly collected from 27 patients who received curative or palliative surgery, and the samples were mechanically and enzymatically dissociated into single cells.', 'We confirmed the enhanced tumorigenicity of CD133+ cells isolated from LoVo cell line both in vitro and in vivo. Of these 29 samples, 8 (28%) contained >3% CD133+ cells. Sphere formation was significantly higher in samples from patients with lymphatic invasion than in those without lymphatic invasion [54.5% (6/11) vs. 12.5% (2/16); P=0.033] and in samples containing >3% of CD133+ cells than in those containing ≤3% of CD133+ cells [36.4% (4/11) vs. 0% (0/16); P=0.019].
Answer: These findings indicate that CD133 is a valid marker for identifying cancer stem cells from fresh surgically resected colorectal cancer tissues. Furthermore, we successfully established a living tumor tissue bank using surgically resected colorectal tissues with a viability of >70%.

Answer:
