  • Expression of periostin in small cell lung cancer and its effect on chemoresistance

    Objective To detect the difference of periostin expression in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell, and explore its effect on chemoresistance of SCLC patients. Methods The expression of periostin in mRNA and protein was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in SCLC H69 and multidrug resistant strain H69AR. The expression of periostin was up-regulated by recombinant plasmid-periostin in H69 cell. The survival rate in the transfected group was different from that of the negative control group and uninterrupted group. Results The expression of periostin mRNA and protein in the sensitive strain H69 was lower than that of the multidrug resistant strain H69AR (P<0.05). The recombinant periostin-plasmid was transfected into H69 cells and at the same concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs (cisplatin, etoposide) the survival rate increased significantly (P<0.05). The positive expression rate of periostin in SCLC tissues was 67.44%, and the sensitivity of the chemotherapy group was lower than that of the drug resistant group (P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of periostin in SCLC cell H69 is significantly lower than that of the multidrug resistant strain H69AR and overexpression of periostin increases resistance of the sensitive strain H69 and hence periostin may be involved in SCLC chemoresistance.

  • The detection and clinical role of periostin in BLAF of patients with dermatomyositis- and rheumatoid arthritis-related interstitial lung disease

    ObjectiveTo explore the expression of periostin in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients with dermatomyositis-related interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD) and rheumatoid arthritis-related interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD).MethodsA total of 44 patients with DM-ILD and 28 patients with RA-ILD were underwent bronchoalveolar lavage. Cells in BALF were collected and analyzed by absolute different cell counts. The level of periostin and Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results of high resolution CT of patients were scored. Thirty patients without interstitial lung disease (ILD) served as a control group.ResultsLevels of periostin and KL-6 were significantly increased in BALF of patients with DM-ILD and RA-ILD compared with control group (all P<0.05). Levels of periostin were positively correlated with lymphocyte counts and levels of KL-6 in BALF (allP<0.05). Furthermore, levels of periostin were significantly correlated with high resolution CT scores (P<0.05).ConclusionsLevels of periostin are increased in patients with DM-ILD and RA-ILD. Periostin might be served as an indicator of CTD-ILD.
