Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of the application of various chemotherapy schemes based on the immunohistochemical study of expression patterns of proteins associated with the drug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-gp), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), metallothioneins (MT) of breast cancer (BC) patients with the triple-receptor-negative (RE(-), RP(-), HER-2/neu(-)) cancer.
Methods And Results: P-gp, GST and MT expression in BC-biopsy samples from 60 BC patients was evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis. The results of the clinical observations showed that 3-years relapse-free survival rate of the patients of with P-gp, GST and MT-positive tumors treated with taxoter + adriablastin / taxoter + cyclophosphamide (TA/TC), gemcitabine + carboplatin, or TC + bevacizumab was 61.5%, 78.6% and 81.2% respectively, vs 41.2% in the control group with P-gp, GST and MT-negative tumors treated with adriablastin + cyclophosphamide (p<0.05), while overrall suvival rates were 84.4%, 92.6% and 93.8% respectively vs 70.6% in the control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The study points on the possibility to elevate the efficiency of polychemotherapy by its individualization based on the expression patterns of P-gp, GST and MT on tumor cells of the patients with the triple-receptor-negative BC.

The widespread use of climbazole (CBZ) has led to its increased presence in aquatic environments, potentially threatening freshwater ecosystems. However, evidence regarding the harmful effects of CBZ on aquatic organisms remains limited. In this study, Daphnia magna was exposed to CBZ at concentrations of 0, 0.

Background: Chemotherapy resistance is a leading cause of treatment failure in cases of cervical adenocarcinoma (ADC), and no effective treatment approach has yet been found. We previously identified the differentially expressed kynureninase (KYNU) mRNA in cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa) and cervical adenocarcinoma cisplatin resistance cells (HeLa/DDP) using gene chips. However, the role and potential mechanism of KYNU in the cisplatin resistance of cervical adenocarcinoma remain unclear.

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a fatal disease and ranks as the third most prevalent cancer globally. Stemness and drug resistance are the main causes of tumor recurrence in CRC. This study attempted to probe the impact of TWIST1 on CRC stemness and resistance to oxaliplatin and to uncover the underlying regulatory mechanism of TWIST1.

A chronic toxicity test (21 d exposure) with the model organism Daphnia magna was performed to study the single-compound and combined effects of four fragrance materials (FMs), including musk xylene (MX), Celestolide™ (ADBI), Galaxolide™ (HHCB), and ethylene brassylate (MT). Furthermore, the transcriptional responses of ten target genes related to detoxification, molting and reproduction (DHR96, P-gp, CYP360A8, GST, CYP314, EcRb, Vtg, CAT, GPX, and GCLC) were determined by performing a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‒PCR) after juvenile D. magna was exposed for 48 h.

Atorvastatin (ATV) is a hypolipidemic drug widely detected in the aquatic environment. Nevertheless, limited information is provided about the toxic effects of ATV on estuary or coastal species and the underlying mechanisms. In the present study, the responses of genes expression in pregnane X receptor (PXR) signaling pathway and enzymatic activities in the liver of the estuarine benthic fish (Mugilogobius chulae) were investigated under acute and sub-chronic ATV exposure.
