Abstract

Background

Mammalian forkhead box transcription factor 1 (FoxM1) has been overexpressed and correlated with pathogenesis in a variety of human malignancies. We investigated the expression status and clinical significance of its overexpression in gastric adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, we demonstrated correlations between FoxM1 overexpression and drug resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in gastric cancer cells and gastric cancer patients treated with chemotherapy.

Methods

Fifty-three (69 %) of 77 tumors were diagnosed as positive for FoxM1 by immunohistochemistry. Multivariate analysis identified FoxM1 expression as a significant independent prognostic predictor for overall and disease-free survival in gastric cancer patients (hazard ratio 3.9 and 3.5, respectively). Furthermore, we investigated associations between FoxM1 overexpression and clinical response of chemotherapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Results

Our clinical results showed that FoxM1 overexpression was significantly associated with resistance in chemotherapy of docetaxel in addition to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus S-1 plus cisplatin (CDDP) and was not significant in chemotherapy of 5-FU plus CDDP for patients with advanced gastric cancer. In vitro experiments showed that Mkn7 transfected FoxM1 siRNA significantly reduced chemoresistance to docetaxel over that with parental cell lines and Mkn45 transfected with FoxM1 significantly enhanced chemoresistance to docetaxel over that with parental cell lines.

Conclusions

Our study showed that FoxM1 was an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Furthermore, we showed that FoxM1 was a critical molecule for chemoresistance to a microtubule-stabilizing anticancer agent, docetaxel. Taken together, those results suggest that inhibition of overexpressed FoxM1 will be a promising therapeutic strategy for advanced gastric cancer.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
