Patients were divided into 2 groups: lapatinib combined with taxeme-based chemotherapy group (group A; n=25, age: 29-65 (47.8±11.3) years) and lapatinib monotherapy group (group B; n=35, age: 31-62 (51.1±8.5) years). All patients underwent gated equilibration ventriculography before treatment and 6/12 months after treatment. The parameters of left ventricular function including left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), peak ejection rate (PER), peak filling rate (PFR), 1/3 ejection fraction (EF), 1/3 filling fraction (FF), time to peak ejection rate (TPER) and time of peak filling rate (TPFR) were observed. Repeated measurement analysis of variance, independent-samples t test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were performed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000In group A, the PER at 12 months after treatment ((3.11±0.48) end-diastolic volume (EDV)/s) was lower than that before treatment ((3.60±0.62) EDV/s; F=3.447, t=0.60, P 0.05); the PFR at 6 months ((3.07±0.71) EDV/s) and 12 months after treatment ((2.84±0.54) EDV/s) declined significantly compared with that before treatment ((3.57±0.81) EDV/s; F=5.345, t=0.82 and 0.75, both P<0.05). In group B, the PFR at 12 months after treatment ((2.86±0.55) EDV/s) declined significantly compared with that before treatment ((3.23±0.87) EDV/s; F=3.214, t=0.84, P<0.05). The decrease of PFR at 6 months and 12 months after treatment in group A was greater than that in group B (-0.37(-0.78, 0.15) vs -0.13(-0.44, 0.17) EDV/s; z=-1.569, P<0.05). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000The gated equilibration ventriculography can effectively monitor the left ventricular function of breast cancer patients after targeted therapy. PER and PFR may be more sensitive than other parameters to assess heart function changes. The lapatinib combined with taxeme-based chemotherapy can affect diastolic function more and earlier than lapatinib monotherapy. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Breast neoplasms; Molecular targeted therapy; Cardiotoxicity; Ventricular function, left; Gated blood-pool imaging","PeriodicalId":10099,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging","volume":"39 1","pages":"587-590"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42585914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Viruses often coopt the same cellular proteins and pathways to support their replication in infected cells. Therefore, we screened the <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> effectors to probe virus-host interactions and identify factors that modulate tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) replication in yeast surrogate host. Among 302 <i>Legionella</i> effectors tested, 28 effectors affected TBSV replication. To unravel a coopted cellular pathway in TBSV replication, the identified DrrA effector from <i>Legionella</i> was further exploited. We find that expression of DrrA in yeast or plants blocks TBSV replication through inhibiting the recruitment of Rab1 small GTPase and endoplasmic reticulum-derived COPII vesicles into the viral replication compartment. TBSV hijacks Rab1 and COPII vesicles to create enlarged membrane surfaces and optimal lipid composition within the viral replication compartment. To further validate our <i>Legionella</i> effector screen, we used the <i>Legionella</i> effector LepB lipid kinase to confirm the critical proviral function of PI(3)P phosphoinositide and the early endosomal compartment in TBSV replication. We demonstrate the direct inhibitory activity of LegC8 effector on TBSV replication using a cell-free replicase reconstitution assay. LegC8 inhibits the function of eEF1A, a coopted proviral host factor. Altogether, the identified bacterial effectors with anti-TBSV activity could be powerful reagents in cell biology and virus-host interaction studies.
