The effects of aerobic training on Nf-kB, Lin28B and let-7a microRNA expressions and levels of tumor tissue IL-6 in mice with breast cancer

The aim of this study was to assess The effects of aerobic training on Nf-kB, Lin28B and let-7a microRNA expressions and levels of tumor tissue IL-6 in mice with breast cancer. Twenty BALB/c c mice (4-5 weeks,17g mass) were cancerous by injection of estrogen-dependent receptor breast cancer cells MC4-L2 and divided into two groups: tumor-training(TT) and tumor-control(TC) group. Then TT group completed aerobic training for 6 weeks, 5 days per week (14-18 m/min). 48 hours after the last exercise subjects were sacrificed. Tissue sampling were collected and stored in -70ᵒ. Nf-kB, Lin28B and let-7a microRNA expressions were accounted with Real time-PCR and IL-6 levels was accounted with ELISA Kit. Repeated measures and independent t tests were used to assess tumor size and IL-6, respectively. Statistical analysis of Nf-kB, Lin28B and let-7a were conducted by REST software. Tumor size, Nf-kB, Lin28B and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased in TT group compare with TC group (p<0.05). microRNA let-7a was significantly increased in TT against control group respectively (p=0.000). In breast cancer, a positive feedback loop consisting of Nf-kB, Lin28B, microRNA let-7a and IL-6 is activated. It seems that regarding to the depressing effects of aerobic training on this regulatory circuit in mice with breast cancer, This type of training can be used as adjuvant therapy in conjunction with other therapies for estrogen receptor dependent breast cancer.
