USP25 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by interacting with TRIM21 via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. The ubiquitin-specific peptidase 25 (USP25) protein has been reported to participate in the development of several cancers. However, few studies have reported its association with HCC. In this study, we aimed to investigate the function and mechanism of USP25 in the progression of HCC.@*METHODS@#We analyzed USP25 protein expression in HCC based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) database cohorts. Then, we constructed USP25-overexpressing and USP25-knockdown HepG2, MHCC97H, and L-O2 cells. We detected the biological function of USP25 by performing a series of assays, such as Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays. Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses were performed to detect the interaction between USP25 and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The relationship between USP25 and tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21) was assessed through mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) analysis. Finally, we constructed a mouse liver cancer model with the USP25 gene deletion to verify in vivo role of USP25.@*RESULTS@#USP25 was highly expressed in HCC tissue and HCC cell lines. Importantly, high expression of USP25 in tissues was closely related to a poor prognosis. USP25 knockdown markedly reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells, whereas USP25 overexpression led to the opposite effects. In addition, we demonstrated that USP25 interacts with TRIM21 to regulate the expression of proteins related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT; E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Snail) and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway (β-catenin, Adenomatous polyposis coli, Axin2 and Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta) and those of their downstream proteins (C-myc and Cyclin D1). Finally, we verified that knocking out USP25 inhibited tumor growth and distant metastasis in vivo .@*CONCLUSIONS@#In summary, our data showed that USP25 was overexpressed in HCC. USP25 promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of HCC cells by interacting with TRIM21 to activate the β-catenin signaling pathway.

Prognostic effect of MyD88L265P gene mutation in cerebrospinal fluid in primary central nervous system lymphoma / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective:This study has investigated the value of detecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) MyD88L265P mutation and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels in the prognosis of PCNSL.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data, CSF characteristics (including cytology, cell counting, total protein, and the level of cytokine IL-10) and treatment process of 39 PCNSL patients newly diagnosed by surgery and pathology (18 males and 21 females, aged 40-73 years) from August 2013 to December 2016 in Hua Shan Hospital North. MyD88L265P mutation was detected by digital PCR in 39 paraffin-embedded tissues and 35 cerebrospinal fluid samples. Log-rank test was used for univariate analysis and Cox regression for multivariate analysis to establish the prognosis model of PCNSL which might be related to PCNSL first progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Results:The median age of the 39 PCNSL patients was 59 years old, with 30.8% (12/39) intraocular involvement. The mutation rate of MyD88L265P in tissues and cerebrospinal fluid was 74.4% (29/39) and 40.0% (14/35), respectively. 51.9% (14/27) patients were observed with MyD88L265P mutation in both tissues and CFS. Univariate analysis showed that intraocular involvement, high level of IL-10 in CFS (≥45 pg/ml), and MyD88L265P mutation in CFS are factors significantly influencing median progression-free survival (mPFS) of patients ( P<0.05). Patients with intraocular involvement had shorter OS than those without involvement which was statistically significant ( HR=6.5,95% CI 1.7-47.3, P<0.05). And multivariate analysis showed that intraocular involvement ( HR=2.4, 95% CI 1.3-7.8, P<0.05) and CFS MyD88L265P mutation ( HR=2.1, 95% CI 1.1-5.7, P<0.05) were independent prognostic factors for PFS. Conclusion:The presence of intraocular involvement and MyD88L265P mutation in CFS indicated poor prognosis of PCNSL patients. High CSF IL-10 level was not an independent factor affecting prognosis.

The association between mesenteric fat hypertrophy and behavior and activity of Crohn′s disease / 中华内科杂志

Objective:Mesenteric fat hypertrophy is present in about a quarter of Crohn′s disease (CD) patients and it can be easily detected by bowel ultrasound (US). The purpose of this research was to assess the correlation between mesenteric fat hypertrophy and behavior and activity of CD.Methods:A total of 89 CD patients who admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from August 2018 to November 2019 were recruited in this study. The total CD patients were divided into two groups depending on with or without mesenteric fat hypertrophy by US tests. Crohn′s disease activity index (CDAI), simplified endoscopic score for Crohn′s disease (SES-CD), serum inflammatory indicators and fecal calprotectin were assessed.Results:Mesenteric fat hypertrophy was significantly associated with stricturing behavior (B2, P<0.01). CDAI ( P=0.002) , blood platelet ( P=0.001) , C-reactive protein ( P=0.024) , fecal calprotectin ( P=0.004) and bowel wall thickness ( P<0.01) in patients with mesenteric fat hypertrophy were significantly higher than those without, but not the erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( P=0.110) and SES-CD ( P=0.115) . Serum albumin ( P=0.001) in patients with mesenteric fat hypertrophy was lower than that in patients without mesenteric fat hypertrophy. Conclusion:Mesenteric fat hypertrophy is correlated with intestinal stenosis and disease activity in patients with Crohn′s disease.

Analysis of clinical characteristics of asymptomatic carriers with 2019 novel coronavirus / 中华传染病杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of asymptomatic carriers with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), and to provide clinical guidance for the management of asymptomatic infection with 2019-nCoV.Methods:The clinical data of 663 patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 11 to February 6, 2020 were collected. Patients were divided into asymptomatic group (21 cases) and symptomatic group (642 cases) according to the diagnostic criteria. General conditions, clinical classification, death, chest computed tomograph (CT) and laboratory results of patients were retrospectively collected. Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test and Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results:All 663 patients were positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid tests. The age of patients in the asymptomatic group were significantly younger than those in symptomatic group (35.0 (31.5, 58.0) years old vs 58.5 (45.0, 69.0) years old, U=4 234.500, P=0.002). The proportion of patients <30 years old in the two groups was significantly different (19.0%(4/21) vs 6.1%(39/642), Fisher exact test, P=0.047). There were 15 women (71.4%) in the asymptomatic group and 327 women (50.9%) in the symptomatic group, while the difference of gender distributions was not statistically significant ( χ2=3.420, P=0.064). In addition, among patients with asymptomatic infection, the proportions of mild/ordinary, severe and critical patients were 10 cases (47.6%), 10 cases (47.6%), and one case (4.8%), respectively, which were not significantly different from those in symptomatic group (244 cases (38.0%), 305 cases (47.5%) and 93 cases (14.5%), respectively, χ2=1.847, P=0.397). As of February 9, one(4.8%) mild/ordinary patient in the asymptomatic group died who had malignant tumor. Twenty-four (3.7%) patients in the symptomatic group died including two mild/ordinary and 22 critical patients. There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups(Fisher exact test, P=0.560). CT examination was performed on 594 patients, and 591 cases (99.5%) showed unilateral or bilateral pneumonia, and three cases (0.5%) showed normal. Conclusions:Patients with asymptomatic infection with 2019-nCoV are younger than symptomatic patients, and there are more patients under 30 years old in the asymptomatic group. The absence of clinical symptoms is not significantly associated with clinical classifications and mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Expressions of BAP1 and TET2 proteins in bone marrow of patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and their significances / 白血病·淋巴瘤

Objective To investigate the expressions of BAP1 and TET2 proteins in bone marrow of patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and their relationship with the prognosis of CMML. Methods The bone marrow paraffin specimens of 41 cases from 41 adult CMML patients diagnosed by Shanghai Sino-US Joint Leukemia Coordination Group from September 2003 to May 2007 were collected. The immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of BAP1 and TET2 proteins in 41 CMML patients. The expressions of TET2 and BAP1 proteins were also detected by the same method in 40 adult patients with acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) and 20 patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) diagnosed at the same time as the comparison. The clinical data of 41 CMML patients were analyzed by using retrospective cohort study. The count data were compared by using chi-square test. The correlation between expressions of BAP1 and TET2 proteins was analyzed by using Pearson correlation analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival time, and Log-rank test was used for single factor analysis. Results In 41 CMML patients, the positive expression rate of BAP1 was 31.7％ (13/41), including 28.6％ (8/28) in CMML-1 patients and 38.5％ (5/13) in CMML-2 patients; the positive expression rate of TET2 was 41.5％ (17/41), including 39.3％ (11/28) in CMML-1 patients and 46.2％ (6/13) in CMML-2 patients. In 40 AMML patients, the positive expression rate of BAP1 was 32.5％ (13/40), and the positive expression rate of TET2 was 35.0％ (14/40). In 20 IDA patients, the positive expression rate of BAP1 was 5.0％ (1/20), and TET2 had no positive expression. There was no significant difference in the expressions of BAP1 and TET2 proteins between CMML-1 and CMML-2 patients (χ 2 = 0.40, P = 0.53; χ 2 = 0.17, P = 0.68). There was no significant difference in the expressions of BAP1 and TET2 proteins between CMML and AMML patients (χ 2 = 0.01, P = 0.94; χ 2 = 0.36, P = 0.64). There were significant differences in the positive expression rate of BAP1 and TET2 proteins between hematological neoplastic disease (CMML+AMML) and hematological non-neoplastic disease (IDA) (χ 2 = 6.01, P < 0.05; χ 2 = 11.04, P < 0.01). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between expressions of BAP1 and TET2 proteins (r = 0.35, P = 0.27). Univariate analysis showed that anemia (Hb < 60 g/L), mature monocyte count ≥ 2.0×109/L, neutrophil count (1.5×109/L), abnormal karyotype were associated with poor prognosis for CMML. Protein expressions of BAP1 and TET2 were not related with the prognosis of CMML (χ 2 = 0.28, P = 0.600; χ 2 = 0.53, P = 0.460). Conclusion Both BAP1 and TET2 proteins have high positive expression rates in CMML patients, but the expressions of them are not related to the prognosis.

Mechanism of promoted neovascularization by SVF after fat grafting / 中华整形外科杂志

Stromal vascular fraction(SVF)are the remaining cells after removing mature fat cells in the adipose tissue. Containing a certain amount of adipose derived stem cells(ADSCs), SVF also includes many other cells, which may have the potential of promoting angiogenesis. In this review, the role of SVF in angiogenesis after fat transplantation was summarized by intensive reading relative literature in recent years. The result is that angiogenesis and fat graft revascularization are regulated by various factors: SVF promotes secretion of a diverse array of cytokines and growth which are capable of stabilizing endothelium vascular network. ADSCs have the potential of differentiating into smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells which can coroperate to form new blood vessels.

Secretion of extracellular matrix were inhibited by Exendin-4 treatment through MAPK-NF-κB related inflammation in high glucose-induced glomerular mesangial cells / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective To explore the effects and related mechanism of Exendin-4 on secretion of extracellular matrix in high glucose-induced glomerular mesangial cells(GMCs). Methods GMCs were incubated in medium with glucose or Exendin-4 for the four groups: normal glucose group(NG group): cells were treated in medium with 5.6 mmol/L glucose; NG with Exendin-4 treatment group(NGE group): cells were treated with 5.6 mmol/L glucose and Exendin-4; high glucose group(HG group): cells were cultured with 30 mmol/L glucose; HG with Exendin-4 treatment group(HGE group): cells were treated with 30 mmol/L glucose and Exendin-4 at concentration of 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 nmol/L separately, which were cultured for 12, 24, 48 hours. GMCs treated with Exendin-4 were determined by assessing proliferation using a CCK8 method. The levels of fibronectin(FN), collagen type Ⅳ(Col-Ⅳ)in the cell supernatant were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The gene levels of Col-Ⅳ, FN, and expression of inflammatory mediators including monocyte chemotactic protein 1(MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)were evaluated using reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR); The expression of nuclear transcription factor-κB(NF-κB), glucagon-like peptide-l receptor(GLP-1R), and phosphorylation levels of mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPKs)were evaluated by Western blot. Results(1)After treatment with 10 nmol/L Exendin-4 for 24 hour, the proliferation rate of GMCs was significantly decreased compared with 3 nmol/L, 5 nmol/L Exendin-4 treatment(P0.05). (2)The gene expression of FN, Col-Ⅳ and the inflammatory mediators, MCP-1, TNF-α, ICAM-1, TGF-β1 in HG group were significantly increased compared with the NG group,(all P<0.05). After treatment with Exendin-4, the levels of FN, Col-Ⅳ and the gene expression of TNF-α, MCP-1, ICAM-1, TGF-β1 were decreased(all P<0.05). (3)Compared with NG group, the expression of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinases(p-Erk1/2), Jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK)and, p38MAPK(p-p38MAPK)in the group of HG group were increased significantly, accompanied by the decrease of GLP-1R protein level(all P<0.05). Importantly, Exendin-4 treatment significantly reduced protein expression of p-Erk1/2, p-JNK, and NF-κB(all P<0.05), and the level of GLP-1R protein increased(P<0.05). Furthermore, specific Erk1/2, JNK or NF-κB inhibitors markedly blocked Exendin-4-mediated decrease in the levels of FN, Col-Ⅳ. Conclusion Exendin-4 treatment inhibits the secretion of extracellular matrix potentially through Erk1/2, JNK/NF-κB signaling in higher glucose induced GMCs.

Objective To preliminarily investigate the clinical value of serum procalciton as a noninvasive marker in disease activity assessment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods From January 2014 to June 2016,clinical data of 107 IBD patients were collected,including biological inflammatory parameters of peripheral blood such as serum procalcitonin levels,C-reactive protein (CRP) levels,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and platelet count,clinical disease activity scores and endoscopic activity scores.The serum level of procalcitonin was measured using the traditional electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECL) method.The accuracy of diagnosis was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman's rank correlation were performed for comparison between groups and correlation analysis.Results In the 60 patients with Crohn's disease (CD),the median serum level of procalcitonin of patients in active phase was higher than that of patients in remission phase (0.066 mg/L,0.047 mg/L to 0.168 rng/L vs 0.033 mg/L,0.024 mg/L to 0.044 mg/L),the median serum level of procalcitonin of patients in moderate to severe active phase was higher than that of patients in mild phase (0.112 mg/L,0.062 mg/L to 0.234 mg/L vs 0.046 mg/L,0.040 mg/L to 0.054 mg/L),and the differences were statistically significant (Z=4.883 and 3.326,both P＜0.01).There was a positive correlation between serum procalcitonin level and CRP,ESR,platelet count,plateletcrit,Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) and Crohn's disease endoscopic index of severity (CDEIS) (r=0.494,0.387,0.339,0.328,0.736 and 0.689,all P＜0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of serum procalcitonin level ≥ 0.055 mg/L in predicting moderate to severe active CD were 85.0％ and 88.9％,respectively.The area under ROC curve (AUC) value of the combination of procalcitonin and CRP in diagnosing moderate to severe active CD was 0.905 (95 ％CI 0.827 to 0.982).In the 47 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC),the median serum procalcitonin level of patients in moderate to severe active phase was higher than those of patients in mild active phase and remission phase (0.059 mg/L,0.033 mg/L to 0.100 mg/L;0.030 mg/L,0.020 mg/L to 0.048 mg/L;0.030 mg/L,0.021 mg/L to 0.057 mg/L),and the differences were statistically significant (Z=2.056 and 2.783,P=0.040 and 0.005).Serum procalcitonin level was positively correlated with Mayo score,CRP level and Baron score (r=0.468,0.573 and 0.347,all P＜0.05).The specificity of serum procalcitonin level ≥0.065 mg/L in predicting moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis diagnosis was high but the sensitivity was low.Conclusion Serum procalcitonin may be of value in indicating the disease activity and severity.

Effects of functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on human peripheral blood mononuclear cell / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Objective To explore the effects of surface functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (FMWCNTs) on the cytotoxicity of human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC).Methods Five different types of MWCNTs (hydroxylated,carboxylated,aminated,nickel-plated and pristine MWCNTs (P-MWCNTs)) with the same diameter and length were evaluated the dispersion and characterizations in physiological salt solution by transmission electron microscopy.PBMC were isolated by density gradient centrifugation from human peripheral blood,and 5 types of MWCNTs were ultrasonically dispersed in serum-containing medium respectively.After incubation with PBMC for 12,24,48 or 72 h,cytotoxicity was detected by CCK-8 kits.Results All the MWCNTs had well dispersion,especially the F-MWCNTs.Cytotoxicity results showed that all types of MWCNTs could induced PBMC death,and presented dose-dependence manner and a certain degree of time-dependence manner.Compared with the P-MWCNTs,F-MWCNTs changed cytotoxicity statistically,with the hydroxylated,carboxylated,aminated MWCNTs weakened,aminated MWCNTs significant (P＜0.05),nevertheless the nickel-plated MWCNTs increased.Compared with the P-MWCNTs (25 μg/ml),cell viability of PBMC after 24 and 48 h incubation with the same dose of nickelplated MWCNTs both decreased,and the differences was statistically significant (P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusions The functional group modification affects not only the MWCNTs dispersion in medium,but also the cytotoxicity of the MWCNTs on PBMC.
