Exosomes secreted from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promote pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma growth by transferring miRNAs / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective: To observe the effects of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on the proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, and to analyze the contents of exosomes and explore the mechanisms affecting pancreatic cancer cells. Methods: Exosomes extracted from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were added to pancreatic cancer cells BxPC3, Panc-1 and mouse models of pancreatic cancer, respectively. The proliferative activity and invasion abilities of BxPC3 and Panc-1 cells were measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays. The expressions of miRNAs in exosomes were detected by high-throughput sequencing. GO and KEGG were used to analyze the related functions and the main metabolic pathways of target genes with high expressions of miRNAs. Results: The results of CCK-8 cell proliferation assay showed that the absorbance of BxPC3 and Panc-1 cells in the hucMSCs-exo group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(4.68±0.09) vs. (3.68±0.01), P<0.05; (5.20±0.20) vs. (3.45±0.17), P<0.05]. Transwell test results showed that the number of invasion cells of BxPC3 and Panc-1 in hucMSCs-exo group was significantly higher than that in the control group (129.40±6.02) vs. (89.40±4.39), P<0.05; (134.40±7.02) vs. (97.00±6.08), P<0.05. In vivo experimental results showed that the tumor volume and weight in the exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs-exo) group were significantly greater than that in the control group [(884.57±59.70) mm(3) vs. (695.09±57.81) mm(3), P<0.05; (0.94±0.21) g vs. (0.60±0.13) g, P<0.05]. High-throughput sequencing results showed that miR-148a-3p, miR-100-5p, miR-143-3p, miR-21-5p and miR-92a-3p were highly expressed. GO and KEGG analysis showed that the target genes of these miRNAs were mainly involved in the regulation of glucosaldehylation, and the main metabolic pathways were ascorbic acid and aldehyde acid metabolism, which were closely related to the development of pancreatic cancer. Conclusion: Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can promote the growth of pancreatic cancer cells and the mechanism is related to miRNAs that are highly expressed in exosomes.

Frequently ABL kinase domain G:C→A:T mutation and uracil DNA glycosylase abnormal expression in TKI-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia of Chinese population / 中国实验血液学杂志

Most Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph(+) ALL) patients often show rapid recurrence and development of ABL kinase domain (KD) mutation after tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. To further investigate the mechanism of Ph(+) ALL fast relapse after TKI treatment, ABL KD mutation in 35 Chinese Ph(+) ALL with TKI resistance was detected by direct sequencing. The results showed that 77.1% (27/35) Ph(+) ALL patients with TKI resistance had ABL KD mutation and 55.6% (15/27) Ph(+) ALL patients with ABL KD mutation had T315I. Interestingly, 77.8% (21/27) Ph(+)ALL showed ABL mutation G: C→A:T, including T315I, E255K and E459K. Furthermore, all the Ph(+) ALL patients with two or more ABL KD mutations collaborated with complex chromosome abnormality and all the TKI-resistant Ph(+) ALL patients, whose karyotype progressed from simple t (9;22) into complex, developed ABL KD mutation. Moreover, the expression level of uracil-DNA glycosylase UNG2, which inhibits G:C→A:T transition in genomic DNA, decreased in Ph(+) ALL with TKI-resistance compared to that in newly diagnosis Ph(+) ALL. It is concluded that there is a high frequent ABL KD G:C→A:T mutation and a high genomic instability in Chinese TKI-resistant Ph(+) ALL. In addition, the decreased UNG2 expression in TKI-resistant Ph(+) ALL probably contributes to their high rate of ABL KD G:C→A:T mutation.

The different characteristics of ABL kinase domain mutation in the Chinese Han nationality imatinib resistant Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia / 中华血液学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify the distribution and differentiation of ABL kinase domain mutation in the Chinese Han nationality imatinib resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph(+)ALL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Bone marrow or peripheral blood samples of 112 imatinib resistant CML patients and 21 Ph(+)ALL patients were obtained from the first affiliated hospital of Soochow university according to local law. Total RNA was extracted from the mononuclear cells using a TRIzol reagent. ABL kinase domain (KD) mutation was detected by direct sequencing.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 112 imatinib resistant CML patients, 54.46%(61 cases) had ABL KD mutation. Twenty-three mutants were identified in 20 amino acid sites and 23.21% (26 cases) ABL KD mutations were in P-loop region. ABL KD mutations were also detected in 71.43% (15 cases) imatinib resistant Ph(+)ALL patients, with 10 mutations in 8 amino acid sites. The most frequent mutation was T315I (28.57%), followed by E255K/V (19.05%) and Y253F/H (14.29%). The frequency of T315I was much higher in imatinib resistant Ph(+) ALL than that in imatinib resistant CML (P = 0.001). Ph(+)ALL with additional chromosomal aberrations also had a higher rate of ABL KD mutation than that of CML (P = 0.010). Ph(+)ALL gained ABL KD mutation faster than CML (P < 0.010).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Chinese imatinib resistant CML and Ph(+)ALL patients had different characteristics in ABL KD mutation. The rate of ABL KD mutation in Ph(+)ALL with additional chromosomal aberrations was much higher than that of CML with additional chromosomal aberrations.</p>

Clinical and laboratorial analysis for 15 adult cases of mixed phenotypic acute leukemia with Ph chromosome and/or positive BCR-ABL / 中国实验血液学杂志

The purpose of this study was to summary the clinical and laboratorial features in 15 adult cases of mixed phenotypic acute leukemia with Ph chromosome and/or BCR-ABL fusion gene positive (Ph(+)MPAL), 15 adult patients with Ph(+)MPAL were defined by WHO-2008 classification. The clinical characteristics, results of morphology, immunology, cytogenetics and molecular genetic detections and results of follow-up in 15 adult patients with Ph(+)MPAL were analyzed retrospectively. The results showed that 15 patients among 87 cases of MPAL demonstrated Ph(+)MPAL (17.2%; 15/87) (7 males and 8 females), their median age was 51 (range 16-81) year old and median WBC count at diagnosis was 69 (12.7-921)×10(9)/L. Based on FAB criteria, these patients showed different morphologic types, including AML (13.3%; 2/15), ALL (40.0%; 6/15), HAL (46.7%; 7/15). Immunologic analysis indicated that 15 cases of Ph(-)MPAL were all classified as B-lymphoid +myeloid mixed immunophenotype. Except one patient, all expressed CD34 antigen on the surface of leukemia cells with 64.3% strong positive, only Ph (53.3%; 8/15), Ph with additional chromosomal abnormalities (33.3%; 5/15) and normal karyotype (13.3%; 2/15) were cytogenetically identified. BCR-ABL fusion gene transcript positive were detected by multiplex reverse transcription PCR in all cases, with e1a2 subtype (p190) (40.0%; 6/15) and b2a2 or b3a2 (p210) subtype (60.0%; 9/15). Four out of 7 (57.1%) patients were found to have IKZF1 gene deletion, without other common gene mutations. Seven out of 10 cases (70.0%) achieved complete remission (CR) after one cycle of induction chemotherapy. In the induction stage, CR rate seemed higher when tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) were added to chemotherapy (83.3%:50.0%; P = 0.206). Overall survival (OS) in 4 patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) was longer than that in 4 patients received chemotherapy alone (P = 0.004). It is concluded that Ph(+)MPAL mainly is expressed as B+My phenotype. The majority of patients is older and has CD34 overexpression. In the aspect of molecular genetics, the Ph(+)MPAL is similar to other acute leukemia with Ph chromosome. Ph(+)MPAL is a subtype of acute leukemia with poor prognosis. WBC count at diagnosis is an independent prognostic factor. The combination of TKI and allo-HSCT can improve their long-term survival, which needs to be confirmed through carrying out a prospective and multicenter clinical trial for newly diagnosed Ph(+)MPAL.

Type I interferon and bacterial infection / 浙江大学学报·医学版

Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines playing an important role in immune responses. Interferons are classified into two distinct types according to specific interferon receptors(IFNR). Type I IFNs include IFN-α and IFN-β, whereas IFN-γ is type II IFN. It is well known that type I IFNs have important roles in the host defense against viruses through activation of interferon receptor A (IFNAR). However, many recent studies have also demonstrated that type I IFNs have effects on immune responses to bacterial infection. This review focuses on the immune regulation of type I IFN-mediated signal pathways in bacterial infections such as Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus anthracis, Legionella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and others.

C-kit, NPM1 and FLT3 gene mutation patterns and their prognostic significance in 656 Chinese patients with acute myeloid leukemia / 中华血液学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the prevalence and distribution of C-kit, NPM1 and FLT3 gene mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and to analyze the relationship between the gene mutations and their prognosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Mutations in exon 8 and 17 of C-kit gene, exon 12 of NPM1 gene, exon 20 of FLT3-TKD gene, and exon 14/15 of FLT3-ITD gene were detected by direct sequencing. Clinical data was collected and followed up if the patient had accepted treatment in our hospital.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 656 AML patients, mutations in C-kit exon 8 were found in 6 patients (0.9%), C-kit exon 17 in 33 (5.0%), NPM1 in 169 (25.8%), FLT3-TKD in 46 (7.1%), and FLT3-ITD in 178 (27.1%). Six subtypes of mutations were detected in C-kit exon 8, 8 in C-kit exon 17, 11 in FLT3-TKD, 15 in NPM1, of which 5 were not reported before. C-kit exon 17 mutations were more frequently detected in patients with t(8;21) and exon 8 in patients with inv(16) cytogenetic abnormality. No other gene mutations except FLT3 were detected in M(3) patients. NPM1 and ITD mutations were often detected in individuals with normal cytogenetics or M(5) and M(1) of FAB classification, and accompanied with high white blood cell counts in peripheral blood, high blast counts in bone marrow and low CD34 expression. The older the patients were when diagnosed, the more gene mutations and the higher white blood cell count were detected. More mutations were found in individuals with normal karyotype than that with other karyotypes. It appeared that FLT3-ITD was significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS) (P = 0.004), NPM1 was not significantly associated with OS, but NPM1(+)/ITD(-) patients had the longest OS.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Our results showed that the mutation types and amounts had particular distribution in MICM subtypes, and were associated with white blood cell counts in peripheral blood, blast counts in bone marrow and prognosis. Especially for patients with normal karyotype, the genetic mutations could be new molecule marker.</p>

Efficacy and significance of various scores for pneumonia severity in the management of patients with community-acquired pneumonia in China / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases around the world. Most severe CAP patients are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), and receive intense treatment. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of the pneumonia severity index (PSI), CURB-65, and sepsis score in the management of hospitalized CAP patients and explore the effect of ICU treatment on prognosis of severe cases.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 675 CAP patients hospitalized in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively investigated. The ability of different pneumonia severity scores to predict mortality was compared for effectiveness, while the risk factors associated with 30-day mortality rates and hospital length of stay (LOS) were evaluated. The effect of ICU treatment on the outcomes of severe CAP patients was also investigated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All three scoring systems revealed that the mortality associated with the low-risk or intermediate-risk group was significantly lower than with the high-risk group. As the risk level increased, the frequency of ICU admission rose in tandem and LOS in the hospital was prolonged. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve in the prediction of mortality were 0.94, 0.91 and 0.89 for the PSI, CURB-65 and sepsis score, respectively. Compared with the corresponding control groups, the mortality was markedly increased in patients with a history of smoking, prior admission to ICU, respiratory failure, or co-morbidity of heart disease. The differences were also identified in LOS between control groups and patients with ICU treatment, heart, or cerebrovascular disease. Logistic regression analysis showed that age over 65 years, a history of smoking, and respiratory failure were closely related to mortality in the overall CAP cohort, whereas age, ICU admission, respiratory failure, and LOS at home between disease attack and hospital admission were identified as independent risk factors for mortality in the high-risk CAP sub-group. The 30-day mortality of patients who underwent ICU treatment on admission was also higher than for non-ICU treatment, but much lower than for those patients who took ICU treatment subsequent to the failure of non-ICU treatment.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Each severity score system, CURB-65, sepsis severity score and especially PSI, was capable of effectively predicting CAP mortality. Delayed ICU admission was related to higher mortality rates in severe CAP patients.</p>

The most common cause of injury was road traffic accident (938 cases, 40.98%). People in tertiary industry (900 cases, 78.53%) were most vulnerable to injuries. The zygomatic complex (22.08%), nasal bone (20.67%) and mandible (16.35%) were the most frequent fracture sites, which were often associated with skull (21.74%), brain (38.36%) and soft tissue contusion injury (48.84%). 85.98% (2116/2461 cases), of patients' AIS score was less than 2. Orthopaedics (939/2461 cases, 38.16%) was the first admitted department.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The traffic accidents are the main cause of the maxillofacial fractures. Most injuries are found in the young and middle-aged people.</p>

The incidence of TET2 gene mutation and its clinical significance in acute myeloid leukemia patients / 中华血液学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the prevalence of TET2 gene mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and analyze their clinical characteristics and prognosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing were used to sequence exon 3 to 11 of TET2 gene.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among 96 AML patients, TET2 gene mutation was detected in 13 (13.54%) patients (95%CI 6.70% - 20.38%). The median age was 54 years in mutated group and 41 years in unmutated group (P = 0.010). Mutated and unmutated patients did not significantly differ in gender, white blood cells (WBC) count at diagnosis, platelet count, PB and BM blast percentage and chromosome karyotype, excepting for hemoglobin level 84 (70 - 108) g/L in mutated group versus 70 (55 - 87) g/L in unmutated group (P = 0.032). TET2 gene mutation had no significant correlation with C-KIT, FLT3, JAK2V617F mutations, but did with NPM1 mutation. TET2 mutated patients had lower CR1 rate and 2-year overall survival than unmutated in non-M(3) patients (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>TET2 gene mutation is more prevalent in older AML patients and has a certain correlation with clinical characteristics and outcome. It may be a molecular marker for poor prognosis in AML.</p>

Analysis of tyrosine kinases gene mutations in core binding factor related acute myeloid leukemia and its clinical significance / 中华血液学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the prevalence of several tyrosine kinases (TKs) gene mutations including c-Kit, FLT3 and JAK2 V617F in core binding factor related acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML), and analyze their impact on clinical characteristics and prognosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Mutations of c-Kit, FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD were detected by genomic DNA PCR and sequencing, and JAK2 V617F mutation screening by allele-specific PCR in 58 newly diagnosed CBF-AML patients [28 AML with inv(16) and 30 with t(8;21)], and analyze the patients clinical characteristics and prognoses.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>c-Kit aberrations were detected in 32.8% cases, including 6 cases mutated in exon 8 (mutKIT8) and 13 mutated in exon 17 (mutKIT17). MutKIT8 was more prominent in inv(16) than in t(8;21) patients (21.4% vs 0, P = 0.009). Only 2 cases had FLT3-ITD and 7 (12.1%) FLT3-TKD mutations. The result of JAK2 V617F mutation screenings in these CBF-AML patients was negative. The frequency of receptor tyrosine kinases(RTK) mutations was 46.6% and only one case had two kinds of missense mutations (mutKIT8 & TKD(+)). Median age of onset was higher for mutKIT17 than for wide-type c-Kit (wtKIT) patients (55 vs 31, P = 0.003). c-Kit mutations were significantly associated with decreased overall survival (OS) and continuous complete remission (CCR) rates (P = 0.053, and 0.048 respectively), and so did more for exon17 mutated patients reduced (P = 0.005, and 0.013 respectively). FLT3-TKD mutation showed no effects on prognosis of CBF-AML patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>RTK mutations are common in patients with CBF-AML. c-Kit mutations frequently and JAK2V617F mutation rarely appear in CBF-AML. c-Kit mutations, especially mutKIT17 confers higher relapse risk and poorer prognosis.</p>

Hyperoxygenated solution for improved oxygen supply in patients undergoing lung lavage for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>At present, the most effective treatment for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) remains whole-lung lavage in spite of the usually accompanying severe hypoxemia, which is expected to be prevented by hyperoxygenated solution improving oxygen supply during lavage. In this study, the efficacy and safety of the effect of hyperoxygenated solution were evaluated.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Five patients underwent whole-lung lavage over a 28-month period. Each lung was lavaged with hyperoxygenated (HO) and normal saline solution (plain lactated Ringer's solution, NO) randomly and alternatively until the reclaimed fluid was clear. Random number was generated by computer before every cycle of lavage. If the number was odd, the patient was assigned to receive a lavage cycle with hyperoxygenated solution (HO group, n = 109); if the number was even, normal saline solution was used (NO group, n = 115). Data of saturation of peripheral oxygen (SPO(2)), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), heart rate (HR) and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (P(ET)CO(2)) were taken down at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 seconds from the beginning of the instillation of solution, and frequency and volume of unilateral lung lavage were also recorded. Time interval between the left and the right lung lavage was 1 week.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>No patient was withdrawn from the study due to low SPO(2) or leakage. Oxygen pressure was (730.21 +/- 7.43) mmHg in the hyperoxygenated solution against (175.73 +/- 5.92) mmHg in the normal saline solution (P < 0.01). Compared with baseline, SPO(2) increased significantly as the instillation of solution began (P < 0.01), leveled for about 30 seconds (P > 0.05), and then decreased significantly to the lowest at the time of drainage (compared with 120 seconds or peak, P < 0.01). SPO2 was higher in HO group than in NO group (P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in MAP, HR, CVP and P(ET)CO(2) between HO group and NO group (P > 0.05) and also among different time points (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>During the lung lavage for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, hyperoxygenated solution could significantly improve oxygen supply in comparison with normal saline solution without obvious side effects.</p>
