ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Colorectal carcinogenesis and progression are related to the gut microbiota and the tumor immune microenvironment. Our previous clinical trial demonstrated that berberine (BBR) hydrochloride might reduce the recurrence and canceration of colorectal adenoma (CRA). The present study aimed to further explore the mechanism of BBR in preventing colorectal cancer (CRC).@*METHODS@#We performed metagenomics sequencing on fecal specimens obtained from the BBR intervention trial, and the differential bacteria before and after medication were validated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We further performed ApcMin/+ animal intervention tests, RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.@*RESULTS@#The abundance of fecal Veillonella parvula ( V . parvula ) decreased significantly after BBR administration ( P = 0.0016) and increased through the development from CRA to CRC. Patients with CRC with a higher V. parvula abundance had worse tumor staging and a higher lymph node metastasis rate. The intestinal immune pathway of Immunoglobulin A production was activated, and the expression of TNFSF13B (Tumor necrosis factor superfamily 13b, encoding B lymphocyte stimulator [BLyS]), the representative gene of this pathway, and the genes encoding its receptors (interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor beta) were significantly upregulated. Animal experiments revealed that V. parvula promoted colorectal carcinogenesis and increased BLyS levels, while BBR reversed this effect.@*CONCLUSION@#BBR might inhibit V. parvula and further weaken the immunomodulatory effect of B cells induced by V. parvula , thereby blocking the development of colorectal tumors.@*TRIAL REGISTRAION@#ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT02226185.

ABSTRACT

Intestinal fungal dysbiosis is closely associated with the development and progression of many diseases including tumors. The disruption of fungal communities is involved in tumorigenesis and progression through inducing aberrant host immune responses and the production of certain metabolites as well as promoting the establishment of interactions with bacteria. Fungal dysbiosis is a potential marker for early detection of digestive tumors and a factor influencing the efficacy of tumor therapy. Studying the association between gut fungi and digestive tumors may facilitate the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of digestive tumors.

ABSTRACT

Background: ZNF460 is a member of the zinc finger protein family transcription factors, and is involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular functions. It has been demonstrated to be closely related to digestive system cancers. Aims: To analyze the expression level of ZNF460 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and explore the effect and potential mechanisms of ZNF460 on tumor cell proliferation. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the expression level of ZNF460 in tissue microarray of 76 HCC and paired adjacent tissues, and the correlation between ZNF460 expression and TNM staging was analyzed. The effect of ZNF460 on HCC cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK‑ 8 and colony formation assays. Genes positively related to ZNF460 expression in HCC were screened through LinkedOmics database, and the KEGG and GSEA pathway enrichment analyses were performed; the possible downstream molecules of ZNF460 were explored and verified by overexpression or knockdown of ZNF460 in HCC cells combined with luciferase reporter assay and other experiments. Results: ZNF460 was highly expressed in HCC and was positively correlated with TNM staging. ZNF460 promoted the proliferation of HCC cells, and the underlying mechanism might be associated with the transcriptional activation of ZDHHC7, the coding gene of palmitoyl transferase DHHC7 and the subsequent STAT3 palmitoylation and phosphorylation. Conclusions: ZNF460 is highly expressed in HCC and promotes cell proliferation and tumor progression via STAT3 activation. It might be a promising molecular marker and therapeutic target for HCC.

ABSTRACT

Background: Enteroscopy-based biopsy pathology has high diagnostic value for suspected small bowel diseases. Retrograde single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is difficult to operate due to the influence of colonic segment. Transparent cap has been widely used in the diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedure, which is conducive for inserting the enteroscope and stabilizing the intestinal cavity. Aims: To explore the role of transparent cap in retrograde SBE. Methods: A total of 64 cases of patients who were hospitalized for retrograde SBE in Suzhou Wuzhong People's Hospital were recruited and allocated into 2 groups according to the random number table method, with 32 cases in each group. Patients in experimental group received cap-assisted SBE and those in control group received routine SBE. All procedures were performed by an experienced senior endoscopist. Outcomes measured included time to reach the ileocecus, terminal ileum intubation rate, depth of insertion, diagnostic yield, and the related complications. Results: The mean time to reach the ileocecus was shorter in experimental group than in control group [(11.8±2.0) min vs. (13.6±2.8) min, P0.05). No severe complications were observed in all the cases. Conclusions: Cap-assisted retrograde SBE is an efficient method for optimizing the intubation rate, insertion depth and procedure time, and is suitable for promotion in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Background:Deoxyhypusine synthase(DHPS)is a key factor in post-translational modification of the precursor of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A(eIF-5A),and eIF-5A is closely related to the regulation of proliferation and invasion of tumor cells. Aims:To investigate the expression of DHPS in gastric cancer and its clinical significance,and to explore the possible mechanism of its effect on metastasis of gastric cancer. Methods:Tissue microarray containing 92 gastric cancer tissues and paired adjacent cancerous tissues was employed to detect the DHPS expression by using immunohistochemical staining,and the correlation of DHPS expression with the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer was analyzed. DHPS-siRNA and GC7,an inhibitor of DHPS were used,respectively to intervene human gastric cancer cell line MGC803. The invasive ability of MGC803 cells was assessed by cell invasion assay,and the expressions of metastasis-related proteins including vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2)and MMP9 were detected by ELISA. Results:In 62(67.4%)cases of gastric cancer,DHPS was highly expressed,and its expression was closely related to tumor diameter,TNM stage and depth of invasion(P <0.05),but not related to gender,age,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis(P >0. 05). Both DHPS-siRNA and GC7 could down-regulate the invasiveness of MGC803 cells,while the former could also reduce the expressions of VEGF,MMP2 and MMP9 proteins(P <0.05). Conclusions:DHPS is highly expressed in gastric cancer and associated with tumor invasion and progression. DHPS is expected to be a new target for diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer because of its regulatory effect on invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.

ABSTRACT

Most colorectal cancers develop from adenomas. Environmental factors play an important role in the development and progression of adenoma. Recently,epidemiologic investigations on lifestyle change including diet and exercise and drug intervention studies have proved the relationship between environmental factors and colorectal cancer. Screening,polypectomy and surveillance via colonoscopy are the main measures of colorectal cancer prevention. However, the efficacy is unsatisfactory. Therefore,attention should be paid to studies on colorectal cancer prophylaxis via intervention on environmental factors. Emphasis should be put on various aspects of environmental intervention in clinical practice,and prophylaxis strategies should be generated individually in accordance with the local condition and situation.

ABSTRACT

Colorectal cancer remains a major threat to people’s health around the world. Researchers have paid more and more attention to colorectal cancer epigenetics. From two main aspects of colorectal cancer epigenetics: DNA methylation and histone modiifcation, this article analyzes the similarities and differences between patients with colorectal cancer in Eastern and Western countries. This review brielfy introduces epigenetic modiifcation of genes that were used to be biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Although there are some common features of colorectal cancer in the world, analysis has showed that some obvious epigenetic differences do exist in different races. For example, it had been conifrmed in the studies that there are differences in speciifc gene methylation, histone modiifcation sites and the degree of methylation and acetylation among countries, which provide the basis for speciifc diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of colorectal cancer in different ethnic groups. With improved research methods and increased sample size, more and more special molecular targets of colorectal cancer tissues will be found, and then personalized therapy for colorectal cancer can be achieved.
