Objective@#To investigate the relationship of procollagen-lysine 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 2 (PLOD2) expression and the clinical characteristics of osteosarcoma, and explore the potential mechanism of tumour metastasis promoted by PLOD2.@*Methods@#The expression of PLOD2 in osteosarcoma tissues and paired adjacent tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR. Correlation of PLOD2 expression in osteosarcoma with the clinical pathologic features was analyzed by Chi square test and Kaplan-Meier analysis.Fibrillar collagen formation and collagen deposition in the tumor tissues were detected by picrosirius red staining. We transfected U-2OS cells with LV-vector, LV-over/PLOD2, sh-NC and sh-PLOD2. The expression of PLOD2 was detected by qRT-PCR. The impact of POLD2 on U-2OS cell invasion was determined by wound-healing assay and Transwell migration assay. The expressions of PLOD2/FAK/JAK2-STAT3 signal pathway related proteins were detected by western blotting.@*Results@#The high expression level of PLOD2 in osteosarcoma tissues was 72.5%, significantly higher than 0% in paired adjacent noncancerous tissues (P<0.01), the expression of PLOD2 was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis, pulmonary metastasis and poor outcome (P<0.01). The same results were also observed in qRT-PCR assay. The median survival time of patients with high expression of PLOD2 protein was 13 months, significantly shorter than 32 months of patients with low expression of PLOD2 (P<0.05). The result of picrosirius red staining showed that the percentage of collagen fiber deposition in the osteosarcoma tissue with high level of PLOD2 was (74.43+ 9.63)%, significantly higher than (9.67±1.28)% in tissue with low expression of PLOD2 (P<0.001). The result of wound-healing and Transwell migration assay showed that over-expression of PLOD2 markedly promoted the invasion, however, knockdown of PLOD2 suppressed the invasion of U-2OS cells (both P<0.01). The result of western blotting showed that over-expression of PLOD2 significantly increased the expression levels of p-FAK, p-JAK2, p-STAT3, but knockdown PLOD2 decreased the levels of p-FAK, p-JAK2, p-STAT3 in U-2OS cells.@*Conclusions@#Up-regulation of PLOD2 in osteosarcoma is correlated with lymphatic and distant metastasis. PLOD2 promotes invasion and metastasis of osteosarcoma might through FAK/JAK2-STAT3 signal pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the effect and mechanism of long non-coding RNA-metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1, (LncRNA-MALAT1) on invasion and metastasis of esophageal cancer cell EC-109.@*Methods@#EC-109 cells were transfected with lentiviral vector carrying short hairpin RNA of MALAT1( shRNA-MALAT1) or a nonspecific shRNA control (shRNA-control). The expressions of MALAT1, microRNA-200a, ZEB1 and ZEB2 were detected by qRT-PCR. The effect of shRNA-MALAT1 on invasion of EC-109 cells was determined by transwell assay. The expressions of components of epithelial-msenchymal transition pathway in EC-109 cells were determined by immunofluorescence array and western blotting. The expression relationship between MALAT1 and miR-200a in EC-109 cells was detected by dual-luciferase reporter assay.@*Results@#The result of qRT-PCR showed that the expressions levels of MALAT1, ZEB1 and ZEB2 in shRNA-MALAT1 group were 0.43±0.06, 0.64±0.04 and 0.51±0.04, respectively, significantly lower than 0.97±0.08, 1.06±0.07 and 0.98±0.05 in shRNA-control group and 1 in control group, respectively(all P<0.05). Transwell assay showed that the number of invaded cells in shRNA MALAT1 group was (96.81±10.43) per low-power field, markedly lower than that of (278.44±13.28) per low-power field in shRNA-control group (P<0.01). Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting showed that MALAT1 downregulation significantly reduced the expressions of proteins related to EMT signal pathway in EC-109 cells.Dual luciferase reporter assay showed that compared to negative control, the activities of luciferase reporter in EC-109 cells co-transfected with pmirGLO-MALAT1-wt and miR-200a were significantly down-regulated. While co-transfected pmirGLO-MALAT1-mut with miR-200a mimics had no effect on the luciferase reporter activities of MALAT1.@*Conclusion@#LncRNA MALAT1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate the expressions of ZEB1 and ZEB2 by sponging miR-200a and promotes invasion and migration of esophageal cancer cells through inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate risk factors for surgical site infection(SSI) in patients with thoracolumbar fracture,and provide basis for making prevention and control measures.Methods Patients with thoracolumbar fractures operation in the department of spinal surgery of a hospital between January 2010 and March 2015 were monitored through information monitoring system,on-site visit,and telephone follow-up,incidence of SSI was investigated,risk factors were performed univariate analysis.Results A total of 326 patients undergoing thoracolumbar fracture operation were monitored,15(4.60％) had SSI.SSI were high in patients≥60 years old,underwent operation at nonlaminar air flow operation room,didn't receive antimicrobial prophylaxis 30 minutes prior to operation,preoperative hospital stay ＞3 days,operation duration ＞3 hours,as well as with diabetes mellitus and chronic respiratory disease (all P＜ 0.01).Conclusion Risk factors for SSI in patients undergoing thoracolumbar fractures operation were patients with older age,receive operation at non-laminar air flow operation room,didn't receive antimicrobial prophylaxis,long length of preoperative hospital stay and operation duration,as well as combined with diabetes mellitus and chronic respiratory disease,preventive measures should be taken to reduce the incidence of infection.
