Construction of a Prognostic Model of Multiple Myeloma Based on Metabolism-Related Genes / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To screen the prognostic biomarkers of metabolic genes in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), and construct a prognostic model of metabolic genes.@*METHODS@#The histological database related to MM patients was searched. Data from MM patients and healthy controls with complete clinical information were selected for analysis.The second generation sequencing data and clinical information of bone marrow tissue of MM patients and healthy controls were collected from human protein atlas (HPA) and multiple myeloma research foundation (MMRF) databases. The gene set of metabolism-related pathways was extracted from Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) by Perl language. The biomarkers related to MM metabolism were screened by difference analysis, univariate Cox risk regression analysis and LASSO regression analysis, and the risk prognostic model and Nomogram were constructed. Risk curve and survival curve were used to verify the grouping effect of the model. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to study the difference of biological pathway enrichment between high risk group and low risk group. Multivariate Cox risk regression analysis was used to verify the independent prognostic ability of risk score.@*RESULTS@#A total of 8 mRNAs which were significantly related to the survival and prognosis of MM patients were obtained (P<0.01). As molecular markers, MM patients could be divided into high-risk group and low-risk group. Survival curve and risk curve showed that the overall survival time of patients in the low-risk group was significantly better than that in the high risk group (P<0.001). GSEA results showed that signal pathways related to basic metabolism, cell differentiation and cell cycle were significantly enriched in the high-risk group, while ribosome and N polysaccharide biosynthesis signaling pathway were more enriched in the low-risk group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk score composed of the eight metabolism-related genes could be used as an independent risk factor for the prognosis of MM patients, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that the molecular signatures of metabolism-related genes had the best predictive effect.@*CONCLUSION@#Metabolism-related pathways play an important role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of patients with MM. The clinical significance of the risk assessment model for patients with MM constructed based on eight metabolism-related core genes needs to be confirmed by further clinical studies.

Objective:To investigate the transcriptomic mechanisms and clinical efficacy of D-CAG regimen for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after failure to initial induction of remission.Methods:The transcriptome data of AML cells before and after the use of dexitabine before August 28, 2021 was searched in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database with "decitabine" as the search term. The R language package was used for differential expression analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the data. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis was conducted on the STRING online analysis website. The accurate treatment prediction platform designed based on logistic omics theory (EpiMed) was used to make drug-disease-target correlation analysis. The clinical data of 18 AML patients treated with D-CAG regimen after failure to induction of remission with standard anthracycline and cytarabine regimen ("3+7" regimen) in the 305th Hospital of Chinese PLA from October 8, 2015 to July 9, 2018 were searched and analyzed, and the curative effect was evaluated. The effects of the dose and duration of each drug on the efficacy were analyzed.Results:The transcriptome data of AML cells before and after the use of decitabine in GSE40442 dataset of the GPL5188 platform were finally selected, updated on July 10, 2014. A total of 366 differentially expressed genes were screened, including 201 up-regulated genes and 165 down-regulated genes. The differential genes were mainly related to cell cycle regulation, bone marrow leukocyte migration and differentiation, transcriptional regulation, bone marrow hematopoiesis and other signaling pathways. Ten core genes such as ANXA5, IL-10, THBS1, TLR4, JUN and CXCL12 were screened by PPI analysis. Drug-disease-target analysis showed that dexitabine had a potential therapeutic effect on various blood diseases such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, thrombocytopenia, T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, aplastic anemia, and AML. Of the 18 patients, after initial induction of remission, 7 (38.8%) patients achieved partial remission (PR), and 11 (61.2%) patients had no response (NR); after one cycle of re-induction remission therapy, 9 patients had complete remission (CR), 5 patients had PR, 4 patients had NR, and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.8% (14/18). Compared with patients with NR, the CR rate was higher in patients with PR after initial induction therapy, which were 85.7% (6/7) and 27.3% (3/11), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.84, P = 0.025). The median duration of cytarabine in CR patients was longer than that in NR patients [10 d (7-14 d) vs. 5 d (2-8 d), Z = 3.89, P = 0.002] and the median ratio of the number of bone marrow blast cells to the duration cytarabine was lower in CR patients than that in NR patients [2.29 (0.89-9.10) vs. 8.10 (3.00-38.50), Z = -2.19, P = 0.006]; the median dose of cytarabine in CR patients was lower than NR patients, which were 50 mg·m -2·d -1 (30-150 mg·m -2·d -1) and 100 mg·m -2·d -1 (50-500 mg·m -2·d -1), and the difference was not statistically significant ( Z = -1.80, P = 0.074). Conclusions:AML patients with PR after initial induction and failure to initial induction of remission may be more likely to achieve CR after the treatment of D-CAG regimen, and this change may be related to the epigenetic regulation of decitabine.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are a rare type of soft-tissue tumor. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are characterized by rearrangements involving the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene locus on 2p23. Case Report: We report the case of a 67-year-old Chinese male who presented with dysuria and fever. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an irregular prostatic mass with an isointense signal and obscure boundary. Histopathological evaluation showed that the mass consisted mainly of spindle-shaped cells. Immunohistochemical evaluation showed that the tumor cells were negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase. CONCLUSIONS: Inflammatory myofibroblastic prostate tumors are rare lesions with unclear etiology. The pathological diagnosis is very important.

Role of Family with Sequence Similarity 3A in High Glucose-induced Oxidative Damage of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells / 中国医学科学院学报

Objective To investigate the role of family with sequence similarity 3A(Fam3A) in high glucose-induced damage of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods HUVECs were divided into control group and high glucose group, which were cultured in endothelial cell medium (ECM) containing 5.5 mmol/L of glucose and ECM containing 33.3 mmol/L of glucose, respectively. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of Fam3A, whereas the protein expression of Fam3A was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. HUVECs in control group and high glucose group were transfected with siNT and siFam3A, respectively, and the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS), ATP, mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate(OCR), and P-p38 protein were detected.Results After HUVECs had been cultured for 24h, the relative mRNA expression of Fam3A between high glucose group and control group was 2.52±0.19 (t=13.296,P=0.000). The Fam3A protein level was (173.82±33.28)pg/ml in the high glucose group, which was significantly higher than that [(39.45±33.78)pg/ml] in the control group (t=4.907,P=0.006). The intracellular ROS content in siNT-high glucose group was (8217±794)RFU, which was significantly higher than that [(3982±398)RFU] in siNT control group (t=15.109,P=0.002). The intracellular ROS content of siFam3A high glucose group was (11 910±1 001)RFU, significantly higher than that [(4171±402)RFU] of siFam3A control group (t=9.705,P=0.010) and than that of siNT high glucose group (t=4.026,P=0.048). The relative amounts of ATP synthesis in siNT high glucose group, siFam3A control group and siFam3A high glucose group were (61.2±5.6)%, (94.6±8.4)%, and (29.7±2.7)% of the siNT control group respectively; thus, it was significantly lower in siNT high glucose group than in siNT control group (t=12.001,P=0.007) and was also significantly lower in siFam3A high glucose group than in siFam3A control group (t=20.742,P=0.002) and in siNT high glucose group(t=18.814,P=0.003). The mitochondrial OCR was (0.57±0.05)pMO/(μg protein·min) in siNT high glucose group, significantly lower than that [(1.12±0.09)pMO/(μg protein·min)] of siNT control group (t=6.804,P=0.021). The mitochondrial OCR of siFam3A high glucose group was (0.31±0.03)pMO/(μg protein·min), significantly lower than that [(1.01±0.09)pMO/(μg protein·min)] of siFam3A control group (t=19.876,P=0.003), which was significantly lower than that of siNT high glucose group (t=21.444,P=0.002). The relative expression of P-p38 in siNT high glucose group, siFam3A control group, and siFam3A high glucose group was 2.239±0.353, 0.816±0.120, and 1.160±0.185, respectively; thus, it was significantly higher in the siNT high glucose group than in siNT control group (t=6.075,P=0.026); in addition, it was significantly higher in the siFam3A high glucose group than in siFam3A control group (t=6.242,P=0.024) and significantly lower than in siNT high glucose group (t=9.686,P=0.010). Conclusions High glucose can induce high expression of Fam3A in HUVECs. Knockdown of Fam3A gene expression can exacerbate the decrease of ATP synthesis and mitochondrial OCR caused by high glucose and promote the generation of ROS in high glucose. Fam3A may regulate high glucose-induced ROS production in HUVECs via the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.
