ABSTRACT

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies and most of the patients diagnosed with advanced CRC have unsatisfactory treatment effect and poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of CCNI2 on the development of CRC. In this sutdy, immunohistochemical staining was used to detect CCNI2 expression levels in clinical samples, meanwhile, the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted. Celigo cell counting assay was used for screening shCCNI2s. QPCR and WB were performed to verify knockdown efficiency of CCNI2. Cell proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and mechanism investigation of CCNI2 knockdown were investigated by MTT assay, colony formation assay, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and human apoptosis antibody array, respectively. Otherwise, the mouse model of CCNI2 knockdown was also constructed. The results of immunohistochemical staining and qPCR indicated that CCNI2 had a high expression level in the CRC tissues and cell lines. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis manifested that the high expression of CCNI2 suggested poor prognosis. The expression of CCNI2 was significantly reduced by CCNI2-siRNAs, and the downregulated expression level of CCNI2 inhibited CRC cell proliferation and colony formation, arrested cell cycle in G2 phase, as well as promoted cell apoptosis. The various indexes of solid tumor in mice models indicated that CCNI2 knockdown could suppress the growth of CRC tumor. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the above results, CCNI2 was contributed to the progression of CRC and could serve as a prognostic marker for CRC.

ABSTRACT

Herein, novel bifunctional smart films containing poly(styrene-butyl acrylate-ionic liquids) (P(S-BA-ILs)) and TiO2 were first prepared by a simple cast method and then used to demonstrate a superior bifunction of adsorption/desorption for dyes due to the property of reversible wettability switching and photodegradation under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation due to the addition of TiO2. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of P(S-BA-ILs) latex was characterized using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The surface properties of films (P(S-BA-ILs)-TiO2) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total (internal) reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The results showed that the films displayed reversible wettability switching of hydrophobicity (124.5 ±â€¯2°)/hydrophilicity (10.5 ±â€¯2°) and hydrophobicity (35.1 ±â€¯2°)/hydrophilicity (93.1 ±â€¯2°) triggered by pH and temperature, respectively. Additionally, the films exhibited large adsorption capacities for pollutants at different pH: brilliant red (BR) (6.6 mg cm-3) at pH 1, methylene blue (MB) (12.4 mg cm-3) and phenol (1.1 g cm-3) at pH 11, and metal ions As, Mo and Sb (1.11, 1.57, and 1.25 mg cm-3) at pH 1, as well as superior reusability and excellent in situ photodegradation performance. The convenient preparation of the smart films as well as the good bifunction of adsorption and photodegradation for dyes predicts potential for application to curb water pollution.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To detect the existence of isolated cancer cells in the mesentery of colorectum (named as Metastasis V), and investigate its clinical significance in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. METHODS: Sixty-three CRC patients who received radical excision between January 2012 and September 2015 were included. All the patients underwent laparoscopy-assisted radical colorectomy or proctectomy [with complete mesocolic excision (CME) or total mesorectal excision (TME)] with R0 dissections at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The location and size of the primary lesions were recorded immediately after the tumor was removed, with the surrounding mesenterium completely separated along the intestinal wall. Each dissected mesentery sample was analyzed for hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry using cytokeratin 19 antibody. Image Pro Plus Software 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, CA, United States) was used to semi-quantitatively measure the concentration of the cytokeratin 19 immunohistochemistry. The correlation between metastasis found in mesentery and clinicopathological characteristics was examined. The prognosis of patients was also evaluated by preoperative serum CEA level. RESULTS: Metastasis V was detected in 14 of 63 (22.2%) CRC patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted radical colorectomy or proctectomy (with CME or TME) with R0 dissection in our hospital between January 2012 and September 2015. There was no significant difference in age, gender, tumor size, and tumor location in patients with Metastasis V (P > 0.05). Metastasis V was more likely to occur in poorly differentiated tumor (5/11; 45.5%) than moderately (8/46; 17.4%) and well- differentiated one (1/6; 16.7%). The Metastasis V in N2 stage (9/14; 64.3%) was more frequent that in the N0 stage (3/35; 8.6%) or N1 stages (2/14; 14.3%). In addition, Metastasis V was positively related to the tumor invasive depth (T1:0/1, 0%; T2:1/12, 8.3%; T3:7/39, 17.9%; T4:6/11, 54.5%). Furthermore, preoperative serum CEA level in Metastasis V-positive patients was significantly higher than in Metastasis V-negative patients (4.27 ng/mL vs 3.00 ng/mL). CONCLUSION: Metastasis V might be associated with a poor prognosis of CRC patients.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To enhance the level and prolong the duration of gene expression for gene-engineered rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using non-viral vector. METHODS: A novel transfection system based on reverse transfection method and three-dimensional (3D) scaffold was developed. The reverse gene transfection system was evaluated for transfection efficiency compared to conventional methods. Collagen sponge and polyethylene terephthalate non-woven fabric were introduced as scaffolds to perform 3D culture with reverse transfection. pDNA coding TGFß-1 was delivered to MSCs to assess its ability in inducing chondrogenesis with the 3D non-viral reverse transfection system. RESULTS: The reverse transfection method induced higher transgene levels than the conventional transfection in the presence of serum. The electric charge of the anionic gelatin plays an important role in this system by affecting the release pattern of the gene complexes and through the adsorption of serum protein to the substrate. During a long-time in vitro culture, MSCs cultured on 3D scaffolds exhibited a higher transgene expression level and more sustained transgene expression than those cultured and transfected on the two-dimensional substrate. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of reverse transfection system with 3D cell culture scaffold benefits the cell proliferation and long-time gene transfection of MSCs.
