ABSTRACT

Long noncoding RNA DNAJC3-AS1 (lncRNA DNAJC3-AS1) has been probed in many studies, while the regulatory mechanism of DNAJC3-AS1 on papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) via regulating microRNA (miR)-27a-3p remains inadequate. This research aims to depict the role of DNAJC3-AS1, miR-27a-3p, collagen, and calcium-binding EGF domain-containing protein 1 (CCBE1) on PTC development. DNAJC3-AS1, miR-27a-3p, and CCBE1 expression levels in PTC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were tested. The relation of DNAJC3-AS1, miR-27a-3p, and CCBE1 was analyzed. DNAJC3-AS1 and miR-27a-3p and CCBE1-related oligonucleotides were transfected into IHH-4 cells to investigate their role in PTC development. Cell tumorigenicity was detected by in vivo assay. DNAJC3-AS1 and CCBE1 expressed highly and miR-27a-3p expressed lowly in PTC. Downregulation of DNAJC3-AS1, upregulating miR-27a-3p or downregulating CCBE1 impaired the malignant behaviors of IHH-4 cells. Depletion of miR-27a-3p reversed the DNAJC3-AS1 suppression-induced phenotypic inhibition of IHH-4 cells. DNAJC3-AS1 bound to miR-27a-3p and CCBE1 as a target of miR-27a-3p. Our study highlights that DNAJC3-AS1 inhibits miR-27a-3p to promote CCBE1 expression, thereby facilitating PTC development. This study affords distinguished therapeutic strategies and novel research directions for PTC treatment.

ABSTRACT

Thyroid cancer (TC) is a prevailing malignant disease in endocrine system. Recent reports have demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial participators in TC progression. In our study, we majorly investigated the molecular mechanism of neuropeptide S receptor 1 antisense RNA 1 (NPSR1-AS1) in TC. Western blot and qPCR analyses were applied for the measurement of protein and RNA expressions in TC cells. Colony formation, EdU, and transwell assays, supported by western blot analyses, were implemented for probing NPSR1-AS1 impacts on TC cell malignant phenotype. Moreover, bioinformatics prediction, RIP and Actinomycin D assays detected the downstream mechanism of NPSR1-AS1 in TC cells. In short, NPSR1-AS1 displayed high expression TC cells, and NPSR1-AS1 silence inhibited TC cell malignant behaviors. Additionally, NPSR1-AS1 positively regulated its nearby gene neuropeptide S receptor 1 (NPSR1). ELAV like RNA binding protein 1 (ELAVL1) served as the RNA-binding protein (RBP) to combine with NPSR1-AS1 and NPSR1. Silencing of ELAVL1 reduced the stability of NPSR1 mRNA. Moreover, NPSR1 could activate the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway in TC cells. Collectively, our study elucidated the aspect of lncRNA-RBP-mRNA interaction which might be a novel sight for TC treatment.[Figure: see text].

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To investigate whether a combination of radiomics and automatic machine learning applied to dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) of primary breast cancer can non-invasively predict axillary sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis. Methods: 62 patients who received a DCE-MRI breast scan were enrolled. Tumor resection and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy were performed within 1 week after the DCE-MRI examination. According to the time signal intensity curve, the volumes of interest (VOIs) were delineated on the whole tumor in the images with the strongest enhanced phase. Datasets were randomly divided into two sets including a training set (~80%) and a validation set (~20%). A total of 1,409 quantitative imaging features were extracted from each VOI. The select K best and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) were used to obtain the optimal features. Three classification models based on the logistic regression (LR), XGboost, and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers were constructed. Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) analysis was used to analyze the prediction performance of the models. Both feature selection and models construction were firstly performed in the training set, then were further tested in the validation set by the same thresholds. Results: There is no significant difference between all clinical and pathological variables in breast cancer patients with and without SLN metastasis (P > 0.05), except histological grade (P = 0.03). Six features were obtained as optimal features for models construction. In the validation set, with respect to the accuracy and MSE, the SVM demonstrated the highest performance, with an accuracy, AUC, sensitivity (for positive SLN), specificity (for positive SLN) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.85, 0.83, 0.71, 1, 0.26, respectively. Conclusions: We demonstrated the feasibility of combining artificial intelligence and radiomics from DCE-MRI of primary tumors to predict axillary SLN metastasis in breast cancer. This non-invasive approach could be very promising in application.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To evaluate the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs in comparison with traditional care on liver surgery outcomes. METHODS: The PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the ERAS program with traditional care in patients undergoing liver surgery. Studies selected for the meta-analysis met all of the following inclusion criteria: (1) evaluation of ERAS in comparison to traditional care in adult patients undergoing elective open or laparoscopic liver surgery; (2) outcome measures including complications, recovery of bowel function, and hospital length of stay; and (3) RCTs. The following exclusion criteria were applied: (1) the study was not an RCT; (2) the study did not compare ERAS with traditional care; (3) the study reported on emergency, non-elective or transplantation surgery; and (4) the study consisted of unpublished studies with only the abstract presented at a national or international meeting. The primary outcomes were complications. Secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay and time to first flatus. RESULTS: Five RCTs containing 723 patients were included in the meta-analysis. In 10/723 cases, patients presented with benign diseases, while the remaining 713 cases had liver cancer. Of the five studies, three were published in English and two were published in Chinese. Three hundred and fifty-four patients were in the ERAS group, while 369 patients were in the traditional care group. Compared with traditional care, ERAS programs were associated with significantly decreased overall complications (RR = 0.66; 95%CI: 0.49-0.88; P = 0.005), grade I complications (RR = 0.51; 95%CI: 0.33-0.79; P = 0.003), and hospital length of stay [WMD = -2.77 d, 95%CI: -3.87-(-1.66); P < 0.00001]. Similarly, ERAS programs were associated with decreased time to first flatus [WMD = -19.69 h, 95%CI: -34.63-(-4.74); P < 0.0001]. There was no statistically significant difference in grade II-V complications between the two groups. CONCLUSION: ERAS is a safe and effective program in liver surgery. Future studies should define the active elements to optimize postoperative outcomes for liver surgery.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this review are to compare the effectiveness and safety of radiochemotherapy (RTCT) with radiotherapy (RT) alone in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). DATA SOURCES: We comprehensively searched the Cochrane library, Medline, EMBASE, Chinese biomedicine literature database, Chinese scientific full-text database and Chinese journal full-text database for relevant articles. The computer search was supplemented with a manual search of reference lists for all available review articles. Also reference lists of the included studies were reviewed. RESULTS: We included 18 randomized trials involving 3,517 patients. Meta-analysis results are as follows: the response rate, 3 and 5-year survival rates were significantly better in patients in the RTCT group than in RT group. As adverse effects, limited evidence suggests that there was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to rectitis, cystitis, nausea and vomiting. But RTCT group has higher incidence rates than RT group in gastrointestinal, myelosuppression and leucopenia. CONCLUSION: The combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy was more effective for LACC than radiotherapy alone. There was no significant difference between the RTCT regimen group and RT regimen group with regard to adverse effects.
