RESUMEN
Objective To discuss the effect of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway regulated by microRNA-155(miRNA-155)targeted protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 21(PTPN21)on the proliferation,migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells.Methods Lentivirus transfection was used to silence the expression of miRNA-155 in human Huh7 HCC cells,and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the silencing effect of miR-155.After obtaining stable cell lines,the cell lines were randomly divided into Blank group(normal Huh7 cells),shNC group(Huh7 cells+empty miR-155 vector),sh-miR-155(Huh7 cells+miR-155 silencing),sh-miR-155+Recilisib group(Huh7 cells+miR-155 silencing+PI3K-AKT agonist),shNC+Recilisib group(Huh7 cells+empty miR-155 vector+PI3K-AKT agonist).Dual luciferase assay was used to determine whether PTPN21 was the downstream of miR-155.The cell proliferation ability of cells in each group was detected by MTT assay.The apoptosis level of each group was tested by flow cytometry.The invasion and migration ability of cells was assessed by Transwell assay.Western blot analysis was used to observe the differences in protein expression of PTPN21,PI3K,P-PI3K,AKT,P-AKT,and apoptosis-related proteins including BAX,BCL-2 and caspase-3 in all groups.Results The expression level of miR-155 in sh-miR-155 group was lower than that in Blank group and shNC group(P<0.000 1),and the difference in miR-155 expression level between Blank group and shNC group was not statistically significant(P>0.05).MTT results showed that A values of Huh7 cells at 2,3,4 and 5 day in sh-miR-155 group were lower than those in Blank group and shNC group(P<0.000 1),while these differences between Blank group and shNC group were not statistically significant(P>0.05).In sh-miR-155 group the A values at 2,3,4 and 5 day were lower than those in sh-miR-155+Recilisib group and shNC+Recilisib group(P=0.0052 and P<0.0001,respectively),while the A values at 2,3,4 and 5 day in sh-miR-155+Recilisib were lower than those in shNC+Recilisib group(P<0.000 1).There was no significant differences in cell migration and number of invasion cells between the Blank group and shNC group(P>0.05).After activation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,the migration and invasion capacity of HCC cells in the shNC+Recilisib group were significantly enhanced when compared with the Blank group(P<0.000 1).In contrast,the number of migrated and invaded Huh7 cells after miR-155 silencing was significantly lower than that in the Blank group and shNC group(P<0.000 1)and this phenomenon became reversed by PI3K agonist.Compared with the sh-miR-155 group,in the sh-miR-155+Recilisib group the migration and invasion ability of HCC cells was enhanced(P=0.000 2).Lentiviral transfection of Huh7 human HCC cells to silence miR-155 and downregulate miR-155 inhibiting PTPN21 regulation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,thus inhibiting the invasion,migration and proliferation ability of HCC cells and promoting the apoptosis of HCC cells.Conclusion miR-155 inhibits the migration,invasion and proliferation of HCC cells through targeting PTPN21 regulation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.The miR-155 may be a potential therapeutic target for HCC in the future.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:44-51)
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To study the correlation of splicing mutations at the 5' end of the DMD gene with their phenotypes.@*METHODS@#DMD gene mutations were analyzed using Multiplex Ligation Probe Amplification (MLPA) and Sanger sequencing. Co-segregation analysis was performed for the pedigrees of the probands. Influence of mutations on protein function was predicted by bioinformatic analysis.@*RESULTS@#Three novel splicing mutations were identified in three patients with different phenotypes. Patient 1 carried a c.31+3insT mutation and presented primarily with dilated cardiomyopathy (XLDC). There was no clinical signs of skeletal myopathy. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that the mutation may inactivate the splicing donor of intron 1 and lead to premature termination of protein translation. Patient 2 carried a c.264_264+4delTGTAA mutation, which led to loss of splicing donor site for intron 4, and manifested Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). The mutation was predicted to result in skipping of exon 4. The defective protein may still retain most of its function. Patient 3 had Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and carried a c.832-3C>T mutation which was predicted to decrease the activity of splicing acceptor of intron 8, resulting in usage of alternative acceptor site or retain of intron 8. All related transcripts may cause premature termination of protein translation and complete loss of protein function. The three mutations were all inherited from the mothers of the patients.@*CONCLUSION@#Three novel splicing mutations were discovered at the 5' end of DMD gene in three patients with different disease phenotypes. Our study may facilitate understanding of the influence of splicing mutations at the 5' end of the DMD gene on dystrophin function and the correlation between genotypes and phenotypes.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors on thrombin time (TT) assay to ensure the accuracy of the detection results.Methods Totally 3 out-and in-patients from January to July 2015 with normal results of prothrombin time (PT),activated partial clotting enzyme live time (APTT) and fibrinogen (FIB) were selected,whose detection results were not satisfactory.The specimen underwent re-centrifugation,and then Beckman ACL TOP700 automatic coagulation analyzer was used to detect four coagulation indexes.The detection results were compared with those before re-centrifugation,and the differences between the results were analyzed statically.Results The values of PT,APTT and FIB of the three patients before and after re-centrifugation were (10.8,11.5,9.7 s),(29.5,32.7,25.2 s),(2.49,3.12,2.85 g/L) and (10.9,11.3,10.0 s),(30.4,31.5,25.9 s),(2.31,3.28,2.67 g/L) respectively,and the differences between the results were not significant (with t ranging from 0.627 to 1.719 and P>0.05).The values of TT of the three patients before and after re-centrifugation were (66.51,127.3,89.62 s) and (12.2,15.7,13.8 s) respectively,and there were obvious differences between the values (with t ranging from 51.743 to 79.167 and P<0.001).Conclusion Insufficient centrifugation has high influences on the detection result of TT except other coagulation indexes,and re-centrifugation is necessary for the accuracy of TT value to eliminate misdiagnosis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of ephedrine combined with various doses of naloxone on neural plasticity in rats after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury to explore the possibility of synergistic effect about ephedrine combined with naloxone, promoting the optimum ratio of neural remodeling and its molecular mechanism.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>A total of 192 healthy adult Sprague-Dawley rats, 220-250 g, were used to establish models of left middle cerebral artery occlusion using the suture occlusion method. Were randomly divided into 8 groups: the rats were intraperitoneally injected with 1.5 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) ephedrine (ephedrine group), with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) naloxone (low, moderate and high doses of naloxone groups) , with 1.5 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) ephedrine + 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) naloxone (ephedrine + low, moderate and high doses of naloxone groups), and with 0.5 mL saline (model group), respectively. At 1-4 weeks following cerebral ischemia, sensorimotor integration in rats was assessed using the beam walking test, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression was detected in the hippocampal CA3 area using immunohistochemistry 1-4 weeks after surgery, immunofluorescence method of detecting ischemic hemisphere hippocampal expression, The number of nerve cells apoptosis was detected using TUNEL assay.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>BWT, BDNF, TUNEL assay results showed three doses of naloxone group had no significant effect, the effects increased together with the quantitative ephedrine, and had the amount-effect relationship, in which ephedrine + high dose of naloxone group the recovery of movement was fastest, BDNF expression in the best and ischemic apoptosis in the hippocampus at least, ischemic injury to the minimum, speed up the process of neural remodeling.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The ephedrine and ephedrine + naloxone groups were accelerated motor function recovery rate in rat after cerebral ischemia, and the promotion of neural remodeling is closely related to the expression of BDNF, inhibit apoptosis in ischemic area, and with the increase of naloxone amount of additives, its role more clearly, the mechanism may be related to the dose of naloxone can significantly inhibit the ischemic area of apoptosis in early cerebral ischemia, so had the positive synergy effect with ephedrine to speed up the formation of neural remodeling.</p>
