RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Accumulating studies have reported inconsistent association between ErbB4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and predisposition to schizophrenia. To better interpret this issue, here we conducted a meta-analysis using published case-control studies. METHODS: We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE (Pubmed), Embase (Ovid), Web of Science (Thomson-Reuters) to identify relevant references. The association between ErbB4 SNPs and schizophrenia was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Between-study heterogeneity was evaluated by I squared (I) statistics and Cochran's Q test. To appraise the stability of results, we employed sensitivity analysis by omitting 1 single study each time. To assess the potential publication bias, we conducted trim and fill analysis. RESULTS: Seven studies published in English comprising 3162 cases and 4264 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analyses showed that rs707284 is statistically significantly associated with schizophrenia susceptibility among Asian and Caucasian populations under the allelic model (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.83-0.99, P = 0.035). Additionally, a marginal association (P < 0.1) was observed between rs707284 and schizophrenia risk among Asian and Caucasian populations under the recessive (OR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.72-1.01, P = 0.065) and homozygous (OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.68-1.03, P = 0.094) models. In the Asian subgroup, rs707284 was also noted to be marginally associated with schizophrenia under the recessive model (OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.70-1.00, P = 0.053). However, no statistically significant association was found between rs839523, rs7598440, rs3748962, and rs2371276 and schizophrenia risk. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggested that rs707284 may be a potential ErbB4 SNP associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia. Nevertheless, due to the limited sample size in this meta-analysis, more large-scale association studies are still needed to confirm the results.

RESUMO

Clopidogrel (CLO) is a clinical antiplatelet agent, about which there are major concerns because its antiplatelet efficiency decreases with insufficient metabolic activation, leading to "clopidogrel resistance." We aimed to determine the antiplatelet effects of W1, a novel molecule composed of 2-O-clopidogrel and aspirin (1:1 ratio), on platelet aggregation ex vivo and thrombus formation in vivo, and its susceptibility to CLO resistance in combination with other therapies in rats. Platelets were prepared, and an arteriovenous shunt thrombosis model was established using Wistar rats to measure platelet aggregation and thrombus formation, respectively. W1 markedly inhibited adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation and thrombus formation dose dependently (0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg). W1 (3 mg/kg) acted rapidly at 0.5 hours and lasted for 72 hours. W1 prolonged bleeding and clotting times in mice, confirming its antithrombotic properties. Compared with CLO 10 mg/kg, the positive control, W1 3 mg/kg exerted equivalent effects on the above specifications. In addition, cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels, measured in rat platelets, increased rapidly after prostaglandin E1 (alprostadil) stimulation of the vehicle control (0.5% methyl cellulose suspension) and W1 (3 mg/kg)-treated groups. ADP (50 µm) reduced the control levels more remarkably than W1 did (P < 0.05 in 3 minutes or P < 0.001 at 5 minutes), suggesting that W1 suppressed ADP-induced cyclic adenosine monophosphate reduction. This was associated with a significant platelet reactivity inhibition measured using the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein assay. CLO or W1 coadministration with or without omeprazole and amlodipine to rats to investigate the pharmacodynamic interactions revealed that W1 exhibited more stable and potent antithrombotic effects than CLO did. In conclusion, both W1 and CLO showed antiplatelet and antithrombotic effects, while the former exhibited less CLO resistance in combination with omeprazole or amlodipine, 2 drugs that inhibit CLO metabolism. Therefore, this study implies that W1 may be a promising oral antiplatelet agent for reducing CLO resistance after percutaneous coronary intervention.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The PDE4B single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be associated with schizophrenia risk. However, current findings are ambiguous or even conflicting. To better facilitate the understanding the genetic role played by PDE4B in susceptibility to schizophrenia, we collected currently available data and conducted this meta-analysis. METHODS: A comprehensive electronic literature searching of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library was performed. The association between PDE4B SNPs and schizophrenia was evaluated by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) under allelic, dominant and recessive genetic models. The random effects model was utilized when high between-study heterogeneity (I2 > 50%) existed, otherwise the fixed effects model was used. RESULTS: Five studies comprising 2376 schizophrenia patients and 3093 controls were finally included for meta-analysis. The rs1040716 was statistically significantly associated with schizophrenia risk in Asian and Caucasian populations under dominant model (OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.76-0.99, P = 0.04). The rs2180335 was significantly related with schizophrenia risk in Asian populations under allelic (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.72-0.93, P = 0.003) and dominant (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.64-0.88, P < 0.001) models. A significant association was also observed between rs4320761 and schizophrenia in Asian populations under allelic model (OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.75-1.00, P = 0.048). In addition, a strong association tendency was found between rs6588190 and schizophrenia in Asian populations under allelic model (OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.76-1.00, P = 0.055). CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that PDE4B SNPs are genetically associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia. However, due to limited sample size, more large-scale, multi-racial association studies are needed to further clarify the genetic association between various PDE4B variants and schizophrenia.

RESUMO

Bone is the third most common site of cancer metastasis. Over 30 to 40% of lung cancers can develop skeletal metastasis and no effective curative therapy exists in clinic cases. Previously we screened the different expression of proteins between SBC-5 cells and SBC-3 cells by proteomic study methods (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS) and found that calcineurin (hereafter referred as Cn) overexpresses in SBC-5 which has special priority in metastasis to bone in a multiple-organ metastasis mice model. However the roles of Cn in osteotropism of SCLC remain to be elucidated. At present study, we decrease CnAα expression in SBC-5 by lentiviral vector-mediated RNAi and found that down regulation of CnAα gene expression can decrease the proliferation and colony formation rate, impede the cell cycle progression, reduce the cell migration and invasion, and inhibit cells adhering to bone matrix, but not change the apoptosis rate of SBC-5 in vitro. In vivo down or up regulation of CnAα gene expression can only decrease or increase the bone metastasis rate, but not affect the metastasis rate to the visceral organs. Our research reveals that CnAα is closely related to the osteotropism metastasis of SCLC and a candidate tumor promotor gene for developing bone metastases.
