RESUMO

Background: High mortality rates are prevalent among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and effective therapeutic targets are key prognostic factors. Fascin actin-bundling protein 1 (FSCN1) promotes NSCLC; however, its role as an RNA-binding protein in NSCLC remains unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to explore FSCN1 expression and function in A549 cells. Method: We screened for alternative-splicing events and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) after FSCN1 silence via RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). FSCN1 immunoprecipitation followed by RNA-seq were used to identify target genes whose mRNA expression and pre-mRNA alternative-splicing levels might be influenced by FSCN1. Results: Silencing FSCN1 in A549 cells affected malignant phenotypes; it inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion, and promoted apoptosis. RNA-seq analysis revealed 2,851 DEGs and 3,057 alternatively spliced genes. Gene ontology-based functional enrichment analysis showed that downregulated DEGs and alternatively splicing genes were enriched for the cell-cycle. FSCN1 promoted the alternative splicing of cell-cycle-related mRNAs involved in tumorigenesis (i.e., BCCIP, DLGAP5, PRC1, RECQL5, WTAP, and SGO1). Combined analysis of FSCN1 RNA-binding targets and RNA-seq data suggested that FSCN1 might affect ACTG1, KRT7, and PDE3A expression by modulating the pre-mRNA alternative-splicing levels of NME4, NCOR2, and EEF1D, that were bound to long non-coding RNA transcripts (RNASNHG20, NEAT1, NSD2, and FTH1), which were highly abundant. Overall, extensive transcriptome analysis of gene alternative splicing and expression levels was performed in cells transfected with FSCN1 short-interfering RNA. Our data provide global insights into the regulatory mechanisms associated with the roles of FSCN1 and its target genes in lung cancer.

RESUMO

Dysregulated expression of ubiquitin-specific protease 43 (USP43) has been recently discovered in malignancies. This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of USP43 protein in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and to explore its correlation with patients' clinicopathological characteristics as well as clinical outcomes. Expression of USP43 protein was determined by immunohistochemistry staining in a retrospective cohort containing 157 LUSC cases who underwent curative surgery in our hospital. Accordingly, USP43 protein was positively correlated with tumor size, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis. Patients with increased USP43 expression or positive lymph nodes exhibited a poorer overall survival. In addition, cellular assays elucidated that USP43 can promote LUSC growth and invasion. Taken together, our study demonstrated that USP43 may act as a proto-oncogene, which could be a promising biomarker and therapeutic target in the survival prediction and treatment of LUSC.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the efficacy and usefulness of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and autologous blood clot covering without gas tamponade in the treatment of macular holes (MHs). METHODS: All patients with a full-thickness MH with a minimum diameter of <600 µm and a base diameter of <1,200 µm underwent pars plana vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling with autologous blood covering the MH at the end of the surgery. No fluid-air exchange or gas tamponade was performed. Postoperatively, all patients were instructed to adopt supine position overnight and thereafter any comfortable posture. RESULTS: A total of 18 eyes of 18 consecutive patients were included. The mean age of the patients (12 women and 6 men) was 59.06 ± 14.31 years (range, 21-81 years). The MHs composed of 13 idiopathic MHs, 2 MHs with high myopia (axial length > 26.5 mm), 2 traumatic MHs, and 1 MH associated with diabetic macular edema. Among them were five large MHs (minimum diameter > 400 µm). Complete MH closure was achieved in all eyes at the end of the follow-up period (range, 3-14 months). Visual acuity was significantly improved from preoperative 0.89 ± 0.41 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (20/155 Snellen) to 0.42 ± 0.33 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (20/53 Snellen) at the final visit (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The novel surgical protocol using vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and autologous blood clot covering at the end of the MH surgery with limited diameters achieved highly effective closure and visual improvement and eliminated the gas tamponade and thus the associated adverse effects and the need for postoperative face-down positioning.
