RESUMO

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have an extensive role in the progression and chemoresistance of gastric cancer (GC). Deeply study the regulatory role of lncRNAs could provide potential therapeutic targets. The aim of this study is to explore the regulatory role of HOTAIR in the progression and oxaliplatin resistance of GC. The expression of HOTAIR in GC and cell lines were detected by using qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were analysed by CCK-8, EdU incorporation and flow cytometry. Luciferase reporter assay was used to identify the interaction between HOTAIR and ABCG2 (ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily G member 2, ABCG2) via miR-195-5p. The regulatory functions were verified by using molecular biology experiments. HOTAIR was significantly overexpressed in GC and associated with poor prognosis. Knock-down of HOTAIR inhibited the GC cells proliferation and oxaliplatin resistance, while overexpression of HOTAIR showed opposite functions. Further studies found that HOTAIR acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to absorb miR-195-5p and elevated the expression of ABCG2, which leads to resistance of GC cells to oxaliplatin. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that HOTAIR regulates ABCG2 induced resistance of GC to oxaliplatin through miR-195-5p signalling and illustrate the great potential of developing new therapeutic targets for GC patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To identify a novel marker for gastric cancer, we examined the usefulness of phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) as a potential diagnostic marker using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomics and evaluated its clinical significance. METHODS: Proteins from a discovery group of four paired gastric cancer tissues and adjacent gastric tissues were labeled with iTRAQ reagents and then identified and quantified using LC-MS/MS. The expression of PGAM1 was further validated in 139 gastric cancer patients using immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, the correlation of PGAM1 expression with clinical parameters was analyzed. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to identify gene sets that were activated in PGAM1-overexpressing patients with gastric cancer. RESULTS: PGAM1 was significantly overexpressed in most cancers but particularly so in gastric cancer, with a sensitivity of 82.01% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 75.5%-88.5%) and specificity of 79.13% (95% CI: 72.3%-86%). Its expression was significantly associated with histological grade II and III tumors (p = 0.033), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.031), and TNM III-IV staging (p = 0.025). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the detection of PGAM1 overexpression in gastric cancer was 0.718 (p < 0.01). Furthermore, GSEA revealed that several important pathways such as glycolysis pathway and immune pathways were significantly enriched in patients with gastric cancer with PGAM1 overexpression. CONCLUSIONS: This study provided a sensitive method for detecting PGAM1, which may serve as a novel indicator for poor prognosis of gastric cancer, as well as a potent drug target for gastric cancer.

RESUMO

Background: The number of patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDOC) is increasing. However, its clinical treatment remains challenging. To date, no studies have reported the effect of vagus nerve modulation (VNM) using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with pDOC. We aimed to evaluate the effect of vagus nerve magnetic modulation (VNMM) on pDOC patients. Methods: We performed VNMM in 17 pDOC patients. The Revised Coma Recovery Scale (CRS-R), Glasgow scale (GCS), somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were assessed before and after treatment. Results: Both CRS-R and GCS results showed significant improvement in p DOC patients after VNMM treatment. The CRS-R improved from 7.88 ± 2.93 to 11.53 ± 4.94. The GCS score also improved from 7.65 ± 1.9 to 9.18 ± 2.65. The number of BAEP grades I increased from 3 to 5 after treatment. The number of BAEP grades I increased from 3 to 5, grade II increased by 1, and grade III decreased from 4 to 1. Conclusion: This study provides a preliminary indication of the potential of VNMM in the rehabilitation of pDOC patients. It provides the basis for a Phase 2 or Phase 3 study of VNMM in patients with pDOC.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The sensitivity and specificity of current biomarkers for gastric cancer were insufficient. The aim of the present study was to screen novel biomarkers and determine the diagnostic values of ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) and carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) for detecting gastric cancer. METHODS: With stable isotope tags, we labelled an initial discovery group of four paired gastric cancer tissue samples and identified with LC-ESI-MS/MS. A validation group of 159 gastric cancer samples and 30 healthy controls were used to validate the candidate targets. GSEA was used to explore the pathways activated in gastric cancer. RESULTS: Four hundred and thirty one proteins were found differentially expressed in gastric cancer tissues. Of these proteins, OAT and CPS1 were found over-expressed in gastric cancer patients, with sensitivity of 70.4% (95% CI: 63.3%-77.6%) and specificity of 80.5% (95% CI: 74.3%-86.7%) for ornithine aminotransferase, and with sensitivity of 68.6% (95% CI: 61.3%-75.8%) and specificity of 73% (95% CI: 66%-79.9%) for carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1. The co-expression of OAT and CPS1 in gastric cancer tissues has a sensitivity of 81% (95% CI: 73.2%-88.8%) and specificity of 89% (95% CI: 83%-95%). Furthermore, both OAT and CPS1 were overexpressed in patients with local invasion T3 and T4 stages than those in patients with T1 and T2 stages. The co-expression of OAT and CPS1 was strongly correlated with histological grade I 68% (95% CI: 58.7%-77.3%) and TNM stage I/II 52% (95% CI: 42%-62%). The areas under ROC curves were up to 0.758 for the co-expression of OAT and CPS1 in gastric cancer. GSEA results showed that two gene sets and 30 gene sets were activated in OAT high- and CPS1 high-expression patients with gastric cancer, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The present findings indicated a tight correlation between the co-expression of OAT and CPS1 and the histological grade, local invasion, and TNM stages of gastric cancer. Therefore, OAT and CPS1 might be predictors for gastric cancer invasion and potential targets for anticancer drug design for gastric cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the expression and prognostic significance of 6-phosphogluconolactonase (PGLS) in gastric cancer. METHODS: The protein extracted from a panel of four pairs of gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues, labeled with iTRAQ (8-plex) reagents, and followed by LC-ESI-MS/MS. The expressions of proteins were further validated by immunohistochemistry analysis. The expression levels of mRNA were analyzed and validated in the Oncomine database. The correlations of PGLS with prognostic outcomes were evaluated with Kaplan-Meier plotter database. RESULTS: The present study found that PGLS was significantly up-regulated in gastric cancer by using iTRAQ-based proteomics and immunohistochemistry analysis. The sensitivity of PGLS in gastric cancer was 72.9%. The high expression of PGLS was significantly correlated with TNM staging in gastric cancer (p = 0.02). The overexpression of PGLS predicts worse overall survival (OS) and post-progression survival (PPS) for gastric cancer (OS, HR = 1.48, p = 2.1e-05; PPS, HR = 1.35, p = 0.015). Specifically, the high PGLS expression predicts poor OS, PPS in male gastric cancer patients, in patients with lymph node metastasis and in patients with Her-2 (-). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggested that PGLS was aberrantly expressed in gastric cancer and predicts poor overall survival, post-progression survival for gastric cancer patients. The present study collectively supported that PGLS is an important target for early determining and follow-up monitoring for gastric cancer.

RESUMO

Background: Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a complex neurological syndrome that often reduces rehabilitation outcomes, prolongs patients' hospital stays, and decreases their quality of life. However, the current therapies for USN have varying efficacy. We will explore a new treatment option that combines prism adaptation (PA) with eye movement training (EMT) for the treatment of USN after stroke. Methods: We will conduct a single-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of the combined intervention (PA & EMT) on USN in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. The study aims to recruit 88 patients with USN after an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to the following four groups: (1) PA group (n = 22), (2) EMT group (n = 22), (3) PA and EMT group (n = 22), and (4) control group (n = 22). All groups will receive 10 sessions of interventions over 2 weeks, 5 times per week. Blinded assessors will conduct a baseline assessment, a post-intervention assessment, and a follow-up assessment (2 weeks post-intervention). The primary outcome measure will use the Behavioral Inattention Test-Conventional Subset (BIT-C) and Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) to assess the levels of USN. Secondary outcome measures will assess the patient's ability to perform activities of daily living using the Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Patients who completed all treatment and assessment sessions will be included in the final analysis. Discussion: This study will explore the effects of 10 sessions of combined interventions (PA & EMT) on USN and functional capacity. This study has the potential to identify a new, evidence-based treatment option and provide new ideas for the treatment of USN. Ethics and dissemination: The study protocol has been approved by the Nanchong Central Hospital. Written informed consent will be obtained from all the participants. The results of this study will be disseminated to the public through scientific conferences and a peer-reviewed journal. Trial registration: ChiCTR, ChiCTR2100049482. Registered on 2 August 2021, http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=130823.

RESUMO

Although the production of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) has been phased out over the past decade worldwide, they are still potentially hazardous to the environment due to their persistence and toxicity. This study investigated the levels of 55 PBDEs in water and sediments from the Danjiangkou Reservoir, China. The levels of PBDEs were in the range of not detected (ND)-286.67 ng/L in water and ND-236.04 ng/g in sediments. BDE209 was the predominant PBDE congener and constituted 15-50% and 44-68% of the total PBDEs in water and sediments, respectively. Commercial pentaBDE products (70-5DE, DE-71) were the dominant source of tetraBDE, pentaBDE, and hexaBDE, while commercial octaBDE (79-8DE) and decaBDE (102E and 82-0DE) products were the main sources of nonaBDE and decaBDE in water. PBDEs in sediments mainly stemmed from commercial decaBDE products and combustion sources. BDE-209 posed high ecological risks to aquatic organisms and dominated the total ecological risks of PBDEs. No cancer risks and non-cancer risks were observed for PBDEs. A ranking method based on four criteria, i.e., detection frequency, concentration, ecological risk, and health risks, was proposed, and 17 PBDEs were identified as high priority PBDEs for future monitoring and management in the Danjiangkou Reservoir.
