RESUMO

The aim of this study is to explore the mechanism by which ARHGAP4 regulates the proliferation and growth of colon cancer cells, and it relates to the metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Various techniques including western blot, CCK8, qRT-PCR, RNA seq assay, plate cloning, subcutaneous tumorigenesis assays, and bioinformatics tools were employed to identify genes that were upregulated or downregulated upon ARHGAP4 knockdown and their involvement in tumor cell proliferation and growth. The expression of ARHGAP4 in T and M stages of CRC uses immunohistochemistry. The expression levels of ARHGAP4 were found to be high in SW620, SW480, and HCT116 cell lines, while they were being low in HT29, LoVo, and NCM460 cell lines. Depletion of ARHGAP4 resulted in inhibited proliferation and growth in SW620 cells and inhibited subcutaneous tumorigenesis in nude mice, whereas overexpression of ARHGAP4 promoted proliferation and growth in HT29 cells and promoted subcutaneous tumorigenesis in nude mice. A total of 318 upregulated genes and 637 downregulated genes were identified in SW620 cells upon ARHGAP4 knockdown. The downregulated genes were primarily associated with cell cycle pathways, while the upregulated genes were enriched in differentiation-related pathways. Notable upregulated genes involved in cell differentiation included KRT10, KRT13, KRT16, IVL, and CD24, while significant downregulation was observed in genes related to the cell cycle such as CCNA2, CDKN2C, CDKN3, CENPA, and CENPF. ARHGAP4 expression is markedly elevated in the M1 stage of CRC compared to the M0 stage, suggesting ARHGAP4 linked to the metastatic in CRC. ARHGAP4 regulates the proliferation and growth of colon cancer cells by up- and downregulated cell cycle and differentiation-related molecules, which may be related to the metastasis of CRC.

RESUMO

This study aimed to analyze the differences in colorectal cancer (CRC) survival between urban and rural areas over the past 20 years, as well as investigate potential prognostic factors for CRC survival in both populations. Using registry data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) from 2000 to 2019, 463,827 CRC cases were identified, with 85.8% in urban and 14.2% in rural areas. The mortality of CRC surpassed its survival rate by the sixth year after diagnosis in urban areas and the fifth year in rural areas. Furthermore, the 5-year overall survival (OS) of CRC increased by 2.9-4.3 percentage points in urban and 0.6-1.5 percentage points in rural areas over the past two decades. Multivariable Cox regression models identified independent prognostic factors for OS and disease-specific survival (DSS) of CRC in urban and rural areas, including age over 40, Black ethnicity, and tumor size greater than 5 cm. In addition, household income below $75,000 was found to be an independent prognostic factor for OS and DSS of CRC in urban areas, while income below $55,000 was a significant factor for rural areas. In conclusion, this study found a notable difference in CRC survival between rural and urban areas. Independent prognostic factors shared among both rural and urban areas include age, tumor size, and race, while household income seem to be area-specific predictive variables. Collaboration between healthcare providers, patients, and communities to improve awareness and early detection of CRC may help to further advance survival rates.

RESUMO

Duodenitis refers to inflammation that occurs in the duodenum. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a known risk factor for duodenitis. This paper attempted to analyze the correlation between Hp virulence genotypes and the initiation and development of duodenal bulbar inflammation (DBI) to lay the foundation for the management of duodenitis induced by Hp infection. Total RNA was extracted from duodenal samples of 156 Hp-positive patients [70 with DBI and 86 with duodenal bulbar ulcer (DBU)] and 80 Hp-free DBI patients, followed by RT-qPCR detection of COX-2 mRNA expression and the presence of virulence factors. The cagA positive (62.2%), vacAs1 (21.79%), vacAm2 (23.72%), vacAs1m2 (19.87%) and iceA1 (55.80%) genotypes were dominant in 156 Hp-positive samples. Statistical difference was observed in vacAs and vacA mixtures between DBI and DBU patients. Gastric metaplasia had an association with vacA allelotypes, and its occurrence had strong correlations with vacAs1 and vacAs1m2 genotypes. The vacAs1 and vacAs1m2 genotypes were correlated with gastric metaplasia occurrence (all p<0.05). There were significant correlations between vacAs and vacA mixtures with cagA genotypes, and between iceA genotypes with vacA mixtures (all p<0.05). COX-2 was strongly expressed in Hp-infected duodenal mucosa and showed correlations with vacA genotype. COX-2 was differentially expressed in vacAs1- and vacAs2-positive patients. COX-2 was more highly upregulated in vacAs1m1- and vacAs1m2-positive patients than vacAs2m2-positive patients. Overall, Hp virulence genotype vacA was correlated with DBI and DBU initiation and development.

RESUMO

Background: This study aims to analyze the correlation between ARHGAP4 in the expression and clinical characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC), and the influence of ARHGAP4 expression on the prognosis of CRC, and to evaluate whether ARHGAP4 is a potential prognostic oncotarget for CRC. Methods: ARHGAP4 was identified using the Gene Expression Omnibus database through weighted gene coexpression network analysis. Using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis to perform and analyze the expression and prognosis of ARHGAP4 in CRC. The expression of AGRGAP4 and immune cells was analyzed by the Tumor IMmune Estimation Resource online database. Finally, immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression difference and prognosis of ARHGAP4 in CRC and adjacent normal tissues, as well as the relationship between AGRGAP4 expression and clinical features of CRC. Results: We identified ARHGAP4 that is related to the recurrence of CRC from GSE97781 data. ARHGAP4 has not been reported in CRC. The high expression of ARHGAP4 in select colon adenocarcinoma indicates a poor prognosis by database analysis. In our clinical data results, ARHGAP4 is highly expressed in CRC and lowly expressed in normal tissues adjacent to cancer. Compared with the low-expression group, the high-expression group has a significantly poorer prognosis. In colon cancer, the B-cell, macrophage, neutrophil, and dendritic-cell levels are downregulated after ARHGAP4 gene knockout; the levels of CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, neutrophils, and dendritic cells are upregulated after the amplification of the ARHGAP4 gene. In addition, ARHGAP4 expression is related to N,M staging and clinical staging. Conclusion: ARHGAP4 is highly expressed in CRC, and the high expression of ARHGAP4 has a poor prognosis. The expression of ARHGAP4 in CRC is related to the immune cells such as B cells, CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. ARHGAP4 is correlated with N,M staging and clinical staging in CRC. ARHGAP4 may be a potential biomarker for the prognosis of CRC.

RESUMO

GNAO1, the alpha O1 subunit of G protein, was reported to be significantly downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as being implicated in a variety of intracellular biological events; findings suggest that it may act as a tumor suppressor. Our goal was to further explore the expression of GNAO1 in HCC patients and its potential clinical significance. Oncomine and Kaplan-Meier plotter databases were used to assess the mRNA expression of GNAO1 in HCC tissues and patient survival time. Subsequently, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to measure GNAO1 protein level in tissue from 79 cases of HCC and paired adjacent tissues. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox regression model, and prognostic nomogram were used to evaluate the prognostic role of GNAO1 in HCC. Results demonstrated that mRNA and protein expressions of GNAO1 were both lower in HCC tissues than in adjacent tissues (all p < 0.01). HCC patients with high expression of GNAO1 had better relapse-free survival (RFS) than those with low GNAO1 expression (all p < 0.05). A high expression of GNAO1, meanwhile, functioned as a good predictor of late relapse for HCC (p < 0.05). The nomogram consisting of GNAO1 expression and the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) model presented good ability in predicting the 3-year relapse for HCC (C-index = 0.614). In conclusion, GNAO1 was a reliable biomarker of relapse prediction for HCC.
