RESUMO

Lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma (LPRM) is a rare subtype of meningioma, the specific pathogenesis of which remains unclear. Herein, we report the case of a 48-year-old Asian man who experienced progressive deafness and limb weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed extramedullary masses diffusely growing, wrapping, and compressing the cervical spinal cord. The dural lesion was partially excised by surgery, and postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of LPRM. Diffuse LPRM is extremely rare, and its treatment is challenging owing to difficulties associated with surgery and the uncertain efficacy of traditional therapies. Therefore, further clinical practice and basic research are needed to improve the prognosis of diffuse LPRM.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Glioma is the most common type of primary brain cancer, and the prognosis of most patients with glioma is poor. Pyroptosis is a newly discovered inflammatory programmed cell death. However, the expression of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) in glioma and its correlation with prognosis are unclear. METHODS: 27 pyroptosis genes differentially expressed between glioma and adjacent normal tissues were identified. All glioma cases could be stratified into 2 subtypes based on these differentially expressed PRGs. The prognostic value of each PRG was evaluated to construct a prognostic model. RESULTS: A novel 16-gene signature was constructed by using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression method. Then, patients with glioma were divided into low- and high-risk groups in the TCGA cohort. The survival rate of patients in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that in the high-risk group (P = .001). Patients with glioma from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohort were stratified into 2 risk groups by using the median risk score. The overall survival (OS) of the low-risk group was longer than that of the high-risk group (P = .001). The risk score was considered an independent prognostic factor of the OS of patients with glioma. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encylopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the differentially expressed PRGs were mainly related to neutrophil activation involved in immune responses, focal adhesion, cell cycle, and p53 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION: PRGs could predict the prognosis of glioma and play significant roles in a tumor immune microenvironment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy resistance is one of the major causes of rectal cancer treatment failure. LncRNA DLGAP1-AS2 participates in the progression of several cancers. We explored the role and potential mechanism of DLGAP1-AS2 in the radioresistance of rectal cancer stem cells. METHODS: HR8348-R cells, radioresistant cells from HR8348 after irradiation, were isolated into CD133 negative (CD133-) and positive (CD133+) cells. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and tumorsphere formation were determined by CCK-8, flow cytometry, wound healing assay and tumorsphere formation assay, respectively. CD133, tumor stem cell drug resistance gene (MDR1 and BCRP1), DNA repair marker (γ-H2AX) and AKT/mTOR/cyclinD1 signaling were measured by Western blot. The relationship between DLGAP1-AS2 and E2F1 was verified using RIP. The interaction between E2F1 and CD151 promoter was confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP. AKT inhibitor API-2 was employed for validating the effect of AKT/mTOR/cyclinD1 signaling in the radioresistance of rectal cancer cells. RESULTS: The DLGAP1-AS2 level was increased in CD133+ cells after irradiation. DLGAP1-AS2 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, migration and tumorsphere formation while stimulating apoptosis in CD133+ cells. DLGAP1-AS2 inhibition downregulated the expression of CD133, MDR1, BCRP1 and γ-H2AX and suppressed AKT/mTOR/cyclinD1 activation. DLGAP1-AS2 upregulated the expression of CD151 by interacting with E2F1. API-2 neutralized the promotive effects of overexpressed CD151 on radioresistance. CONCLUSION: DLGAP1-AS2 accelerates the radioresistance of rectal cancer cells through interactions with E2F1 to upregulate CD151 expression via the activation of the AKT/mTOR/cyclinD1 pathway.

RESUMO

Due to the untargeted release of chemical drugs, the efficacy of chemotherapy is often compromised along with serious side effects on patients. Recently, the development of targeted delivery systems using nanomaterials as carriers has provided more alternatives for chemical drug transportation. In this study, we developed a novel targeted nanocomplex of GOQD-ICG-DOX@RBCM-FA NPs (GID@RF NPs). First, PEG modified graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) were used to co-load the photosensitizer of indocyanine green (ICG) and DOX, to form GOQD-ICG-DOX NPs (GID NPs). Then, the red blood cell membrane (RBCM) was applied for GID NP camouflage to avoid immune clearance. Finally, folic acid was used to endow the targeting ability of GID@RF NPs. MTT assay showed that the survival rate of HeLa cells reduced by 71% after treatment with GID@RF NPs and laser irradiation. Meanwhile, membrane camouflage significantly prolonged the blood circulation time and enhanced the immune evading ability of GID NPs. Moreover, the drug accumulation at tumor sites was significantly improved through the strong interaction between FA and FA receptor highly expressed on the tumor cells. In vivo assay demonstrated the strongest tumor growth inhibition ability of the combinational chemo/photothermal therapy. H&E analysis indicated no significant abnormalities in the major organs of mice undergoing GID@RF NPs treatment. The level of blood and biochemical parameters remained stable as compared to the control. In summary, this combinational therapy system provides a safe, rapid and effective alternative for the treatment of cervical cancer in the future.

RESUMO

The current study aimed to evaluate the expression and role of miR-323a in the progression of bladder cancer (BC), thereby providing a theoretical basis and potential therapy methods for BC patients. Our data showed that miR-323a levels were significantly reduced in BC tissues compared with those of non-cancerous tissues. Meanwhile, miR-323a was significantly decreased in human BC cell lines (T24, J82, TCCSUP, RT-112) than that in human normal bladder epithelial cell line SV-HUC-1. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-323a markedly enhanced the migration and invasive capacity of T24 and TCCSUP cells. Moreover, overexpression of miR-323a significantly prompted the apoptosis of BC cells. Dual luciferase reporter assay and western blot analysis confirmed that c-Met was a target gene of miR-323a. More importantly, upregulation of c-Met significantly prompted BC cell proliferation mainly as a result of the enhanced level of phosphorylation of AKT. This effect could be abolished when c-Met was silenced in BC cells. In summary, reduced miR-323a expression in BC contributed to enhanced BC cell proliferation and migration mainly by targeting c-Met.
