RESUMEN

Myogenic regeneration relies on the proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells. TECRL (trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA reductase like) is an endoplasmic reticulum protein only expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle. However, its role in myogenesis remains unknown. We show that TECRL expression is increased in response to injury. Satellite cell-specific deletion of TECRL enhances muscle repair by increasing the expression of EGR2 through the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which in turn promotes the expression of PAX7. We further show that TECRL deletion led to the upregulation of the histone acetyltransferase general control nonderepressible 5, which enhances the transcription of EGR2 through acetylation. Importantly, we showed that AAV9-mediated TECRL silencing improved muscle repair in mice. These findings shed light on myogenic regeneration and muscle repair.

RESUMEN

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is frequently mutated in haematological malignancies. Although canonical FLT3 mutations including internal tandem duplications (ITDs) and tyrosine kinase domains (TKDs) have been extensively studied, little is known about the clinical significance of non-canonical FLT3 mutations. Here, we first profiled the spectrum of FLT3 mutations in 869 consecutively newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients. Our results showed four types of non-canonical FLT3 mutations depending on the affected protein structure: namely non-canonical point mutations (NCPMs) (19.2%), deletion (0.7%), frameshift (0.8%) and ITD outside the juxtamembrane domain (JMD) and TKD1 regions (0.5%). Furthermore, we found that the survival of patients with high-frequency (>1%) FLT3-NCPM in AML was comparable to those with canonical TKD. In vitro studies using seven representative FLT3-deletion or frameshift mutant constructs showed that the deletion mutants of TKD1 and the FLT3-ITD mutant of TKD2 had significantly higher kinase activity than wild-type FLT3, whereas the deletion mutants of JMD had phosphorylation levels comparable with wild-type FLT3. All tested deletion mutations and ITD were sensitive to AC220 and sorafenib. Collectively, these data enrich our understanding of FLT3 non-canonical mutations in haematological malignancies. Our results may also facilitate prognostic stratification and targeted therapy of AML with FLT3 non-canonical mutations.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: As a core member of the FA complex, in the Fanconi anemia pathway, FAAP24 plays an important role in DNA damage repair. However, the association between FAAP24 and patient prognosis in AML and immune infiltration remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore its expression characteristics, immune infiltration pattern, prognostic value and biological function using TCGA-AML and to verify it in the Beat AML cohort. METHODS: In this study, we examined the expression and prognostic value of FAAP24 across cancers using data from TCGA, TARGET, GTEx, and GEPIA2. To further investigate the prognosis in AML, development and validation of a nomogram containing FAAP24 were performed. GO/KEGG, ssGSEA, GSVA and xCell were utilized to explore the functional enrichment and immunological features of FAAP24 in AML. Drug sensitivity analysis used data from the CellMiner website, and the results were confirmed in vitro. RESULTS: Integrated analysis of the TCGA, TARGET and GTEx databases showed that FAAP24 is upregulated in AML; meanwhile, high FAAP24 expression was associated with poor prognosis according to GEPIA2. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that FAAP24 is implicated in pathways involved in DNA damage repair, the cell cycle and cancer. Components of the immune microenvironment using xCell indicate that FAAP24 shapes an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) in AML, which helps to promote AML progression. Drug sensitivity analysis showed a significant correlation between high FAAP24 expression and chelerythrine resistance. In conclusion, FAAP24 could serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and play an immunomodulatory role in AML. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, FAAP24 is a promising prognostic biomarker in AML that requires further exploration and confirmation.

RESUMEN

Chloride intracellular channel protein 4 (CLIC4) has been implicated in different types of cancers, but the role of CLIC4 in the development of gastric cancer (GC) remains unknown. We analyzed the expression of CLIC4 in 102 pairs of gastric adenocarcinomas by western blot and real-time PCR. Our data revealed that the expression of CLIC4 is reduced in GC tumor tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. The expression levels of CLIC4 correlate inversely with the clinical stage of GC. CLIC4 expression is lowest in MKN45 cells, which have the highest tumorigenic potential and express the highest levels of cancer stem cell markers CD44 and OCT4, compared with N87 and AGS cells. Exogenous overexpression of CLIC4 downregulated the expression of CD44 and OCT4, and inhibited migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, anchorage-independent growth of GC cells was decreased and the cells became more sensitive to 5-fluorouracil and etoposide treatment when CLIC4 was overexpressed. The ability of N87 cells to form tumors in nude mice was enhanced when CLIC4 was silenced. We, for the first time, demonstrate that CLIC4 suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting cancer cell stemness and EMT.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: DAXX is a transcription repressor that has been implicated in several types of cancers, but its role in the development of gastric cancer remains unknown. METHODS: We analysed the expression of DAXX in 83 pairs of gastric cancer samples, including neoplastic and adjacent tissues, and correlated the expression levels with clinical stages. We also investigated the molecular mechanisms by which DAXX downregulation promotes cancer growth using both in vitro and in vivo models. RESULTS: DAXX was downregulated in advanced gastric cancer samples. The expression of DAXX inversely correlates with that of cancer stem cell markers CD44 and Oct4 in gastric cancer lines. DAXX overexpression in gastric cancer cells inhibited migration, invasion and epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT). The inhibition of EMT was achieved through the repression of SNAI3, a key inducer of EMT, by recruiting HDAC-1 into the nucleus. Using a xenograft mouse model, we demonstrated that the MKN45 cells formed smaller tumours when DAXX was overexpressed. Wild-type AGS cells were not able to form tumours in nude mice, but in contrast, formed visible tumours when DAXX was silenced in the cells. CONCLUSION: We for the first time demonstrated that DAXX functions as a tumour suppressor in gastric cancer by inhibiting stem cell growth and EMT.

RESUMEN

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in hematological malignancies. FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations located in juxtamembrane domain (JMD) and tyrosine kinase domain 1 (TKD1) regions account for two-thirds of all FLT3 mutations. The outcome of patients remains unsatisfactory, with low survival rates. It is not yet known whether the different mutations within the FLT3 gene are all associated with patient outcome. In addition, the cause of FLT3-ITD in-frame duplication events remains unknown. Although there are some published studies investigating the FLT3-ITD mutation and its clinical implications in Chinese acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, sample sizes tend to be small and detailed molecular profiles of FLT3 mutations are lacking in these studies. In our study, 227 FLT3-ITD sequences were analyzed from 227 Chinese de novo AML patients. ITD were next classified into 3 types based on molecular profiles of insertion DNA sequences: DNA complete duplication (type I), DNA partial duplication (type II) and complete random sequence (type III). From the 154 patients, we confirmed that high ITD allelic ratio (≥.5) and allogeneic stem cell transplant treatment under CR1 are independent prognostic factors. We also presented evidence that ITD integration sites in the hinge region or beta1-sheet region are an unfavorable prognostic factor in adult AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations. These findings may help to decipher the mechanisms of FLT3-ITD in-frame duplication events and stratify patients when considering different therapeutic combinations.

RESUMEN

8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) base is the predominant form of commonly observed DNA oxidative damage. DNA impairment profoundly impacts gene expression and serves as a pivotal factor in stimulating neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and aging. Therefore, precise quantification of 8-oxoG has clinical significance in the investigation of DNA damage detection methodologies. However, at present, the existing approaches for 8-oxoG detection pose challenges in terms of convenience, expediency, affordability, and heightened sensitivity. We employed the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique, a highly efficient and swift colorimetric method, to detect variations in 8-oxo-dG content in MCF-7 cell samples stimulated with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We determined the concentration of H2O2 that induced oxidative damage in MCF-7 cells by detecting its IC50 value in MCF-7 cells. Subsequently, we treated MCF-7 cells with 0, 0.25, and 0.75 mM H2O2 for 12 h and extracted 8-oxo-dG from the cells. Finally, the samples were subjected to ELISA. Following a series of steps, including plate spreading, washing, incubation, color development, termination of the reaction, and data collection, we successfully detected changes in the 8-oxo-dG content in MCF-7 cells induced by H2O2. Through such endeavors, we aim to establish a method to evaluate the degree of DNA oxidative damage within cell samples and, in doing so, advance the development of more expedient and convenient approaches for DNA damage detection. This endeavor is poised to make a meaningful contribution to the exploration of associative analyses between DNA oxidative damage and various domains, including clinical research on diseases and the detection of toxic substances.

RESUMEN

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a basic process of life that is closely related to the growth, development, aging and disease of organisms and is one of the hotspots of life science research today. PCD is a kind of genetic control, autonomous and orderly important cell death that involves the activation, expression, and regulation of a series of genes. In recent years, with the deepening of research in this field, new mechanisms of multiple PCD pathways have been revealed. This article reviews and summarizes the multiple PCD pathways that have been discovered, analyses and compares the morphological characteristics and biomarkers of different types of PCD, and briefly discusses the role of various types of PCD in the diagnosis and treatment of different diseases, especially malignant tumors.

RESUMEN

RUNX1 is one of the recurrent mutated genes in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although historically recognized as a provisional distinct entity, the AML subtype with RUNX1 mutations (AML-RUNX1mut) was eliminated from the 2022 WHO classification system. To gain more insight into the characteristics of AML-RUNX1mut, we retrospectively analyzed 1065 newly diagnosed adult AML patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2017 and December 2021. RUNX1 mutations were identified in 112 patients (10.5%). The presence of RUNX1 mutation (RUNX1mut) conferred a lower composite complete remission (CRc) rate (40.2% vs. 58.4%, P<0.001), but no significant difference was observed in the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (50.2% vs. 53.9%; HR=1.293; P=0.115) and event-free survival (EFS) rate (51.5% vs. 49.4%; HR=1.487, P=0.089), even within the same risk stratification. Multivariate analysis showed that RUNX1mut was not an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR=1.352, P=0.068) or EFS (HR=1.129, P=0.513). When patients were stratified according to induction regimen, RUNX1mut was an unfavorable factor for CRc both on univariate and multivariate analysis in patients receiving conventional chemotherapy, and higher risk stratification predicted worse OS. In those who received venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents, RUNX1mut was not predictive of CRc and comparable OS and EFS were seen between intermediate-risk and adverse-risk groups. The results of this study revealed that the impact of RUNX1mut is limited. Its prognostic value depended more on treatment and co-occurrent abnormalities. VEN-HMA may abrogate the prognostic impact of RUNX1, which merits a larger prospective cohort to illustrate.

RESUMEN

Current anticancer therapies cannot eliminate all cancer cells, which hijack normal arginine methylation as a means to promote their maintenance via unknown mechanisms. Here we show that targeting protein arginine N-methyltransferase 9 (PRMT9), whose activities are elevated in blasts and leukemia stem cells (LSCs) from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), eliminates disease via cancer-intrinsic mechanisms and cancer-extrinsic type I interferon (IFN)-associated immunity. PRMT9 ablation in AML cells decreased the arginine methylation of regulators of RNA translation and the DNA damage response, suppressing cell survival. Notably, PRMT9 inhibition promoted DNA damage and activated cyclic GMP-AMP synthase, which underlies the type I IFN response. Genetically activating cyclic GMP-AMP synthase in AML cells blocked leukemogenesis. We also report synergy of a PRMT9 inhibitor with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 in eradicating AML. Overall, we conclude that PRMT9 functions in survival and immune evasion of both LSCs and non-LSCs; targeting PRMT9 may represent a potential anticancer strategy.

RESUMEN

Triptolide (TPL) is a diterpenoid isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii. It has powerful antitumor, immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have shown that TPL can induce apoptosis of hematological tumor cells, inhibit their proliferation and survival, promote autophagy and ferroptosis, and enhance the efficacy of traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Various molecules and signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, BCR-ABL, and Caspase, are involved in inducing apoptosis of leukemia cells. To solve the water solubility and toxic side effects of TPL, low-dose TPL (IC20) combined with chemotherapy drugs and various TPL derivatives have entered preclinical studies. This review discusses advances in molecular mechanism, the development and utilization of structural analogues of TPL in hematologic tumors in the past two decades, and clinical applications.

RESUMEN

In this study, the effects of different levels of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on the growth performance, carcass traits, organ index, blood biochemistry, and antioxidant capacity of yellow-feathered broilers were investigated to provide a reference for the application of AFB1-containing feed ingredients. In this test, yellow-feathered broilers were chosen as the research objects and divided into five treatment groups, with seven replicates in each group and 75 broilers in each replicate. The AFB1 concentration in the diets of groups 1 to 5 were 1.5 µg/kg, 15 µg/kg, 30 µg/kg, 45 µg/kg, and 60 µg/kg, respectively. The results showed that when dietary AFB1 levels were greater than 45 µg/kg, the feed conversion ratios of broilers of 1-21, 22-42, and 43-63 days of age increased (P<0.05). When dietary AFB1 levels were 30 µg/kg, liver glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was decreased (P<0.05), and serum transaminase (AST) activity was increased (P<0.05). Overall, dietary AFB1 levels had negative effects on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, blood biochemistry, and liver metabolism in yellow-feathered broilers. Based on using growth performance as the effect index, AFB1 levels in the diets of yellow-feathered broilers should not exceed 45 µg/kg. Based on using antioxidant capacity, liver function, and blood biochemistry as effect indexes, AFB1 levels in the diets of yellow-feathered broilers should not exceed 30 µg/kg.

RESUMEN

Prostate cancer (PCa) refers to epithelial malignancies occurring in prostate and is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men. Flap structure-specific endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is one of the major base excise repair enzymes and is abnormally expressed in a variety of cancers, which contributes to cancer progression. Targeting FEN1 serves as a potent strategy for cancer therapy. However, how FEN1 acts on PCa cell proliferation and its role in chemotherapeutic response remain largely unknown. In this study, we show that knockdown of FEN1 by CRISPR/Cas9 system impedes the proliferation and migration of PCa cells. FEN1 Inhibitor SC13 induced DNA damage accumulation and further resulted in apoptosis of PCa cells. Furthermore, genetic knockdown of FEN1 or inhibition of FEN1 by SC13 promoted DNA damage and enhanced docetaxel (DTX)-induced chemotherapeutic response in PCa cells. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the importance of FEN1 in PCa cell proliferation and implicate FEN1 as a promising target for monotherapy or combination therapeutic strategy in PCa treatment.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy with high molecular and clinical heterogeneity, and is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. Due to limited treatment options, AML is prone to relapse and has a poor prognosis. Excision repair cross-complementing 3 (ERCC3) is an important member of nucleotide excision repair (NER) that is overexpressed in types of solid cancers and potentially regarded as a prognostic factor. However, its role in AML remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore ERCC3 expression and functions in AML. METHODS: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) were used to test the accuracy of ERCC3 expression levels for AML diagnosis. Using online databases and R packages, we also explored the signaling pathway, epigenetic regulation, infiltration of immune cells, clinical prognostic value, and ceRNA network in AML. RESULTS: Our results revealed that ERCC3 expression was increased in AML and that high ERCC3 expression had good value for disease-free survival and overall survival in AML patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We found that ERCC3 and co-expressed genes were mainly involved in chemical carcinogenesis/reactive oxygen species, ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation and oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, almost all the m6A-related coding genes (except GF2BP1) were positively associated with ERCC3 expression. We also constructed a ceRNA regulatory network containing ERCC3 in AML and identified 6 pairs of ceRNA networks, indicating that ERCC3 expression is regulated by a noncoding RNA system. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that ERCC3 was overexpressed in AML and that high ERCC3 expression can be considered a biomarker conducive to allo-HSCT in AML patients.

RESUMEN

Tumor development relies on the stemness of cancer stem cells, which is regulated by environmental cues. Previous studies have shown that zyxin can inhibit the expression of genes for embryonic stem cell status. In the present study, the expression levels of zyxin protein in cancer tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues from 73 gastric cancer patients with different clinical stages were analyzed by Western blot. We showed that the relative expression levels of zyxin in gastric cancer tissues (cancer tissues/adjacent tissues) were significantly downregulated in advanced clinical stages. Overexpression of zyxin inhibited the stemness and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes in gastric cancer cells. Zyxin also inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion but increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to drugs. Overexpression of zyxin in MKN45 cells inhibited tumor growth in nude mice. We show that the interactions between zyxin and SIRT1 led to the upregulation of SIRT1, reduced acetylation levels of histone H3 K9 and K23, decreased transcription levels of SNAI 1/2, and inhibition of the EMT process. This study demonstrated that zyxin negatively regulates the progression of gastric cancer by inhibiting the stemness of cancer stem cells and EMT. Our findings shed new light on the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.

RESUMEN

The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle is dependent on satellite cells. The circadian clock regulates the maintenance and function of satellite cells. Cryptochrome 2 (CRY2) is a critical component of the circadian clock, and its role in skeletal muscle regeneration remains controversial. Using the skeletal muscle lineage and satellite cell-specific CRY2 knockout mice (CRY2scko), we show that the deletion of CRY2 enhances muscle regeneration. Single myofiber analysis revealed that deletion of CRY2 stimulates the proliferation of myoblasts. The differentiation potential of myoblasts was enhanced by the loss of CRY2 evidenced by increased expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and myotube formation in CRY2-/- cells versus CRY2+/+ cells. Immunostaining revealed that the number of mononucleated paired box protein 7 (PAX7+) cells associated with myotubes formed by CRY2-/- cells was increased compared with CRY2+/+ cells, suggesting that more reserve cells were produced in the absence of CRY2. Loss of CRY2 leads to the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway and ETS1, which binds to the promoter of PAX7 to induce its transcription. CRY2 deficient myoblasts survived better in ischemic muscle. Therefore, CRY2 is essential in regulating skeletal muscle repair.

RESUMEN

The treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with central nervous system (CNS) involvement poses a significant clinical challenge because most chemotherapeutic agents exhibit weak permeability to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In addition, current anti-CNS leukemia treatments often bring short or long-term complications. Immunotherapy including chimeric antigen T-cell therapy and bispecific antibody have shown profound treatment responses in relapsed/refractory B-ALL. However, there is a lack of data on the efficacy of bispecific antibody in treating B-ALL with CNS involvement. Here, we report two ALL patients with CNS leukemia who received blinatumomab. Case 1 was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in lymphoid blast phase. The patient developed CNS leukemia and bone marrow relapse during the treatment with dasatinib. Case 2 was diagnosed with B-ALL and suffered early hematologic relapse and cerebral parenchyma involvement. After treatment with one cycle of blinatumomab, both patients achieved complete remission in the bone marrow and CNS. Furthermore, this is the first report on the efficacy of blinatumomab in treating CNS leukemia with both of the cerebral spinal fluid and the cerebral parenchymal involvement. Our results suggest that blinatumomab might be a potential option for the treatment of CNS leukemia.

RESUMEN

FLT3 mutations are one of the most common genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are identified in approximately one-third of newly diagnosed patients. Aberrant FLT3 receptor signaling has important implications for the biology and clinical management of AML. In recent years, targeting FLT3 has been a part of every course of treatment in FLT3-ITD/TKD-mutated AML and contributes to substantially prolonged survival. At the same time, wide application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has revealed a series of non-canonical FLT3 mutations, including point mutations and small insertions/deletions. Some of these mutations may be able to influence downstream phosphorylation and sensitivity to FLT3 inhibitors, while the correlation with clinical outcomes remains unclear. Exploration of FLT3-targeted therapy has made substantial progress, but resistance to FLT3 inhibitors has become a pressing issue. The mechanisms underlying FLT3 inhibitor tolerance can be roughly divided into primary resistance and secondary resistance. Primary resistance is related to abnormalities in signaling factors, such as FL, CXCL12, and FGF2, and secondary resistance mainly involves on-target mutations and off-target aberrations. To overcome this problem, novel agents such as FF-10101 have shown promising potential. Multitarget strategies directed at FLT3 and anomalous signaling factors simultaneously are in active clinical development and show promising results.

RESUMEN

Existing studies suggest that m6A methylation is closely related to the prognosis of cancer. We developed three prognostic models based on m6A-related transcriptomics in lung adenocarcinoma patients and performed external validations. The TCGA-LUAD cohort served as the derivation cohort and six GEO data sets as external validation cohorts. The first model (mRNA model) was developed based on m6A-related mRNA. LASSO and stepwise regression were used to screen genes and the prognostic model was developed from multivariate Cox regression model. The second model (lncRNA model) was constructed based on m6A related lncRNAs. The four steps of random survival forest, LASSO, best subset selection and stepwise regression were used to screen genes and develop a Cox regression prognostic model. The third model combined the risk scores of the first two models with clinical variable. Variables were screened by stepwise regression. The mRNA model included 11 predictors. The internal validation C index was 0.736. The lncRNA model has 15 predictors. The internal validation C index was 0.707. The third model combined the risk scores of the first two models with tumor stage. The internal validation C index was 0.794. In validation sets, all C-indexes of models were about 0.6, and three models had good calibration accuracy.
