RESUMO

Following the initial treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), tumor progression often portends an adverse prognosis for these patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of tumor immunity, yet their intricate mechanisms in NPC remain elusive. Through comprehensive miRNA sequencing, tumor tissue microarrays and tissue samples analysis, we identified miR-142-3p as a significantly upregulated miRNA that is strongly associated with poor prognosis in recurrent NPC patients. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism, we employed RNA sequencing, coupled with cellular and tissue assays, to identify the downstream targets and associated signaling pathways of miR-142-3p. Our findings revealed two potential targets, CFL2 and WASL, which are directly targeted by miR-142-3p. Functionally, overexpressing CFL2 or WASL significantly reversed the malignant phenotypes induced by miR-142-3p both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, signaling pathway analysis revealed that miR-142-3p repressed the RIG-I-mediated immune defense response in NPC by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of IRF3, IRF7 and p65. Moreover, we discovered that ADAR1 physically interacted with Dicer and promoted the formation of mature miR-142-3p in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, ADAR1-mediated miR-142-3p processing promotes tumor progression and suppresses antitumor immunity, indicating that miR-142-3p may serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NPC patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a negative prognosis is frequently linked to heightened epigenetic heterogeneity. Chidamide, a selective histone deacetylase inhibitor, shows promise as a targeted therapy for R/R DLBCL by targeting abnormal epigenetic changes associated with poor prognosis. METHODS: A cohort of 27 ineligible patients with R/R DLBCL participated in an open - label, single - arm study. Chidamide was administered orally at a dose of 30 mg twice weekly for one week during the induction monotherapy phase. The subsequent combination therapy phase involved oral chidamide at a dose of 20 mg twice weekly for two weeks, followed by a one-week discontinuation period, in conjunction with intravenous R-GDP every 21 days. RESULTS: Among the cohort of 31 patients who underwent screening (median age: 67 years), 27 were ultimately included in the study, with 14 individuals successfully completing six cycles of C-R-GDP treatment. The overall best objective response rate was determined to be 79.1% (95% CI: 75.1%-83.3%), comprising a complete response rate of 45.8% (95% CI: 41.6%-49.9%) and a partial response rate of 33.3% (95% CI: 29.3%-37.4%). Within the subgroup of 14 patients who completed the full treatment regimen, the best objective response rate reached 100%, with 71.4% achieving complete response (n = 10) and 28.6% achieving partial response (n = 4). The median follow-up period for these patients was 17.0 months, ranging from 3.5 to 55 months. Progression-free survival was 5.9 months and overall survival was 48.3 months. Anemia was the most common adverse event, affecting all patients. Thrombocytopenia led to treatment interruption or dose reduction in 13 patients. Other common adverse events included hypocalcemia, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia. Three patients experienced grade 3 pneumonitis and one had grade 3 skin rash. CONCLUSIONS: Chidamide combined with R-GDP is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with R/R DLBCL who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation.

RESUMO

Objective:Anatomical variation or scar atresia of the drainage channel of the frontal sinus on the affected side, and opening the frontal sinus through the drainage channel of the frontal sinus on the affected side may lead to surgical failure. The purpose of this study is to explore a modified Draf Ⅲ operation to complete the drainage of the affected frontal sinus by removing the floor wall and septum of the frontal sinus and connecting the bilateral frontal sinus through the healthy side of the frontal sinus. Methods:Through the anatomical study of 2 skull bone specimens and 2 fresh frozen specimens, the surgical landmark and surgical approach were explored. Four patients with frontal sinus atresia and frontal sinusitis after DrafⅡb surgery in Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. Descriptive method was used to analyze the data. Results:The bottom wall of bilateral frontal sinus was removed, and the bilateral frontal sinus was enlarged above the nasal septum to form a large common cavity. The uncinate process and ethmoid bubble were retained, and the midline drainage of the affected frontal sinus in the healthy side of the nasal cavity was completed. From August 2022 to April 2023, 4 patients with frontal sinus atresia and frontal sinusitis after DrafⅡb surgery for unilateral frontal sinus papilloma in Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University were treated with surgery. The headache symptoms disappeared after surgery, and the drainage of frontal sinus was spacious, the mucosa healed well and the drainage was unobstructed under endoscopy. There were no other postoperative complications. Conclusion:DrafⅢ approach to unilateral frontal sinus for contralateral drainage can drain the affected frontal sinus adequately. The essence of this operation is to drain the bilateral frontal sinus in the unilateral nasal cavity, and this operation has short path, less trauma, and a broader prospect, which is suitable for promotion.

RESUMO

Biodegradation effectiveness of S. maltophilia DHHJ is determined by its ability to attach to the hydrolyzed feather keratin monomers. This binding capacity can be influenced by many components in the culture medium. Keratin monomers from feathers or those produced by gene overexpression can induce keratinase production in S. maltophilia DHHJ, and several proteases lack the ability to degrade keratin fragments and cysteines. In this study, we co-incubated FITC-labelled keratin monomers with S. maltophilia DHHJ cells in the presence of BSA, DNA, ATP, and several metal ions, and measured fluorescence values and keratinase activity. BSA was found to compete with keratins for cell binding sites, resulting in less keratinase production. DNA did not interfere with cellular binding to keratins revealing unchanged keratinase level. ATP, along with metal ions, enhanced the cellular binding capacity to keratins and increased the production of keratinase by S. maltophilia DHHJ. Fragments of keratin monomers degraded by proteases reduced the ability of cells to bind to keratin and affected enzyme production. Cysteine, a characteristic amino acid of feather keratin, did not have an effect on cellular binding to keratin monomer or on keratinase production. This study will facilitate the tweaking of catalytic parameters to improve feather biodegradation by S. maltophilia DHHJ.

RESUMO

The parapharyngeal space, a complex fascial compartment within the head and neck region, encompasses crucial anatomical structures including blood vessels and nerves. Tumors occurring within this space are rare, with the majority being benign in nature. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment modality; however, managing parapharyngeal space tumors poses significant challenges due to their intricate anatomical configuration. Conventional open surgical approaches have been associated with significant tissue damage and a high prevalence of postoperative complications. Recently, advancements in anatomical studies and surgical techniques have led to significant progress in understanding parapharyngeal space anatomy and improving surgical management. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these developments.

RESUMO

A significant variation in chromatin accessibility is an epigenetic feature of leukemia. The cause of this variation in leukemia, however, remains elusive. Here, we identify SMARCA5, a core ATPase of the imitation switch (ISWI) chromatin remodeling complex, as being responsible for aberrant chromatin accessibility in leukemia cells. We find that SMARCA5 is required to maintain aberrant chromatin accessibility for leukemogenesis and then promotes transcriptional activation of AKR1B1, an aldo/keto reductase, by recruiting transcription co-activator DDX5 and transcription factor SP1. Higher levels of AKR1B1 are associated with a poor prognosis in leukemia patients and promote leukemogenesis by reprogramming fructose metabolism. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of AKR1B1 has been shown to have significant therapeutic effects in leukemia mice and leukemia patient cells. Thus, our findings link the aberrant chromatin state mediated by SMARCA5 to AKR1B1-mediated endogenous fructose metabolism reprogramming and shed light on the essential role of AKR1B1 in leukemogenesis, which may provide therapeutic strategies for leukemia.

RESUMO

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common metabolic disease of the liver, characterized by hepatic steatosis in more than 5% of hepatocytes. However, despite the recent approval of the first drug, resmetirom, for the management of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, decades of target exploration and hundreds of clinical trials have failed, highlighting the urgent need to find new druggable targets for the discovery of innovative drug candidates against MASLD. Here, we found that glutathione S-transferase alpha 1 (GSTA1) expression was negatively associated with lipid droplet accumulation in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of GSTA1 significantly attenuated oleic acid-induced steatosis in hepatocytes or high-fat diet-induced steatosis in the mouse liver. The hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory drug bicyclol also attenuated steatosis by upregulating GSTA1 expression. A detailed mechanism showed that GSTA1 directly interacts with fatty acid binding protein 1 (FABP1) and facilitates the degradation of FABP1, thereby inhibiting intracellular triglyceride synthesis by impeding the uptake and transportation of free fatty acids. Conclusion: GSTA1 may be a good target for the discovery of innovative drug candidates as GSTA1 stabilizers or enhancers against MASLD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been found to be a potential prognostic factor for cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Some LncRNAs have been confirmed as potential indicators to quantify genomic instability (GI). Nevertheless, GI-LncRNAs remain largely unexplored. This study established a GI-derived LncRNA signature (GILncSig) that can predict the prognosis of HCC patients. AIM: To establish a GILncSig that can predict the prognosis of HCC patients. METHODS: Identification of GI-LncRNAs was conducted by combining LncRNA expression and somatic mutation profiles. The GI-LncRNAs were then analyzed for functional enrichment. The GILncSig was established in the training set by Cox regression analysis, and its predictive ability was verified in the testing set and TCGA set. In addition, we explored the effects of the GILncSig and TP53 on prognosis. RESULTS: A total of 88 GI-LncRNAs were found, and functional enrichment analysis showed that their functions were mainly involved in small molecule metabolism and GI. The GILncSig was constructed by 5 LncRNAs (miR210HG, AC016735.1, AC116351.1, AC010643.1, LUCAT1). In the training set, the prognosis of high-risk patients was significantly worse than that of low-risk patients, and similar results were verified in the testing set and TCGA set. Multivariate Cox regression analysis and stratified analysis confirmed that the GILncSig could be used as an independent prognostic factor. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the GILncSig showed that the area under the curve (0.773) was higher than the two LncRNA signatures published recently. Furthermore, the GILncSig may have a better predictive performance than TP53 mutation status alone. CONCLUSION: We established a GILncSig that can predict the prognosis of HCC patients, which will help to guide prognostic evaluation and treatment decisions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A man experienced multiple episodes of macroscopic hematuria following nocturnal exercise. Urinary stones and tumors were considered the two most likely causes. The patient had two hobbies: Consuming health care products in large quantities and engaging in late-night running. CASE SUMMARY: Health care products contain a large amount of calcium phosphate, and we hypothesize that this could induce the formation of small phosphate stones. After exercise, the urinary system is abraded, resulting in bleeding. The patient was advised to stop using the health care products. Consequently, the aforementioned symptoms disappeared immediately. However, the patient resumed the above two habits one year later; correspondingly, the macroscopic hematuria reappeared. CONCLUSION: This finding further confirmed the above inference and allowed for a new avenue to determine the cause of the patient's hematuria.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Retropharyngeal lymphadenectomy is challenging. This study investigated a minimally invasive approach to salvage retropharyngeal lymphadenectomy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS: An anatomical study of four fresh cadaveric heads was conducted to demonstrate the relevant details of retropharyngeal lymphadenectomy using the endoscopic transoral medial pterygomandibular fold approach. Six patients with nasopharyngeal cancer with retropharyngeal lymph node recurrence, who underwent retropharyngeal lymphadenectomy with the endoscopic transoral medial pterygomandibular fold technique at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University from July to December 2021, were included in this study. RESULTS: The anatomical study demonstrated that the endoscopic transoral medial pterygomandibular fold approach offers a short path and minimally invasive approach to the retropharyngeal space. The surgical procedure was well tolerated by all patients, with no significant post-operative complications. CONCLUSION: The endoscopic transoral medial pterygomandibular fold approach is safe and efficient for retropharyngeal lymphadenectomy.

RESUMO

Pyroptotic cell death, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death (PCD), is emerging as a potential therapeutic opportunity for radiotherapy (RT). RT is commonly used for cancer treatment, but its effectiveness can be limited by tumor resistance and adverse effects on healthy tissues. Pyroptosis, characterized by cell swelling, membrane rupture, and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, has been shown to enhance the immune response against cancer cells. By inducing pyroptotic cell death in tumor cells, RT has the potential to enhance treatment outcomes by stimulating anti-tumor immune responses and improving the overall efficacy of RT. Furthermore, the release of danger signals from pyroptotic cells can promote the recruitment and activation of immune cells, leading to a systemic immune response that may target distant metastases. Although further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms and optimize the use of pyroptotic cell death in RT, it holds promise as a novel therapeutic strategy for improving cancer treatment outcomes. This review aims to synthesize recent research on the regulatory mechanisms underlying radiation-induced pyroptosis and to elucidate the potential significance of this process in RT. The insights gained from this analysis may inform strategies to enhance the efficacy of RT for tumors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP has attracted more attention in recent years, due to its association with more severe disease and reduced steroid responsiveness. Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) has been found to modulate neutrophils infiltration in other neutrophilic inflammation including inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. The aim was to evaluate the expression and regulator role of LCN2 in neutrophilic inflammation in CRSwNP, and its role as a potential biomarker predicting non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (neCRSwNP). METHODS: Bioinformatic analysis, immunostainings, real-time PCR and ELISA were used to analyze the expression and location of LCN2 in nasal tissues. The expression of proinflammatory mediators were assessed in nasal tissues and secretions. LCN2 production in human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) and neutrophils, as well as its role in neutrophilic inflammation was evaluated by in vitro experiments. RESULTS: LCN2 was mainly located in neutrophils and HNECs of nasal polyps. LCN2 expression was also significantly higher in the polyp tissue and nasal secretions from patients with neCRSwNP. The LCN2 levels were positively correlated with type 3 inflammation markers, including G-CSF, IL-8, and IL-17. LCN2 expression could be upregulated by IL-17 A and TNF-α in HNECs, and LCN2 could also promote the expression of IL-8 in dispersed polyp cells and HNECs. CONCLUSIONS: LCN2 could serve as a novel biomarker predicting patients with neCRSwNP, and the increased expression of LCN2 may participate in the pathogenesis of neCRSwNP.

RESUMO

Biomass-based hydrogels have attracted great attention in flexible and sustainable self-powered power sources but struggled to fabricate in a green, high-efficiency, and low-cost manner. Herein, a novel and facile alkali-polyphenol synergetic self-catalysis system is originally employed for the fast gelation of self-healable and self-adhesive lignin-based conductive hydrogels, which can be regarded as hydrogel electrodes of flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). This synergy self-catalytic system comprises aqueous alkali and polyphenol-containing lignin, in which alkali-activated ammonium persulfate (APS) significantly accelerates the generation of radicals and initiates the polymerization of monomers, while polyphenol acts as a stabilizer to avoid bursting polymerization from inherent radical scavenging ability. Furthermore, multiple hydrogen bonds between lignin biopolymers and polyacrylamide (PAM) chains impart lignin-based hydrogels with exceptional adhesiveness and self-healing properties. Intriguingly, the alkaline conditions not only contribute to the solubility of lignin but also impart superior ionic conductivity of lignin-based hydrogel that is applicable to flexible TENG in self-powered energy-saving stair light strips, which holds great promise for industrial applications of soft electronics.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation during general anesthesia may impair airway mucosal function. This study aimed to investigate the effect of pressure-controlled ventilation-volume guaranteed (PCV-VG) on bronchial mucus transport velocity (BTV) in patients during laparoscopic surgery for gynecological oncology compared with volume controlled ventilation (VCV). METHODS: 66 patients undergoing elective a laparoscopic surgery for gynecological oncology. The patients were randomized into two group receiving either PCV-VG or VCV. a drop of methylene blue was placed on the surface of the airway mucosa under the bronchoscopeand, then the distance the dye movement was measured after 2, 4, and 6 min. Outcomes were assessed at T0 (5 min after endotracheal intubation and before initiation of pneumoperitoneum), T1 and T2 (1 and 2 h after stabilization of pneumoperitoneum respectively). BTV at T0, T1 and T2 was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), body temperature, end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2), tidal volume(VT), peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), mean inspiratory pressure (Pmean), respiratory rate (RR), and dynamic compliance (CDyn) at T0, T1, and T2. RESULTS: 64 patients were included in the analysis. The median [interquartile range] BTV was significantly lower in VCV group at T1 and T2 that at T0 (P < 0.05). Furthermore, BTV was slightly reduced in PCV-VG compared with VCV. BTV in PCV-VG was significantly decreased at T2 compared with BTV at T0 (P < 0.05) and slightly decreased at T1 compared with T0(P > 0.05). Compared with the PCV-VG group, BTV in VCV group significantly decreased at T2 (P < 0.05). No participants experienced respiratory complications. CONCLUSIONS: PCV-VG is more suitable for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gynecological oncology than VCV since it can protect mucociliary clearance function. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial is registered on https://www.chictr.org.cn/ in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR.2200064564: Date of registration 11/10/2022).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Metabolic alteration drives renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development, while the impact of melatonin (MLT), a neurohormone secreted during darkness, on RCC cell growth and underlying mechanisms remains unclear. METHODS: We detected concentration of metabolites through metabolomic analyses using UPLC-MS/MS, and the oxygen consumption rate was determined using the Seahorse Extracellular Flux analyzer. RESULTS: We observed that MLT effectively inhibited RCC cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, MLT increased ROS levels, suppressed antioxidant enzyme activity, and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, MLT treatment upregulated key TCA cycle metabolites while reducing aerobic glycolysis products, leading to higher oxygen consumption rate, ATP production, and membrane potential. Moreover, MLT treatment suppressed phosphorylation of Akt, mTOR, and p70 S6 Kinase as well as the expression of HIF-1α/VEGFA in RCC cells; these effects were reversed by NAC (ROS inhibitors). Conversely, MLT synergistically inhibited cell growth with sunitinib and counteracted the Warburg effect induced by sunitinib in RCC cells. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, our results indicate that MLT treatment reverses the Warburg effect and promotes intracellular ROS production, which leads to the suppression of Akt/mTOR/S6K signaling pathway, induction of cell apoptosis, and synergistically inhibition of cell growth with sunitinib in RCC cells. Overall, this study provides new insights into the mechanisms underlying anti-tumor effect of MLT in RCC cells, and suggests that MLT might be a promising therapeutic for RCC.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the effects of blood supply from internal carotid artery (ICA) on the surgical outcomes of primary juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) after transarterial embolization (TAE). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on primary JNA patients who underwent TAE and endoscopic resection in our hospital between December 2020 and June 2022. The angiography images of these patients were reviewed, and then they were divided into ICA + external carotid artery (ECA) feeding group and ECA feeding group according to whether the ICA branches were part of the feeding arteries. Tumors in ICA + ECA feeding group were fed by both ICA and ECA branches, while tumors in ECA feeding group were fed by ECA branches alone. All patients underwent tumor resection immediately after ECA feeding branches embolization. None of the patients underwent ICA feeding branches embolization. Data on demographics, tumor characteristics, blood loss, adverse events, residual and recurrence were collected, and case-control analysis was performed for the two groups. Differences in characteristics between the groups were tested using Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS: Eighteen patients were included in this study: nine in ICA + ECA feeding group and nine in ECA feeding group. The median blood loss was 700 mL (IQR 550-1000 mL) in ICA + ECA feeding group versus 300 mL (IQR 200-1000 mL) in ECA feeding group, with no significant statistical difference (P = 0.306). Residual tumor was found in one patient (11.1%) in both groups. Recurrence was not observed in any patient. There were no adverse events from embolization and resection in either group. CONCLUSION: The results of this small series suggest that the presence of blood supply from ICA branches in primary JNA has no significant effect on intraoperative blood loss, adverse event, residual and postoperative recurrence. Therefore, we do not recommend routine preoperative embolization of ICA branches. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4, Case-control.

RESUMO

The bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) can regulate leukemia stem cells (LSCs) via secreted factors. Increasing evidence suggests that dissecting the mechanisms by which the BMM maintains LSCs may lead to the development of effective therapies for the eradication of leukemia. Inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1), a key transcriptional regulator in LSCs, previously identified by us, controls cytokine production in the BMM, but the role of ID1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) BMM remains obscure. Here, we report that ID1 is highly expressed in the BMM of patients with AML, especially in BM mesenchymal stem cells, and that the high expression of ID1 in the AML BMM is induced by BMP6, secreted from AML cells. Knocking out ID1 in mesenchymal cells significantly suppresses the proliferation of cocultured AML cells. Loss of Id1 in the BMM results in impaired AML progression in AML mouse models. Mechanistically, we found that Id1 deficiency significantly reduces SP1 protein levels in mesenchymal cells cocultured with AML cells. Using ID1-interactome analysis, we found that ID1 interacts with RNF4, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and causes a decrease in SP1 ubiquitination. Disrupting the ID1-RNF4 interaction via truncation in mesenchymal cells significantly reduces SP1 protein levels and delays AML cell proliferation. We identify that the target of Sp1, Angptl7, is the primary differentially expression protein factor in Id1-deficient BM supernatant fluid to regulate AML progression in mice. Our study highlights the critical role of ID1 in the AML BMM and aids the development of therapeutic strategies for AML.
