ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the predictive value of gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced MRI for microvascular invision (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Retrospective analysis of 70 patients confirmed by pathology as HCC who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI within 2 weeks prior to liver partial resection or liver transplantation surgery from January 2015 to May 2018 in Nantong Third People's Hospital. According to the pathological results of the postoperative pathology, MVI was divided into MVI positive group and MVI negative group, and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) was recorded. In Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI, qualitative indicators including whether the tumor signal was uniform, peritumoral enhancement, tumor capsule, tumor margin, peritumor hypointensity and presence of fat in the tumor were assessed. Quantitative indicators including tumor diameter and the increase rate of liver-to-muscle ratio(ΔLMR) of post-enhancement arterial phase, portal vein phase, transitional phase and hepatobiliary phase were assessed and recorded. Theχ2 test was used to compare the qualitative parameters of the MVI-negative group and the MVI-positive group, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the non-normal quantitative parameters. In both inclusion and non-inclusion of peritumor hypointensity cases in the hepatobiliary phase. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to indicate independent variables after univariate analysis. The prediction probability 1 (pre-1) and the prediction probability 2 (pre-2) were obtained, and the two as independent variables. with MVI as the gold standard, using ROC to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of both for HCC MVI, and using Z test to compare the area under the ROC of pre-1 and pre-2. Results There were 27 lesions in 26 cases of MVI-positive group and 50 lesions in 44 cases of MVI-negative group. There was a statistically significant difference between the MVI-negative group and the MVI-positive group in peritumoral enhancement, tumor capsule, tumor margin and peritumor hypointensity in the hepatobiliary phase (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in gender distribution, tumor signal uniformity and intratumoral fat (P>0.05). There was significant difference in lesion diameter between MVI-negative group and MVI-positive group (P<0.05) while no significant difference in age, AFP value andΔLMR between the two groups (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter, non-smooth tumor margin and peritumor hypointensity were independent risks of MVI when peritumor hypointensity was included, the sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis of MVI were 77.8% and 94.0%;Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter and non-smooth tumor margin were independent risks of MVI when peritumor hypointensity was not included, the sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis of MVI were 59.3%and 92.0%. The the area under the ROC of pre-1 and pre-2 were 0.900 and 0.816, their difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI can be used to predict HCC MVI preoperatively, especially peritumor hypointensity in hepatobiliary phase is important for the prediction of MVI.

ABSTRACT

MTUS1 (microtubule-associated tumor suppressor 1) has been identified that can function as a tumor suppressor gene in many malignant tumors. However, the function and mechanisms underlying the regulation of MTUS1 are unclear. In the present study, we reported that miR-19a and miR-19b (miR-19a/b) promote proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells by targeting MTUS1. First, MTUS1 was proved to function as a tumor suppressor in lung cancer and was linked to cell proliferation and migration promotion. Second, an inverse correlation between miR-19a/b expression and MTUS1 mRNA/protein expression was noted in human lung cancer tissues. Third, MTUS1 was appraised as a direct target of miR-19a/b by bioinformatics analysis. Fourth, direct MTUS1 regulation by miR-19a/b in lung cancer cells was experimentally affirmed by cell transfection assay and luciferase reporter assay. Finally, miR-19a/b were shown to cooperatively repress MTUS1 expression and synergistically regulate MTUS1 expression to promote lung cancer cell proliferation and migration. In conclusion, our findings have provided the first clues regarding the roles of miR-19a/b, which appear to function as oncomirs in lung cancer by downregulating MTUS1.

ABSTRACT

The BCL6 (B-Cell Lymphoma 6) gene is a proto-oncogene that is often expressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). BCL6 loss of function can kill DLBCL cells, demonstrating that BCL6 is necessary for the survival of DLBCL cells and could be a therapeutic target. In this study, we found that BCL6 protein levels were consistently upregulated in DLBCL tissues, whereas its mRNA levels varied randomly in tissues, suggesting that a post-transcriptional mechanism was involved in BCL6 regulation. We used bioinformatics analysis to search for miRNAs, which potentially target BCL6, and identified specific targeting sites for miR-10a in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of BCL6. We further identified an inverse correlation between miR-10a levels and BCL6 protein levels, but not mRNA levels, in DLBCL tumor tissue samples. By overexpressing or knocking down miR-10a in DLBCL cells, we experimentally validated that miR-10a directly recognizes the 3'-UTR of the BCL6 transcript and regulated BCL6 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated that negatively regulating BCL6 by miR-10a suppressed the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of DLBCL cells.

ABSTRACT

Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is a RNA-binding protein that acts as a tumor suppressor in many cancer types, including colorectal cancer (CRC). During CRC carcinogenesis, PDCD4 protein levels remarkably decrease, but the underlying molecular mechanism for decreased PDCD4 expression is not fully understood. In this study, we performed bioinformatics analysis to identify miRNAs that potentially target PDCD4. We demonstrated miR-181b as a direct regulator of PDCD4. We further showed that activation of IL6/STAT3 signaling pathway increased miR-181b expression and consequently resulted in downregulation of PDCD4 in CRC cells. In addition, we investigated the biological effects of PDCD4 inhibition by miR-181b both in vitro and in vivo and found that miR-181b could promote cell proliferation and migration and suppress apoptosis in CRC cells and accelerate tumor growth in xenograft mice, potentially through targeting PDCD4. Taken together, this study highlights an oncomiR role for miR-181b in regulating PDCD4 in CRC and suggests that miR-181b may be a novel molecular therapeutic target for CRC.

ABSTRACT

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary sarcoma of bone, and it is a leading cause of cancer death among adolescents and young adults. However, the molecular mechanism underlying osteosarcoma carcinogenesis remains poorly understood. Recently, cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) was identified as an important oncogene. We found that CDK6 protein level, rather than CDK6 mRNA level, is much higher in osteosarcoma tissues than in normal adjacent tissues, which indicates a post-transcriptional mechanism involved in CDK6 regulation in osteosarcoma. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and have widely been shown to play important roles in many human cancers. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-29b as a novel regulator of CDK6 using bioinformatics methods. We demonstrated that CDK6 can be downregulated by miR-29b via binding to the 3'-UTR region in osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, we identified an inverse correlation between miR-29b and CDK6 protein levels in osteosarcoma tissues. Finally, we examined the function of miR-29b-driven repression of CDK6 expression in osteosarcoma cells. The results revealed that miR-29b acts as a tumor suppressor of osteosarcoma by targeting CDK6 in the proliferation and migration processes. Taken together, our results highlight an important role for miR-29b in the regulation of CDK6 in osteosarcoma and may open new avenues for future osteosarcoma therapies.

ABSTRACT

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. It has long been assumed that miRNAs exert their roles only in the cytoplasm, where they recognize their target protein-coding messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and result in translational repression or target mRNA degradation. Recent studies, however, have revealed that mature miRNAs can also be transported from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and that these nuclear miRNAs can function in an unconventional manner to regulate the biogenesis and functions of ncRNAs (including miRNAs and long ncRNAs), adding a new layer of complexity to our understanding of gene regulation. In this review, we summarize recent literature on the working model of these unconventional miRNAs and speculate on their biological significance. We have every reason to believe that these novel models of miRNA function will become a major research topic in gene regulation in eukaryotes.

ABSTRACT

Objectives To evaluate the clinical value of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis in school-age healthy chil-dren with functional ST-T changes in electrocardiogram (ECG). Methods In 143 school-age children (50 cases of functional ST-T changes, 43 cases of myocarditis children with ST-T change, 50 cases of healthy controls without ST-T changes), HRV time domain value was measured in three groups with 24 dynamic electrocardiogram. Results Compared with healthy controls, PNN50, rMSSD and SDSD were decreased while the heart rate, SDNN and SDANN were increased in children with functional ST-T changes (P all<0.05). Meanwhile, compared with children with functional ST-T changes and healthy controls, the heart rate was increased while PNN50, rMSSD, SDSD, SDNN and SDANN were decreased in the myocarditis children with ST-T change (P<0.05). Conclusions The autonomic nervous system of school-age children is not stable. The functional ST-T changes are related with the imbalance between sympathetic and vagus nerve activities. HRV analysis has important diagnostic signifi-cance in the functional ST-T changes.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between 5-minute Apgar score and heart rate variability (HRV) in severely asphyxiated neonates. Methods A total of 103 severely asphyxiated neonates with 1-minute Apgar score of 0 to 3 points were selected. They were divided into Group A (>7 points, n=50) and Group B (≤7 points, n=53) based on 5-minute Apgar score. Meanwhile, 40 full-term neonates with 1-and 5-minute Apgar score greater than 7 points were selected as control group. 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram was performed and HRV was analyzed on the third day after birth in three groups. Results PNN50, rMSSD, SDSD were decreased and SDNN, SDANN were increased in group B as compared with group A and control group (P0.05). Conclusions Neonatal asphyxia can cause damage to autonomic nervous system. 5-minute Apgar score and HRV can be joint-ly used as a non-invasive index in autonomic nervous damage and its prognosis in asphyxiated newborns.

ABSTRACT

A new class of RNA regulatory genes known as microRNAs (miRNAs) has been found to introduce a whole new layer of gene regulation in eukaryotes. The intensive studies of the past several years have demonstrated that miRNAs are not only found intracellularly, but are also detectable outside cells, including in various body fluids (e.g. serum, plasma, saliva, urine and milk). This phenomenon raises questions about the biological function of such extracellular miRNAs. Substantial amounts of extracellular miRNAs are enclosed in small membranous vesicles (e.g. exosomes, shedding vesicles and apoptotic bodies) or packaged with RNA-binding proteins (e.g. high-density lipoprotein, Argonaute 2 and nucleophosmin 1). These miRNAs may function as secreted signaling molecules to influence the recipient cell phenotypes. Furthermore, secreted extracellular miRNAs may reflect molecular changes in the cells from which they are derived and can therefore potentially serve as diagnostic indicators of disease. Several studies also point to the potential application of siRNA/miRNA delivery as a new therapeutic strategy for treating diseases. In this review, we summarize what is known about the mechanism of miRNA secretion. In addition, we describe the pathophysiological roles of secreted miRNAs and their clinical potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic drugs. We believe that miRNA transfer between cells will have a significant impact on biological research in the coming years.
