RESUMO
Despite the availability of life-extending treatments for B cell leukemias and lymphomas, many of these cancers remain incurable. Thus, the development of new molecular targets and therapeutics is needed to expand treatment options. To identify new molecular targets, we used a forward genetic screen in mice to identify genes required for development or survival of lymphocytes. Here, we describe Zfp574, an essential gene encoding a zinc finger protein necessary for normal and malignant lymphocyte survival. We show that ZFP574 interacts with zinc finger protein THAP12 and promotes the G1-to-S-phase transition during cell cycle progression. Mutation of ZFP574 impairs nuclear localization of the ZFP574-THAP12 complex. ZFP574 or THAP12 deficiency results in cell cycle arrest and impaired lymphoproliferation. Germline mutation, acute gene deletion, or targeted degradation of ZFP574 suppressed Myc-driven B cell leukemia in mice, but normal B cells were largely spared, permitting long-term survival, whereas complete lethality was observed in control animals. Our findings support the identification of drugs targeting ZFP574-THAP12 as a unique strategy to treat B cell malignancies.

BACKGROUND: Anti-PD-1 therapy and chemotherapy is a recommended first-line treatment for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but the role of PD-1 blockade remains unknown in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. We assessed the addition of sintilimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, to standard chemoradiotherapy in this patient population. METHODS: This multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial was conducted at nine hospitals in China. Adults aged 18-65 years with newly diagnosed high-risk non-metastatic stage III-IVa locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (excluding T3-4N0 and T3N1) were eligible. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) using blocks of four to receive gemcitabine and cisplatin induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent cisplatin radiotherapy (standard therapy group) or standard therapy with 200 mg sintilimab intravenously once every 3 weeks for 12 cycles (comprising three induction, three concurrent, and six adjuvant cycles to radiotherapy; sintilimab group). The primary endpoint was event-free survival from randomisation to disease recurrence (locoregional or distant) or death from any cause in the intention-to-treat population. Secondary endpoints included adverse events. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03700476) and is now completed; follow-up is ongoing. FINDINGS: Between Dec 21, 2018, and March 31, 2020, 425 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to the sintilimab (n=210) or standard therapy groups (n=215). At median follow-up of 41·9 months (IQR 38·0-44·8; 389 alive at primary data cutoff [Feb 28, 2023] and 366 [94%] had at least 36 months of follow-up), event-free survival was higher in the sintilimab group compared with the standard therapy group (36-month rates 86% [95% CI 81-90] vs 76% [70-81]; stratified hazard ratio 0·59 [0·38-0·92]; p=0·019). Grade 3-4 adverse events occurred in 155 (74%) in the sintilimab group versus 140 (65%) in the standard therapy group, with the most common being stomatitis (68 [33%] vs 64 [30%]), leukopenia (54 [26%] vs 48 [22%]), and neutropenia (50 [24%] vs 46 [21%]). Two (1%) patients died in the sintilimab group (both considered to be immune-related) and one (<1%) in the standard therapy group. Grade 3-4 immune-related adverse events occurred in 20 (10%) patients in the sintilimab group. INTERPRETATION: Addition of sintilimab to chemoradiotherapy improved event-free survival, albeit with higher but manageable adverse events. Longer follow-up is necessary to determine whether this regimen can be considered as the standard of care for patients with high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Sunitinib has emerged as the primary treatment for advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) due to its significant improvement in patients' average survival time. However, drug resistance and adverse effects of sunitinib pose challenges to its clinical benefits. METHODS: The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with sunitinib sensitivity and resistance in ccRCC were investigated. Cell counting kit-8, plate colony formation, flow cytometry and subcutaneous xenograft tumor model assays were employed to explore the effects of PDZK1 on ccRCC. Further research on the molecular mechanism was conducted through western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence co-localization and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: We elucidated that PDZK1 is significantly downregulated in sunitinib-resistant ccRCC specimens, and PDZK1 negatively regulates the phosphorylation of PDGFR-ß and the activation of its downstream pathways through interaction with PDGFR-ß. The dysregulated low levels of PDZK1 contribute to inadequate inhibition of cell proliferation, tumor growth, and insensitivity to sunitinib treatment. Notably, our preclinical investigations showed that miR-15b antagomirs enhance sunitinib cytotoxic effects against ccRCC cells by upregulating PDZK1 levels, suggesting their potential in overcoming sunitinib resistance. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings establish the miR-15b/PDZK1/PDGFR-ß axis as a promising therapeutic target and a novel predictor for ccRCC patients' response to sunitinib treatment.

As a typical RNA virus, the genetic information on HIV-1 is entirely stored in RNA. The reverse transcription activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) plays a crucial role in the replication and transmission of the virus. Non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs) block the function of RT by binding to the RNA binding site on RT, with very few targeting viral RNA. In this study, by transforming planar conjugated ligands into a spiro structure, we convert classical Ru(II) DNA intercalators into a nonintercalator. This enables selective binding to HIV-1 transactivation response (TAR) RNA on the outer side of nucleic acids through dual interactions involving hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attraction, effectively inhibiting HIV-1 RT and serving as a selective fluorescence probe for TAR RNA.

Recent studies have identified thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mammalian genomes that regulate gene expression in different biological processes. Although lncRNAs have been identified in a variety of immune cells and implicated in immune response, the biological function and mechanism of the majority remain unexplored, especially in sepsis. Here, we identify a role for a lncRNA-gastric adenocarcinoma predictive long intergenic noncoding RNA (GAPLINC)-previously characterized for its role in cancer, now in the context of innate immunity, macrophages, and LPS-induced endotoxic shock. Transcriptome analysis of macrophages from humans and mice reveals that GAPLINC is a conserved lncRNA that is highly expressed following macrophage differentiation. Upon inflammatory activation, GAPLINC is rapidly down-regulated. Macrophages depleted of GAPLINC display enhanced expression of inflammatory genes at baseline, while overexpression of GAPLINC suppresses this response. Consistent with GAPLINC-depleted cells, Gaplinc knockout mice display enhanced basal levels of inflammatory genes and show resistance to LPS-induced endotoxic shock. Mechanistically, survival is linked to increased levels of nuclear NF-κB in Gaplinc knockout mice that drives basal expression of target genes typically only activated following inflammatory stimulation. We show that this activation of immune response genes prior to LPS challenge leads to decreased blood clot formation, which protects Gaplinc knockout mice from multiorgan failure and death. Together, our results identify a previously unknown function for GAPLINC as a negative regulator of inflammation and uncover a key role for this lncRNA in modulating endotoxic shock.

In this Letter, an integrated waveform geometrically shaped (GS) 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication signal combined with a linear frequency modulation (LFM) radar signal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a W-band communication and radar detection system. The proposed method can generate communication and radar signals simultaneously. The inherent error propagation and the interference of the radar signal limit the transmission performance of the joint communication and radar sensing system. Thus, an artificial neural network (ANN) scheme is proposed for the GS-16QAM OFDM signal. After 0.8-m wireless transmission, the experimental results show that the receiver sensitivity and normalized general mutual information (NGMI) of the GS-16QAM OFDM are improved compared with that of the OFDM with uniform 16QAM at the forward error correction (FEC) threshold of 3.8 × 10-3. In addition, multi-target radar detection in centimeter level radar ranging is realized.

RESUMO
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third in cancer incidence and second in cancer mortality globally. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CRC diagnosis and treatment. The miR-155 is reported to induce radiation resistance in CRC. In this study, we aimed to further clarify the role and underlying mechanism of the miR-155 in CRC cell malignancy. We found that miR-155 was significantly up-regulated in CRC tissues. The results of loss-of-function experiments revealed that miR-155 deficiency suppressed the proliferative capacity, invasion, and migration of CRC cells. Moreover, the downstream target genes of miR-155 were screened, and miR-155 was demonstrated to directly bind to FOXO3a in CRC cells to negatively regulate FOXO3a expression. FOXO3a was downregulated in CRC tissues and the expression of FOXO3a and miR-155 was in negative correlation in CRC tissues. FOXO3a overexpression alone was revealed to inhibit CRC cell growth, migration and invasion. Additionally, rescue assays showed that FOXO3a silencing significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-155 deficiency on CRC cell malignant behaviors. In conclusion, miR-155 induces malignant phenotypes of CRC cells including cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting FOXO3a, which might provide clues for the targeted therapy of CRC.

An integrated interferometric fiber optic velocimetry sensor has been proposed and demonstrated at the central wavelength of 638 nm. The sensor is based on the principle of two laser-beams' interference. The light signal scattered from the particles or vapor is demodulated to measure the water surface velocity and water vapor velocity. Three velocity measurement experiments are carried out to measure the velocity, and the experimental data shows that the velocity increases linearly in the range of 4 mm·s-1 to 100 mm·s-1, with a slope of linear fitting curve of 0.99777 and the R-Square of 1.00000. The velocity calculated from frequency shift fits well with the reference velocity. The maximum average relative error in the three velocity measurements is less than 2.5%. In addition, the maximum speed of 4.398 m·s-1 is confirmed in the rotating disk calibration experiment, which expands the sensor's velocity measurement range. To solve the problem that it is difficult to directly measure the velocity of small-scale water surface flow velocity, especially from the aspect of the low velocity of air-water surface, the interferometric fiber optic sensor can be applied to the measurement of water surface velocity and wind velocity on the water surface.
RESUMO
Multiprotein bridging factor 1 (MBF1) is an ancient family of transcription coactivators that play a crucial role in the response of plants to abiotic stress. In this study, we analyzed the genomic data of five Solanaceae plants and identified a total of 21 MBF1 genes. The expansion of MBF1a and MBF1b subfamilies was attributed to whole-genome duplication (WGD), and the expansion of the MBF1c subfamily occurred through transposed duplication (TRD). Collinearity analysis within Solanaceae species revealed collinearity between members of the MBF1a and MBF1b subfamilies, whereas the MBF1c subfamily showed relative independence. The gene expression of SlER24 was induced by sodium chloride (NaCl), polyethylene glycol (PEG), ABA (abscisic acid), and ethrel treatments, with the highest expression observed under NaCl treatment. The overexpression of SlER24 significantly enhanced the salt tolerance of tomato, and the functional deficiency of SlER24 decreased the tolerance of tomato to salt stress. SlER24 enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity to reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and alleviated plasma membrane damage under salt stress. SlER24 upregulated the expression levels of salt stress-related genes to enhance salt tolerance in tomato. In conclusion, this study provides basic information for the study of the MBF1 family of Solanaceae under abiotic stress, as well as a reference for the study of other plants.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive malignancy and represents the most common brain tumor in adults. To better understand its biology for new and effective therapies, we examined the role of GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase B (GMPPB), a key unit of the GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase (GDP-MP) that catalyzes the formation of GDP-mannose. Impaired GMPPB function will reduce the amount of GDP-mannose available for O-mannosylation. Abnormal O-mannosylation of alpha dystroglycan (α-DG) has been reported to be involved in cancer metastasis and arenavirus entry. Here, we found that GMPPB is highly expressed in a panel of GBM cell lines and clinical samples and that expression of GMPPB is positively correlated with the WHO grade of gliomas. Additionally, expression of GMPPB was negatively correlated with the prognosis of GBM patients. We demonstrate that silencing GMPPB inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GBM cells both in vitro and in vivo and that overexpression of GMPPB exhibits the opposite effects. Consequently, targeting GMPPB in GBM cells results in impaired GBM tumor growth and invasion. Finally, we identify that the Hippo/MMP3 axis is essential for GMPPB-promoted GBM aggressiveness. These findings indicate that GMPPB represents a potential novel target for GBM treatment.

In this Letter, an effective integrated waveform generation method where an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communication signal combined with a linear frequency modulation (LFM) radar signal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a W-band communication and radar detection system. The proposed method can generate communication and radar signals simultaneously. In addition, multiple user communication and multi-target radar detection can be realized. Furthermore, for the OFDM-NOMA signal, discrete Fourier transform (DFT) precoding is used to keep the optimal power ratio consistent on different subcarriers, thus, the communication performance can be effectively improved. The experimental results show that the distance estimation error is 1.2 cm for radar signals. Meanwhile, after transmission over 0.8-m free space, the total aggregate rate for two users with the OFDM-NOMA signal is 3.125 Gb/s under the bit error rate of 8.5 × 10-4.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To determine whether concurrent chemotherapy is necessary during locoregional radiotherapy (RT) after palliative chemotherapy (PCT) in patients with de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (mNPC). METHODS: A total of 746 patients with mNPC from 2000 to 2017 at our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 355 patients received PCT followed by RT. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), including locoregional progression-free survival (LRPFS) and distant progression-free survival (DPFS) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Cox proportional-hazards models, landmark analyses, propensity score matching, and subgroup analyses were used to address confounding. RESULTS: Of the patients included in our study, 192 received radiotherapy alone after PCT (PCT + RT), and 163 received concurrent chemoradiotherapy after PCT (PCT + CCRT). The prognosis of PCT + CCRT was significantly better than that of PCT + RT (5 year OS, 53.0 vs 36.2%; P = 0.004). After matching, the 5 year OS rates of the two groups were 55.7 and 39.0%, respectively (P = 0.034) and the median DPFS were 29.4 and 18.7 months, respectively (P = 0.052). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that PCT + CCRT was an independent favorable prognostic factor (P = 0.009). In addition, conducting concurrent chemoradiotherapy after 4-6 cycles of PCT or conducting concurrent chemotherapy with single-agent platinum was associated with significant survival benefit in the matched cohort (5 year OS rate, 60.4 or 57.4%, respectively). The survival difference between groups remained significant when evaluating patients who survived for ≥ 1 year (P = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: The optimal treatment strategy of mNPC is the combination of PCT followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy. More specifically, concurrent chemoradiotherapy with single-agent platinum after 4-6 cycles of PCT is suggested.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To study the mediating role of working memory between sleep quality and symptoms in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS: The cluster random sampling method was used to select 110 ADHD children and 124 normal children as subjects from grade 3-5 students in two primary schools in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. SNAP-IV, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and visual-spatial working memory paradigm were used for investigation and comparison. RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, the ADHD group had a significantly higher total score of PSQI and scores of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, and a higher incidence of sleep quality problems (P<0.001). The working memory score in the ADHD group was significantly lower than that in the normal group (P<0.001). In the ADHD group, the working memory score was negatively correlated with the total score of PSQI (rs=-0.271, P<0.001) and the score of symptoms (rs=-0.439, P<0.001), and the total score of PSQI was positively correlated with the score of symptoms (rs=0.540, P<0.001). Working memory had a partial mediating effect in the influence of sleep quality on symptoms in children with ADHD, accounting for 18.10% of the total effect. CONCLUSIONS: Sleep quality issues are observed in some children with ADHD, and working memory plays a mediating role between sleep quality and symptoms in ADHD children.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of developing autoimmune disease in patients diagnosed having recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) through a nationwide population-based cohort study. METHODS: This study included two group of patients who had three or more episodes with aphthae diagnosed from their physician (RAS group) and a similar matched group of patients without aphthae (control group). Both groups were collected within the period of 2005-2007 from the Korean National Health Insurances claims database. Non-RAS cohort was matched after frequency matching. The final enrolled subjects were observed during a follow-up period from 2008 to 2015 and those who received autoimmune diseases diagnoses during follow-up were identified. The hazard ratio (HR) for developing autoimmune diseases was estimated. RESULTS: A total of 4,637 patients with RAS and 4,637 controls were included. The risk of overall autoimmune diseases was significantly increased in the RAS group (adjusted HR [aHR)], 1.19). With regard to each disease entity, patients with RAS showed an increased risk of Behcet's disease (31.16), systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) (1.74), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (1.47), gout (1.47), Hashimoto thyroiditis (1.42), Graves' disease (1.37), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1.19). CONCLUSION: RAS-like lesion may be an early sign of systemic autoimmune disease, as it was associated with an increased risk of Graves' disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, SLE, AS, gout, RA, and Behcet's disease from real-world data.

Ovarian cancer is the malignant tumour of the female reproductive organ with highest mortality rate among all the types of gynaecological tumours. This study investigated the effect of Dioscorea deltoidea leaf extract (DDLE) on OV-90 and CAOV4 ovarian cancer cells. The results demonstrated that DDLE suppresses OV-90 and CAOV3 cell viability significantly in dose dependent manner. The OV-90 and CAOV3 cell viability were reduced to 24 and 27% respectively with 20 mg/mL DDLE treatment. Five mg/mL DDLE treatment of OV-90 and CAOV4 cells raised percentage of cells in G2-phase to 55.9 and 51.2%, respectively. In 5 mg/mL DDLE -treated OV-90 and CAOV4 cells a prominent suppression in cyclin-D1 and cyclin B1 proteins was observed in 48 h. The DDLE treatment promoted OV-90 and CAOV3 cell apoptosis to 34.65 and 29.89%, respectively. The Fas, FasL, cleaved caspase-3, and Bax levels were up-regulated markedly in the cells after DDLE treatment. Moreover, DDLE treatment suppressed p-mTOR, p-AKT and p-PI3K expression in OV-90 and CAOV3 cells. Thus, DDLE suppressed ovary cancer cell viability and elevated cell apoptosis. Inhibitory effect of DDLE on ovarian cancer cells is associated with targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.
