RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Considerable studies show that ETS variant 4 (ETV4) plays an important roles in multitudinous tumor. This study investigated its function in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) progression and revealed the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The expression of ETV4 in CCA was evaluated using TCGA database and the single-cell analysis based on GSE189903 dataset. ETV4 expression in CCA human specimens was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blot. Cell Counting Kit-8, EdU, colony formation, wound healing, and Transwell assays were used to analyze the effects of ETV4. Extracellular acidification rate, oxygen consumption rate, glucose uptake, and lactate production were used to measure glycolysis in CAA cells. Western blot was performed to explore glycolysis-related proteins. Tumor growth was evaluated in mice xenograft tumors. RESULTS: ETV4 was up-regulated in CCA epithelial cells. The high-expression of ETV4 was associated with poor prognosis of patients with CCA. ETV4 overexpression enhanced the proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis of CCA cells; ETV4 silencing led to the contrary effects. Mechanistically, ETV4 activates TGF-ß/Smad2/3 signaling pathway. In mice xenograft mode, ETV4 silencing inhibits the tumor growth, the expression of glycolysis-related proteins and TGF-ß/Smad2/3 pathway proteins. CONCLUSIONS: ETV4 functions as an essential factor in the roles of TGF-ß1 in CCA cells, and may be a promising target for TGF-ß1-mediated CCA progression.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Exosomes assume a pivotal role as essential mediators of intercellular communication within tumor microenvironments. Within this context, long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been observed to be preferentially sorted into exosomes, thus exerting regulatory control over the initiation and progression of cancer through diverse mechanisms. RESULTS: Exosomes were successfully isolated from cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) CTCs organoid and healthy human serum. Notably, the LncRNA titin-antisense RNA1 (TTN-AS1) exhibited a conspicuous up-regulation within CCA CTCs organoid derived exosomes. Furthermore, a significant elevation of TTN-AS1 expression was observed in tumor tissues, as well as in blood and serum exosomes from patients afflicted with CCA. Importantly, this hightened TTN-AS1 expression in serum exosomes of CCA patients manifested a strong correlation with both lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. Remarkably, both CCA CTCs organoid-derived exosomes and CCA cells-derived exosomes featuring pronounced TTN-AS1 expression demonstrated the capability to the proliferation and migratory potential of CCA cells. Validation of these outcomes was conducted in vivo experiments. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, our study elucidating that CCA CTCs-derived exosomes possess the capacity to bolster the metastasis tendencies of CCA cells by transporting TTN-AS1. These observations underscore the potential of TTN-AS1 within CTCs-derived exosomes to serve as a promising biomarker for the diagnosis and therapeutic management of CCA.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the effect of 3-deazaadenosine (3-DAA), an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification inhibitor, on the replication of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Methods Neuro2a mouse neuroblastoma cells, N9 mouse microglial cells, and BHK baby hamster kidney cells were exposed to JEV and then treated with 3-DAA. JEV was also injected into the footpad of adult C57BL/6 mice, which were then administered 3-DAA intraperitoneally. Real-time quantitative PCR was utilized to measure mRNA expression levels of JEV, interleukin 1ß (IL-1ß), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), arginase 1 (Arg1), interferon (IFN)-α, IFN-ß, IFN-γ, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) in the cells and mouse brain tissues. Western blot analysis was used to detect JEV protein expression in the cells and mouse brain tissues. Furthermore, the survival of the mice was monitored and pathological changes in mouse brains were observed via hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Results 3-DAA had a dose-dependent effect on the replication of RNA and protein expression of JEV in both BHK, N9, Neuro 2α cells and mouse brain tissues, which resulted in rapid progression of JEV infection in mice and a decrease in their survival rate. Furthermore, 3-DAA suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors such as IL-6, TNF-α, CXCL10, IL-1ß and iNOS, thus weakening the immune response. Conclusion 3-DAA promotes JEV infection and hastens death of infected cells and mice, indicating that m6A modification may negatively regulate JEV replication.

RESUMEN

Ruminants are essential for global food security, but these are major sources of the greenhouse gas methane. Methane yield is controlled by the cycling of molecular hydrogen (H2), which is produced during carbohydrate fermentation and is consumed by methanogenic, acetogenic, and respiratory microorganisms. However, we lack a holistic understanding of the mediators and pathways of H2 metabolism and how this varies between ruminants with different methane-emitting phenotypes. Here, we used metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, metabolomics, and biochemical approaches to compare H2 cycling and reductant disposal pathways between low-methane-emitting Holstein and high-methane-emitting Jersey dairy cattle. The Holstein rumen microbiota had a greater capacity for reductant disposal via electron transfer for amino acid synthesis and propionate production, catalyzed by enzymes such as glutamate synthase and lactate dehydrogenase, and expressed uptake [NiFe]-hydrogenases to use H2 to support sulfate and nitrate respiration, leading to enhanced coupling of H2 cycling with less expelled methane. The Jersey rumen microbiome had a greater proportion of reductant disposal via H2 production catalyzed by fermentative hydrogenases encoded by Clostridia, with H2 mainly taken up through methanogenesis via methanogenic [NiFe]-hydrogenases and acetogenesis via [FeFe]-hydrogenases, resulting in enhanced methane and acetate production. Such enhancement of electron incorporation for metabolite synthesis with reduced methanogenesis was further supported by two in vitro measurements of microbiome activities, metabolites, and public global microbiome data of low- and high-methane-emitting beef cattle and sheep. Overall, this study highlights the importance of promoting alternative H2 consumption and reductant disposal pathways for synthesizing host-beneficial metabolites and reducing methane production in ruminants.
