RESUMO

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynaecological malignancies with poor prognosis and lack of effective treatment. The improvement of the situation of ovarian cancer urgently requires the exploration of its molecular mechanism to develop more effective molecular targeted drugs. In this study, the role of human ribosomal protein l35a (RPL35A) in ovarian cancer was explored in vitro and in vivo. Our data identified that RPL35A expression was abnormally elevated in ovarian cancer. Clinically, high expression of RPL35A predicted short survival and poor TNM staging in patients with ovarian cancer. Functionally, RPL35A knock down inhibited ovarian cancer cell proliferation and migration, enhanced apoptosis, while overexpression had the opposite effect. Mechanically, RPL35A promoted the direct binding of transcription factor YY1 to CTCF in ovarian cancer cells. Consistently, RPL35A regulated ovarian cancer progression depending on CTCF in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, RPL35A affected the proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells through PPAR signalling pathway. In conclusion, RPL35A drove ovarian cancer progression by promoting the binding of YY1 and CTCF promoter, and inhibiting this process may be an effective strategy for targeted therapy of this disease.

RESUMO

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies in developed countries worldwide. The treatment of recurrent endometrial cancer is a very difficult problem in clinical work. Studies on patients with recurrent EC microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) are very rare. The objective of this study is to initially evaluate the therapeutic effect of a PD-1 inhibitor combined with antiangiogenic agents in the treatment of recurrent MSI-H endometrial cancer. Methods: Eight patients with recurrent MSI-H endometrial cancer were recruited from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from July 2019 to July 2021, and their median age was 55.3 (range, 46-62) years. All patients experienced recurrence after surgical treatment, and the median recurrence and metastasis time was 6.6 (range, 4-10) months. The pathological types were all endometrioid carcinomas. PD-1 inhibitors were selected from camrelizumab or pembrolizumab, and antiangiogenic targeted agents were selected from apatinib or anlotinib. Results: The median follow-up time was 11.0 (range, 5-19) months. In the case series, all 8 cases could be evaluated for curative effect with complete response in 4 cases and partial response in 4 cases. The overall objective response rate was 100%. Conclusions: PD-1 inhibitors combined with antiangiogenic agents may have good therapeutic effects on patients with recurrent MSI-H endometrial cancer and may become an important method for the treatment of recurrent endometrial cancer in the future.

RESUMO

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the gynecological tumor with the highest incidence. In recent years, it has been proved that necroptosis is a method of cell death related to EC. However, the expression of necroptosis-related miRNA in EC and its correlation with prognosis still ill-defined. Use the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort to obtain prognostic data and related clinical data for ECs and normal endometrium tissues. In this study, we identified three necroptotic regulatory miRNAs that are necroptosis-related and survival-related miRNAs (DENSMs) between normal endometrium tissues and EC from 13 necroptosis-related miRNAs. The three DENSMs signature was built to develop prognostic model and classified all EC patients into a high or low risk group. EC patients in the low-risk group showed significantly higher survival possibilities than those in the high-risk group (p = 0.0242), and the risk score was found to be an independent prognosis factor for predicting the OS of EC patients (p = 0.0254) in multivariate Cox regression. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed dephosphorylation, microtubule, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway are closely related to it. In conclusion, the risk prediction model based on necroptosis-related miRNAs can effectively predict the prognosis of EC patients.

RESUMO

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a malignant tumor that seriously affects women's health. In recent years, immunotherapy has shown great potential in tumor treatment. As a major contributor of immunotherapy, dendritic cells (DCs) - based tumor vaccine has been demonstrated to have a positive effect in inducing immune responses in animal experiments. However, the effect of tumor vaccines in clinical trials is not ideal. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the existing tumor vaccines for tumor treatment. Here, we developed a fusion cell membrane (FCM) nano-vaccine FCM-NPs, which is prepared by fusing DCs and OC cells and coating the FCM on the poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with the immune adjuvant CpG-oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN). The fusion process promoted the maturation of DCs, thus up-regulating the expression of costimulatory molecule CD80/CD86 and accelerating lymph node homing of DCs. Furthermore, FCM-NPs has both the immunogenicity of tumor cells and the antigen presenting ability of DCs, it can stimulate naive T lymphocytes to produce a large number of tumor-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes. FCM-NPs exhibited strong immuno-activating effect both in vitro and in vivo. By establishing subcutaneous transplanted tumor model, patient-derived xenograft tumor model and abdominal metastatic tumor model, FCM-NPs was proved to have the effect of delaying the growth and inhibiting the metastasis of OC. FCM-NPs is expected to become a new tumor vaccine for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to detect the expression of local cytokines in cervical mucosa between patients with transient and persistent HR-HPV infection with or without CIN. METHODOLOGY: A total of 150 patients who were diagnosed as HR-HPV infection in Tianjin Central Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology from January 2016 to December 2016 were included in this study. The expression levels of 9 cytokines in 150 patients with HR-HPV infection, including interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-12p70, IL-21, interferon (IFN)-γ and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, were simultaneously measured by using a multiplex immunoassay. Moreover, HR-HPV genotype was performed by using pyrosequencing. The association between cytokines and HPV genotype was also investigated. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference in IL-1ß level between patients with HPV transient infection and HPV persistent infection (p = 0.041). There were statistically significant differences in the levels of IL-1ß, IL-10, IL-21 and TNF-α between patients with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (p = 0.011, p = 0.008, p = 0.046 and p = 0.019, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1ß and TNF-α, and Th2 type cytokines, IL-10 and IL-21, became stronger in cervical mucosa with the progression of CIN. IL-1ß may be advantageous for HR-HPV persistent infection.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Prostatic stromal tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) is a rare disease that may coexist with prostate stromal sarcoma (PSS). We aimed to analyze the histological and clinical features of STUMP. METHODS: Twenty-three patients diagnosed with STUMP from 2008 to 2019 were included. Clinicopathological and follow-up information was collected. In the subgroup analysis, we divided the patients into a pure STUMP group (N = 18) and a mixed STUMP (STUMP coexisting with PSS) group (N = 5). Student's t test was used to compare the 2 groups. RESULTS: Patients had a mean age of 55.5 ± 19.4 years and an average follow-up time of 42.3 months. The mean prostate volume was 109.2 ± 73.5 cm3, and the mean prostate-specific antigen was 8.03 ± 10.5 ng/mL. In the subgroup analysis, 16.7% (2/12) of pure STUMP patients had disease progression, while 100% (3/3) of mixed STUMP patients suffered from recurrence. Compared with the pure STUMP group, the mixed STUMP group was younger (37.2 vs. 60.6 years, p = 0.013) and had lower expression of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor (p = 0.004 and p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION: STUMP is a rare disease with a relatively good prognosis. However, there is still a possibility of disease progression or coexistence with stromal sarcoma. Timely diagnosis and regular monitoring may be helpful in improving treatment outcomes.

RESUMO

Inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines have been implicated in the progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a proinflammatory cytokine. Our previous study found that MIF is highly expressed in BPH epithelium. It has been reported that there is a correlation between MIF and clinical BPH progression. However, whether MIF has an effect on BPH epithelial cells is not clear. The aim of this study was to explore whether MIF has a role in BPH. Our results showed that immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed that MIF is highly expressed in the epithelium and that MIF and PCNA expression levels are higher in BPH samples than in control. CCK8 and flow cytometry assays showed that recombinant human MIF (rMIF) promoted the proliferation of BPH-1 and PWR-1E cells, while ISO-1 partially reversed this effect on proliferation. JC-1 assays showed that rMIF inhibited the apoptosis of BPH-1 and PWR-1E cells, and ISO-1 could partially reverse this inhibition. Moreover, western blotting indicated that rMIF downregulated P53 and upregulated COX-2. Furthermore, MIF-induced proliferation could be inhibited by celecoxib in the CCK8 and flow cytometry assay. MIF-inhibited apoptosis could be partially reversed by celecoxib in the JC-1 assay. Western blotting showed that celecoxib could partially reverse MIF-induced COX-2 upregulation and P53 downregulation. Together, MIF is highly expressed in BPH epithelium. In vitro, MIF promoted BPH epithelial cell growth by regulating COX-2 and P53 signaling. Targeting MIF may provide a new option for the improved treatment of BPH in the future.

RESUMO

In this study, a new method was proposed to study the relaxation properties of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) fabric under axial tension. Under the condition of constant temperature and humidity, six groups of 168 h stress relaxation tests were conducted. Considering the influence of the prestress level, the size of CFRP cloth, and the surface coating of CFRP cloth on the relaxation performance, the measures to reduce the relaxation loss were proposed. The relaxation rate calculation model was established based on the test results of the authors and other scholars and was validated through comparisons with the test results. The results indicate that the relaxation rate of CFRP cloth was between 1.92% and 6.1%. When the prestress level was smaller than 0.3 fu, the relaxation rate of CFRP cloth decreased with the increase of prestress level. When the prestress level was greater than 0.3 fu, the relaxation rate increased with the increase of the prestress level. Under the same conditions, the relaxation rate of the CFRP specimens coated with glue was smaller than the uncoated samples by 3.21-6.28%. The calculation model could well estimate the relaxation rate of CFRP cloth.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Many studies have reported the prognostic significance of the bone scan index (BSI) for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC); however, these reports are controversial. This study investigated the BSI in mCRPC and its relationship with prognosis. METHODS: The PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched systematically for relevant articles published before September 1, 2019. Hazard ratios (HRs) were used to investigate the prognostic value. RESULTS: This study finally identified 9 eligible studies. The results suggested that high baseline BSI predicted poor OS (HR = 1.331, 95% CI: 1.081-1.640) and that elevated ΔBSI also predicted poor OS (HR = 1.220, 95% CI: 1.015-1.467). The subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity showed that the baseline BSI and ΔBSI predicted poor OS in the Asian population but not in the Caucasian population. We also performed a subgroup analysis based on the different cut-off values of baseline BSI. The subgroup of ≤1 showed a significant association with OS in mCRPC patients. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that high baseline BSI and elevated ΔBSI predicted poor OS in patients with mCRPC. Hence, the BSI can serve as a prognostic indicator for mCRPC patients and may therefore guide clinical treatment in the future.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The independent prognostic role of squamous differentiation in pT1 bladder urothelial carcinoma has not been reported in previous studies. This article describes the impact of squamous differentiation on tumor recurrence and survival, and whether this histologic variant could indeed alter definitive treatment, based on single center-based retrospective data. METHODS: Totally, we retrieved (1)1449 histologically confirmed pT1 bladder urothelial carcinoma patients without histologic variants; (2)227 pT1 bladder urothelial carcinoma patients with squamous differentiation in our institution, from May 2004 to Oct 2015. The total amount of high/low grade urothelial carcinoma patients was 991/685 respectively. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and intravesical chemotherapy were performed as initial treatments for all the patients. The clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment and survival outcomes were compared between squamous differentiation-positive and squamous differentiation-negative patients. RESULTS: In our study, 14% urothelial carcinoma patients were detected with squamous differentiation. The mean age of all the patients examined was 66.4, of whom 82% were males. The 5-year cancer specific survival rates were 69% for squamous differentiation-positive patients and 91% for squamous differentiation-negative patients (p < 0.001). Recurrence proved to be more common in squamous differentiation-positive patients than in negative patients. In the results of the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, tumor size, lymphovascular invasion, recurrence and squamous differentiation were confirmed to be the prognostic factors associated with patients' survival. CONCLUSIONS: Squamous differentiation in pT1 bladder urothelial carcinoma is correlated to high risk of recurrence and poor prognosis as an independent prognostic factor. Radical cystectomy is essential for recurred high grade pT1 bladder urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation accompanied by lymphovascular invasion.

RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to observe the dynamic changes of proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase, Pim-1 at the gene and protein level in a mouse model of prostate cancer following surgical castration. Using LNCaP cells to establish a subcutaneous xenograft model and orthotopic prostate cancer BALB/c nude mouse models, the xenograft models were divided into an androgen-dependent prostate cancer group (ADPC), an androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) group and an androgen independent prostate cancer (AIPC) group. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), RT-quantitative PCR, ELISA and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed to compare the expression levels of Pim-1, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and androgen receptor (AR) in tumor tissue of three subgroups. Agarose gel electrophoresis revealed that the RT-PCR results of the ADPC (0.59±0.01) and AIPC groups (1.14±0.015) were significantly different when compared with the ADT group (0.62±0.026; P<0.05). As for RT-qPCR, the ΔCq of Pim-1 in the ADPC (6.15±0.34) and AIPC (4.56±0.23) groups were significantly different compared with the ADT group (5.11±0.21; P<0.05). Using 2-ΔΔCq as a relative quantification method to analyze the data, the amplification products of Pim-1 increased by 2.05 and 3.01 times in the ADT and AIPC groups, respectively. ELISA demonstrated the following: The serum concentration of PSA was 0 ng/ml in the control group, 0.48±0.025 ng/ml in the ADPC group and 0.87±0.023 ng/ml in the AIPC group, which were significantly different compared with the ADT group (0.17±0.032 ng/ml; P<0.01). Upon immunohistochemical staining, the protein expression levels of Pim-1 and AR, respectively, were 0.017±0.0021 and 0.032±0.009 in the ADPC group, 0.024±0.0019 and 0.040±0.011 in the AIPC group, and 0.018±0.0013 and 0.019±0.006 in the ADT group. The protein levels of Pim-1 and AR in the ADPC and AIPC groups were significantly different compared with the ADT group (P<0.01). In addition, an orthotopic prostate cancer animal model of ADT was successfully established in the current study, and further investigation revealed that ADT did not affect the expression of Pim-1 at the gene or protein levels; thus, it is hypothesized that Pim-1 may be important in the proliferation and differentiation of prostate cancer during ADT.

RESUMO

Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is the primary and essential step in the systemic dissemination of cancer cells. The aim of our study was to assess the independent prognostic role of LVI for pT1 urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation in bladder cancer. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological information of 206 patients diagnosed pT1 urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation. Of the 206 patients, LVI was detected in 57 (27.6%) patients. The 5 year cancer specific survival (CSS) rates were 87.2% in LVI (-) and 52.4% in LVI (+) (p < 0.001). According to univariate analysis, tumor multiplicity, tumor size, recurrence and LVI were the prognostic factors associated with CSS. Additionally, tumor size and LVI significantly influenced the CSS in multivariate analysis. TURBT had shorter median CSS than RC in recurred patients with LVI (+). Our study suggested that LVI is an important predictor for survival of pT1 urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation. LVI positive status and tumor size ≥3 cm led to a higher risk of death. RC should be routinely performed in recurred LVI (+) bladder cancer patients of pT1 urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation.

RESUMO

Malignant renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is rare, and currently there is no malignant criteria for its pathological diagnosis. In the present study, the case of a patient who suffered malignant renal EAML and underwent nephrectomy is reported. The histological patterns of the tumor were composed of sheets or nests of large polygonal epithelioid cells and thick-walled blood vessels, with clear mitoses. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the epithelioid and smooth muscle cells characteristically expressed human melanoma black-45, epithelial membrane antigen and actin. Pathological evaluation revealed malignant EAML with regional lymph node metastases. Magnetic resonance imaging and X-ray examination identified multiple liver and lung nodules at 16 months post-surgery. Since the patient did not respond to the initial treatment with doxorubicin and cisplatin, sorafenib was subsequently administered. However, the treatment was not effective, and the patient succumbed to multiple metastases six months later.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Malignant triton tumor (MTT) is a rare and histological complexity characterized by a mixture of peripheral nerve sheath tumors and with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. It follows a particularly malignant course. CASE PRESENTATION: In the present study, we report the first MTT of epididymis. The patient is a 22-year-old male presented with swelling in the left scrotum over a 2-month period. He did not have the history or symptoms of neurofibromatosis type 1. A mass measured about 3 cm × 4 cm was found in the left epididymis by ultrasound and CT scan. It was diagnosed as epididymis tumor and underwent exploration; intraoperative frozen section was diagnosed malignant tumor and treated with radical orchidoepididymectomy. The pathological report was malignant triton tumor. Despite taken high-dose radiation therapy and followed by chemotherapy for four cycles, he was died of progressive disease with multiple metastases 26 months after surgery. The clinic pathologic characteristics and optimal treatment strategy are reviewed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In most documented literature, metanephric adenoma (MA) is described as a benign tumour. Nevertheless, the nature of MA remains unclear and the clinical criteria of different MA subtypes are not well established. In the present study, we investigated the clinicopathological characteristics of MA, especially those of the uncommon histological subtypes. METHODS: A cohort study was performed on 18 patients with pathologically proven MA in our institute from January 2004 to June 2014. The patients' clinicopathological and radiological data were retrospectively analysed and evaluated with an emphasis on the corresponding subtypes. RESULTS: The patient population had a female: male ratio of 1:1 and mean age of 50 years (range, 18-66 years). The mean tumour size was 3.9 cm (range, 1.4-9.0 cm). There were no pathognomonic radiological features that posed a challenge for a preoperative diagnosis of MA. Fourteen patients underwent radical nephrectomy, and the other four underwent partial nephrectomy. Three histological subtypes were observed: classic MA (n = 10), malignant MA (n = 2), and composite MA with coexistence of different malignant components (n = 6). Despite the presence of atypical histological features and malignant components among the patients, only one patient developed distant metastasis (median postoperative follow-up, 56 months; range, 30-86 months). CONCLUSIONS: MAs are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with different biological characteristics. The correct identification of this entity and its subtypes would facilitate stratification of optimal management protocols and accurate assessment of the prognosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinicopathologic features and survival outcomes of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSCRT). METHODS: The retrospective cohort study was performed on clinical and pathological data of 18 DSCRT patients. Among them, two subgroups were classified according to treatment modalities. 10 cases underwent operation and adjuvant chemotherapy (group 1, 10/18, 55.6%) and 8 cases were diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy without surgical intervention (group 2, 8/18, 44.4%). All cases received six courses of multiple agents chemotherapy. RESULTS: All cases were histologically confirmed as DSRCT and Cox regression revealed that sex, tumor localization and treatment modality affected patient outcomes. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the median survival time was 22.0 ± 4.0 mo in group 1 versus 9.0 ± 0.7 mo in group 2. CONCLUSION: DSRCT is highly aggressive malignance with poor prognosis, surgical excision with combination of chemotherapy can significantly improve the survival outcomes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Eosinophilic cystitis (EC) is a rare disease and remains a poorly understood. We explored the potential etiology, clinical and radiological presentation, diagnosis and therapeutic experience with EC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A pooled ten patients diagnosed with EC were retrospectively studied in our hospital to assess clinical presentation symptoms, radiological and pathological diagnosis, treatment and outcomes between 1998 and 2012. RESULTS: Nine patients presented with irritative urinary symptoms, one was symptomless. Allergic history were found in 2 patients, bladder mass was detected in all by radiologic tests or cystoscopy. Radiology revealed diffuse thickening of bladder wall in 7 cases among which one with bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, solitary tumor-like lesion in other 3. Elevated serum leukocytes were evident in 4 cases while elevated peripheral eosinophilias were observed in 3. One was asymptomatic and without specific therapy (group 1, 10%), transurethral resection of the lesions in one tumor-like case (10%). The other 8 cases were treated with corticosteroid and/or antihistaminics and 5 patients had excellent outcome with symptom resolution (62.5%). CONCLUSIONS: EC usually follows a benign course, most treated with corticosteroids and resulted in relief of symptoms while some may relapse. Surgery is an available choice for drug refractory or localized EC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a relatively rare vascular entity. Treatment of ruptured RAA could be either surgical or via an endovascular route with variable prognosis and remain controversial. To evaluate the results of ruptured renal artery aneurysms treated by endovascular treatment and explore the efficacy of selective embolization in ruptured RAAs, controlling hemorrhage, and preserving renal function. METHODS: From January 2001 to May 2011, 6 patients presented with gross hematuria or sudden onset severe abdominal or flank pain. This included a number in whom the aneurysm leaked, causing hematuria. Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) and contrasted computed tomography (CT) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) demonstrated 6 cases, and all cases were performed emergency angiography and 5 cases treated with selective coil embolization, and one case with trunk artery occlusion. RESULTS: All cases with a follow-up for mean 25 months (range 12-64 months),4 cases with selective coil embolization with complete durable occlusion was achieved in all aneurysms without relapse, patients' renal function was not significantly deteriorated. The case with trunk occlusion underwent subsequent ischemic parenchymal loss and post-embolization syndrome and with mild kidney atrophy. CONCLUSIONS: Superselective coil embolization provides a good therapeutic option for the ruptured RAAs with low mortality rates and good long-term outcome. RAAs have a probability of bilateral and multiple lesions,so attention for the presence of the contralateral RAA is important for medical choice.
