RESUMO

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) appear to be the crucial modulators in various processes and critically influence the oncogenesis. As one of the LncRNAs, LncRNA CCAT1 has been reported to be closely associated with the progression multiple cancers, but its role in modulating the radioresistance of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. In our present study, we screened the potential radioresistance related LncRNAs in LUAD based on the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Data suggested that CCAT1 was abundantly expressed in LUAD and CCAT1 was significantly associated with poor prognosis and radioresistance. Moreover, our in vitro experiments showed that radiation treatment could trigger elevated expression of CCAT1 in the human LUAD cell lines. Further loss/gain-of-function investigations indicated that CCAT1 knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration and promoted cell apoptosis in NCI-H1299 cells under irradiation, whereas CCAT1 overexpression in A549 cells yield the opposite effects. In summary, we identified the promoting role of CCAT1 in radioresistance of LUAD, which may provide a theoretical basis for radiotherapy sensitization of LUAD.

RESUMO

Arginine is one of the human nonessential amino acids critical for the growth of human cancers. The aim of this study is to investigate the variation of arginine between breast cancer (BC) patients and benign mammary gland disease (control) patients to determine its value in predicting the risk of BC. We also explore the associations between arginine levels and breast cancer subtypes. Preoperative blood samples were obtained from 267 patients (102 BC and 165 controls) in 2015. Plasma arginine values were determined for all preoperative blood samples using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to analyse differences in arginine levels between BC patients and control patients and the correlations between arginine and clinicopathologic parameters in BC. The arginine levels of BC patients were significantly lower than those of control patients (5.96 [3.76-12.47] vs. 12.54 [7.14-24.94], P = 0.000). The area under the curve (AUC) for arginine was 0.721 (95% CI, 0.660-0.782, P < 0.0001). The concentration of arginine was significantly different among different molecular BC subtypes (P = 0.030). Our results suggested that plasma arginine was associated with breast cancer molecular subtypes. © 2016 IUBMB Life, 68(12):980-984, 2016.

RESUMO

Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. Arginine is a semiessential amino acid in humans and is essential for several biological pathways in malignant and normal cells, such as ornithine and N1, N12-diacetylspermine (DiAcSpm). This study aimed to determine the role of arginine and these downstream molecules in BC. Plasma arginine, ornithine, and arginine-to-ornithine ratio (AOR) were analysed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Urine samples were measured by the colloid gold aggregation to test determination of urinary diAcSpm. A principal component analysis was performed to evaluate the results observed between breast tumor and control characteristics. Differences in individual metabolite concentrations between BC patients and controls were tested by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses. Student's t tests were used to detect the differences between two groups of normally distributed variables, and Wilcoxon sign rank tests were performed for asymmetrically distributed variables. As we analyzed, BC patients had lower plasma arginine and arginine/ornithine level, and higher plasma ornithine and urinary DiAcSpm concentrations as compared with control patients (P = 0.028, 0.020, 0.002, and 0.011, respectively). And the ROC curve was drawn and the area under the curve of the metabolites was calculated to be 0.659 (P = 0.028), 0.645 (P = 0.045), 0.7233 (P = 0.002), 0.683 (P = 0.011), respectively. In addition, our analysis showed that arginine concentrations and AOR had a positive correlation with ER status, while ornithine had a negative correlation with T stage (P = 0.042, 0.023, respectively).In conclusion, arginine and these downstream molecules were biomarkers for BC. More studies are needed to highlight the theoretical strengths. © 2016 IUBMB Life, 68(10):817-822, 2016.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND High mobility group-box 3 (HMGB3) has been shown to affect tumor initiation and progression. This research aimed to investigate the role of HMGB3 in gastric cancer (GC) cell proliferation, migration, invasion, chemoresistance, and its potential molecular mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS GC MGC803 and BGC823 cells were transfected with siRNA targeting the HMGB3 gene. The expressions of HMGB3 protein in MGC803 and BGC823 cells after transfection were detected by Western blot assays. We detected cell proliferation and cell cycle by MTT and flow cytometry assay. Cell migration and invasion were determined by wound scratch and transwell assay. MGC803 and BGC823 cells were treated with various concentrations of oxaliplatin, cisplatin, and paclitaxel. After 24 hours of drug exposure, we performed MTT assays to investigate chemoresistance in both groups. Western blot assays were used to detect related proteins expression. RESULTS Silencing of HMGB3 inhibited cell proliferation and induced G0/G1 phase arrest of GC cells partly via modulating p53 and p21 pathways, and downregulating Bcl-2/Bax ratio. RNA interference of HMGB3 inhibited cell invasion and migration by downregulating MMP2 and MMP9. Silencing of HMGB3 enhanced sensitive to cisplatin and paclitaxel, and reduced sensitive to oxaliplatin. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest the importance of HMGB3 in the regulation of growth, migration, and apoptosis of GC, improve our understanding of the mechanisms of GC pathogenesis, and may promote the development of novel targeted therapies.

RESUMO

This study was designed to investigate the correlation between autophagy and polarization of macrophages in atherosclerosis (AS) plaque in arteriosclerosis obliterans amputees. Femoral artery specimens from arteriosclerosis obliterans amputees were performed hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, oil red O and immunofluorescence staining to observe the morphology of atherosclerotic plaque, phenotype of macrophages and autophagy in plaque; using real-time quantitative RT-PCR technology to detect the mRNA level of M1 and M2 type markers in arterial tissue; to analyze polarized signal pathway and autophagy protein levels in macrophages by Western blotting. Arterial specimens staining showed obvious lipid deposition and obvious infiltration of amount of foam cells and inflammatory cells. Macrophages were mainly expression M1 type in percentage in fibrous plaque. Although both M1 and M2 macrophages were upregulated in atheromatous plaque, the increase was dominant in M2 type in percentage. The level of autophagy was significantly higher in the atheromatous plaque than that of fibrous plaque. The expression of tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) mRNA was significantly higher in fibrous plaque than that of atheromatous plaque (P < 0.01 or 0.05), and arginase-1 (Arg-1), transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß), CD163 and interleukin-10 (IL-10) mRNA was significantly lower than that in atheromatous plaque (P < 0.01). The levels of p-STAT1 and NF-κB were significantly increased in fibrous plaque (P < 0.01), while p-STAT6 expression was significantly increased in atheromatous plaque (P < 0.01). The level of LC3-II was significantly higher in atheromatous plaque than that in fibrous plaque (P < 0.01). Macrophages in early atherosclerotic plaque were induced to M1 type through p-STAT1/NF-κB pathway and expressed moderate levels of autophagy; while macrophages in advanced plaques were induced to polarization of M2 type through p-STAT6 pathway. M2 macrophages expressed a higher level of autophagy than M1 macrophages.

RESUMO

Increasing evidence suggests that there is a substantial heritable component including several risk loci and candidate genes for developmental dyslexia (DD). DIP2A has been identified to be partially deleted on chromosome region 21q22.3, which cosegregates with DD. And it fits into a theoretical molecular network of DD implicated in the development of DD. Compared with some DD candidate genes that have been extensively studied (e.g., DYX1C1, DCDC2, KIAA0319, and ROBO1), very little is known about the association between candidate gene DIP2A and DD susceptibility. And given the linguistic and genetic differences between Chinese and other Western populations, it is worthwhile validating the association of DIP2A in Chinese dyslexic children. Here, we investigated two genetic variants, selected by bioinformatics analysis, in DIP2A in a Chinese population with 409 dyslexic cases and 410 healthy controls. We observed a significantly increased DD risk associated with rs2255526 G allele (OR = 1.297, 95% CI = 1.036-1.623, Padjusted = 0.023) and GG genotypes (OR = 1.833, 95% CI = 1.043-3.223, Padjusted = 0.035), compared with their wild-type counterparts. In addition, it was marginally significantly associated with DD under the recessive model (OR = 1.677, 95% CI = 0.967-2.908, Padjusted = 0.066) and the dominant model (OR = 1.314, 95% CI = 0.992-1.741, Padjusted = 0.057). However, we found no evidence of an association of SNP rs16979358 with DD. In conclusion, this study showed that a genetic variant in the DIP2A gene was associated with increased DD risk in China.

RESUMO

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been widely applied in various fields due to its excellent physicochemical properties, but its high production cost remains a challenge. Herein, the present study aimed to utilize the hydrolysate of vinegar residue (VR) as the only medium to realize the cost-effective production of BC. The BC production was optimized by the single-factor test. The treatment of 6 % VR concentration with 3 % acid concentration at 100 °C for 1.5 h and 96 U/mL of cellulase for 4 h at 50 °C obtained a maximum reducing sugar concentration of about 32 g/L. Additionally, the VR hydrolysate treated with 3 % active carbon (AC) at 40 °C for 0.5 h achieved a total phenol removal ratio of 86 %. The yield of BC reached 2.1 g/L under the optimum conditions, which was twice compared to the standard medium. The produced BC was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and TGA analyses, and the results indicated that the BC prepared by AC-treated VR hydrolysate had higher fiber density, higher crystallinity, and good thermal stability. Furthermore, the regenerated BC (RBC) fibers with a tensile stress of 400 MPa were prepared successfully using AmimCl solution as a solvent by dry-wet-spinning method. Overall, the VR waste could be used as an alternative carbon source for the sustainable production of BC, which could be further applied to RBC fibers preparation.

RESUMO

Bumblebees are a genus of pollinators (Bombus) that play important roles in natural ecosystem and agricultural production. Several bumblebee species have been recorded as under population decline, and the proportion of species experiencing population decline within subgenus Thoracobombus is higher than average. Bombus opulentus is 1 species in Thoracobombus, but little is known about its recent population dynamics. Here, we employed conservation genomics methods to investigate the population dynamics of B. opulentus during the recent past and identify the likely environmental factors that may cause population decline. Firstly, we placed the scaffold-level of B. opulentus reference genome sequence onto chromosome-level using Hi-C technique. Then, based on this reference genome and whole-genome resequencing data for 51 B. opulentus samples, we reconstructed the population structure and effective population size (Ne ) trajectories of B. opulentus and identified genes that were under positive selection. Our results revealed that the collected B. opulentus samples could be divided into 2 populations, and 1 of them experienced a recent population decline; the declining population also exhibited lower genetic diversity and higher inbreeding levels. Genes related to high-temperature tolerance, immune response, and detoxication showed signals of positive selection in the declining population, suggesting that climate warming and pathogen/pesticide exposures may contribute to the decline of this B. opulentus population. Taken together, our study provided insights into the demography of B. opulentus populations and highlighted that populations of the same bumblebee species could have contrasting Ne trajectories and population decline could be caused by a combination of various stressors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with a dismal prognosis. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to induce antitumor activity in AML patients has yielded mixed results. Despite the pivotal role of B cells in antitumor immunity, a comprehensive assessment of B lymphocytes within AML's immunological microenvironment along with their interaction with ICB remains rather constrained. METHODS: We performed an extensive analysis that involved paired single-cell RNA and B-cell receptor (BCR) sequencing on 52 bone marrow aspirate samples. These samples included 6 from healthy bone marrow donors (normal), 24 from newly diagnosed AML patients (NewlyDx), and 22 from 8 relapsed or refractory AML patients (RelRef), who underwent assessment both before and after azacitidine/nivolumab treatment. RESULTS: We delineated nine distinct subtypes of B cell lineage in the bone marrow. AML patients exhibited reduced nascent B cell subgroups but increased differentiated B cells compared with healthy controls. The limited diversity of BCR profiles and extensive somatic hypermutation indicated antigen-driven affinity maturation within the tumor microenvironment of RelRef patients. We established a strong connection between the activation or stress status of naïve and memory B cells, as indicated by AP-1 activity, and their differentiation state. Remarkably, atypical memory B cells functioned as specialized antigen-presenting cells closely interacting with AML malignant cells, correlating with AML stemness and worse clinical outcomes. In the AML microenvironment, plasma cells demonstrated advanced differentiation and heightened activity. Notably, the clinical response to ICB was associated with B cell clonal expansion and plasma cell function. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings establish a comprehensive framework for profiling the phenotypic diversity of the B cell lineage in AML patients, while also assessing the implications of immunotherapy. This will serve as a valuable guide for future inquiries into AML treatment strategies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Enhancers are regulatory elements that target and modulate gene expression and play a role in human health and disease. However, the roles of enhancer regulatory circuit abnormalities driven by epigenetic alterations in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are unclear. METHODS: In this study, a multiomic integrative analysis was performed to map enhancer and chromatin accessibility landscapes and identify regulatory network abnormalities in AD. We identified differentially methylated enhancers and constructed regulatory networks across brain regions using AD brain tissue samples. Through the integration of snATAC-seq and snRNA-seq datasets, we mapped enhancers with DNA methylation alterations (DMA) and chromatin accessibility landscapes. Core regulatory triplets that contributed to AD neuropathology in specific cell types were further prioritized. RESULTS: We revealed widespread DNA methylation alterations (DMA) in the enhancers of AD patients across different brain regions. In addition, the genome-wide transcription factor (TF) binding profiles showed that enhancers with DMA are pervasively regulated by TFs. The TF-enhancer-gene regulatory network analysis identified core regulatory triplets that are associated with brain and immune cell proportions and play important roles in AD pathogenesis. Enhancer regulatory circuits with DMA exhibited distinct chromatin accessibility patterns, which were further characterized at single-cell resolutions. CONCLUSIONS: Our study comprehensively investigated DNA methylation-mediated regulatory circuit abnormalities and provided novel insights into the potential pathogenesis of AD.

RESUMO

Up to now, only a small portion of Si has been utilized in the anode for commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) despite its high energy density. The main challenge of using micron-sized Si anode is the particle crack and pulverization due to the volume expansion during cycling. This work proposes a type of Si-based high-entropy alloy (HEA) materials with high structural stability for the LIB anode. Micron-sized HEA-Si anode can deliver a capacity of 971 mAhg-1 and retains 93.5% of its capacity after 100 cycles. In contrast, the silicon-germanium anode only retains 15% of its capacity after 20 cycles. This study has discovered that including HEA elements in Si-based anode can decrease its anisotropic stress and consequently enhance ductility at discharged state. By utilizing in situ X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses, a high-entropy transition metal doped Lix (Si/Ge) phase is found at lithiated anode, which returns to the pristine HEA phase after delithiation. The reversible lithiation and delithiation process between the HEA phases leads to intrinsic stability during cycling. These findings suggest that incorporating high-entropy modification is a promising approach in designing anode materials toward high-energy density LIBs.

RESUMO

Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is a critical cytokine known for its diverse roles in immune regulation, inflammation, and tumor surveillance. However, while IFNγ levels were elevated in sera of most newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, its complex interplay in AML remains insufficiently understood. We aim to characterize these complex interactions through comprehensive bulk and single-cell approaches in bone marrow of newly diagnosed AML patients. We identify monocytic AML as having a unique microenvironment characterized by IFNγ producing T and NK cells, high IFNγ signaling, and immunosuppressive features. IFNγ signaling score strongly correlates with venetoclax resistance in primary AML patient cells. Additionally, IFNγ treatment of primary AML patient cells increased venetoclax resistance. Lastly, a parsimonious 47-gene IFNγ score demonstrates robust prognostic value. In summary, our findings suggest that inhibiting IFNγ is a potential treatment strategy to overcoming venetoclax resistance and immune evasion in AML patients.

RESUMO

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium that causes melioidosis, a life-threatening disease. The interaction of B. pseudomallei with its host is complicated, and cellular response to B. pseudomallei infection is still largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to determine host-cell responses to B. pseudomallei at the proteomics level. We performed proteomic profiling of B. pseudomallei HNBP001-infected mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells to characterize the cellular response dynamics during infection. Western blot analysis was utilized for the validation of changes in protein expression. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were conducted using the clusterProfiler R package. Compared with the negative control (NC) group, 811 common proteins varied over time, with a cut-off level of two fold change and an adjusted P-value less than 0.05. The bioinformatics analysis revealed that the proteins significantly changed in the B. pseudomallei HNBP001 infection group (Bp group) were enriched in glycometabolism pathways, including glycolysis, fructose and mannose metabolism, pentose phosphate pathway, galactose metabolism, and carbon metabolism. Western blot analysis verified three selected proteins involved in glycometabolism pathways, namely PGM1, PKM, and PGK1 were increase over time post the infection. Furthermore, in vitro functional analysis revealed an increased glucose uptake and decreased ATP production and O-GlcNAcylation in the Bp group compared with control group, suggesting that B. pseudomallei HNBP001 infection induces changes in glycometabolism in RAW264.7 cells. These results indicate that glycometabolism pathways change in RAW264.7 cells post B. pseudomallei HNBP001 infection, providing important insights into the intimate interaction between B. pseudomallei and macrophages.

RESUMO

This paper introduced the research ideas and methods for the development of the national standard, "Pure moxa stick". According to the orientation of product standard and related documents, on the basis of extensive investigation and in consultation with manufacturers and experts, the problems encountered in this standard development were solved. The general technical requirements were specified in association with the basic experimental data. The technical requirements should not only conform to the current technological status of moxa sticks production, but also present a certain of innovation. The innovation of this standard lies in the concepts of the ratio of leaves to floss, the ratio of whole plant to floss, density, etc. Besides, the main technical requirements of "Pure moxa stick" have been specified, i.e. material, shape and structure, combustion characteristics, physical and chemical characteristics. The development of national standard "Pure moxa stick" contributes to the favorable exploration and practice of the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine and provides the effective reference for the further stan-dardization of acupuncture and moxibustion.

RESUMO

In this article, two novel amide alkaloids were identified as (E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(5-hydroxy-6-((3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)-1H-indol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (1) and (E)-1-(5-hydroxy-6-((3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)-1H-indol-1-yl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (2), the two compounds were named oleraindole E and oleraindole F, respectively. The structures were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-TOF-MS spectra. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated on RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited anti-inflammatory activities at 20 µM.
