RESUMO

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains challenging due to the lack of efficient therapy. Promoting degradation of certain cancer drivers has become an innovative therapy. The nuclear transcription factor sine oculis homeobox 1 (SIX1) is a key driver for the progression of HCC. Here, we explored the molecular mechanisms of ubiquitination of SIX1 and whether targeting SIX1 degradation might represent a potential strategy for HCC therapy. Through detecting the ubiquitination level of SIX1 in clinical HCC tissues and analyzing TCGA and GEPIA databases, we found that ubiquitin specific peptidase 1 (USP1), a deubiquitinating enzyme, contributed to the lower ubiquitination and high protein level of SIX1 in HCC tissues. In HepG2 and Hep3B cells, activation of EGFR-AKT signaling pathway promoted the expression of USP1 and the stability of its substrates, including SIX1 and ribosomal protein S16 (RPS16). In contrast, suppression of EGFR with gefitinib or knockdown of USP1 restrained EGF-elevated levels of SIX1 and RPS16. We further revealed that SNS-023 (formerly known as BMS-387032) induced degradation of SIX1 and RPS16, whereas this process was reversed by reactivation of EGFR-AKT pathway or overexpression of USP1. Consequently, inactivation of the EGFR-AKT-USP1 axis with SNS-032 led to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and suppression of cell proliferation and migration in HCC. Moreover, we showed that sorafenib combined with SNS-032 or gefitinib synergistically inhibited the growth of Hep3B xenografts in vivo. Overall, we identify that both SIX1 and RPS16 are crucial substrates for the EGFR-AKT-USP1 axis-driven growth of HCC, suggesting a potential anti-HCC strategy from a novel perspective.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hidden blood loss (HBL) often occurs in the prosthetic replacement for joint, but the mechanism is still not clear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study tried to establish an animal model of HBL by injecting arachidonic acid (AA) into the Sprague-Dawley rats. Different concentrations of AA were injected into the tail veins of the rats, and blood samples were collected before and after administration at 24, 48, and 72 h. A complete blood count was obtained by to find the hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cell (RBC) count changes. The glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activities and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels were detected. The morphological changes of erythrocyte were observed under a polarizing microscope. The absorbance values of the blood samples were tested to determine the presence of ferryl Hb. RESULTS: HBL occurred in the experimental groups when the concentration of AA reached 10 mmol/L; Hb and RBC values decreased sharply at 24- and 48-h postinjection. This was followed by reduced activities of GSH-PX and T-SOD and decreased levels of H2O2. Moreover, the pathologic changes of red cell morphology mainly presented as pleomorphic RBC morphology, including cell rupture. The absorbance values of the blood samples were in accordance with ferryl Hb features. RBC and Hb values were relatively stable at 72 h. The GSH-PX and T-SOD activities and H2O2 levels gradually increased up to a balanced state. CONCLUSIONS: The study concluded that high concentrations of AA can induce oxidative stress reactions in the body, causing acute injury of RBCs, which is closely related to HBL.

RESUMO

Four new minor brominated indole related alkaloids (one indoles, 1, one 1,3-dihydro-indole-2-one, 2, one carbazole, 3, and one 2-carbonylamino-benzoate, 4) were isolated and identified from Laurencia similis by extensive chromatographic and spectrometric methods. Among them, 1 and 2 were the first example of naturally occurring indole with 3-benzyl group and 1,3-dihydro-indole-2-one with 2-isopropylidene group, respectively, whereas 3 and 4 were the first carbazole alkaloids and 2-carbonylamino-benzoate, respectively, isolated from the genus Laurencia. Moreover, 1 showed the most potent antibacterial activity against seven bacterial strains with MIC values ranging from 2 to 8µg/mL.

RESUMO

A novel brominated cuparene-derived sesquiterpene ether, 8,10-dibromo-3,7-epoxy-laur-13-ol (1), was isolated from Laurencia sp. collected in South China Sea. Besides this, two known sesquiterpenes, (9ß)-aristol-1(10)-en-9-ol (2) and aristolone (3), were also yielded, and aristolone (3) was obtained from Laurencia for the first time. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Hidden blood loss (HBL), commonly seen after total knee or hip arthroplasty, causes postoperative anemia even after reinfusion or blood transfusion based on the visible blood loss volume. Recent studies demonstrated that oxidative stress might be involved in HBL. However, whether the antioxidants proanthocyanidin (PA) or hydrogen water (HW) can ameliorate HBL remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PA and HW on HBL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A rat HBL model was established through administration of linoleic acid with or without treatment with PA or HW. The levels of hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) count, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), and ferryl Hb were measured. RESULTS: RBC and Hb values as well as the activity of SOD and GSH-PX were reduced after administration of linoleic acid, which was ameliorated by treatment with PA or HW. In addition, the quantity of MDA was significantly decreased with the administration of PA or HW. CONCLUSION: PA and HW could ameliorate HBL in a rat model by reducing oxidative stress, suggesting that they might be used as a novel therapeutic approach in the prophylaxis or treatment of HBL in clinics.
