Expression of glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B in cutaneous malignant and benign lesions: a tissue microarray study

Background  Glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and malignant diseases. We investigated the expression of GPNMB in benign and malignant skin diseases.

Methods  Tissue microarray was performed in the skin tissues of 102 cases including malignant melanoma (MM), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and benign dermatosis. The expression of GPNMB in the tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Twenty cases of normal skin and adjacent neoplastic normal skin tissues were selected as controls.

Results  GPNMB was positively stained in skin malignancies (38/50, 76%), which was significantly higher than that in the control and the benign skin tissues (P=0.001 and <0.001 respectively). GPNMB was positively stained in MM (13/15, 87%) and SCC (16/20, 80%) (P <0.001). Significant higher expression of GPNMB was observed in patients aged ≥65 years than those less than 65 years (n=11 and n=9 respectively, P=0.027). No significant difference of the expression rates was observed between normal control and BCC; however, stronger intensity was detected in the latter. Negative or weak expression was observed in the controls.

Conclusion  Over-expression of GPNMB correlated strongly and might play an important role in the pathogenesis of MM and SCC.

     

Interleukin-1β,Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Lipopolysaccharide Induce Expression of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 in Calf Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

The focal influx and accumulation of lipoprotein at arterial lesion--prone sites and the recruitment of blood monocytes to those sites are two early key events in atherogenesis. After entering thesubendothelial space of the arterial wall, monocytes undergo activation--differentiation to becomemacrophages which subsequently internallze oxidatively modified lipoproteins through scavenger receptors and become foam cells. Therefore, tostudy the mechanism of the recruitment of bloodmonocytes to the…     

Effect of oxymatrine on specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte surface programmed death receptor-1 expression in patients with chronic hepatitis B

Background  Oxymatrine has certain antiviral effects in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), but its exact mechanism is unclear. The objective of the present study was to explore oxymatrine’s antiviral mechanism by studying its effect on the hepatitis B virus (HBV) specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) surface programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) expression in CHB patients.

Methods  Sixty-five CHB patients who had HBV DNA³10⁴ copies/ml, positive HBeAg, positive human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2´upper limit of normal value (ULN) were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (n=33), treated with an intravenous infusion of 600 mg oxymatrine in glucose solution once a day for a month, then with a 200 mg oxymatrine oral capsule three times a day, and a 200 mg silibin meglumine tablet three times a day; control group (n=32) patients were treated only with silibin meglumine tablet, method and dosage were the same as those of treatment group. Three months later, peripheral blood HBV-specific CTL surface PD-1 expression, HBV-specific CTL level, HBV DNA, HBeAg, and results of liver function tests were analyzed and compared.

Results  Three months post-treatment, in the treatment group, peripheral blood HBV-specific CTL surface PD-1 expression ((19.42±15.94)%) decreased significantly compared to the pretreatment level ((31.30±24.06)%; P <0.05), and decreased significantly compared to that of control group three months after treatment ((29.45±21.62)%; P <0.05). HBV-specific CTL level ((0.42±0.07)%) significantly increased compared with the pretreatment ((0.29±0.15)%; P <0.01), and the control group posttreatment level was (0.31±0.15)% (P <0.05). HBV DNA level in 11 cases became negative (HBV DNA<500 copies/ml, 33.33%), which was higher than that of the control group after treatment (two cases, 6.25%; χ²=7.45, P <0.01), HBeAg of nine cases turned negative (27.27%), which was higher than that of the control group after treatment (one case, 3.13%; χ²=7.27, P <0.01).

Conclusion  Oxymatrine could downregulate peripheral blood HBV-specific CTL surface PD-1 expression in CHB patients, increase HBV-specific CTL level, which may be one of the possible mechanisms by which oxymatrine clears or inhibits HBV in CHB patients.

     

Correlation between T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood lymphocytes and 2-year all-cause mortality in an apparently healthy elderly Chinese cohort

Background  Few data have been acquired on the predictive value of age-related T-lymphocyte subsets among older individuals. The present study has determined the distribution of T-cell phenotypes and their correlation to 2-year mortality in a cohort of Chinese male seniors.

Methods  A total of 101 asymptomatic elderly individuals with laboratory homeostasis were enrolled at baseline. Three age subgroups were categorized as young (65–74 years old), middle (75–84 years old ), and old (≥85 years) for age-related comparison. T-cell subsets in peripheral blood were measured by multi-colored flow cytometry.

Results  At baseline, there was a mild negative correlation by age for total lymphocytes and CD3⁺ T-cells. The frequency of CD28 and CD95 demonstrated a “curved” rather than linear tendency by age. At 2-year follow-up, little change of T-cell distribution was found among those who remained alive (as survivors) comparing the data at baseline to the 2-year time point. Immune risk phenotypes were distinctly demonstrated between survivors and non-survivors.

Conclusions  Since few studies have studied on the distribution of T-lymphocyte subsets in an elderly Chinese population, our results have not only provided reference values of T-subsets for aged Chinese men, but confirmed the immune risk phenotypes among elderly Chinese. The inappropriate age-dependent trajectory of CD28^–/CD8⁺ and CD95^–/CD8⁺ by age, which suggested 85 might be an inflexion point of age during T-cell ageing, warrants further exploration of the underlying mechanisms of T-cell ageing.

Surveillance testing in patients with primary malignant melanoma

There are, at this time, no fully published prospective randomized studies of follow-up strategies for patients with primary malignant melanoma. However, four recent retrospective studies indicated that greater than 90% of melanoma recurrences were detected by history and/or physical examination, and that detection of recurrent melanoma by blood tests, chest X-ray, or CT scan rarely led to long-term survival. Based on the results of the above studies, recommendations for follow-up as developed by the National Institute of Health Consensus Panel on Early Melanoma can be considered. These include: 1) history and physical examination (including total body skin examination) at regular intervals; 2) the consideration of initial screening for first degree family members of patients with melanoma; and 3) on-going education for patients to recognize the signs of local and regional recurrences.

单核细胞趋化蛋白-1对67例全身炎症反应综合征患者的诊断价值

目的 评估单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)在全身炎症反应综合征(SIRS)中的诊断价值。 方法 前瞻性研究。收集天津医科大学第二医院重症监护病房(ICU)、泌尿外科及胃肠外科于2020年8月至2021年4月收住院的67例经诊断符合SIRS的患者作为病例组,对照组为同期体检人员44例。采用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)检测病例组与对照组血清中的MCP-1浓度并比较其差异。将病例组按是否存在多器官功能障碍(MODS)分为MODS组(n=26)和非MODS组(n=41),比较血清MCP-1浓度,绘制受试者工作曲线,评价血清MCP-1对SIRS伴MODS的诊断效能。根据患者临床表现及检测结果,将患者分为脓毒症组(n=15)和非脓毒症组(n=52),比较两组间血清MCP-1浓度。 结果 SIRS患者血清MCP-1中位水平为180.2(90.9~407.4)pg/mL,对照组血清中位水平为53.4(40.2~83.7)pg/mL(P<0.001)。SIRS患者中MODS组血清MCP-1中位水平为426.2(150.1~733.6)pg/mL,非MODS组血清MCP-1中位水平为135.0(55.6~236.1)pg/mL(P<0.001),以血清MCP-1为变量对SIRS伴MODS诊断效能的ROC曲线下面积为0.74,最大约登指数对应的血清MCP-1临界值为176.0 pg/mL,敏感度为76.9%,特异性为65.9%。脓毒症组与非脓毒症组血清MCP-1比较差异无统计学意义(P=0.832)。 结论 SIRS患者血清MCP-1检测对MODS具有辅助诊断价值,但不能作为SIRS进展为脓毒症的预测指标。
