Risk factors for and predictive nomogram of overall survival in adult patients with craniopharyngiomas: A SEER population-based study

Studies with relatively large sample size as well as long-term follow-up focusing on adult craniopharyngioma (CP) patients are still lacking. We attempted to identify independent prognostic factors and establish a nomogram model to estimate survival rates for adult CP patients.The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was used to obtain data on patients with CP. Univariable and multivariable Cox analyses were utilized to identify the prognostic factors of adult CP patients. A survival prediction model was constructed and its predictive performance was also assessed.A total of 991 patients (695 in training group and 296 in validation group) were eligible for final inclusion. Multivariate Cox analysis presented that age at diagnosis, marital status, race, tumor size, and surgery type were statistically significant prognostic factors for overall survival (all P < .05). A graphical predicting nomogram model was developed to calculate the predicted patients’ survival probabilities at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years. The concordance indexes were 0.708 ± 0.019 and 0.750 ± 0.025 for the training and validation samples, respectively, demonstrating favorable discrimination abilities. Similarly, the time-dependent area under curve also showed overall satisfactory discrimination ability. Favorable consistencies between the predicted and actual survival were presented according to the calibration curves.An easy-to-use nomogram, being proven to be with reliable discrimination ability and accuracy, was established to help predict overall survival for adult patients with CP using the identified significant prognostic factors.     

LncRNA SNHG1 promotes renal cell carcinoma progression through regulation of HMGA2 via sponging miR‐103a

BackgroundLong noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) plays a vital role in tumorigenesis and development. The molecular mechanism of SNHG1 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has not been illustrated. The aim of this research was to explore the expression and function of LncRNA SNHG1 in RCC.Material and MethodsThe expression of SNHG1 in clinical tissues and RCC cell lines was detected. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the correlation between SNHG1, miR‐103a, and HMGA2. CCK‐8 assay was performed to examine cell viability. Cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. Cell invasion capacity was determined by Transwell assays. The protein level of HMGA2 was analyzed by Western blotting.ResultsThe expression of SNHG1 markedly increased in RCC tissues and cell lines. Subsequent studies identified SNHG1 as a miRNA sponge for miR‐103a. In addition, SNHG1 knockdown and miR‐103a overexpression significantly inhibited progression of RCC. miR‐103a also regulated HMGA2 levels.ConclusionOur findings showed that SNHG1 was upregulated in RCC cells and tissues. SNHG1 promoted the malignant characteristics of RCC cells. Its regulatory effect may be regulation of HMGA2 by sponging miR‐103a. Therefore, Our study facilitates the understanding of SNHG1 function in RCC.

成纤维细胞生长因子21对缺氧复氧心肌细胞的保护作用及机制研究

【摘要】 目的 探讨成纤维细胞生长因子21（FGF21）对缺氧复氧（H/R）心肌细胞的保护作用及对PI3K/AKT通路的影响。方法 重组腺病毒载体Ad FGF21诱导原代心肌细胞过表达FGF21。腺病毒转染心肌细胞后构建H/R损伤模型（3h缺氧联合3h复氧）。实验分为对照组（Con组）、H/R组、H/R+Ad GFP组、H/R+Ad FGF21组4组。心肌细胞存活率评估细胞损伤程度;SOD/MDA检测联合DHE荧光染色评估氧化应激反应（ROS）;流式细胞术评估细胞凋亡;Western blot检测相关蛋白水平。在机制探讨实验中给予PI3K/AKT抑制剂（LY294002）进行干预。结果 与Con组相比,H/R损伤后FGF21蛋白表达显著下调,并伴随心肌细胞活性降低、ROS与凋亡反应激活。腺病毒介导的心肌细胞过表达FGF21能够明显抑制H/R损伤,表现为细胞活力、ROS与凋亡反应均有不同程度改善。FGF21心肌细胞过表达能够增加PI3K/AKT磷酸化水平,而抑制PI3K/AKT通路后FGF21过表达介导的细胞保护功能被逆转。结论 FGF21主要通过PI3K/AKT依赖性途径改善心肌细胞H/R损伤。

A-kinase interacting protein 1 is sufficiently expressed and positively associates with WHO grade,meanwhile predicts unfavorable overall survival independently in glioma patients

The present study aimed to investigate the association of A-kinase interacting protein 1 (AKIP1) with clinical characteristics, and further explore the prognostic value of AKIP1 in glioma patients.Totally 168 glioma patients who underwent tumor resection were analyzed, and their tumor tissue specimens were acquired for the detection of AKIP1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC), which was scored by a semi-quantitative method considering staining intensity and staining density.According to AKIP1 expression in tumor tissues of glioma patients, there were 65 (38.7%) patients with AKIP1 low expression (IHC score 0–3), 48 (28.6%) patients with AKIP1 high + expression (IHC score 4–6), 42 (25.0%) patients with AKIP1 high++ expression (IHC score 7–9) and 13 (7.7%) patients with AKIP1 high+++ expression (IHC score 10–12), respectively. AKIP1 expression was positively associated with World Health Organization grade. Overall survival (OS) was the lowest in the patients with AKIP1 high+++ expression, followed by those with AKIP1 high++ expression and those with AKIP1 high+ expression, and highest in those with AKIP1 low expression. Further subgroup analysis exhibited that AKIP1 expression was negatively associated with OS especially in high-grade glioma patients. In addition, AKIP1 expression was negatively associated with OS in all subgroups of patients with/without adjuvant radiotherapy, with/without adjuvant chemotherapy. Further multivariate Cox''s regression exhibited that AKIP1 high expression was an independent predictive factor for worse OS.AKIP1 presents with the potential to be a novel biomarker for tumor management and prognosis surveillance in glioma patients.
