嘌呤能受体X1与肺腺癌预后及免疫细胞浸润的相关性研究

目的：探索嘌呤能受体X1(purinergic receptor，P2RX1)与肺腺癌(LUAD)患者预后及免疫细胞浸润的相关性。方法：利用生物信息学技术分析非小细胞肺癌中P2RX1的表达及其甲基化与患者预后的关系，对P2RX1共表达基因进行富集分析并筛选核心基因。利用TIMER 2.0数据库、R软件等分析P2RX1与免疫细胞、免疫检查点、免疫基质评分等的相关性。结果：P2RX1在LUAD中表达下调，低表达P2RX1的患者预后较差(P<0.05)，且P2RX1与肿瘤纯度、分期等临床病理因素有关(P<0.05)。P2RX1的表达与肺鳞癌患者预后无明显相关。Cg06475633等P2RX1 CpG位点甲基化与患者预后相关。P2RX1共表达基因主要富集于免疫细胞活化、分化等通路和生物学进程，核心基因主要包括BTK、IKZF1等。P2RX1的表达与B细胞浸润、免疫/基质评分、PD-1、CTLA-4等多个免疫检查点显著相关(P<0.05)。结论：P2RX1有望成为LUAD诊断和免疫治疗的新靶点。     

过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体基因甲基化与子痫前期的相关性分析

目的探讨过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPARα)基因启动子的甲基化水平及基因表达情况与子痫前期之间的相关性。方法选取2016年11月-2017年8月在甘肃省妇幼保健院产科分娩的67例子痫前期患者为观察组,56例正常分娩产妇为对照组。应用甲基化特异度聚合酶链反应(MSP)法和RT-PCR技术分析PPARα基因启动子区Cp G位点的甲基化水平及其mRNA表达情况。结果观察组患者外周血和胎盘组织PPARα基因63位点的甲基化程度明显低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(均P0. 05)。观察组患者胎盘的PPARα基因mRNA表达量明显高于对照组,其外周血中蛋白浓度也显著高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(均P0. 05)。胎盘组织和外周血的甲基化率呈显著正相关关系(r=0. 84,P0. 01)。结论 PPARα基因启动子区域Cp G位点低甲基化变化与子痫前期具有相关性。子痫前期发病可能与母体自身密切相关。     

肾肉瘤样癌超声造影表现1例并文献回顾

肉瘤样肾细胞癌在肾细胞癌中极少见,术前准确判定肾癌类型对于确定手术切除的程度很有帮助,对肾肉瘤样癌手术切除需扩大手术范围,且由于其倾向于转移,术前还需对转移性病灶进行评估。所以增强超声医师对肾肉瘤样癌的认识对其治疗有重要意义。     

腰椎骨母细胞瘤伴动脉瘤样骨囊肿的诊断分析

目的探讨腰椎骨母细胞瘤及动脉瘤样骨囊肿的影像特征及鉴别诊断。方法分析1例腰椎骨母细胞瘤伴动脉瘤样骨囊肿病人的CT和MRI表现及临床病理特征,并复习相关文献。结果 CT示病变呈膨胀型骨质破坏区,周围可见硬化,病变内可见斑点样高密度影。MRI示L3-4右侧附件区可见类圆形异常信号区,T1WI上呈等低信号,T2WI上呈等高信号,并可见"液-液"平面分层,伴相应水平脊髓受压、椎管狭窄。动态增强扫描病变呈明显不均匀强化,L3椎体骨髓亦呈强化效应改变。手术病理为骨母细胞瘤。结论腰椎骨母细胞瘤及动脉瘤样骨囊肿临床虽少见但其CT及MRI表现具有一定特征,有助于本病的诊断及鉴别诊断。     

miR-599和BRD4在卵巢癌中的表达及其与临床病理参数和预后的关系

目的检测miR-599、含溴结构域蛋白4 (BRD4)在上皮性卵巢癌组织中的表达情况并探讨其与患者临床病理参数和预后的关系。方法收集2012年1月-2014年3月在该院行切除术的上皮性卵巢癌组织标本47例(卵巢癌组),收集同期良性卵巢上皮组织41例(良性对照组)和正常卵巢上皮组织34例(正常对照组)作为对照。采用实时荧光定量PCR (qRTPCR)检测miR-599和BRD4 mRNA表达情况;采用免疫组化法检测BRD4蛋白表达情况;分析miR-599和BRD4与卵巢癌患者临床病理参数及预后之间的关系。结果 miR-599 mRNA在卵巢癌组、良性对照组、正常对照组中的相对表达量逐渐降低,两两比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P0. 05); BRD4 mRNA和蛋白相对表达量逐渐升高,两两比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P0. 05)。miR-599、BRD4表达与卵巢癌患者年龄、是否绝经、组织类型、淋巴结转移情况无关(P0. 05),与FIGO分期、组织分化有关(P0. 05)。Spearman检验结果显示,卵巢癌组织中miR-599与BRD4表达负相关(r=-0. 631,P0. 05)。miR-599低表达者3年存活率明显低于miR-599高表达者(41. 94%vs. 81. 25%,P0. 05); BRD4阳性表达者3年存活率明显低于BRD4阴性表达者(34. 48%vs. 88. 89%,P0. 05)。结论 miR-599在卵巢癌组织中明显低表达,BRD4显著高表达,二者与卵巢癌患者病理分化及术后生存率密切相关。     

Effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCR4 axis in neural stem cell transplantation for Parkinson’s disease

Previous studies have shown that neural stem cell transplantation has the potential to treat Parkinson’s disease,but its specific mechanism of action is still unclear.Stromal cell-derived factor-1 and its receptor,chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4),are important regulators of cell migration.We speculated that the CXCR4/stromal cell-derived factor 1 axis may be involved in the therapeutic effect of neural stem cell transplantation in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.A Parkinson’s disease rat model was injected with 6-hydroxydopamine via the right ascending nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway,and then treated with 5μL of neural stem cell suspension(1.5×104/L)in the right substantia nigra.Rats were intraperitoneally injected once daily for 3 days with 1.25 mL/kg of the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 to observe changes after neural stem cell transplantation.Parkinson-like behavior in rats was detected using apomorphine-induced rotation.Immunofluorescence staining was used to determine the immunoreactivity of tyrosine hydroxylase,CXCR4,and stromal cell-derived factor-1 in the brain.Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,the mRNA expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and CXCR4 in the right substantia nigra were measured.In addition,western blot assays were performed to analyze the protein expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and CXCR4.Our results demonstrated that neural stem cell transplantation noticeably reduced apomorphine-induced rotation,increased the mRNA and protein expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and CXCR4 in the right substantia nigra,and enhanced the immunoreactivity of tyrosine hydroxylase,CXCR4,and stromal cell-derived factor-1 in the brain.Injection of AMD3100 inhibited the aforementioned effects.These findings suggest that the stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCR4 axis may play a significant role in the therapeutic effect of neural stem cell transplantation in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease.This study was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Kunming Medical University,China(approval No.SYXKK2015-0002)on April 1,2014.
