奥沙利铂通过调控miRNA-7-5p/RAF-1促进胃癌SGC-7901细胞凋亡的研究

目的探讨奥沙利铂如何调控MAPK通路,抑制胃癌细胞的增殖。方法NCBI检索文献,利用TargetScan、StarBase和miRBase数据库,进行GO分析与KEGG通路富集,找到相关miRNAs,预测靶基因。应用Real-time PCR、MTT、Hoechst33258、流式细胞术、细胞划痕实验、Western blot等方法分析人胃癌SGC-7901细胞的增殖、细胞周期、侵袭及蛋白表达情况。结果胃癌细胞中miR-7-5p显著低表达,RAF1与miR-7-5p存在互靶关系。miR-7-5p mimics与奥沙利铂均可促进SGC-7901细胞的凋亡,提高G1期细胞百分率(P<0.05),降低侵袭、迁移速度。caspase3、caspase9蛋白表达升高,Bcl-2/Bax比值降低(P<0.05)。结论过表达miR-7-5p与奥沙利铂均可促进胃癌SGC-7901细胞的凋亡,提示奥沙利铂可能通过上调miRNA-7-5p促进SGC-7901细胞的凋亡,降低侵袭、迁移速度。     

真武汤合苓桂术甘汤改善心肾综合征大鼠模型水钠潴留的作用机制研究

[目的]研究真武汤合苓桂术甘汤对心肾综合征大鼠模型水钠潴留的作用机制。[方法]将60只雄性SD大鼠随机分为两组,即空白组与手术组,空白组大鼠常规饲养,手术组大鼠经5/6肾切除联合异丙肾上腺素皮下注射制备心肾综合征模型,剔除死亡大鼠后,将手术组剩余成模大鼠按体质量分层随机分为空白组、中药组、常规治疗组。中药组给予真武汤合苓桂术甘汤灌胃,给药量为7.29 g生药/(kg·d);常规治疗组给予贝那普利(0.45 mg/kg)+呋塞米(1.8m g/kg);空白组予以等容积生理盐水灌胃,每日1次,连续6周。观察实验过程中各组大鼠的精神状态、活动情况、灵敏度、毛发情况、食欲、大小便等一般情况及死亡情况,比较各组灌胃前、灌胃6周后的血清脑钠肽(BNP)、血肌酐(Scr)、血尿素氮(BUN)、尿水通道蛋白2(AQP2)的前后差值情况。[结果]灌胃6周后,中药组大鼠一般情况较灌胃前改善、喘息不明显,常规治疗组一般情况同样较灌胃前改善。通过比较治疗前后各组大鼠实验室指标差值发现,中药组与常规治疗组BNP均下降,中药改善大鼠心力衰竭情况接近常规治疗组水平,两组下降水平无统计学差异(P0.05);中药组Scr水平较前下降,常规治疗组Scr水平升高;中药组尿AQP2水平较前略增高,与空白组尿AQP2水平无统计学差异(P0.05),常规治疗组尿AQP2水平较前明显升高。[结论]心肾综合征大鼠尿AQP2的表达主要由肾脏调控,AQP2可作为心肾综合征水钠潴留状态的参考指标,真武汤合苓桂术甘汤改善心肾综合征大鼠水钠潴留状态的作用机制可能是通过抑制大鼠肾脏AQP2过度表达,减少水的重吸收,改善了水钠潴留状态。

Sirt5 is dispensable for BrafV600E‐mediated cutaneous melanoma development and growth in vivo

Sirt5 is known to functionally regulate mitochondrial proteins by altering posttranslational modifications, including lysine desuccinylation. While roles for Sirt5 as either a tumor promoter or suppressor, or in chemoresistance, have been implicated in other cancers, the function of Sirt5 in cutaneous melanoma has not been well examined. Therefore, to determine whether Sirt5 is necessary for Braf^V600E‐mediated melanoma formation and/or disease progression, we crossed a genetically engineered murine melanoma model (Tyr^CreERT2/+; Braf^{LSL‐V600E/+}; Pten^flox/flox) to Sirt5^?/? knockout animals. In addition, we tested for synergism with a selective BRAF (V600E) inhibitor in Sirt5^?/? mouse melanoma cells. Taken together, this report demonstrates that, in these models, Sirt5 is dispensable for Braf^V600E‐mediated cutaneous melanoma formation and growth in vivo, and does not improve sensitivity to a selective BRAF inhibitor.

Extracellular vesicles transmitted miR-31-5p promotes sorafenib resistance by targeting MLH1 in renal cell carcinoma

Sorafenib provides survival benefits in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but its use is hampered by acquired drug resistance. It is important to fully clarify the molecular mechanisms of sorafenib resistance, which can help to avoid, delay or reverse drug resistance. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can mediate intercellular communication by delivering effector molecules between cells. Here, we studied whether EVs are involved in sorafenib resistance of RCC and its possible molecular mechanisms. Using differential centrifugation, EVs were isolated from established sorafenib-resistant RCC cells (786-0 and ACHN), and EVs derived from sorafenib-resistant cells were uptaken by sensitive parental RCC cells and thus promoted drug resistance. Elevated exogenous miR-31-5p within EVs effectively downregulated MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) expression and thus promoted sorafenib resistance in vitro. Mice experiments also confirmed that miR-31-5p could mediate drug sensitivity in vivo. In addition, low expression of MLH1 was observed in sorafenib-resistant RCC cells and upregulation of MLH1 expression restored the sensitivity of resistant cell lines to sorafenib. Finally, miR-31-5p level in circulating EVs of RCC patients with progressive disease (PD) during sorafenib therapy was higher when compared to that in the pretherapy status. In conclusion, EVs shuttled miR-31-5p can transfer resistance information from sorafenib-resistant cells to sensitive cells by directly targeting MLH1, and thus magnify the drug resistance information to the whole tumor. Furthermore, miR-31-5p and MLH1 could be promising predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets to prevent sorafenib resistance.     

免疫检查点抑制剂治疗少见突变非小细胞肺癌疗效的研究进展

驱动基因的发现及针对驱动基因的靶向治疗已显著提高了肺癌患者的生存质量和时间，但目前对于BRAF、HER2、MET、RET等少见驱动基因改变肺癌患者的靶向药物的选择仍然较少。近年来免疫检查点抑制剂在肺癌治疗中取得了一定的疗效，但因为少见驱动基因突变的肺癌患者本身样本量少，开展大规模临床随机对照试验尚存在一定的困难，目前此类患者接受免疫检查点抑制剂治疗的疗效情况仍不明确。本文将对目前已掌握的免疫检查点抑制剂治疗BRAF、HER2、MET、RET等少见驱动基因改变肺癌患者的临床研究结果进行综述，以期在一定程度上为临床工作提供一些依据和参考。     

Prenatal diagnosis of mosaicism for a distal 5p deletion in a single colony at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with a favorable outcome and a review of mosaic distal 5p deletion

ObjectiveWe present prenatal diagnosis of mosaicism for a distal 5p deletion in a single colony at amniocentesis with a favorable outcome, and we review the literature of mosaic distal 5p deletion.Case ReportA 35-year-old primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age. Amniocentesis revealed the result of 46,XY,del(5)(p13)[1]/46,XY[19]. Among 20 colonies of cultured amniocytes, all four cells in one colony had a karyotype of 46,XY,del(5)(p13) with a distal deletion of 5p13→pter, while the rest 19 colonies had a karyotype of 46,XY. Repeat amniocentesis was performed at 21 weeks of gestation. Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY in all 20 colonies. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) using the DNA extracted from the uncultured amniocytes revealed no genomic imbalance. Prenatal ultrasound findings were unremarkable. At 38 weeks of gestation, a 3621-g male baby was delivered with no phenotypic abnormality. The cord blood had a karyotype of 46,XY. Postnatal urinary cells analysis by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a 5p terminal FISH probe detected no abnormal cell in the urine.ConclusionMosaicism for a distal 5p deletion in a single colony at amniocentesis can be associated with a favorable outcome.
