Different expression levels of exosomal miR-503 in peritoneal dialysis effluent from patients of different peritoneal transport characteristics and bioinformatics analysis

Objective To compare the expression level of exosomal miR-503 in peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE) from patients of different peritoneal transport characteristics, predict the target genes of miR-503 and provide bioinformatic data for researches of peritoneal transport characteristics. Methods Twenty-four stable peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients were selected and divided into high transport group (H group, n=12) and low transport group (L group, n=12) according to the results of peritoneal equilibration tests (PET). The 500 ml PDE that was left on the patient's abdomen overnight was collected and concentrated using ultrafiltration cell. Exosomes in PDE were resuspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) after ultracentrifugation and the characteristics of PDE exosomes were identified by transmission electron microscope (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), Western blotting and fluorescent staining. MicroRNAs were extracted from PDE exosomes. The expression levels of PDE exosomal miR-503 in the two groups were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Then the relations between the relative quantity of PDE exosomal miR-503 and PET values or 24 h ultrafiltration volume (UF) were analyzed. Targetscan and miRDB databases were used to predict the target genes of miR-503. Gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway analysis were relied on DAVID (https://david.ncifcrf.gov/). Results The exosomes in PDE showed a round and cup-shaped morphology under TEM, and the diameters were approximately 100 nm measured by NTA. The specific biomarkers of exosomes, CD63, CD81 and heat shock protein -70 (HSP-70) were all detected by Western blotting. The internalization and uptake of the exosomes was observed after fluorescent staining. The relative expression level of PDE exosomal miR-503 in H group was found to be significantly higher than that in L group (P=0.002), and the relative quantity of PDE exosomal miR-503 was significantly positively correlated with PET values (r=0.547, P=0.006), but not 24 h UF (r=-0.297, P=0.159). There were 156 target genes of miR-503 in total that could be predicted by two different databases at the same time. GO analysis of these 156 target genes was mainly focused on kinase binding, regulation of protein modification and catabolic process as well as regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. KEGG enriched many tumor associated or classical signaling pathways, including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. The prediction showed that vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) was a direct target gene of miR-503 and it was also related to many proteins involved in fibrosis mechanism. Conclusions The expression level of PDE exosomal miR-503 is significantly higher in H group, and positively correlates with PET values, which may regulate the angiogenesis of peritoneal vessels by targeting VEGFA.     

Acquired MET D1228N Mutations Mediate Crizotinib Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma with ROS1 Fusion: A Case Report

Patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) containing ROS1 fusions can have a marked response to the ROS1‐targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as crizotinib. Common resistance mechanisms of ROS1‐fusion targeted therapy are acquired mutations in ROS1. Along with the use of next‐generation sequencing in the clinical management of patients with NSCLC during sequential targeted therapy, many mechanisms of acquired resistance have been discovered in patients with activated tyrosine kinase receptors. Besides acquired resistance mutations, bypass mechanisms of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐TKI treatment are common in patients with EGFR mutations. Here we describe a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with CD74‐ROS1 fusion who initially responded to crizotinib and then developed resistance by the acquired mutation of D1228N in the MET kinase domain, which showed short‐term disease control for cabozantinib.Key Points

• The D1228N point mutation of MET is an acquired mutation for crizotinib resistance.
• The patient obtained short‐term clinical benefit from cabozantinib therapy after resistance to crizotinib.
• The clinical use of next‐generation sequencing could maximize the benefits of precision medicine in patients with cancer.

Menstrual and reproductive characteristics and breast cancer risk by hormone receptor status and ethnicity: The Breast Cancer Etiology in Minorities study

We pooled multiethnic data from four population-based studies and examined associations of menstrual and reproductive characteristics with breast cancer (BC) risk by tumor hormone receptor (HR) status [defined by estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)]. We estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals using multivariable logistic regression, stratified by age (<50, ≥50 years) and ethnicity, for 5,186 HR+ (ER+ or PR+) cases, 1,365 HR− (ER− and PR−) cases and 7,480 controls. For HR+ BC, later menarche and earlier menopause were associated with lower risk in non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) and Hispanics, and higher parity and longer breast-feeding were associated with lower risk in Hispanics and Asian Americans, and suggestively in NHWs. Positive associations with later first full-term pregnancy (FTP), longer interval between menarche and first FTP and shorter time since last FTP were limited to younger Hispanics and Asian Americans. Except for nulliparity, reproductive characteristics were not associated with risk in African Americans. For HR− BC, lower risk was associated with later menarche, except in African Americans and older Asian Americans and with longer breast-feeding in Hispanics and Asian Americans only. In younger African Americans, HR− BC risk associated with higher parity (≥3 vs. 1 FTP) was increased fourfold in women who never breast-fed, but not in those with a breast-feeding history, suggesting that breast-feeding may mitigate the adverse effect of higher parity in younger African American women. Further work needs to evaluate why menstrual and reproductive risk factors vary in importance according to age and ethnicity.     

Correlation of Molecular Markers in High Grade Gliomas with Response to Chemo-Radiation

Background: The standard of care in high grade glioma (HGG) is maximal safe surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) with/without chemotherapy. For anaplastic gliomas, studies have shown use of procarbazine, lomustine, vincristine (PCV) improves overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). Currently, there is substantial evidence that molecular markers strongly predict prognosis and response to treatment. Methods: Between January 2016 to January 2018, 42 patients were accrued and followed up till April 2019. The primary end points were to correlate molecular markers with response to therapy in terms of OS and PFS in HGG. The secondary end point was to evaluate frequency of 1p/19q codeletion, IDH 1 mutation, ATRX deletion and p53 in HGG patients. Results: The median age was 46 years (range 18-67) with M:F ratio 30:12. The frequency of IDH1 mutation,1p/19q codeletion, p53 mutation and ATRX mutation were 42.8%, 16.6%, 42.8% and 14.2% respectively. All the seven patients with 1p/19q codeletion had IDH1 mutation. Median follow up was 22 months. The 20-months PFS for different mutations were as follows; IDH1-mutated vs wild type: 53.6% vs 29.8%; p-0.035, 1p/19q codeleted vs non-codeleted: 85.7% vs 62.3%; p-0.011, p53 wild type vs mutated 32.1% vs 35.6%; p-0.035 and ATRX lost vs retained: 55.6% vs 53.3%; p- 0.369. The 20-months OS for IDH1 mutated vs wild type: 82.4% vs 30.6%; p-0.014, 1p/19q codeleted vs non-codeleted: 85.7% vs 65.8%; p-0.104, p53 wild-type vs mutated 45.5% vs 73.9%; p-0.036 and ATRX lost vs retained: 100% vs 60.3%; p-0.087. Conclusion: Codeletion of 1p/19q with IDH1 mutation in HGG is associated with a significantly favourable PFS. However, larger studies with longer follow up are required to evaluate OS and PFS in all the molecular subgroups.
