Proteomics analysis of lysine crotonylation and 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation reveals significant features of systemic lupus erythematosus

Introduction/objectives

To seek significant features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by utilizing bioinformatics analysis.

Method

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was used to quantify lysine crotonylation (Kcr) and lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and normal controls.

Results

Seventy-six differentially modified proteins (DMPs) dually modified by Kcr and Khib were identified between SLE patients and healthy people. GO enrichment analysis prompted significant enrichment of seventy-six DMPs in MHC class II protein complex binding and leukocyte migration. KEGG pathways were enriched in antigen processing and presentation pathway and leukocyte transendothelial migration pathway. Six DMPs (CLTC, HSPA1B, HSPA8, HSP90AB1, HSPD1, and PDIA3) were identified in antigen processing and presentation pathway, of which HSPA8 was the core protein. Significant changes of Kcr and Khib in HSPA8 may increase ATP hydrolysis and promote antigen binding to MHC II molecule. In leukocyte transendothelial migration pathway, 7 DMPs (ACTN1, ACTN4, EZR, MSN, RAC1, RHOA, and VCL) were identified. MSN was the protein with the most modification sites in this pathway. In amino terminal ferm region of MSN, Kcr and Khib expression change may lead to the adhesion between leukocytes and endothelial cells, which was an important step of leukocyte migration.

Conclusion

Kcr and Khib may promote the antigen presentation and jointly regulate the tissue damage mediated by leukocyte migration in SLE patients, which may play key roles in the pathogenesis of SLE probably.

First-line nivolumab plus chemotherapy vs chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric,gastroesophageal junction and esophageal adenocarcinoma: CheckMate 649 Chinese subgroup analysis

First-line chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC) has poor median overall survival (OS; <1 year). We report efficacy and safety results from Chinese patients in the phase III global CheckMate 649 study of nivolumab plus chemotherapy vs chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of GC/GEJC/esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Chinese patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic GC/GEJC/EAC were randomized to receive nivolumab (360 mg Q3W or 240 mg Q2W) plus chemotherapy (XELOX [capecitabine and oxaliplatin] Q3W or FOLFOX [oxaliplatin, leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil] Q2W), nivolumab plus ipilimumab (not reported) or chemotherapy alone. OS, blinded independent central review-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR) and safety are reported. Of 1581 patients enrolled and randomized, 208 were Chinese. In these patients, nivolumab plus chemotherapy resulted in clinically meaningful improvement in median OS (14.3 vs 10.2 months; HR 0.61 [95% CI: 0.44-0.85]), median PFS (8.3 vs 5.6 months; HR 0.57 [95% CI: 0.40-0.80]), ORR (66% vs 45%) and median DOR (12.2 vs 5.6 months) vs chemotherapy, respectively. The safety profile was acceptable, with no new safety signals observed. Consistent with results from the global primary analysis of CheckMate 649, nivolumab plus chemotherapy demonstrated a clinically meaningful improvement in OS and PFS and higher response rate vs chemotherapy and an acceptable safety profile in Chinese patients. Nivolumab plus chemotherapy represents a new standard first-line treatment for Chinese patients with non-HER2-positive advanced GC/GEJC/EAC.     

首批依诺肝素钠国家对照品1,6-脱水衍生物含量赋值的协作研究

目的： 建立首批1,6-脱水衍生物系统适用性对照品，完善国家标准。方法：以欧洲药典依诺肝素钠对照品(EP Enoxaparin Sodium，Batch5)为系统适用性对照品，采用依诺肝素钠新国家标准草案 “1,6-脱水衍生物”检查法，对依诺肝素钠国家对照品(批号：140810-201801)进行1,6-脱水衍生物含量测定，由全国14个药品检验机构及依诺肝素生产企业实验室协作标定。结果：对依诺肝素钠系统适用性国家对照品(批号：140810-201801)1,6-脱水衍生物含量标定结果为20.3%，并对实验室内误差进行考察，14个实验室中有1个实验室(Lab1)标准差(SD)为1.8%，5个实验室(Lab2、Lab4、Lab10、 Lab11和Lab13)的SD为0.5%~0.7%，其余8个实验室的SD值均小于0.5%。对实验室间误差进行考察，有效数据的SD值为0.6%，相对标准偏差(RSD)为3.2%。结论：经国家药品标准物质委员会审定后批准， 依诺肝素系统适用性国家对照品(批号：140810-201801)增加1,6-脱水衍生物含量赋值，可以用于依诺肝素钠1,6-脱水衍生物检查系统适用性考察使用。     

RASopathies在矮小症中的研究进展

RASopathies是一组由于Ras/丝裂原激活蛋白激酶(Ras/mitogen activated protein kinase,MAPK)通路中的组分或调节因子的编码基因发生突变引起的一系列疾病。Ras/MAPK通路在调控细胞发育过程中发挥重要作用，因此RASopathies涉及疾病众多，且临床表现相互重叠，诊断难度大。其中，矮小症是RASopathies最常见的临床表现之一，但导致矮小症的机制有待进一步探索，且生长激素治疗RASopathies的效果差异较大。本文就RASopathies及其在矮小症中的研究进展作一综述。
