A novel lncRNA-LINC01116 regulates tumorigenesis of glioma by targeting VEGFA

Brain glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system, and one of the leading causes of death in patients with intracranial tumors. The clinical outcome of glioma is usually poor due to abundant vascularity, fast growth and susceptibility of invasion to normal brain tissues. Our microarray study showed that lncRNA-LINC01116 was significantly upregulated in glioma tissues and played an important role in cell proliferation, cycle, migration, invasion and angiogenesis. In addition, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) may be the major target genes in the downstream of lncRNA-LINC01116. Dual luciferase assay showed that LINC01116 and VEGFA both contained a miR-31-5p binding site, and LINC01116 could regulate the expression of VEGFA through competitive absorption of miR-31-5p. RNA immunoprecipitation indicated that LINC01116 and VEGFA were present in the miR-31-5p-RISC complex, and biotinylated miR-31-5p pull-down assay suggested that there was a competitive relationship between LINC01116 and VEGFA to bind with miR-31-5p. Collectively, our study has identified a novel lncRNA-LINC01116 and clarified the role and mechanism of LINC01116 in the tumorigenesis of glioma. LINC01116 may prove to be a potential target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of glioma.     

黄芪增液汤对便秘大鼠结肠AQP9的表达影响

目的:采用复方地芬诺酯灌胃建立津亏便秘大鼠模型,观察黄芪增液汤对便秘模型大鼠水通道蛋白-9(Aquaporin 9,AQP9)表达的影响。方法:健康(Sprague-Dawley,SD)大鼠50只,随机分为5组,空白组、模型组、伊托必利组、黄芪增液汤高、中、低剂量组。模型组及各治疗组采用限水+复方地芬诺酯灌胃复制津亏便秘模型,造模成功后,模型组以0.9%氯化钠注(NaCl)灌胃,每日1次。治疗组分别给予设定剂量和配比的增液汤和莫沙必利,每日1次(剂量依体质量而定),连续12天。治疗结束后,采用免疫组织化学链霉亲和素-生物素复合物(Strept Avidin-biotin Complex,SABC)法检测空白组、模型组及治疗各组AQP9在结肠的表达情况,应用彩色病理图像分析系统对阳性表达的平均光密度值(Density Mean,MD)进行半定量比较分析。结果:①AQP9在各组大鼠结肠黏膜均有表达,主要表达于杯状细胞胞膜,部分杯状细胞淡然,染色呈棕褐色,胞核无染色;②模型组AQP9表达显著降低,着色浅,MD值显著下降,与空白组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);③伊托必利组、中药高、中、低剂量组均较模型组细胞阳性表达量高,各组与空白组比较表达量低,MD值差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);④中药低、中剂量组、伊托必利组两两比较,表达量无统计学意义(P>0.05),中药高剂量组表达量较低、中剂量组、伊托必利组高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:①便秘大鼠结肠黏膜AQP9表达量显著降低,这可能是肠道液体分泌减少,导致便秘"津亏"的根源所在。②黄芪增液汤能上调便秘大鼠结肠黏膜AQP9表达,尤其以黄芪增液汤高剂量组升高明显,提示黄芪增液汤可能是以通过提高结肠AQP9表达来达到其对便秘"增液行舟"机制的。

The third-generation retinoid adapalene triggered DNA damage to induce S-phase arrest in HaCat cells

Epidermal proliferative diseases consisted of a series of common skin diseases, most of which were recurrent chronic skin diseases, and had greatly negative influence on the life quality of patient. Retinoids exhibited vital roles in the treatment of many skin diseases. Our recent study demonstrated that adapalene significantly inhibited the growth of HaCat cells, and the inhibitory activity was stronger than other retinoids, such as all-trans-retinoic acid, acitretin, isotretinoin, tazarotene, and bexarotene. Further study showed that adapalene suppressed the colony formation of HaCat cells, and it dramatically triggered S-phase arrest and apoptosis, rather than G1 phase arrest which was reported in other retinoids in several studies. Additionally, adapalene treatment greatly upregulated the protein expression of DNA damage marker γ-H2AX, which was in accord with the results of the elongation of tail moment by comet electrophoresis analysis. Moreover, DNA damage was triggered and DNA repair was suppressed synchronously with adapalene treatment, which accounted for the mechanism of S-phase arrest induced by adapalene. In summary, our recent work demonstrated that adapalene showed strong anti-proliferation activity in HaCat cells and could be an alternative agent for the epidermal proliferative disease.

电针干预佐剂性关节炎大鼠踝关节滑膜细胞凋亡的MMP-3、MMP-9分子调节机制

目的观察电针干预对佐剂性关节炎大鼠踝关节滑膜细胞凋亡和相关蛋白基质金属蛋白酶-3(MMP-3)、基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)表达的影响。方法32只雄性SD大鼠被随机分为生理盐水组、模型组、电针干预组和假电针干预组,每组8只。生理盐水组大鼠在双侧足垫部注射模拟造模,其余大鼠用弗氏完全佐剂在双侧足垫部注射造模。电针干预组大鼠予以电针干预。假电针干预组予以假电针刺激处理。HE染色观察模型大鼠踝关节炎症进展情况,Tunnel法检测模型大鼠踝关节滑膜细胞凋亡情况,RT-PCR检测踝关节滑膜的MMP-3、MMP-9的mRNA表达,Western blot检测踝关节滑膜的MMP-3、MMP-9的蛋白表达。结果HE染色显示,电针干预组大鼠的关节炎症显著轻于模型组。Tunnel法检测,电针干预可以促进关节炎大鼠的滑膜细胞凋亡。RT-PCR和Western blot检测结果显示,电针干预可以显著降低关节炎大鼠踝关节滑膜组织中的MMP-3、MMP-9 mRNA和蛋白表达水平(P<0.05)。结论电针干预可以显著减轻佐剂性关节炎大鼠的关节炎症和增殖的滑膜细胞数量,其分子机制可能和电针降低局部的MMP-3、MMP-9蛋白的表达有关。     

A Network Pharmacology Study of Reduning Injection for the Treatment of Coronavirus Disease-19

Objective: The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019?nCoV) outbreak has escalated into a global pandemic. According to Chinese guidance for coronavirus disease?19 (COVID?19): Prevention, control, diagnosis, and management, Reduning injection can effectively treat, the disease caused by the virus. To identify the active ingredients of Reduning injection and COVID?19 disease?related pathways, we conducted a network pharmacology study. Methods: The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database was used to screen the chemical constituents and potential targets of Reduning injection. The gene names were converted to the corresponding protein names using UniProt. GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to select targets related to 2019?nCoV. Using Cytoscape 3.7.2 software platform and STRING database, we constructed drug?common target and target protein protein?protein interaction network diagrams. Rx64 3.6.2 software and Bioconductor biological information software package were used for? Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses. Results: In Reduning injection, a total of 33 effective chemical components were obtained that were involved in 151 signaling pathways, of which 44 targets were considered therapeutically relevant. Conclusion: Reduning injection can be potentially applied for the treatment of COVID-19 based on the results of our network pharmacology study.
