目的:酵母双杂交技术筛选结肠癌细胞中与裸角质层同源蛋白1(naked cuticle homolog 1,NKD1)相互结合的蛋白质,从而进一步了解NKD1。方法:以结肠癌细胞SW480的cDNA为模板,克隆NKD1基因,并将其成功构建在pGBKT7诱饵载体上。利用酵母双杂交技术从结肠癌SW480细胞文库进行筛选。结果:初步筛选获得13个阳性克隆菌株。经测序,在数据库中BLAST比对后,共确定为8种不同基因编码的蛋白片段。回转实验进一步验证了这8种不同基因编码的蛋白均能够激活酵母双杂交系统中的His3、Ade2和LacZ报告基因。这8种不同基因中的4种基因编码的蛋白片段为YWHA蛋白家族成员,其中2种都是编码YWHAE蛋白片段。在结肠癌HCT116细胞中通过免疫共沉淀实验进一步验证,NKD1与YWHAE在结肠癌细胞中可以相互结合。结论:结肠癌细胞中,证实YWHAE是NKD1结合蛋白质,通过调控胰岛素的敏感性,进而调控结肠癌细胞对葡萄糖的摄入。     

Update on adrenal cortical neoplasia

The adrenal cortex gives rise to a biologically heterogenous group of neoplasms, each with a distinct morphology, antigen expression and molecular profile. Adrenal cortical adenomas have excellent prognosis and are usually cured by surgical resection alone, while adrenal cortical carcinomas are very aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis regardless of therapy. These tumors are rare and often challenging for a pathologist to diagnose, as significant overlap exists between benign and malignant lesions in some cases. In this review, we attempt to summarize most important histologic and clinical features of adrenal cortical adenomas and carcinomas, clarify the use of different grading systems, the use of special stains and the differential diagnosis for practicing pathologists. Most relevant hereditary syndromes associated with adrenal cortical tumors are listed. Updates in molecular alterations in adrenal cortical neoplasms and hyperplastic diseases as well as their clinical significance and potential therapeutic implications are also discussed.     

膳食炎症指数与炎症的相关性及研究进展

膳食炎症指数(DII)来源于将饮食和炎症联系起来的文献,被开发用来量化饮食的整体炎症潜能。饮食在调节慢性炎症中起着核心作用,是重要的调节因子,如果饮食的炎症潜能很高,则能够激发免疫调节作用,引起慢性炎症。DII可用于评估和指导个人饮食计划。本研究收集国外相关文献,就DII与炎症之间的相关性予以综述,以期通过减少饮食中的炎性成分而对慢性炎症引起的相关疾病进行一级预防。     

2型糖尿病患者CA125、CA19-9、CEA水平的动态检测及其与平均血糖波动幅度的相关性

目的:探讨2型糖尿病(type 2 diabetes mellitus,T2DM)患者血糖控制前后血清肿瘤标志物CA125、CA19-9、CEA的动态变化，并分析其与平均血糖波动幅度(mean amplitude of glycemic excuisions,MAGE)的相关性。方法:入组2018年6月至2020年3月我院内分泌代谢病科初诊的T2DM患者106例，T2DM患者给予胰岛素治疗或口服降糖药物治疗或二者联合治疗，观察血糖控制前和控制后2周、1个月、3个月时CA125、CA19-9、CEA的动态变化，并分析血清肿瘤标志物与MAGE的相关性。结果:106例初诊T2DM患者中，男63例(59.43%)，女43例(40.57%)，男女比例为1.47∶1；患者年龄41~68岁，平均(50.81±11.19)岁。T2DM患者在入院时血糖控制前、血糖控制后2周、血糖控制后1个月、血糖控制后3个月的肿瘤标志物CA125、CA19-9和CEA水平逐渐降低，经重复测量方差分析均有统计学差异(均P＜0.001)。血糖控制后2周、1个月、3个月时对T2DM患者行动态血糖监测评估MAGE，经Pearson相关性分析，MAGE水平与肿瘤标志物CA125、CA19-9和CEA水平均呈正相关关系(均P＜0.001)。结论:部分T2DM患者的血清肿瘤标志物水平会出现升高，经降糖治疗控制血糖后2周，肿瘤标志物水平明显下降，如血糖控制后2周仍无明显下降甚至继续升高者需警惕合并恶性肿瘤风险。MAGE水平与肿瘤标志物CA125、CA19-9和CEA水平均呈正相关关系，MAGE异常对T2DM患者血清肿瘤标志物水平存在影响。     

Recent insights into the characteristics and role of peritoneal macrophages from ascites of cirrhotic patients

Macrophages are a diverse myeloid cell population involved in innate and adaptive immune responses, embryonic development, wound repair, and regulation of tissue homeostasis. These cells link the innate and adaptive immunities and are crucial in the development and sustainment of various inflammatory diseases. Macrophages are tissue-resident cells in steady-state conditions; however, they are also recruited from blood monocytes after local pathogen invasion or tissue injury. Peritoneal macrophages vary based on their cell complexity, phenotype, and functional capabilities. These cells regulate inflammation and control bacterial infections in the ascites of decompensated cirrhotic patients. Our recent work reported several phenotypic and functional characteristics of these cells under both healthy and pathological conditions. A direct association between cell size, CD14/CD16 expression, intracellular level of GATA-6, and expression of CD206 and HLA-DR activation/maturation markers, indicate that the large peritoneal macrophage CD14^highCD16^high subset constitutes the mature phenotype of human resident peritoneal macrophages during homeostasis. Moreover, elevated expression of CD14/CD16 is related to the phagocytic capacity. The novel large CD14^highCD16^high peritoneal subpopulation is increased in the ascites of cirrhotic patients and is highly sensitive to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation, thereby exhibiting features of inflammatory priming. Thus, phosphorylation of ERK1/2, PKB/Akt, and c-Jun is remarkably increased in response to LPS in vitro, whereas that of p38 MAPK is reduced compared with the monocyte-derived macrophages from the blood of healthy controls. Furthermore, in vitro activated monocyte-derived macrophages from ascites of cirrhotic patients secreted significantly higher levels of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α and lower amounts of IL-1β and IL-12 than the corresponding cells from healthy donor’s blood. Based on these results, other authors have recently reported that the surface expression level of CD206 can be used to identify mature, resident, inflammatory peritoneal macrophages in patients with cirrhosis. Soluble CD206 is released from activated large peritoneal macrophages, and increased concentrations in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) indicate reduced odds of survival for 90 d. Hence, the level of soluble CD206 in ascites might be used to identify patients with SBP at risk of death. In conclusion, peritoneal macrophages present in ascites of cirrhotic patients display multiple phenotypic modifications characterized by reduced ratio of cells expressing several membrane markers, together with an increase in the ratios of complex and intermediate subpopulations and a decrease in the classic-like subset. These modifications may lead to the identification of novel pharmaceutical targets for prevention and treatment of hepatic damage.
