Different clinical features between patients with ROS1-positive and ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer

ObjectiveTo compare the baseline clinical characteristics between patients with ROS1-positive and ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the correlations of these subtypes with the distribution of metastases.MethodsWe compared the clinical characteristics and imaging features of patients with ROS1-positive and ALK-positive NSCLC using statistical methods.ResultsData for 232 patients were analyzed. Compared with ALK-positive NSCLC, ROS1-positive NSCLC was more likely to occur in women (71% vs 53%), and primary lesions ≤3 cm were more common in patients with ROS1-positive compared with ALK-positive NSCLC (58% vs 37%). There was no significant difference in the distribution of metastases between the two groups. Subgroup analysis within the ROS1-positive group showed that, compared with primary lesions >3 cm, primary lesions ≤3 cm were more likely to present as peripheral tumors (72% vs 43%) and more likely to exhibit non-solid density (44% vs 4%).ConclusionsAlthough ROS1-positive and ALK-positive NSCLCs show similar clinical features, the differences may help clinicians to identify patients requiring further genotyping at initial diagnosis.

Angiopoietin-like 4 Stimulates STAT3-mediated iNOS Expression and Enhances Angiogenesis to Accelerate Wound Healing in Diabetic Mice

Impaired wound healing is a major source of morbidity in diabetic patients. Poor outcome has, in part, been related to increased inflammation, poor angiogenesis, and deficiencies in extracellular matrix components. Despite the enormous impact of these chronic wounds, effective therapies are lacking. Here, we showed that the topical application of recombinant matricellular protein angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) accelerated wound reepithelialization in diabetic mice, in part, by improving angiogenesis. ANGPTL4 expression is markedly elevated upon normal wound injury. In contrast, ANGPTL4 expression remains low throughout the healing period in diabetic wounds. Exogenous ANGPTL4 modulated several regulatory networks involved in cell migration, angiogenesis, and inflammation, as evidenced by an altered gene expression signature. ANGPTL4 influenced the expression profile of endothelial-specific CD31 in diabetic wounds, returning its profile to that observed in wild-type wounds. We showed ANGPTL4-induced nitric oxide production through an integrin/JAK/STAT3-mediated upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in wound epithelia, thus revealing a hitherto unknown mechanism by which ANGPTL4 regulated angiogenesis via keratinocyte-to-endothelial-cell communication. These data show that the replacement of ANGPTL4 may be an effective adjunctive or new therapeutic avenue for treating poor healing wounds. The present finding also confirms that therapeutic angiogenesis remains an attractive treatment modality for diabetic wound healing.     

The lncRNA MIR4435-2HG promotes lung cancer progression by activating β-catenin signalling

Recently, emerging evidence has suggested that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have crucial roles in cancer progression. Here, we demonstrated that the lncRNA MIR4435-2HG was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and correlated with histological grades and lymph node metastasis. Phenotypic analysis indicated that MIR4435-2HG knockdown inhibited lung cancer cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Notably, MIR4435-2HG knockdown suppressed the EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) process and cancer stem cell traits of lung cancer cells. Mechanistically, MIR4435-2HG knockdown decreased the transactivation of β-catenin. MIR4435-2HG interacted with β-catenin and thus prevented its degradation by the proteasome system. Our findings highlight the important roles and mechanisms of MIR4435-2HG in lung cancer progression. High expression of lncRNA MIR4435-2HG correlates with lung cancer progression MIR4435-2HG promotes lung cancer cells proliferation and invasion MIR4435-2HG knockdown suppresses the EMT process and cancer stem cell traits MIR4435-2HG knockdown inhibits the β-catenin signalling.
