Wnt3a信号通路通过JMJD6的表观遗传修饰参与神经病理性疼痛

目的：探讨Wnt3a通过Jumonji C结构域6( Jumonji C domain 6,JMJD6)的表观遗传修饰在神经病理性疼痛 中发挥作用的机制。方法：将SD大鼠分为4组：Sham组,慢性缩窄性损伤(chronic constriction injury,CCI)组,CCI+阴性慢病毒表达载体(LV-NC)组;CCI+慢病毒过表达载体(LV-JMJD6)组。构建SD大鼠坐骨神经CCI模型和JMJD6慢病毒 表达载体。CCI术后第3天通过鞘内导管给药,按照分组分别给予生理盐水和含慢病毒的试剂(病毒滴度1×108 TU/mL) 各20 μL。监测大鼠的机械缩足阈值(paw withdrawal mechanical threshold,PWMT)和热缩足潜伏期(paw withdrawal thermal latency,PWTL),并运用蛋白质印迹法检测脊髓水平Wnt3a及NR2B蛋白的表达变化,免疫共沉淀检测JMJD6与Wnt3a之间是否存在直接相互作用。结果：与Sham组相比,CCI术后各组大鼠的PWMT明显降低和PWTL明显缩短(P<0.05)。与CCI组和CCI+LV-NC组相比,CCI+LV-JMJD6组的PWMT在术后第10和14天明显升高,PWTL在术后第14 天明显延长(P<0.05)。CCI术后第14天,CCI组及CCI+LV-NC组Wnt3a和NR2B蛋白表达水平较Sham组明显升高,鞘内注 射慢病毒载体后, CCI+LV-JMJD6组的Wnt3a和NR2B蛋白表达水平较CCI+LV-NC组降低(P<0.05)。免疫共沉淀结果显示Wnt3a与JMJD6之间无直接相互作用。结论：Wnt3a参与调节神经病理性疼痛,其作用可能与JMJD6的表观遗传修饰相关,两者可能通过间接相互作用进行调节。

Individual and joint effects of borderline ankle-brachial index and high plasma total homocysteine on all-cause death in hypertensive adults

BACKGROUNDThe cardiovascular hazards of total homocysteine (tHcy) are long known. In addition, despite the acknowledgment on the importance of low ankle-brachial index (ABI) (< 0.9), borderline ABI (0.91-0.99) was once commonly overlooked. This study aims to explore the independent and joint effect of tHcy level and borderline ABI on all-cause death in hypertensive population.METHODSThis study included 10,538 participants from China H-type Hypertension Registry Study. ABI was described into two groups: normal ABI (1.00-1.40) and borderline ABI. tHcy level was also divided into two groups: < 15.02 and ≥ 15.02 μmo/L. Four groups were analyzed, using COX proportional hazard regression model, separately and pairwise to observe the independent and joint effect on all-cause death.RESULTSA total of 126 (1.2%) deaths were observed in the 1.7 years follow-up time. Borderline ABI has a higher predicted risk of death than normal ABI (HR = 1.87, 95%CI: 1.17-3.00) after adjusting for potential covariates. Compare with tHcy level < 15.02 μmo/L (low tHcy), those with tHcy ≥ 15.02 μmo/L (high tHcy) had higher risk to event outcome (HR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.30-3.05). According to the cumulative hazard curve, group with borderline ABI and high tHcy level has significantly higher altitude and larger increasing rate over follow-up period compare to other groups. Among those with borderline ABI, participants with high tHcy had higher death risk than those with low tHcy, nevertheless, no significant different between borderline and normal ABI among those with low tHcy levels.CONCLUSIONSBorderline ABI and tHcy level both have independent predictive value on all-cause death. The combined group of borderline ABI and high tHcy has highest risk factor of outcomes, which suggested the mutual additive value of borderline ABI and tHcy. More attention should be given to the importance of borderline ABI in hypertensive population, especially with elevated tHcy level.

Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing, non-proteinogenic amino acid synthesized through the transmethylation of amino acid methionine from one-carbon metabolism. Elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) level is associated with endothelial dysfunction, increased blood coagulation, and metabolic disturbance, promoting cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and coronary artery disease.^[1,2] Notably, patients with high Hcy levels and concomitant hypertension were suggested to be at particularly higher risk.^[3] Moreover, increasing studies have explored a positive association between advanced Hcy level with all-cause mortality. According to a recent dose-response meta-analysis, for each 5-μmol/L increment of tHcy levels, the risk for all-cause mortality increased by 33.6%.^[4]The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is an effective, well-established measure that is commonly used in the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD),^[5] meanwhile was well studied as an important indicator of atherosclerosis and CVD events.^[6] Although ankle-brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.90 has been recognized as the threshold value for abnormal/low ABI, which was proven to increase the risk of all-cause mortality,^[7] a study from the American Heart Association has suggested ABI between 0.91 and 1.00 should be considered as “borderline area” in terms of cardiovascular risks,^[8] considering of prior probability and sensitivity of ABI calculation. Emerging studies have aimed to explore the predictive value of borderline ABI,^[9-11] however, controversy remains because of limited and inconsistent data. The current study aimed to explore the individual and joint effect of borderline ABI and tHcy on all-cause mortality among hypertensive adults. Although ABI level ≤ 0.90 has been and is going to remain significant in clinical practice, we believe broader concern should be placed on borderline ABI, especially for its value in risk differentiation and identification. To the best of our knowledge, there are no similar previous studies.

目的：探讨含SET结构域蛋白5（SETD5）对结肠癌细胞增殖、迁移和对5-氟尿嘧啶（5-FU）药物敏感性的影响及机制。方法：常规培养结肠癌细胞,用Lipofectamine 2000将siSETD5-NC、si-SETD5-1~3质粒转染至HT-29细胞中,将其分为对照组（未处理）、si-SETD5-NC组、si-SETD5组和si-SETD5+SC79组,si-SETD5+SC79组HT-29细胞转染质粒的同时用10 μmol/L SC79处理。qPCR法检测NCM460、HT-29和LoVo细胞中SETD5 mRNA表达,流式细胞术、细胞划痕法、WB法和CCK-8法分别检测各组HT-29细胞的凋亡情况、迁移能力、相关蛋白的表达,以及对5-FU 的敏感性。结果：SETD5 mRNA在HT-29、LoVo细胞中均呈高表达（均P<0.01）。在HT-29细胞中成功地敲减了SETD5 mRNA（P<0.01）。敲减SETD5 mRNA可明显抑制HT-29细胞的增殖活性（P<0.01）、迁移能力（P<0.01）、相关蛋白（SETD5、p-PI3K、p-AKT1、p-mTOR 蛋白）的表达（均P<0.01）、促进细胞凋亡（P<0.01）,且提高其对 5-FU 的敏感性（P<0.01）,这些作用均可被 AKT 激活剂 SC79 部分阻挡（P<0.05 或 P<0.01）。结论：SETD5在HT-29、LoVo细胞中高表达,SETD5通过PI3K/AKT1通路促进结肠癌HT-29细胞的增殖、迁移,且降低其对5-FU的敏感性,SETD5是结肠癌临床诊断、治疗的潜在靶点。
