转录因子Ascl2调控Acss1/3的表达影响结直肠癌患者预后

转录因子Ascl2作为WNT信号靶基因,可影响结直肠癌（CRC）前体细胞干性特征,探讨其能否调控短链脂肪酸β-氧化而影响CRC患者的预后。方法 下载稳定干扰Ascl2表达的CRC LS174T细胞（sh-Ascl2/LS174T）的mRNA及miRNA差异表达数据（GSE69036和GSE34926）分析其靶基因;应用RT-PCR方法和Western 印迹定量检测sh-Ascl2/LS174T及对照细胞中的Ascl2、Acss1和Acss3的mRNA表达水平,以及Ascl2和Acss1蛋白表达水平,从GSE44076表达数据和UALCAN数据比较在正常结直肠粘膜、CRC组织和不同临床病理分期的肿瘤组织的表达水平差异;TCGA数据库下载548例CRC患者基因 mRNA表达量及相关临床信息,用Spearman等级相关分析表达相关性,Kaplan-Meier法进行生存分析,Cox回归分析评估危险因素。结果 sh-Ascl2/LS174T细胞中Acss1的mRNA较对照细胞下调2.08倍,miR-4282表达水平下调2.069倍。RT-PCR定量检测sh-Ascl2/LS174T细胞中Acss1的mRNA和miR-4282水平明显下降(P＜0.01), Acss3的mRNA水平明显升高(P＜0.05);Acss1和Ascl2蛋白水平较对照细胞均明显下降。CRC组织Ascl2和Acss1的mRNA水平明显高于癌旁结直肠粘膜组织(P＜0.001),而Acss3明显低于癌旁结直肠粘膜组织 (P＜0.001);CRC组织中Ascl2与Acss1的mRNA表达水平呈正相关,与Acss3的表达水平呈负相关(均P＜0.001)。Ascl2和Acss3表达水平与疾病特异性生存期（DSS）、总体生存期（OS）、无进展生存期（PFS）无关,Acss1高表达组比低表达组的DSS (P=0.0389)和OS (P=0.04)明显降低。Ascl2与Acss1基因异常表达、Ascl2、Acss1和Acss3基因异常联合表达与CRC患者的DSS存在显著的联系(P=0.0377和P=0.0161),Ascl2、Acss1和Acss3三个基因的联合异常表达是影响CRC患者DSS的危险因素之一(P=0.043)。结论Ascl2对CRC细胞中的Acss1/3的表达可能具有调控作用而导致其短链脂肪酸β-氧化的重编程,它们的联合异常表达可以一定程度预测CRC患者的预后

Diagnostic utility of serum dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP- IV) /CD26 as a serum marker in Egyptian patients with colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Egypt. Colonoscopy is the standard for detection of lesions. The combination of screening methods is effective. Decrease and loss of DPP-IV/CD26 expression and activity are found in microenvironments of specific tumors which are related to impaired immune functions.     

Loss of claudin-1 expression induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition through nuclear factor-κB activation in colorectal cancer

Objective

The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinicopathological significance and prognostic role of loss of claudin-1 in colorectal cancer (CRC).

How many lymph nodes are necessary to stage early and advanced adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon and upper rectum?

The lymph-node yields in specimens resected for colorectal adenocarcinoma show considerable variations, raising the question whether the minimum lymph-node number recommended by the UICC (International Union Against Cancer) for pN0 classification represents an appropriate quality standard for specimen work-up. The number of pericolic lymph nodes recovered from 568 archival surgical colorectal carcinoma specimens located in the sigmoid or upper rectum showed a highly statistically significant correlation with both the pT category and the presence of metastases (P<0.0005). The median lymph-node yield in standardized (i.e., resembling in size surgically removed cancer specimens) tumor-free specimens obtained during autopsies was 13 lymph nodes, compared with 20.5 when diverticula were present and more than 30 in specimens with chronic inflammation or from patients with systemic infections. In 48 pT2 and pT3 carcinoma specimens prospectively dissected in the same way, median numbers of 18 (pT2) and 23 (pT3) lymph nodes were detected (range between 8 and 39 nodes). The lymph-node numbers recommended in previous studies and by the UICC often seem to be too low to declare a specimen free of metastases. Although the great variation in lymph-node counts requires the recovery of all lymph nodes for pN0 classification, recommendations considering the pT status and additional factors like diverticula and inflammatory changes can be useful as a quality standard for specimen work up.     

致敏树突状细胞活化细胞毒性T细胞抗肿瘤作用的研究

目的：研究树突状细胞（DCs）激活的细胞毒性T细胞的抗肿瘤及预防肿瘤发生的作用。 方法： 细胞因子诱生人PBMC未成熟DCs，加入肿瘤细胞抗原提取物致敏DCs产生成熟DCs；通过细胞形态、表面标记鉴定成熟DCs，MTT法测成熟DCs活化的细胞毒性T细胞(CTL)的体外杀伤活性；裸鼠体内注射活化CTL观察其抑制移植瘤生长及发生的作用。 结果： 经过7 d培养，获得大量形态典型、具有强烈刺激增殖能力、高表达CD80(63.5%)、CD83（67.6%）和CD3/ HLA-DR(83.2%)的DCs。其活化的CTL在20∶1效靶比时对抗原来源细胞株自身的杀伤率达75%以上，对同系细胞株的杀伤活性为35%-45%，对其它种系肿瘤细胞仅有微弱杀伤力（P<0.01）。CTL对裸鼠结肠癌HT-29移植瘤有特异性的生长抑制和预防生成作用（P<0.05）。CTL治疗组肿瘤组织中PCNA表达水平显著低于对照组（P<0.05）。 结论： 肿瘤细胞抗原活化的DC诱导CTL对肿瘤有特异性的杀伤作用，体内应用可特异性抑制移植结肠癌的生长或预防小鼠结肠癌移植瘤的发生。     

Colorectal polyposis with mixed juvenile and adenomatous patterns

Summary An unusual form of colorectal polyposis is described displaying juvenile, adenomatous and mixed patterns in a 17-year-old girl. Although juvenile polyposis is generally considered to be non-neoplastic in nature, in both the present and in other case reports histological findings support a neoplastic nature. Since an increase in the incidence of large bowel carcinomas has been found in subjects with a previous diagnosis of juvenile polyposis, these patients should be considered to be at risk, and submitted to follow up.     

Diagnostic performance of arginase activity in colorectal cancer

Arginase activity was measured in serum and biopsy from healthy individuals and colorectal cancer patients. Arginase activity in tumor samples (87±7.7 U/g tissue) was significantly higher than in controls (40.7±3.3 U/g tissue). However, serum arginase activity did not show any significant change in both groups. Finally, the micromethod used to quantify arginase activity in this study is superior to other methods because it has increased sensitivity, requires less sample, and is less time-consuming. Arginase differences are significant, according to the t-test (P<0.05). Received: 14 September 2001 / Accepted: 6 February 2002
