RAD18 is a crucial mismatch repair gene associated with the post-replication repair, and genetic variations in RAD18 gene are closely related to tumorigenesis. We selected 6 RAD18 SNP and performed mismatch amplification PCR on 650 cases of CIN III, 580 cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), and 1320 healthy controls. The RAD18 rs250403 GG and G allele (AG + GG) genotype risk in CIN III and CSCC were significantly increased. The results showed a significant correlation between the GG genotype of rs615967 and the risk of CIN III and CSCC. Carriers of the G allele (AG + GG) at RAD18 rs615967 also had an increased risk. More noteworthy was that the RAD18 rs250403 (A/G) and rs615967 (A/G) haplotypes associated with high risk of CIN III and CSCC were AG-GG, GG-AA, GG-AG, and GG-GG. Clinical data analysis further showed that the polymorphisms of RAD18 rs250403 and rs615967 were significantly correlated with prognostic indicators such as family history of tumor, differentiation grade, lymph node metastasis, and vascular involvement. RAD18 protein expression was significantly decreased in CSCCs with the rs615967-AG and rs615967-GG genotype. In summary, the 2 genetic polymorphisms of the RAD18 were associated with susceptibility and prognosis in CIN III and CSCC, and specific high-risk haplotypes of these 2 SNPs could serve as genetic predictive biomarkers.
This study investigated the differential metabolites after rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats were treated with Jinteng Qingbi granules. Collagen-induced arthritis rats were divided into three groups, namely normal group, model group, and Jinteng Qingbi granules group. Serum compounds were identified, annotated, and classified using metabolomics to explain the physicochemical properties and biological functions. The metabolites were screened using univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. There were differences in serum metabolites between RA and normal rats; Jinteng Qingbi granules improved RA and recovered the metabolite levels to normal. Compared to the normal group, 51 differential ions were screened, and 108 ions were changed in the Jinteng Qingbi granules group compared to the RA model. Eight metabolites were upregulated in the RA model group compared to the normal group, whereas 10 metabolites were downregulated. Treatment with Jinteng Qingbi granules increased the levels of 12 metabolites such as cinnamate and decreased the levels of 16 metabolites such as allamandin in the RA model. Differential ion enrichment was mainly related to the histidine metabolic pathway in amino acid metabolism. Jinteng Qingbi granules resulted in improvements in the RA model, which were mainly associated with lipids and lipid-like molecules, organic acids, and derivatives, providing a new possibility and basis for screening biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of RA.
The risk of endometriosis (EM), which is a common complex gynaecological disease, is related to genetic predisposition. However, it is unclear how genetic variants confer the risk of EM. Here, via Sherlock integrative analysis, we combined large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics on EM (N = 245,494) with a blood-based eQTL dataset (N = 1490) to identify EM risk-related genes. For validation, we leveraged two independent eQTL datasets (N = 769) for integration with the GWAS data. Thus, we prioritised 14 genes, including GIMAP4, TOP3A, and NMNAT3, which showed significant association with susceptibility to EM. We also utilised two independent methods, Multi-marker Analysis of GenoMic Annotation and S-PrediXcan, to further validate the EM risk-associated genes. Moreover, protein-protein interaction network analysis showed the 14 genes were functionally connected. Functional enrichment analyses further demonstrated that these genes were significantly enriched in metabolic and immunerelated pathways. Differential gene expression analysis showed that in peripheral blood samples from patients with ovarian EM, TOP3A, MKNK1, SIPA1L2, and NUCB1 were significantly upregulated, while HOXB2, GIMAP5, and MGMT were significantly downregulated compared with their expression levels in samples from the controls. Immunohistochemistry further confirmed the increased expression levels of MKNK1 and TOP3A in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium compared to normal endometrium, while HOBX2 was downregulated in the endometrium of women with ovarian EM. Finally, in ex vivo functional experiments, MKNK1 knockdown inhibited ectopic endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) migration and invasion. TOP3A knockdown inhibited EESCs proliferation, migration, and invasion, while promoting their apoptosis. Convergent lines of evidence suggested that MKNK1 and TOP3A are novel EM risk-related genes.

Abstract Background Low-grade serous ovarian cancer is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer and lack of large-scale systematic studies worldwide.This study is aimed to select the target gene and figure out the expression and clinical significance of it in low-grade serous ovarian cancer. Methods and Results The mRNA data was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), then the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between cancer and normal tissue were screened out by R software. Under comprehensive consideration, C1orf106 was chosen as our target gene based on the significant |logFC|, known molecular function and research innovation. Immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR both showed that C1orf106 was highly expressed in tumor tissue. Contacted with clinical information, high-expression of C1orf106 was associated with lower Body Mass Index (< 25kg/m 2 ) and no residual lesion. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high-expression of C1orf106 was associated with better overall survival, but may not be correlated with progression-free survival. COX regression model indicated that C1orf106 was one of the prognostic factor for low-grade serous ovarian cancer, but not independently. Conclusion C1orf106 was highly expressed in low-grade serous ovarian cancer. High expression of C1orf106 indicated a better overall survival. Therefore, C1orf106 may be one of the biomarkers with diagnostic and prognostic value in low-grade serous ovarian cancer, but the precise mechanism still needs further research.

PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatments are relatively inefficacious in advanced cervical cancer patients. The presence of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the tumor microenvironment may be one significant barrier to efficacy. It has been shown that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) can differentiate MDSCs into mature myeloid cells. However, whether ATRA suppression of MDSCs function could enhance PD-L1 blockade-mediated tumor immunotherapy remains unknown. Here, the frequency of tumor-infiltrating MDSCs in cervical cancer patients was measured. ATRA was used to target MDSCs both in vitro and in tumor-bearing mice. The impact of ATRA on the human cell line HeLa was also investigated. The frequency of MDSCs and T cells was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of immunosuppressive genes was measured with quantitative real time-PCR and infiltration of immune cells was assessed by immunohistochemical examination. We found that tumor-infiltrating PD-L1 + MDSCs were more prevalent in cervical cancer patients. Blockade of PD-L1 expression in MDSCs with anti-PD-L1 antibody cannot relieve the suppressive activity of MDSCs induced by HeLa cells, while ATRA efficiently abrogated the suppressive activity of MDSCs. Furthermore, ATRA had no effect on PD-L1 expression in HeLa cells in vitro. In in vivo treatment, ATRA decreased MDSCs accumulation and increased the frequency of CD8 + T cells in BALB/C mice with U14 cervical tumors. Importantly, a combination treatment of ATRA and anti-PD-L1 antibody further delayed U14 tumor growth and increased the proportion of CD62L − CD8 + T cells, CD62L − CD4 + T cells, CD107a + CD8 + T cells as well as IFN-γ and TNF-α levels in tumors. Our results provide a rationale for the use of ATRA to suppress MDSCs and enhance anti-PD-L1 cancer immunotherapy in cervical cancer.
类风湿关节炎(rheumatoid arthritis,RA)是一种以侵蚀性关节炎症为主要临床表现的全身性自身免疫性疾病,可以发生于任何年龄[1,2].RA的发病机制目前尚不明确,其基本病理表现为"滑膜炎",并逐渐出现关节软骨和骨破坏,最终导致关节畸形和功能丧失,可并发肺部疾病、心血管疾病、恶性肿瘤、抑郁症等.流行病学显示,我国RA的患病率为0.42%,患者总数约500万[3],男女比约为1∶4[4,5].现代医学并无根治RA的方法,临床多采用非甾体抗炎药、激素、免疫抑制剂等[6].中医药对缓解RA关节及关节外症状、提高临床疗效、改善生活质量等方面具有独特优势[7,8].
BACKGROUND:Enhanced glycolysis occurs in most human cancer cells and is related to chemoresistance. However, detailed mechanisms remain vague.METHODS:Using proteinomics analysis, we found that the glycolytic enzyme Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) was highly expressed in the paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3-TR30, as compared to its parental cell line SKOV3. Cell Counting Kit-8 proliferation experiment, plasmids and siRNA transfection, pyruvic acid and lactic acid production detection, immunofluorescence staining of functional mitochondria and oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate measurement were uesd to assess the glycolytic metabolism and paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer cells. The expression and prognostic effect of PGAM1 in 180 ovarian cancer patients were analyzed.RESULTS:SKOV3-TR30 cells display higher glycolytic flux and lower mitochondrial function than SKOV3 cells. Down-regulation of PGAM1 in SKOV3-TR30 cells resulted in decreased paclitaxel resistance. Up-regulation of PGAM1 in SKOV3 cells led to enhanced paclitaxel resistance. Analysis of the glycolytic flux revealed that PGAM1-mediated pyruvic acid or lactic acid production could modulate the capabilities of ovarian cancer cell resistance to paclitaxel. Our data also show high expression of PGAM1 as significantly correlated with reduced overall survival and reduced progression free survival in ovarian cancer patients.CONCLUSIONS:PGAM1 acts to promote paclitaxel resistance via pyruvic acid and/or lactate production in ovarian cancer cells. Inhibiting PGAM1 may provide a new approach to favorably alter paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer.

Mutations of the thyroid hormone receptor interactor 11 gene (TRIP11, OMIM: 604505) at 14q32.12 have been associated with the autosomal recessive achondrogenesis type IA (ACG1A, OMIM: 200600) or osteochondrodysplasia (ODCD, OMIM: 184260). In this clinical report of a Chinese family, the mother had two consecutive pregnancies with similar aberrant phenotypes in the fetuses showing severe limb shortening. Whole exome sequencing (WES) of DNA from the second fetus identified a heterozygous frameshift mutation (NM_004239: c.3852delT) of TRIP11. Although this was consistent with the fetal clinical phenotypes, initial review of the WES results implied another novel mutation. To test this, we used high-precision clinical exome sequencing (HPCES) and found a mutation in Intron 18 of TRIP11 (c.5457+77T>G). Moreover, the sequencing depth of this mutation was only 3× that of WES compared with 161× that by HPCES. To ascertain the pathogenesis of the mutation (c.5457+77T>G), RT-PCR conducted using the parents' blood samples showed a 77-bp intronic sequence in the transcripts, which might have encoded for a shortened protein because of early termination due to code shifting. Our study furthers current understanding of deep intron function and provides a novel diagnostic method of deep intragenic mutations in families having two or more consecutive pregnancies with similar aberrant fetal phenotypes.
Recent studies have shown that the expression of ENPP1 is related to differentiation, death, dissemination and chemosensitivity of tumor cells. So far, there is no research in ovarian carcinoma. This study aimed at exploring the role of ENPP1 gene in ovarian carcinoma, the relationship with prognostic indicators and chemotherapy resistance, and investigates the possibility of molecular targeted therapy. The expression of ENPP1 in 41 normal ovarian epithelial tissues, 97 ovarian serous cystadenoma and 103 HGSOC tissues was detected by IHC. In ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines, mRNA and protein expression of ENPP1 was determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The ENPP1 expression was knockdowned by siRNA. Cell proliferation was measured with the BrdU Cell Proliferation ELISA. Cell migration and invasion were detected by Wound-Healing, Transwell migration and Matrigel invasion assay. Caspase 3 activity was determined by the CaspACE. The expression of EMT markers such as E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin was measured, and the expression of PCNA and MMP9 was also be detected. The results showed that the expression of ENPP1 was significantly increased in high-grade ovarian serous carcinoma, the number of strong expression was 85.4% (22.3%+63.1%) and only 1.03% (1.03%+0.0%) in serous cystadenoma, but no in normal ovarian epithelium (P< 0.05). And the stronger the expression of ENPP1, the later the FIGO stage and the poorer differentiation of cells (P = 0.001 or <0.001, respectively). However, no correlation was found between the expression of ENPP1 and chemosensitivity. ENPP1 was also highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and in epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines (A2780, CaoV3, OVCAR3, SKOV3 and 3ao). After down-regulation of ENPP1 expression by RNA interference, the cell proliferation, migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cell decreased significantly, the expression of apoptosis related gene caspase 3 increased significantly, while the expression of PCNA and MMP9 was significantly down regulated. In addition, EMT biological characteristics of A2780 and SKOV3 cells were also inhibited. In summary, the increased expression of ENPP1 may be related to the occurrence of HGSOC, and indicate that the disease progresses rapidly and the prognosis is poor. ENPP1 may be considered as a potential molecular therapeutic target.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used successfully to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Qingre Huoxue treatment (Qingre Huoxue decoction (QRHXD)/Qingre Huoxue external preparation (QRHXEP)) is a therapeutic scheme of TCM for RA. To date, there have been few studies comparing the efficacy and safety of QRHXD and conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) for the treatment of active RA. This was investigated in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving 468 Chinese patients with active RA [disease activity score (DAS)-28 > 3.2] treated with QRHXD/QRHXEP (TCM group), methotrexate plus hydroxychloroquine [Western medicine (WM) group], or both [integrative medicine (IM) group]. Patients were followed up for 24 weeks. The primary outcome measure was the change in DAS-28 from baseline to 24 weeks. The secondary outcome measures were treatment response rate according to American College of Rheumatology 20, 50, and 70% improvement criteria (ACR-20/50/70) and the rate of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The trial was registered at (NCT02551575). DAS-28 decreased in all three groups after treatment (p < 0.0001); the score was lowest in the TCM group (p < 0.05), while no difference was observed between the WM and IM groups (p > 0.05). At week 24, ACR-20 response was 73.04% with TCM, 80.17% with WM, and 73.95% with IM (based on the full analysis set [FAS], p > 0.05); ACR-50 responses were 40.87, 47.93, and 51.26%, respectively, (FAS, p > 0.05); and ACR-70 responses were 20.87, 22.31, and 25.21%, respectively, (FAS, p > 0.05). Thus, treatment efficacy was similar across groups based on ACR criteria. On the other hand, the rate of TRAEs was significantly lower in the TCM group compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Thus, QRHXD/QRHXEP was effective in alleviating the symptoms of active RA-albeit to a lesser degree than csDMARDs-with fewer side effects. Importantly, combination with QRHXD enhanced the efficacy of csDMARDs. These results provide evidence that QRHXD can be used as an adjunct to csDMARDs for the management of RA, especially in patients who experience TRAEs with standard drugs.

干燥综合征是一种常见的主要累及人体外分泌腺的免疫病,除口干、眼干等腺体损害相关表现外还可出现呼吸、循环等多系统的损害,严重影响患者的身心健康及生存质量.现代医学对于本病尚无特效治疗,目前临床采用中医治疗本病已屡见不鲜,且取得了较好的疗效反馈.干燥综合征属于中医学"燥痹"范畴,其病机复杂,病情缠绵难愈.周彩云教授根据多年临证经验,提出本病发生发展的重要环节为热气怫郁、玄府闭塞,因此当以"达郁散热、宣通气液"为治疗大法.此外,根据"燥者濡之""脾胃为气血生化之源"提出"养阴生津、运化脾胃"为治疗干燥综合征的第二大法,且在治疗过程中应重视"身心同调",在临证中取得了较为满意的效果.本文拟从"热气怫郁"理论阐述其对于干燥综合征的治疗经验,以期为本病的临床治疗开拓思路.
Background: Paclitaxel, as an anti-microtubule drug, has been recommended to be the first-line chemotherapy agent for ovarian cancer for about two decades. However, most patients with advanced stage relapse within two years and ultimately die of relapsed cancer displaying increased chemoresistance. The mechanisms underlying paclitaxel resistance remain ncompletely understood.Methods: The paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3-TR30 and its parental cell line SKOV3 were analyzed by proteinomics. The glycolytic enzyme PGAM1-modulated glycolytic flux including pyruvic acid production and lactic acid production, and mitochondrial function was investigated using the assays kit. The correlations between PGAM1 expression, overall survival and progression free survival were evaluated for ovarian cancer patients. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms involved in paclitaxel resistance, PGAM1 gene knockout, gene overexpression and/or manipulation of glycolytic products were employed, followed by Western blot, immunostaining, and cell viability assay.Results: PGAM1 was highly expressed in the paclitaxel resistant ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3-TR30, as compared to its parental cell line SKOV3. A high expression of PGAM1 was ignificantly correlated with a reduced overall survival and progression free survival in ovarian cancer patients. Under paclitaxel exposure, SKOV3 cells showed a stronger mitochondrial function than SKOV3-TR30 cells, suggesting that under the stress, SKOV3-TR30 cells had responded with enhanced glycolysis rather than undergoing oxidative phosphorylation. Down-regulation of PGAM1 in SKOV3 TR30 cells resulted in decreased paclitaxel resistance. Up-regulation of PGAM1 in SKOV3 cells led to enhanced paclitaxel resistance. Analysis of the lycolytic flux revealed that PGAM1-mediated pyruvic acid or lactic acid production could control the capabilities of ovarian cancer cell resistance to paclitaxel.Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that PGAM1 could act as a modulator linked to paclitaxel sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells. Blocking PGAM1 may provide a new approach to reverse paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer patients.
