Background: Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor of the upper gastrointestinal tract caused by environmental and genetic factors. Genetic polymorphisms and expression variations of esophageal cancer susceptibility genes are key influencing factors of individual susceptibility to tumors. Due to the insufficient screening of risk factors for esophageal cancer by traditional epidemi-ology, identification of esophageal cancer risks at the molecular level may benefit esophageal cancer prevention and therapy. The p53 gene, Fragile Histidine Triad Diadenosine Triphosphatase (FHIT) gene, P16 gene, mismatch repair gene, and Phospholipase C Epsilon 1 (PLCE1) gene have been heavily studied in recent years given their roles in the genesis and progression of esophageal cancer. Therefore, this paper briefly outlines the significance of esophageal cancer susceptibility gene testing for subsequent treatment, providing a feasible pathway for early diagnosis, prognosis assessment and gene therapy of esophageal cancer.

Let-7 microRNAs have been reported to have tumor suppressive functions; however, the effect of Let-7 when used in combination with chemotherapies is uncertain, but may have potential for use in clinical practice. In this study, we used RT-qPCR, western blot analysis, cell proliferation assay, flow cytometry analysis, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, luciferase assays, cell sorting analysis and xenografted tumor model to explore the role of Let-7 in the chemotherapy sensitivity of breast cancer stem cells. The findings of the current study indicated that Let-7 enhances the effects of endocrine therapy potentially by regulating the self-renewal of cancer stem cells. Let-7c increased the anticancer functions of tamoxifen and reduced the ratio of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs), sensitizing cells to therapy-induced repression in an estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent manner. Notably, Let-7 decreased the tumor formation ability of estrogen-treated breast CSCs in vivo and suppressed Wnt signaling, which further consolidated the previously hypothesis that Let-7 decreases the self-renewal ability, contributing to reduced tumor formation ability of stem cells. The suppressive effects exerted by Let-7 on stem-like cells involved Let-7c/ER/Wnt signaling, and the functions of Let-7c exerted with tamoxifen were dependent on ER. Taken together, the findings identified a biochemical and functional link between Let-7 and endocrine therapy in breast CSCs, which may facilitate clinical treatment in the future using delivery of suppressive Let-7.

To determine the most suitable strategy in treating patients with invasive breast cancer from Northwest China. Lower recurrence score (RS) correlated with lower recurrence ratio. Patients having a medium-high 21-gene RS who received adjuvant therapy presented lower recurrence risk. Younger patients having RS results (⩾31) tended to accept adjuvant therapy more often, however, those having intermediate RS results were inclined to wait and did not receive chemotherapy. These results suggested that RS-based precision medicine will allow individualized diagnosis and treatment, resulting in better outcomes and preserved medical resources.
Objective:To investigate inhibiting Hedgehog signaling activity sensitized triple negative breast cancer cells to Let-7 suppression of proliferation.Methods:In this study,muhiple molecular and biology technologies were used,such as qRT-PCR,Western Blot,immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence,ect,to study the possible roles and implicated mechanisms in vitro and in clinical samples.Results:We found the inhibition of Hedgehog inhibited MDA-MB-231 cells and BT-20 cells' proliferation,and help to sensitize MDA-MB-231 and BT-20 cells to Let-7 induced proliferation inhibition.Let-7 showed no significant effects on the Cyclin D1 level,but its effects were greatly strengthened by Hedgehog pathway inhibitor of cyclopamine.We also found that cyclopamine inhibits the ratio of ALDH1 + cells of both MDA-MB-231 and BT-20 cells,and strengthened the inhibitory effects of Let-7.Conclusion:Hedgehog inhibitor could improve the effects of Let-7 miRNAs in repressing breasts cancer cells proliferation.
Objective To investigate the incidence of biliary complications after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration combined with primary suture in the treatment of patients with common bile duct stones and related risk factors.Methods A total of 134 patients with common bile duct stones who underwent common bile duct exploration combined with primary suture in The First People's Hospital of Xianyang from June 2013 to June 2016 were enrolled,and biliary complications were evaluated according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.A univariate analysis was performed for 13 possible factors for biliary complications after primary suture,the chi-square test was used for comparison between groups,and a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed for the factors screened out in the univariate analysis.Results A total of 12 patients experienced biliary complications after surgery,resulting in an incidence rate of 8.96%;among these patients,8 had bile leakage,2 had residual stones in the bile duct,1 had biliary stricture,and 1 had hematobilia.According to the Clavien-Dindo classification,3 had grade Ⅰ,5 had grade Ⅱ,2 had grade Ⅲa,and 2 had Ⅲb diseases.The univariate analysis showed that postoperative biliarycomplications were associated with plasma albumin level,biliary reoperation,nasobiliary drainage,and surgeon's experience (x2 =4.012,4.942,4.336,and 5.975,all P <0.05),while they were not associated with age,sex,increased bilirubin level,maximum stone diameter,number of stones,medical diseases,gallstones,surgical procedure,and suture method (all P > 0.05).The multivariate analysis showed that biliary reoperation and surgeon's experience were independent risk factors for postoperative biliary complications (x2 =6.448 and 6.842,both P < 0.05).Conclusion There are certain risks of biliary complications after common bile duct exploration combined with primary suture,and biliary leakage is the most common complication,especially in patients undergoing biliary reoperation and when there is a lack of experience in surgeons.
Evaluating the clinicopathological features of patients receiving definitive treatment for esophageal cancer may facilitate the identification of patterns and factors associated with post-operative complications, and enable the development of a surveillance strategy for surviving patients at a higher risk of disease recurrence. In the present study, clinical data from 579 patients with esophageal cancer that underwent radical resection of esophagus were collected. These patients were admitted to two medical centers in Northwest China, and information regarding the presence or absence of basic chronic diseases and post-operative results were retrospectively analyzed. The level of selected stem cell markers, including aldehyde dehydrogenase 1, CD133, integrin subunit α 6, integrin subunit β 4 and T-cell factor-4, were determined in esophageal cancer tissue samples in order to determine whether these markers may be useful predictors of disease prognosis and recurrence. Post-operative complications in patients receiving radical resection of the esophagus included respiratory system complications, cardiovascular abnormalities and esophageal anastomotic fistulae. Diabetes, basic respiratory disease and lower pre-surgical serum albumin levels were observed to be individual risk factors associated with post-operative complications, including respiratory system complications of acute respiratory failure and pulmonary infection, cardiovascular abnormalities of atrial fibrillation and arrhythmia, as well as the development of esophageal anastomotic fistulae. Diagnosis of esophageal cancer at later stage was significantly correlated with anastomotic fistula. Molecular detection of stem cell markers for prognosis prediction was achieved by immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining assays. The results demonstrated that the presence of stem-like cells in cancer tissues was associated with poor disease prognosis and a high recurrence ratio. In conclusion, the results of the current study suggested that post-operative complications were more likely to occur in patients with diabetes, basic respiratory disease or lower serum albumin levels prior to surgery. Therefore, sufficient intensive peri-operative care, rigorous operative risk assessments, and the selection of the patients with early or mid-stage esophageal cancer, may decrease the risk of post-surgical complications in patients receiving radical resection of the esophagus. In addition, a high ratio of esophageal cancer stem-like cells was associated with cancer recurrence. These results suggest that an intensive surveillance strategy should be implemented in order to facilitate early detection of disease recurrence and improve the clinical management of these patients post-surgery.
Lung carcinoma tops the categories of cancer related motility, and has been treated as the main threat to human health. The functions and related mechanism of FBXW7 controlled lung cancer stem cells' signatures is barely unknown, and the miR-367 regulations of FBXW7 via Wnt signaling have not been explored. Cancer stem cells of either ALDH1+ or CD133+ phenotype were found to be referred to advanced stages in patients with NSCLC (non-small cell lung carcinoma). To study the roles of miR-367, we found greater miR-367 level or FBXW7 level was reserved in NSCLC than that of paired adjacent normal tissues, and their upregulations were positively correlated with Wnt signaling activation. On the contrary, increased miR-367 was correlated with Let-7 repression. MiR-367 was related to stronger sphere forming ability in stem cells of NSCLC. We then explored the functions of the endogenous miR-367 in stem-like cells isolated from NSCLC cell lines. In HEK-293 cells, we identified FBXW7 as the direct downstream gene of miR-367, which consequently released the LIN-28 dependent inhibition of suppressive Let-7. Through informatics analysis, miR-367 was predicated to function through Wnt signaling, and decreased Let-7 played the pivotal role to maintain TCF-4/Wnt pathway activity. The reintroduction of FBXW7 abolished the oncogenic stimulation of miR-367 on TCF-4 activity, with Wnt signaling factors depression. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated the oncogenic roles of miR-367 exerting on the self-renewal ability of cancer stem-like cells through degrading the suppressive FBXW7, eventually helping to maintain Wnt signaling activation through a LIN28B/Let-7 dependent manner.
