Background Radioresistance is a major challenge during the treatment of NK/T cell lymphoma. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of MicroRNA-150 (miR-150) in increase the sensitivities of NK/T cell lymphoma to ionizing radiation. Results In this study, we found that miR-150 was significantly decreased in NK/T cell lymphoma tissues and cell lines. Low expression of miR-150 was positively associated with therapeutic resistance in 36 NK/T cell lymphoma cases. Our further in vitro and in vivo studies illustrated that overexpression of miR-150 substantially enhanced the sensitivity of NK/T cell lymphoma cells to ionizing radiation treatment. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assays in NK/T cell lymphoma cells transfected with the AKT2 or AKT3 three prime untranslated region reporter constructs established AKT2 and AKT3 as direct targets of miR-150. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 was used to inhibit Akt to verify miR-150 increase NK/T cell lymphoma cell radiorsensitivity through suppress the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Conclusions Taken together, this study demonstrates that miR-150 might serve as a potential therapeutic sensitizer through inhibition of the AKT pathway in NK/T cell lymphoma treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of blocking TCR-CD3 and B7-CD28 signals on immune function of mice with chronic GVHD by using TJU103 and CTLA4-Ig.METHODS:On the basis of foregoing murine model of chronic GVHD, according to interference modes after infusion 6×107 spleen cells of donor mice, the recipients were divided into 5 groups: blank control, cGVHD, TJU103 interference, CTLA4-Ig interference and TJU103+CTLA4-Ig interference groups. The score of clinical manifestation and tissue histopathology were used to evaluate the effects of all the interferences on chronic GVHD.RESULTS:TJU103 and CTLA4-Ig could not influence the formation of the mouse chimera. The analysis of Kaplan survival curve of mice with chronic GVHD showed that the CTLA4-Ig and TJU103+CTLA4-Ig reduced the incidence of chronic GVHD, the TJU103 could delay the occurrence of chronic GVHD, but all the interference factors could not change the severity of chronic GVHD.CONCLUSION:TJU103 can delay the onset time of chronic GVHD, and the CTLA4-Ig can reduce the incidences of cGVHD, the combining use of TJU103 and CTLA4-Ig can significantly reduce the incidence of chronic GVHD, but can not change the severity of chronic GVHD.
Objective:To investigate the expression of MicroRNA-150 (miR-150) in NK/T cell lymphoma tissues and its effect on radio-sensitivity of NK-92 cells.Methods:Thirty-six patients with NK/T cell lynphoma that treated in Zhujiang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University were included as study subjects,and their tissue samples were collected.All the patients received similar radiotherapy,and the short-term efficacy was evaluated by the standard of International Workgroup (IWG) of Lymphoma.The patients were further divided into CR (complete remission) group and Non-CR (non-complete remission) group according the treatment efficacy.The miR-150 expression in lymphoma tissues and NK/T cell lymphoma cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR.The NK-92 cells were then transfected with miR-150 mimics.The effect of miR-150 mimics on NK-92 cell radiosensitivity was analyzed by MTT and colony formation assay;effect of miR-150 mimics on radiation induced apoptosis of NK-92 cells were analyzed by Flow Cytometry;and the effect of miR-150 mimics on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Caspase 3 and PARP) in NK-92 cells was determined by Western blotting.Results:According to IWG criteria,12 patients had CR while the other 24 patients had Non-CR.Compared with CR group,the microRNA-150 level in NonCR group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the normal sCD3-CD56+ NK cells,miR-150 was significantly lower in NK/T cell lymphoma tissues (9.10 ±0.19 vs 4.01± 0.22 P<0.01) and five NK/T cell lymphoma cell lines (P<0.05);over-expression of miR-150 significantly decreased the proliferation and colony formation of NK-92 cells (all P<0.01),and increased the sensitivity enhancement ratio (SER) after radiation (the SER was 5.375 after 10 Gy exposure;in addition,over-expressions of miR-150 significantly promoted the radiation-induced apoptosis of NK-92 cells [(37.3± 1.24)% vs (28.3±2.34)%,P<0.05],and promoted the protein expression of caspase 3 and PARP in NK-92 cells.Conclusion:miR-150 expression significantly decreased in both NK/T cell lymphoms tissues and cell lines.The patients of low miR-150 expression had low CR after radiotherapy.miR-150 mimics transfection promoted radiation-induced apoptosis of NK-92 cells.miR-150 has an enhancement effect on radio-sensitivity of NK/T cell lynphoma.
Multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MTKIs) have been shown to combine with natural killer (NK) cell adoptive transfer for the treatment in various cancers. MTKIs sensitize cancer cells to NK cell therapy through upregulation of nature killer group 2 member D ligands (NKG2DLs) on tumor cells. However, the molecular mechanism of MTKIs-mediated upregulation of NKG2DLs is still unknown. In this study, we confirmed sunitinib induced downregulation of its targets, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and c-kit in multiple-drug–resistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE2/DDP and hepatoma cell line HepG2. Then, we further showed sunitinib induced cell proliferation inhibition, apoptosis, and DNA damage in CNE2/DDP and HepG2 cells. Coculture experiments showed that sunitinib-treated CNE2/DDP and HepG2 cells were able to increase the activation and cytotoxicity of NK cells. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction results showed that sunitinib upregulated NKG2DLs, apoptotic genes, DNA damage repair genes, and nuclear factor (NF)-κβ family genes. Silencing of NF-κβ1, NF-κβ2, or RelB (NF-κβ pathway) inhibited sunitinib-induced upregulation of NKG2DLs. Taken together, we concluded that sunitinib upregulated NKG2DLs through NF-κβ signaling noncanonical pathway which might mediate higher cytotoxic sensitivity of CNE2/DDP and HepG2 cells to NK cells.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of arsenic trioxide combined with itraconazole on proliferation and apoptosis of KG1a cells and its potential mechanism.METHODS:The cell morphology was observed with Wrighe-Giemsa staining; cell survival rate was examined by CCK-8; and colony formation capacity was measured by methylcellulose colony formation test; the flow cytometry was used to analyse the cell apoptosis rate and cell cycle; the protein expressions of BCL-2,caspase-3,BAX,SMO,Gli1 and Gli2 were detected by Western-blot.RESULTS:The arsenic trioxide and itraconazole alone both could inhibit the KG1a cell proliferation in dose-and time-dependent manner. In comparison between single and combined drug-treatment group, both the cell survival rate and the colony number of the single drug-treatment group were significantly lower(P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate was higher in the combined drug-treatment group. In the combined-treatment group, the protein expression of Caspase-3 and BAX was upregulated, while the protein expression of BCL-2,SMO,Gli1 and Gli2 was downregulated.CONCLUSION:Arsenic trioxide combined with itraconazole can inhibit the KG1a cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, which may be related with the inhibition of Hh signaling pathway and upregulation of both Caspase-3 and BAX protein expression, and provided experimental data of arsenic trioxide combined with itraconazole for the treatment of refractory AML.
Objective For providing experimental platform of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD),to establish a mouse model by haplo-identical spleen cell infusion.Methods The donor male mice (Balb/cH-2d) and the recipient (Balb/c C57BL/6) F1 H2-d/b (CB6F1) female mice were randomly divided into four groups:3 experimental groups injected with 3 107,6 107 and 9 107 spleen cells,respectively,while the control group received RPMI 1640 solution.H-2d and H-2b were checked to analyze the chimerism in bone marrow cells.Body mass,figure,cutaneous manifestation and survival of recipient mice were observed and scored every 3 days.Pathologic changes of target organs were observed and scored.Results Injection of 6 107 and 6 107 splenocytes in the recipient mice resulted in a chronic disease with a low level of parental cell engraftment steadily.As compared with 3 107 group,the incidence of cGVHD in 6 107 and 9 107 groups were significantly increased (P <0.01).But there was no significant difference between 6 107 and 9 107 groups (P>0.05).Conclusion A murine model of cGVHD after haplo-identical spleen cell infusion of donor is successfully established by injection of 6 107 and 9 107 spleen cells.

There are few reports with respect to the details of acute effects(during and following RT) of ionizing radiation in liver tissue in epidemiology, pathology, physiology and imageology. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the diagnostic value of 2-[ 18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography([ 18 F]-FDG-PET/CT) in the detection of acute radiation toxicity in normal liver using Tibet minipigs as a model. Thirty-six male Tibetan minipigs were randomly divided into six groups(n ? 6). The irradiation groups were treated with a single dose of 2; 5; 8; 11 and 14 Gy total body irradiation using an 8-MV X-ray linac, at dose rate of 255 c Gy/min. The control group was not irradiated. The pigs were evaluated with [18F]-FDG-PET/CT, and their alanine aminotransferase(AST) and aspartate aminotransferase(ALT) activities and the ALT/AST ratio, INRatio and bilirubin were measured on Day 7 post-TBI. All pigs were killed on Day 7 post-TBI to collect liver tissues for pathological examination. The results showed that liver standardized uptake value(SUV) increased with the dose from 2 to 11 Gy and decreased suddenly at 14 Gy. HAI score showed a radiation dose-dependent increase of 2–11 Gy and was positively correlated with SUV(p\0:05). However,HAI score showed no correlation with liver function.Therefore, we concluded that [ 18 F]-FDG-PET/CT has the potential to assess acute radiation-induced hepatic injury on early stage.
BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels have low immunogenicity and can induce immune tolerance. At present, the mechanism of immune regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels is not completely understood. It has been rarely reported whether the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the thymus after transplantation. <br> OBJECTIVE:To observe the distribution and survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels in the thymus of aging rats after transplantation. <br> METHODS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels cultured in vitrowere transfected by adenovirus vectors expressing green fluorescent protein. Transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were injected into the portal vein of aging rats. At days 3, 7, 14, 21 after transplantation, the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels homing to the thymus was observed under fluorescence microscope. At day 3 after transplantation, thymus tissues were taken and stained with hematoxylin-eosin for pathological observation. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Green fluorescent protein-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels had a strong green fluorescence at days 3 and 7 after transplantation, and the cel contour was clear. There was no significant difference in the mean absorbance values at days 3 and 7 (P> 0.05). Expression of green fluorescent protein was weakened significantly at days 14 and 21 compared with that at day 3 (P < 0.05). At 3 days after transplantation, the transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were clearly visible in the thymus, and acute rejection was not observed. The results show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the damaged thymus tissue through the blood circulation, and can survive at least 1 week.
There are few reports with respect to the details of acute effects (during and following RT) of ionizing radiation in liver tissue in epidemiology, pathology, physiology and imageology. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the diagnostic value of 2-[\({}^{18}\hbox {F}\)]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography ([\({}^{18}\hbox {F}\)]-FDG-PET/CT) in the detection of acute radiation toxicity in normal liver using Tibet minipigs as a model. Thirty-six male Tibetan minipigs were randomly divided into six groups (\(n = 6\)). The irradiation groups were treated with a single dose of \(2, 5, 8, 11 \hbox { and } 14 \hbox { Gy}\) total body irradiation using an 8-MV X-ray linac, at dose rate of \(255 \hbox { cGy/min}\). The control group was not irradiated. The pigs were evaluated with [\({}^{18}\hbox {F}\)]-FDG-PET/CT, and their alanine aminotransferase (AST) and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) activities and the ALT/AST ratio, INRatio and bilirubin were measured on Day 7 post-TBI. All pigs were killed on Day 7 post-TBI to collect liver tissues for pathological examination. The results showed that liver standardized uptake value (SUV) increased with the dose from 2 to 11 Gy and decreased suddenly at \(14 \hbox { Gy}\). HAI score showed a radiation dose-dependent increase of 2–11 Gy and was positively correlated with SUV (\(p<0.05\)). However, HAI score showed no correlation with liver function. Therefore, we concluded that [\({}^{18}\hbox {F}\)]-FDG-PET/CT has the potential to assess acute radiation-induced hepatic injury on early stage.
Low response, treatment-related complications and relapse due to the low sensitivity of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and leukemia stem cells (LSCs) or pre-LSCs to arsenic trioxide (ATO), represent the main problems following treatment with ATO alone in patients with MDS. To solve these problems, a chemosensitization agent can be applied to increase the susceptibility of these cells to ATO. Curcumin (CUR), which possesses a wide range of anticancer activities, is a commonly used chemosensitization agent for various types of tumors, including hematopoietic malignancies. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxic effects and potential mechanisms in MDS-SKM-1 and leukemia stem-like KG1a cells treated with CUR and ATO alone or in combination. CUR and ATO exhibited growth inhibition detected by MTT assays and apoptosis analyzed by Annexin V/PI analyses in both SKM-1 and KG1a cells. Apoptosis of SKM-1 and KG1a cells determined by Annexin V/PI was significantly enhanced in the combination groups compared with the groups treated with either agent alone. Further evaluation was performed by western blotting for two hallmark markers of apoptosis, caspase-3 and cleaved-PARP. Co-treatment of the cells with CUR and ATO resulted in significant synergistic effects. In SKM-1 and KG1a cells, 31 and 13 proteins analyzed by protein array assays were modulated, respectively. Notably, survivin protein expression levels were downregulated in both cell lines treated with CUR alone and in combination with ATO, particularly in the latter case. Susceptibility to apoptosis was significantly increased in SKM-1 and KG1a cells treated with siRNA-survivin and ATO. These results suggested that CUR increased the sensitivity of SKM-1 and KG1a cells to ATO by downregulating the expression of survivin.
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and a major cause of nonrelapse mortality after allo-HSCT. A conditioning regimen plays a pivotal role in the development of aGVHD. To provide a platform for studying aGVHD and evaluating the impact of different conditioning regimens, we established a murine aGVHD model that simulates the clinical situation and can be conditioned with Busulfan-Cyclophosphamide (Bu-Cy) and Fludarabine-Busulfan (Flu-Bu). In our study, BALB/c mice were conditioned with Bu-Cy or Flu-Bu and transplanted with 2 × 107 bone marrow cells and 2 × 107 splenocytes from either allogeneic (C57BL/6) or syngeneic (BALB/c) donors. The allogeneic recipients conditioned with Bu-Cy had shorter survivals (P < 0.05), more severe clinical manifestations, and higher hepatic and intestinal pathology scores, associated with increased INF-γ expression and diminished IL-4 expression in serum, compared to allogeneic recipients conditioned with Flu-Bu. Moreover, higher donor-derived T-cell infiltration and severely impaired B-cell development were seen in the bone marrow of mice, exhibiting aGVHD and conditioned with Flu-Bu. Our study showed that the conditioning regimen with Bu-Cy resulted in more severe aGVHD while the Flu-Bu regimen was associated with more extensive and long standing bone marrow damage.

Objective To analyze the relationship between cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and leukemia relapse after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT).Methods A total of 61 patients diagnosed as hematological malignancies undergoing haplo-HSCT were analyzed retrospectively in our center.Results In the cohort,36 patients had CMV reactivation after haplo-HSCT.The 100-day cumulative incidence of CMV reactivation was 59%.Compared with that in patients without CMV reactivation after transplantation,the incidence of leukemia relapse was lower in patients with CMV reactivation (16.9% vs 40.0%,P =0.034).The correlation of CMV reactivation and decreased relapse rate was only found in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (P =0.019).In multivariate analysis,relapsed disease status before transplant was a significant negative predictor of overall survival (OS) and relapse after transplant (RR was 2.866 and 3.331 respectively).CMV reactivation after transplant had a protective effect on disease relapse (RR =0.300,P =0.047).Conclusions The rate of CMV reactivation after haplo-HSCT is high.CMV reactivation may reduce risk of relapse in patients diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia undergoing haplo-HSCT.However,CMV reactivation is one of the important predictors of non-relapse death after transplant,active anti-viral treatment is still needed.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common disorder in the elderly. Although remarkable progress has been made over recent decades, the outcome remains poor. Thus, the development of a more effective method to overcome this problem is necessary. In this study, we aimed to investigate the synergistic cytotoxic effect of low-dose arsenic trioxide (As2O3) combined with aclacinomycin A (ACM) on the human AML cell lines KG-1a and HL-60, and to clarify the underlying mechanism. Results showed that As2O3 combined with ACM exerted a synergistic cytotoxic effect by activation of the apoptosis pathway. Additionally, we found that the combination treatment decreased Bcl-2, c-IAP and XIAP expression but increased SMAC and caspase-3 expression more significantly than the single drug treatments. Furthermore, combination index (CI) values were < 1 in all matched combination groups. Additional evaluation of As2O3 combined with ACM as a potential therapeutic benefit for AML seems warranted.
