The nuclear transcription factor twist-related protein 1 (Twist1) is associated with tumor malignant transformation and metastasis in various types of carcinomas. We found that Twist1 was highly expressed in clinical multiple myeloma (MM) cells, and explored its roles in proliferation and apoptosis in human MM cell lines U266 and RPMI-8226. In these cells, Twist1 transcriptionally regulated the miRNA hsa-miR138-5p, which targeted caspase-3 to control apoptosis. Silencing of Twist1 significantly suppressed cell proliferation and increased apoptosis, which was reversed by overexpression of hsa-miR138-5p or simultaneous silencing of caspase-3. This reversion was further substantiated by attenuated apoptotic signaling, including downregulated expression of the cleaved forms of caspase-3 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor 1 (PPAR1). We demonstrate here for the first time that the novel Twist1/hsa-miR138-5p/caspase-3 pathway contributes significantly to the proliferation and survival of human MM cells. Our study provides new insight for novel MM treatments by developing Twist1-targeted therapeutics.

IncRNAs play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. The present study profiled differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) and mRNAs (DEMs) in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to construct a 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT)-DEL-DEM co-expression network in MDS development using the Agilent human BeadChips and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and network analyses. Compared with controls, there were 543 DELs and 2,705 DEMs in MDS patients, among which 285 (52.5%) DELs were downregulated and 258 (47.5%) DELs were upregulated, whereas 1,521 (56.2%) DEMs were downregulated and 1,184 (43.70%) DEMs were upregulated in MDS patients. The ABAT-DEL-DEM co-expression network contained six DELs that were co-expressed with ABAT in MDS. The GO analysis revealed that the co-expression network mainly participated in response to organic cyclic compound, cell proliferation, cell part morphogenesis, regulation of cell proliferation and enzyme-linked receptor protein signaling pathways, while the KEGG database showed that the co-expression network was involved in various pathways, such as phagosome and metabolic pathways. Furthermore, the expression of a selected DEL (lncENST00000444102) and ABAT was shown to be significantly downregulated in MDS patients, and in SKM-1 and THP-1 cells. The selected lncENST00000444102 was then overexpressed and ABAT expression was knocked down in the MDS cell lines using lentiviral transfection. In addition, lncENST00000444102 overexpression reduced the viability and increased the apoptosis of MDS cells, ABAT expression was upregulated by lncENST00000444102.
In our previous study, the 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) gene was screened and selected as a target gene that may affect the prognosis of myelo-dysplastic syndrome (MDS). The present study aimed to determine the prognostic value of ABAT in 152 patients with MDS, 29 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 40 controls, by detecting the expression and methylation levels of the ABAT gene. In patients with MDS, the expression levels of ABAT were significantly reduced compared with in the controls (P<0.0001), and the degree of DNA methylation was increased in MDS subjects (P<0.0001). Age, hemoglobin level, marrow blasts, International Prognostic Scoring System karyotype, and the expression and methylation levels of ABAT were associated with overall survival (OS), as determined by univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that older age, higher marrow blasts and higher methylation percentage were independent risk factors for OS. In addition, a functional study demonstrated that ABAT gene silencing increased cell apoptosis and blocked the G(1)/S phase in SKM-1 and THP-1 human leukemia cells. A -aminobutyrate aminotransferase inhibitor also blocked the G(1)/S phase; however, it had no effect on cell apoptosis. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that ABAT methylation served an essential role in the progression of MDS and therefore may be considered an indicator of poor prognosis for hematological malignancies.

Objective To investigate the quantitative relationship between serum erythropoietin (sEPO)levels and hemoglobin(Hb)in iron deficiency anemia(IDA)patients.Methods A total of 170 patients with mild,moderate and severe IDA were collected.The levels of sEPO and Hb were measured, the correlation between sEPO and Hb levels was analyzed and a regression equation was established. Results In 170 patients with IDA,there was a strong negative correlation between sEPO and Hb (r= -0.810,P<0.001).The regression equation between sEPO and Hb was sEPO=1 084.00-10.68×Hb. In mild IDA group,the correlation between sEPO and Hb was weak(r= -0.313,P=0.010).The regression equation was sEPO=299.30 -2.39 ×Hb and the predictable range was 12.5-84.2 IU/L.In moderate IDA group,sEPO and Hb showed obvious negative correlation(r= -0.519,P<0.001).The regression equation was sEPO =1 063. 07 -11. 25 × Hb and the predictable range was 50. 57-388. 07 IU/L. The correlatio n between sEPO and Hb in severe IDA group was significantly negatively correlated (r= -0.495,P = 0. 006). The regression equation was sEPO = 1 310. 97 - 13. 44 × Hb and the predictable range was 504.57-750.00 IU/L. Conclusion There is a quantitative correlation between sEPO and Hb levels in patients with IDA,which provides evidence for differential diagnosis and treatments by predicting the sEPO level of IDA patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic efficiency of aberrant immunophenotypes by flow cytometry (FCM) and generate a new scoring system of FCM for differential diagnosis between refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD) and aplastic anemia (AA). Methods: This prospective study with immunophenotypes of RCMD (including HRCMD) and AA bone marrows was analyzed by FCM, in a blinded fashion and compared with normal controls, to identify aberrant immunophenotypes. Diagnostic efficiency of aberrant immunophenotypes was evaluated by single and multi-parameter diagnostic tests. Based on comprehensive analysis of the diagnostic values of each aberrant immunophenotype, a new scoring system of FCM was generated. Results: In single parameter diagnostic tests between RCMD and AA, the specificity was 75 similar to 100%, but showed a very low sensitivity from 5.4%-50%. Only the parameters of CD34(+) >= 1% and myeloblasts >= 3% in myeloblasts showed diagnostic significance, with an AUC >0.7. Similar results were observed between HRCMD and AA. In multi-parameter diagnostic tests, the optimal combination was CD34+ cells >= 1%, myeloblasts >= 3% in myeloblasts, and CD117 aberrancy in granulocytes with less parameters and with a comparatively better diagnostic value of sensitivity of 63.1%, specificity of 92.2%, and AUC of 0.79. AUC of the new scoring system of FCM was 0.836 +/- 0.02 (95% CI: 0.79-0.88) for differential diagnosis between RCMD and AA, with 0.8129 +/- 0.03, 95% CI: 0.69-0.86, between HRCMD and AA. Conclusion: The immunophenotypes of CD34+ cells >= 1%, myeloblasts >= 3%, and CD117 aberrant expressions were the most important in differential diagnosis between RCMD and AA. The new scoring system of FCM was an independent predictor for differential diagnosis between RCMD and AA and between HRCMD and AA.
Acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is challenging to diagnose due to frequent myelofibrosis (MF) and a low percentage of blast cells. In the present study, clinical characteristics and experimental observations in 9 adult patients diagnosed with AMKL, who were recruited by the Sino-U.S. Shanghai Leukemia Co-operative Group, were analyzed in order to summarize the diagnostic experience and provide recommendations on diagnosing AMKL. All the patients were diagnosed according to the 2008 World Health Organization diagnostic criteria. The mean age of the patients with AMKL was 59 years (range, 53-68 years). A total of 8 patients had different degrees of anemia, and 2 patients had <5% marrow blasts present in the bone marrow; however, the percentage of positive cells with cluster of differentiation (CD)41 and CD61 expression was >20%, as demonstrated by flow cytometry. A total of 6 patients were positive for platelet-specific antigens, as indicated by immunocytochemistry. Furthermore, 7 patients presented with moderate or marked MF, as demonstrated by a bone marrow biopsy. Karyotypic analysis indicated that 6 patients had abnormal karyotypes. Only 1 patient exhibited the Janus kinase 2V617F mutation. Treatment efficiency was notably poor, with a median survival time of 6.0 months (range, 1.1-24.0 months). In conclusion, the diagnosis of AMKL requires a combination of the results of bone marrow smears and bone marrow biopsy, immunophenotype or immunohistochemistry. We recommend that routine immunophenotypic analysis should include the CD41 and CD61 markers for diagnosing acute leukemia when bone marrow morphology does not indicate the diagnosis.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the predictive value of baseline serum microRNA (miRNA)-125b for nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). A total of 66 patients with Be antigen (HBeAg)-positive CHB received NAs therapy for 144 weeks. Serum miRNA-125b levels were measured at the baseline, while hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were measured throughout treatment. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of treatment response. The results indicated that baseline serum miR-125b (OR=4.377; P=0.006), HBsAg (OR=0.120; P=0.010), ALT >5× upper limit of normal (ULN; OR=11.726; P=0.018) and undetectable HBV DNA at week 24 (OR=7.828; P=0.021) were independent predictors of complete response (CR) at 144 weeks (CR is defined as HBV DNA <500 IU/ml and HBeAg seroconversion). The baseline serum miRNA-125b combined with baseline HBsAg level yielded an area under the receiver-operating curve of 0.852 in discriminating CR and non-CR at 144 week. The combination of baseline miRNA-125b ≥1.7 and ALT >5× ULN had a positive predictive value 80% for CR at 144 weeks. The combination of baseline miRNA-125b ≥1.7 and HbsAg ≤4.4 (log10 IU/ml) had a negative predictive value of CR at 144 weeks of 100%. Together, these results suggest that baseline miRNA-125b is a reliable predictor of HBeAg seroconversion following NAs treatment. The present study may be used as a basis for the use of baseline miRNA-125b to optimize treatment prior to NAs therapy.

OBJECTIVE To establish a myelodysplastic syndrome transformed to leukemia cell line stably expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP), and to evaluate its biological characteristics and applications. METHODS SKM-1 cells were transfected by lentiviral particles with vector of GFP. The GFP positive single cell clone was isolated by limiting dilution and continued being cultured. The cells were injected into mice subcutaneously and were screened in vivo. Then SKM-1/GFP cells were obtained after tumour plaque was separated and cultivated. The cell morphology was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The GFP expression was further detected by flow cytometry. The cell proliferation was analysed by CCK-8 assay. SKM-1/GFP cells were inoculated to subcutaneous tissue of the immunodeficiency mice. The growth and invasion of the tumour were observed after tumour formation. RESULTS No differences in cell morphology and growth characteristics were observed between SKM-1 cells and SKM-1/GFP cells. The rate of GFP expression was 100%. No differences in cell proliferation were observed between SKM-1 cells and SKM-1/GFP cells. The tumour mass was observed after 14 days of subcutaneous vaccination in NOD/SCID mice. Spontaneous fluorescence from plaque was observed by living fluorescence microscopy at 30th day after vaccination. Homogenous GFP positive cells were observed by fluorescence microscopy in the frozen section of tumour mass. The invasion of SKM-1/GFP cells was also detected in heart, liver, stomach and kidney of mice. CONCLUSION A myelody-splastic syndrome transformed to leukemia cell line stably expressing green fluorescent protein has been established successfully, which can track tumor cell sensitively and can be applied to the research of minimal residual leukemia. The establishment of SKM-1/GFP cells may serve as a powerful means for studing myelodysplastic syndrome transformation.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of care bundle on relevant complications and postoperative recovery in patients with traumatic brain injury during nasal feeding. Methods: One hundred and sixty patients with traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into intervention group (I Group) and control group (C group) with 80 cases in each one. The I Group patients were treated with some care bundle measures: adjusting patients' position before nasal feeding, increasing the supply step by step and performing moderate massage after nasal feeding, while the C Group adopted the routine care. The incidence of complications, conditions of clinical recovery, nutritional status and satisfaction degree of care during nasal feeding were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: The overall incidence of complications during nasal feeding, such as vomiting, diarrhea, food reflux, constipation, gastric retention and tube slippage, in I Group was lower than that in C Group (P < 0.001). The number of cured patients in I Group was more than that in C Group, and the number of patients that did not response to the care in I Group was less than that in C Group. The overall effective rate of clinical recovery in I Group was 96.25%, which was better than that in C Group (P=0.004). The nutritional status of patients in I Group was better than that in the C Group after the care (P < 0.001). The overall satisfaction degree of care in I Group was 87.50%, which was higher than that in C Group (60%, P < 0.001). Conclusion: By applying care bundle to patients with traumatic brain injury, incidence of complications of nasal feeding can be decreased, recovery ability of patients can be strengthened, nutritional status of patients can be improved and the satisfaction degree of patients can be increased.
A multi-center study from the French Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Group confirmed that iron chelation therapy is an independent prognostic factor that can increase the survival rate of patients who are suffering from transfusion-dependent low-risk MDS. In this study, we aimed to explore this clinical phenomena in vitro, by exploring the synergistic effect of the iron chelator Deferasirox (DFX) and the DNA methyl transferase inhibitor Decitabine (DAC) in the leukemia cell lines SKM-1, THP-1, and K-562. Treatment with both DFX or DAC promoted apoptosis, induced cell cycle arrest, and inhibited proliferation in all three of these cell lines. The combination of DFX and DAC was much greater than the effect of using either drug alone. DFX showed a synergistic effect with DAC on cell apoptosis in all three cell lines and on cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in K-562 cells. DFX decreased the ROS levels to varying degrees. In contrast, DAC increased ROS levels and an increase in ROS was also noted when the two drugs were used in combination. Treatment of cells with DAC induced re-expression of ABAT, APAF-1, FADD, HJV, and SMPD3, presumably through demethylation. However the combination of DAC and DFX just had strong synergistic effect on the re-expression of HJV.
