The application of Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) for classifying Whole Slide Images (WSIs) has gained extensive use in recent years, primarily due to the high cost and time consumption associated with pixel-level annotation of WSIs, which is challenging to accomplish. The advancements in MIL for WSIs have predominantly concentrated on two fronts: the development of superior feature extractors (for instance, utilizing self-supervised learning for training feature extractors) and the formulation of enhanced instance aggregation strategies. Regrettably, the majority of the most advanced approaches have neglected phenotypic variances among instances when employing attention mechanisms. To capitalize on the disparities between instance tissues, we have introduced a phenotypic self-distillation approach to MIL. Our framework is composed of three components: i) a self-supervised feature extractor based on contrastive learning and a phenotype extractor pre-trained on the Kather100K dataset, which automatically provides 9-class tissue phenotype labels (e.g., tumor epithelium, stroma, lymphocytes) without requiring manual annotation, ii) the incorporation of a self-distillation loss between the features of instances and their phenotypes to augment the informational content of both perspectives, and iii) the aggregation of MIL instances for the final MSI prediction. The efficacy of this framework was evaluated on two datasets: the TCGA-CRC dataset was used for training and internal testing with a fixed 70%/30% split, while the Tangshan People's Hospital cohort served as an independent external validation set. On the TCGA-CRC dataset (n = 360; 65 MSI-H, 295 MSS), our model achieved an AUC of 0.8846 and an accuracy of 0.84, using a fixed 70%/30% train-test split. On the Tangshan People's Hospital dataset (n = 472; 56 MSI-H, 426 MSS), the model attained an AUC of 0.7258 and an accuracy of 0.70.
Protein immunotherapies can elicit potent tumor rejection, but reversible target engagement, incomplete tumor retention, and systemic leakage often erode spatial control. Here, we develop covalently anchored tumor immunotherapeutic proteins (CATIPs), a modular platform that uses proximity-enabled covalent chemistry to immobilize immune cues on tumor-cell surfaces after intratumoral administration. CATIPs combine tumor-targeting nanobodies with payloads for T cell engagement, co-stimulation, and cytokine support. In human PBMC-reconstituted NSG mice, CATIPs completely eradicated treated EGFR-positive tumors, outperforming matched noncovalent proteins while limiting redistribution, systemic T cell activation, cytokine release, xGVHD-associated morbidity, and on-target, off tumor toxicity. In immunocompetent melanoma models, CATIPs remodeled the tumor microenvironment, expanded antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, induced antigen-restricted abscopal control, and generated durable protection against local and metastatic rechallenge. CATIP-engineered tumor cells further functioned as whole-cell vaccines. Thus, covalent tumor anchoring converts local protein delivery into tumor-surface immune programming, enabling systemic, tumor-specific, durable antitumor immunity while limiting systemic immunopathology.
M2 macrophages constitute a major stromal component of gastric cancer (GC) and actively contribute to tumor progression through angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Our previous study identified CD44 variant 9 (CD44v9) expression in cytokeratin-negative stromal compartments as a marker with diagnostic and prognostic significance in gastric adenocarcinoma (GA); however, its cellular localization within the tumor microenvironment and functional relevance remain unclear. In this study, public single-cell RNA sequencing datasets from the Human Protein Atlas were analyzed to characterize CD44 expression across gastric tissue cell populations. Multiplex immunofluorescence was performed to validate the spatial distribution of CD44v9-positive cells in clinical GA specimens. CD44v9 expression was predominantly enriched in macrophages and showed significant co-localization with stromal M1 macrophages (CD68+CD86+CD163−), M2 macrophages (CD68+CD86−CD163+), and regulatory T (Treg) cells (CD3+CD4+FOXP3+CD8−). Functionally, CD44v9 was overexpressed in THP-1-derived M2 macrophages through lentiviral transduction, and these modified cells retained their inherent M2 macrophage phenotype. CD44v9 overexpression significantly enhanced TNF-α secretion (P < 0.05), without affecting IL-6 production (P > 0.05). In a co-culture system, CD44v9 overexpression M2 macrophages markedly promoted GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. These pro-tumorigenic effects were accompanied by EMT induction, characterized by decreased E-cadherin and increased N-cadherin and Vimentin (all P < 0.05) expression, along with elevated MMP2 and MMP9 (P < 0.05) levels in AGS cells. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that CD44v9 expression in stromal M2 macrophages promotes a pro-tumorigenic phenotype, possibly through TNF-α-mediated tumor-stroma crosstalk, thereby promoting EMT and enhancing cancer cell aggressiveness. CD44v9 expressed by M2 macrophages may represent a promising biomarker and therapeutic target in GA development.
Background Metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) is a novel oncogene involved in the growth and metastasis of tumors, which is overexpression in various tumors. MACC1 could promote the growth, invasion, and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) by activating the HGF/MET signaling pathway in vivo . It has been confirmed that MACC1 mainly promotes the Warburg effect in gastric cancer cells through the PI3 K/AKT signaling pathway. Objective Here, we mainly investigated the association between MACC1 and the glycolysis process in CRC cells. Methods The expression of MACC1 in CRC and its relationship with the patient's survival were analyzed by TCGA database. We used different concentrations of glucose medium to culture HT-29 and HCT-116 with or without siMACC1. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation. The content of lactic acid and glucose in cells was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and extracellular acidification rate was also determined with Seahorse XFe96 Extracellular Flux Analyzer. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions related to glycolysis. Immunofluorescence was conducted to observe the expression and distribution of GLUT4. Results In this study, we observed that MACC1 was highly expressed in CRC and negatively correlated with the survival of patients. The expression of glycolysis related enzymes was significantly increased under the stimulation of different concentrations of glucose in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells. However, MACC1 knockdown could significantly reduce high glucose-induced the expressions of glycolysis-related enzymes. Besides, MACC1 knockdown could decrease the content of glucose and lactate, and inhibit glycolytic function in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells. Moreover, the expression of GLUT4 was significantly decreased in the two cell lines treated by 4.5 g/L or 9.0 g/L glucose with MACC1 knockdown. Additionally, MACC1 knockdown could inhibit high glucose-induced membrane translocation of GLUT4. Conclusions MACC1 knockdown can attenuate glucose metabolism by inhibiting the membrane translocation of GLUT4 in CRC cells.
Recent studies indicate that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are crucial in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3 (EIF4A3) has been identified as a promoter of circRNA production. The biological roles and mechanisms of EIF4A3-derived circRNA (circEIF4A3) in CRC cell autophagy remain poorly understood. This study explores the effects of circEIF4A3 on CRC cell growth and autophagy, aiming to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. We discovered that EIF4A3 and circEIF4A3 synergistically enhance CRC cell growth. CircEIF4A3 sequesters miR-3126–5p, consequently upregulating EIF4A3. Further, circEIF4A3 increases EIF4A3 expression, which promotes autophagy by stabilizing ATG5 mRNA and enhances ATG7 protein stability through the stabilization of USP14 mRNA, a deubiquitinating enzyme. Upregulation of ATG5 and ATG7 counteracts the growth-inhibitory effects of EIF4A3 knockdown on CRC cells. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that EIF4A3 induces the formation of circEIF4A3 in CRC cells. In conclusion, a positive feedback loop between circEIF4A3 and EIF4A3 supports CRC cell growth by facilitating autophagy.
Phosphorus fluoride exchange (PFEx), recently debuted in small molecules, represents the forefront of click chemistry. To explore PFEx's potential in biological settings, we developed amino acids phosphoramidofluoridate tyrosine (PFY) and phosphoramidofluoridate lysine (PFK) featuring phosphoramidofluoridates and incorporated them into proteins through genetic code expansion. PFY/PFK selectively reacted with nearby His, Tyr, Lys, or Cys in proteins, both in vitro and in living cells, demonstrating that proximity enabled PFEx reactivity without external reagents. The reaction with His showed unique pH -dependent properties and created thermally sensitive linkages. Additionally, Na 2 SiO 3 enhanced PFEx reactions with Tyr and Cys. PFEx, by generating defined covalent P-N/O linkages, extends the utility of phosphorus linkages in proteins, aligning with nature's use of phosphate connectors in other biomolecules. More versatile and durable than sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx), PFEx in proteins expands the latent bioreactive arsenal for covalent protein engineering and will facilitate the broad application of this potent click chemistry in biological and biomedical fields.
The specificity and sensitivity of the current diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for gastric cancer (GC) are limited. The present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of cluster-of-differentiation gene 44 variant isoform 9 (CD44v9) and T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (TIM3) expression levels alone or combined in the tumor tissues of patients with GC and reveal the roles of CD44v9 and TIM3 in the cytokeratin (CK)(+) and CK- regions. Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was performed for CD44v9, TIM3 and CK using a tissue microarray. The tissues were divided into three regions based on CK expression: Total, CK+, and CK- regions. The diagnostic and prognostic value was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. The results demonstrated that the density of cells expressing CD44v9, TIM3 and co-expressing CD44v9 and TIM3 (CD44v9/TIM3) in both the CK+ and CK- regions of tumor tissues was significantly higher than those in normal tissues (P<0.001). Moreover, the expression of CD44v9 in the CK- region was significantly positively correlated with age and tumor grade (P<0.05), and the expression of CD44v9/TIM3 in the CK- region of tumor tissues was significantly positively correlated with age, tumor grade and metastasis (P<0.05). Furthermore, the area under the curve for TIM3 expression in the CK+ region was 0.709, with a sensitivity of 45.83% and a specificity of 85.54% (P<0.001). High expression of CD44v9 in the CK- region was also significantly associated with poor survival and independently predicted a poor prognosis in patients with GC (hazard ratio, 2.387; 95% confidence interval, 1.384-4.118; P<0.01). In conclusion, dividing tissue regions based on CK expression is important for the diagnosis of GC. The expression of TIM3 in the CK+ region demonstrated diagnostic potential for GC, and high expression of CD44v9 in the CK- region was an independent prognostic risk factor for patients with GC.
Objective To investigate the effect of Huangkui Capsules on urinary albumin excretion rate and oxidative stress in patients with early diabetic kidney disease. Methods A total of 60 patients with stage Ⅳ diabetic nephropathy admitted and diagnosed in Tangshan People’s Hospital of Hebei Province from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study objects. They were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, with 30cases in each group. The control group was treated with Valsartan 80 mg once a day, and the observation group was treated with Huangkui Capsules three times a day on the basis of the control group, and observed for sie mouths weeks. The clinical efficacy, urinary protein excretion rate(UARE), blood creatinine(SCr), blood β2-microglobulin(β2-MG), blood superoxide dismutase(SOD), blood malondialdehyde(MDA) and blood glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment, UAER, blood β2-MG, Scr and MDA in two groups were lower than those before treatment, GSH-PX and SOD were higher than before treatment, and UAER, bloodβ2-MG, Scr and MDA in observation group were lower than control group, while GSH-PX and SOD in observation group were higher than control group, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Huangkui Capsules adjuvant treatment can effectively reduce the levels of UARE, β2-MG and Scr in patients with diabetic kidney disease. The mechanism may be that Huangkui Capsules can inhibit oxidative stress by reducing serum MDA, and increasing SOD and GSH-PX, so as to exert renal protective effect.
Background Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) events could be viewed as prognostic indicators in a large number of malignancies. This study aims to identify prognostic AS events, illuminate the function of the splicing variants biomarkers and provide reliable evidence for formulating public health strategies for gastric cancer (GC) surveillance. Methods RNA-Seq data, clinical information and percent spliced in (PSI) values were available in The cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and TCGA SpliceSeq data portal. A three-step regression method was conducted to identify prognostic AS events and construct multi-AS-based signatures. The associations between prognostic AS events and splicing factors were also investigated. Results We identified a total of 1,318 survival-related AS events in GC, parent genes of which were implicated in numerous oncogenic pathways. The final prognostic signatures stratified by seven types of AS events or not stratified performed well in risk prediction for GC patients. Moreover, five signatures based on AA, AD, AT, ES and RI events function as independent prognostic indicators after multivariate adjustment of other clinical variables. Splicing network also showed marked correlation between the expression of splicing factors and PSI value of AS events in GC patients. Conclusion Our findings provide a landscape of AS events and regulatory network in GC, indicating that AS events might serve as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GC.

circRNAs have been considered as a rising factor in cancers. However, the roles and mechanisms of circ-sirt1 in gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that the expressions of sirt1 and circ-sirt1 are decreased in tissues or serums of GC patients by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The expressions of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p showed an opposite tendency in these samples. The co-transfection of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p mimics counteracted the enhancement of sirt1 expression induced by circ-sirt1. The results of cell colony-formation assay and transwell assays demonstrated that the proliferation, migration, and invasion activities of BGC-823 cells were inhibited by circ-sirt1 overexpression or miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p knockdown, respectively. The xenograft tumor model result indicated that the circ-sirt1 overexpression suppressed the tumor growth of BGC-823 cells. The regulation of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p between circ-sirt1 and sirt1 was verified in the mice tumor tissues. Thus, circ-sirt1 inhibited tumor growth and invasion probably by sponging miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p and upregulating sirt1 expression in GC. These findings may provide a theoretical basis for the classification of GC and a novel therapeutic target for GC patients.
circRNAs have been considered as a rising factor in cancers. However, the roles and mechanisms of circ-sirt1 in gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that the expressions of sirt1 and circ-sirt1 are decreased in tissues or serums of GC patients by real-time 24 quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The expressions of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p showed an opposite 25 tendency in these samples. The co-transfection of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p mimics counteracted the 26 enhancement of sirt1 expression induced by circ-sirt1. The results of cell colony-formation assay and Transwell assays demonstrated that the proliferation, migration, and invasion activities of 28 BGC-823 cells were inhibited by circ-sirt1 overexpression or miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p knockdown, 29 respectively. The xenograft tumor model result indicated that the circ-sirt1 overexpression 30 suppressed the tumor growth of BGC-823 cells. The regulation of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p 31 between circ-sirt1 and sirt1 was verified in the mice tumor tissues. Thus, circ-sirt1 inhibited tumor 32 growth and invasion probably by sponging miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p and upregulating sirt1 33 expression in GC. These findings may provide a theoretical basis for the classification of GC and a novel therapeutic target for GC patients. those the tissues and healthy subjects, respectively. These results demonstrated that sirt1 and circ-sirt1 are both lower expressed in GC tissues than in the noncancerous tissues, and the level of circ-sirt1 in serums from GC patients is lower than that noted from the healthy subjects. The data suggested that The data confirmed the anti-tumor function of circ-sirt1 and its downstream mechanism of miR-132-3p, miR-212-3p and sirt1 in mice model. The present work demonstrates that circ-sirt1 and sirt1 levels were decreased in tissues and serums of patients with GC, while miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p expressions show an opposite tendency in the GC patients. The miR-132-3p and miR-212-3p were downregulated in GC cells with circ-sirt1 overexpression, while sirt1 was upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels. The co-transfection of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p mimics counteracted the enhanced expression of sirt1 induced by circ-sirt1 overexpression in BGC-823 cells. The circ-sirt1 was identified as a candidate from the sirt1 host gene in the human genome in our previous study, which expression is decreased during neointimal formation and acts as a novel biomarker of atherosclerosis. The circ-sirt1 could promote sirt1 expression mediating by miR-132/212. The present study found that circ-sirt1 acted as a suppressor in proliferation, migration and invasion in GC cells by sponging miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p to regulate the expression of sirt1. These suggested a similar function of circ-sirt1 in vascular smooth muscle cells and Glandular epithelial cells of stomach. However, if there is a positive feedback loop between circ-sirt1 and sirt1 in GC, as well as the expression and role of circ-sirt1 in other cancers, still need to be clarified in future study. to the enhancement of miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p induced by circ-sirt1. Overexpression circ-sirt1 suppressed the cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo . Our findings provide new sights into a novel molecular and the signaling of circ-sirt1/miR-132-3p/miR-212-3p/ sirt1 in GC development. in 293T cells was verified by RT-qPCR. C) The circ-sirt1 expressions in GES-1, AGS-1 and BGC-823 cells were analyzed by RT-qPCR, with GAPDH as internal control. D) The levels of circ-sirt1 in BGC-823 cells transfected with circ-sirt1 plasmid or vector were detected by RT-qPCR. GAPDH was used as the housekeeping gene. E) The protein levels of sirt1 were detected by Western blot with GAPDH as internal control. F) Clone formation, G) cell migration and invasion assays of BGC-823 cells transfected with pcDNA3/circ-sirt1 plasmid or pcDNA3.1 after 48 h. Results are representative of three independent experiments.
