OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA (DANCR) on the immune microenvironment of glioma cells by regulating the miR-656/bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1A (BMPR1A) axis. METHODS:The expression levels of DANCR, miR-656 and BMPR1A in glioma cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The U87 cells were transfected or co-transfected to form the following groups: sh-DANCR (transfected with sh-DANCR), overexpression (pcDNA 3.1) DANCR (transfected with pcDNA 3.1 DANCR), NC sh (transfected with negative control sh), pcDNA 3.1 (transfected with pcDNA 3.1 vector), sh-DANCR + miR-656 inhibitor (co-transfected with sh-DANCR and miR-656 inhibitor), sh-DANCR + NC inhibitor (co-transfected with sh-DANCR and NC inhibitor), sh-DANCR + pcDNA 3.1 BMPR1A (co-transfected with sh-DANCR and pcDNA 3.1 BMPR1A), and sh-DANCR + pcDNA 3.1 (co-transfected with sh-DANCR and pcDNA 3.1 BMPR1A). The untreated U87 cells were used as the blank group. The proliferation of U87 cells was detected by CCK-8; invasion and migration were detected by Transwell assay; apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry; the expression of DANCR, miR-656, and BMPR1A mRNA in cells was detected by qRT-PCR; the targeting relationship between DANCR and miR-656 was verified by dual-luciferase; and BMPR1A and immune escape factors [programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)] were detected by Western blot. RESULTS:The mRNA expressions of DANCR and BMPR1A in U87, A172, LN229 and U251 cells were significantly increased, while the expression of miR-656 was significantly decreased compared with those in NHA cells (P < 0.05). Compared with the blank group and sh-DANCR group, the proliferation rate, invasion, migration number, DANCR, BMPR1A mRNA, BMPR1A, PD-1, PD-L1 expression of U87 cells in the sh-DANCR group were obviously reduced, while the apoptosis rate and miR-656 expression were obviously increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the pcDNA 3.1 group, the proliferation rate, invasion, migration number, DANCR, BMPR1A mRNA, BMPR1A, PD-1, and PD-L1 expression of U87 cells in the pcDNA 3.1 DANCR group were obviously increased, while the apoptosis rate and miR-656 expression were obviously reduced (P < 0.05). Compared with the sh-DANCR +NC inhibitor group, the proliferation rate, invasion, migration number, BMPR1A mRNA, BMPR1A, PD-1, and PD-L1 expression of U87 cells in the sh-DANCR+miR-656 inhibitor group were obviously increased, and the apoptosis rate and miR-656 expression were obviously reduced (P < 0.05), while the expression of DANCR was not obvious (P>0.05). Compared with the sh-DANCR+pcDNA 3.1 group, the proliferation rate, invasion, migration number, BMPR1A mRNA, BMPR1A, PD-1, and PD-L1 expression of U87 cells in the sh-DANCR+pcDNA 3.1 BMPR1A group obviously increased, and the apoptosis rate obviously decreased (P < 0.05), while here was no statistically obvious difference in miR-656 expression and DANCR expression (P>0.05). DANCR and miR-656 had a targeted negative regulatory relationship. CONCLUSION:LncRNA DANCR improves the immune microenvironment of glioma cells and inhibits the malignant behavior development of cancer cells by regulating the miR-656/BMPR1A axis.
Parthanatos, a cell death mechanism triggered by PARP-1 activation, is implicated in oncogenic processes, yet their role in low-grade gliomas (LGG) remains poorly understood. This research investigates Parthanatos-related miRNAs' prognostic and immunomodulatory potential, alongside their influence on therapeutic outcomes in LGGs. Comprehensive miRNA and mRNA profiles of LGG patients were extracted from TCGA and CGGA databases, integrating clinical parameters to identify Parthanatos-associated miRNAs. IHC data validated the expression levels of Parthanatos-related genes in glioma versus normal brain tissues. Protein–protein interaction networks and Spearman correlation analysis facilitated the identification of key miRNAs. Parthanatos-related miRNA indices (PMI) were screened using Lasso and assessed for their accuracy in predicting prognosis, comparing their associated potential molecular functions and heterogeneity of the immune microenvironment. Drug sensitivity was assessed between different groups and optimal therapeutic agents were predicted. Validate the expression levels of key miRNAs by qPCR. Ninety-one miRNAs significantly associated with Parthanatos were screened, through which a PMI prognosis model of nine miRNAs was constructed. The PMI score was able to independently predict the prognosis of patients with LGG, and the nomogram constructed based on the PMI provided a practical tool for clinical prediction of patient prognosis. The proportion of immune response was lower in patients in the high-risk group, and there were significant differences in drug sensitivity between different risk classes, while drugs such as Fasudil were identified as the most promising therapeutic agents for patients in the high-risk group. Our findings highlight the critical role of Parthanatos-associated miRNAs in the progression and treatment of LGG, offering novel insights into their prognostic value and therapeutic potential.

Objective To detect the expressions of high mobility group box-1,nuclear factor-kB(NF-kB)in tumor tissues of glioma patients and analyze the correlation of HMGB1 and NF-kB expressions with tumor pathology. Methods A total of 76 patients who undertook glioma resection were selected as observation group,and 20 patients who undertook intracranial decompression were selected as control group during September 2013 to September 2017. The expressions of HMGB1 and NF-kB were detected by SP immunohistochemistry(SP)and analyzed by combining clinical factors and postoperative tumor pathology to investigate the relationship between the expression levels of HMGB1 and NF-kB and the pathology of glioma. Results The positive expression rates of HMGB1 and NF-kB in glioma tissues of the observation group were both higher than those of the control group(P<0.05). The expression levels of HMGB1 and NF-kB in glioma tissues were observed in the observation group. The pathological grade of the tumor was related(P<0.05). Expression levels of HMGB1 and NF-kB in glioma tissue of the trial group were related with pathological grade of glioma(P<0.05). In the observation group,HMGB1 expression level was positively correlated with NF-kB expression level(r=0.316,P<0.05). Conclusion HMGB1 and NF-kB are significantly higher in glioma tumor specimens than normal tissues,and the expression of HMGB1 and NF-kB is correlated with tumor pathological grade,suggests that may be closely related to the occurrence and pathology of glioma.
Emerging evidences show RNA back-splicing produces a new type of noncoding RNA, namely circular RNA (circRNA). Many reports demonstrate that circRNA circHIPK3 exerts oncogenic or anti-tumor roles in different cancers, such as ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, osteosarcoma, colorectal cancer and liver cancer. However, no study about circHIPK3 function in glioma exists until today. In this study, we showed that circHIPK3 was upregulated in glioma tissues. Elevated level of circHIPK3 was linked to poor prognosis. Functional investigation indicated that circHIPK3 promotes glioma cell proliferation and invasion, and tumor propagation in vivo. Furthermore, miR-654 was identified as a target of circHIPK3 while IGF2BP3 was targeted by miR-654. CircHIPK3 could promote IGF2BP3 expression via interacting with miR-654 in glioma cells. Finally, CCK8 and transwell assays illustrated that IGF2BP3 overexpression could reverse the effects of IGF2BP3 depletion. Altogether, our findings demonstrated that circHIPK3 contributes to glioma progression through targeting miR-654 from IGF2BP3 and implies circHIPK3 might be a potential target for glioma therapy.

White blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio (WMR), a combination of both WBC and mean platelet volume, has been reported as a novel and promising prognostic marker in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. We speculated that WMR, a combination of two inflammatory marker (WBC and mean platelet volume), may be a novel inflammatory marker. Since the presence of inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis (MG), we aimed to evaluate diagnostic information of admission WMR and the relationship between admission WMR and disease disability and progression in patients with MG. Venous blood was drawn and hematological parameters were obtained from 373 individuals comprising 185 patients with MG and 188 healthy controls (HC). We confirmed that admission WMR in MG patients were significantly higher than those in the HC group. We also found that WMR has the highest area under ROC curve (AUC 0.733, 95% CI, 0.685 to 0.778) and WMR has the highest discriminative ability for differentiating MG patients from healthy controls. Moreover, the relative increase in the mean WMR of the patients with MG were observed to be positively correlated with the degree of disease disability expressed by the MGFA clinical classification (r = 0.234, P = 0.001). Multiple regression analysis suggested that WMR was independently associated with the degree of disease disability performed by the MGFA scores after adjustment by CRP, PLR. In conclusion, we evidenced that WMR could be considered as a novel inflammatory marker in patients with MG. Furthermore, we demonstrated that WMR was positively correlated with disability in patients with MG.
BACKGROUND Neural stem cells are reported to exist in the hippocampus of adult mammals and are important sources of neurons for repair. The Notch1 signaling pathway is considered as one of the important regulators of neural stem cells, but its role in adult brains is unclear. We aimed to describe the role of Notch1 signaling in the adult rat hippocampus after traumatic brain injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS The model rats were randomly divided into 4 groups as follows: sham, sham-TBI, sham-Ad-TBI, and NICD-Ad-TBI. We used adenovirus-mediated gene transfection to upregulate endogenous NICD in vivo. Firstly, a TBI rat model was constructed with lateral fluid percussion. Then, the hippocampus was collected to detect the expression of Notch1 markers and stem cell markers (DCX) by Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. The prognosis after TBI treatment was evaluated by the Morris Water Maze test. RESULTS First, we found the expression of NICD in vivo was significantly increased by adenovirus-mediated gene transfection as assessed by Notch1 immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis. Second, enhancing NICD stimulated the regeneration of neural stem cells in the DG of the adult rat brain following traumatic brain injury, as evaluated by DCX and NeuN double-staining. Furthermore, Notch1 signaling activation can promote behavioral improvement after traumatic brain injury, including spatial learning and memory capacity. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that targeted regulation of Notch1 signaling may have a useful effect on stem cell transformation. Notch1 signaling may have a potential brain-protection effect, which may result from neurogenesis.
Background: Pituitary apoplexy is a rare disease caused by a sudden hemorrhage into or infarction of the pituitary gland. Its optimal management remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of surgical and non-surgical treatments for pituitary apoplexy.Methods: A systematic literature search was performed of MedLine, EmBase, the Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science for articles published between January 1992 and September 2014. Studies of the outcomes in consecutive patients that compared surgical intervention with non-surgical treatment for pituitary apoplexy were included.Results: Six studies met the inclusion criteria. As compared to the non-surgically treated patients, surgically treated patients had a significantly higher rate of recovery of ocular palsy and visual field (both P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the recovery of visual acuity and pituitary function (P > 0.05) between the two groups.Conclusions: The findings of our study suggest that surgical intervention should be advocated for pituitary apoplexy patients with visual field defects and ocular palsy.

Glioma is a malignant tumor that affects all kinds of people all over the world. It demonstrates remarkable infiltrative and invasive features. The high expression of interleukin-13 receptor subunit alpha-2 (IL-13Rα2) reportedly plays a pivotal role in some cancers. However, whether IL-13Rα2 contributes to glioma remains unknown. This study demonstrates that IL-13Rα2 is significantly up-regulated in human glioma tissue samples. It is also associated with late stages of disease progression and diminished survival in glioma patients. Gain- and loss-of-function studies demonstrate that IL-13Rα2 promotes the growth, migration, and invasion of glioma cells. In addition, mechanistic investigations show that IL-13Rα2 activates Scr, phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K), Akt, and mTOR. Also, restraining Scr in glioma cells attenuates the activation of Scr/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway by IL-13Rα2, whereas the silencing of Scr markedly rescues the pro-invasive effect of IL-13Rα2. In conclusion, our results suggest that the high expression of IL-13Rα2 is significantly associated with the growth and metastasis of human glioma cells via the Scr/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, while IL-13Rα2 may be a potential therapeutic target for glioma treatment.

Groups of rats after 24 h of neurologic deifcits were evaluated through the nervous system disease severity score (NSS), then use immunohistochemistry and Western blot methods were used to detect Notch 1 signaling pathway downstream factors Jagged 1 and Hes 1.Results: The NSS score difference among the TBI groups was statistically signiifcant (P<0.05), the brain contusion was heavier, the neurologic deifcits were more obvious, which means the model was established successfully. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot showed that in brain contusion the expres-sion of Hes 1 and Jagged 1 levels were signiifcantly higher than that the control group (P<0.05), and increased with the degree of brain injury, the expression of the proteins was increased.Conclusion: Notch 1 signaling path-way may be involved in the development process of craniocerebral injury, and may become the new target for therapy after traumatic brain injury.
Objective: To study the protective effect of hydrogen on renal injury induced by type 1 dibetes in mice and explore the possible mechanism.Methods: Sixty healthy male ICR mice were randomly divided into control group (A), diabetic group (B) and diabetes hydrogen water intervention group (C). Diabetes were induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 150 mg/kg. Group C were injected saturated hydrogen-rich water 5 mL/kg and group B were injected with equal normal saline every day for 8 weeks in mice models of type 1 dibetes. The blood was collected from the tail vein and blood glucose was measured. Renal injury were identiifed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Expression of Nox4 and HO-1 were identiifed by immuno-histochemical staining.Results: Expression of Nox4 in Group C was signiifcantly lower than that in group B, expression of HO-1 in Group C was signiifcantly higher than that in group B. Blood glucose in Group B and C were higher than that in Group A, but there was no difference between the two groups. Kidney HE staining did not show signiifcant lesions.Conclusion: Hydrogen-rich water can reduce oxidative stress in renal tissue of dia-betic mice.
