PurposeTo investigate the application value of 3D arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) for evaluating distal limb ischemic preconditioning to improve acute ischemic stroke (AIS) perfusion.Materials and MethodsA total of 40 patients with AISs treated in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were recruited, and 15 healthy individuals who were examined in our hospital during the same period were included as the control group; all of these participants were scored on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and examined by MRI. Sequences included conventional sequences, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and 3D-ASL, and cerebral infarct volume and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the area of the infarct lesion were measured. After 3 months of treatment, patients with AIS were scored on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and divided into good prognosis and poor prognosis groups. In total, 55 adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided randomly into three groups: 20 in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group, 20 in the MCAO + limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRP) group, and 15 in the sham group. In total, 48 h after the procedures, conventional MRI, DWI, and 3D-ASL sequence data were collected, and 2,3,5-trphenyltetrazolium chloride monohydrate (TTC) staining and behavioral scoring were performed. CBF was recorded in the infarct lesion area and the corresponding contralateral area, and the affected/contralateral relative values (rCBF) were calculated to compare the differences in rCBF between different groups. The pathological changes in brain tissues were observed by HE staining, and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31) in brain tissues was detected by immunofluorescence and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The protein expression of VEGF was detected by western blotting.ResultsHypertension and internal carotid atherosclerosis are high-risk factors for ischemic stroke, and CBF values in the infarct area are significantly lower than those in the corresponding areas on the contralateral side. NIHSS and mRS scores and CBF values have higher specificity and sensitivity for the prognosis of patients with AIS. LRP significantly reduces the infarct area, improves behavioral deficits in rats with cerebral ischemia, reduces neurological injury and histological damage, protects vascular structures, and promotes neovascularization. In addition, 3D-ASL showed a significant increase in brain tissue perfusion in the ischemic area after LRP, and the expression of VEGF and CD31 showed a significant positive correlation with CBF values.ConclusionThree dimensional (3D) ASL can be used to evaluate LRP to improve stroke perfusion, and its protective effect may be closely related to LRP-induced vascular regeneration.
Background and objective: Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) plays a crucial role in regulating tumor development depending on the cellular context or cancer cell type. However, the effect of ATF3 on stem cells-like features in colorectal cancer (CRC) has yet to be elaborated. Methods: In this study, we overexpressed ATF3 in SW620 CRC cells to investigate its effects on stem cells-like features. Results: Our results indicated that overexpressing ATF3 inhibited the proliferation, invasion, migration, and sphere formation capacity of SW620 CRC cells. ATF3 overexpression also decreased the size of tumorspheres and reduced expression of the cancer stem cell markers CD44 and CD133 in SW620 cells. Conclusion: In summary, our study revealed that ATF3 suppresses CRC growth and stem cells-like features. ATF3 is considered a potential target in CRC therapy.
BACKGROUND:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers and the third leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide. The 5-year survival rate is rather low owing to advanced unresectable and distant metastasis. The EMT has been widely implicated in the stemness, metastatic dormancy, and chemoresistance of different solid tumors. Given the fact that activating transcription factor-3 (ATF3) is a member of the ATF/CREB family of transcription factors and its role in regulation of GC recurrence and metastasis remain poorly understood, the aim of the present study was to investigate its potential impact in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cell (CSC) properties and GC aggression. METHODS:To elucidate the potential role of ATF3 in gastric cancer, we utilized SGC-7901 and MGC-803 gastric cancer cell lines as research models and constructed stable cell lines overexpressing ATF3. We conducted a series of assays including cell proliferation, colony formation, cell migration, tumorsphere formation, and invasion to investigate the functional roles of ATF3 in stemness of gastric cancer. The possible effect of ATF3 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was assessed through flow cytometry and qRT-PCR. In vivo functional effect of upregulation of ATF3 on tumor growth was examined in a mouse xenograft model. RESULTS:We found that overexpression of ATF3 inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, cell migration and invasion. In addition, up-regulation of ATF3 attenuated tumorsphere formation, cell stemness, and potentially decreased expression of EMT markers. Moreover, ATF3 overexpression inhibited tumorigenesis in mouse xenograft model. CONCLUSION:Our data suggest a suppressive role of ATF3 in gastric cancer development. Our findings will provide a potential therapeutic strategy and novel drug target for gastric cancer.
OBJECTIVE:Elder abuse (EA) is a critical social, health, and economic issue worldwide. To date, there is limited information on EA in certain similar culture-specific subpopulations, especially in East Asia. This study aims to summarize EA incidence in East Asia through a systematic review and meta-analysis and identify its variations and heterogeneity in the incidence estimates. METHODS/DESIGN:The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol. Systematic review registration number PROSPERO CRD42020197131. A systematic literature search was performed to identify relevant articles published before July 5th, 2020, from six electronic databases. Two reviewers screened for relevance of the studies against eligible criteria and assessed the bias of the included studies independently. A random-effect model was adopted to estimate the incidence of EA, followed by subgroup analyses and multi meta-regression. Sensitivity and publication bias tests were performed to verify the robustness of the meta-analysis by Stata version 15.1. RESULTS:Twelve eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis, which involved 79,395 subjects from 3 East Asian countries (China, Japan, and South Korea) ranging from 2004 to 2020. The overall incidence of EA was 78.33 per 1000 person-year (95% CI: 39.12-156.87) with high between-study variability (χ2 = 15,568, d.f. = 11, p<0.001; I2 = 99.9%). The sampling method, sample size, scope, instrument, data collection method, income classification, types of participants, and urbanity are all the sources of heterogeneity, which can explain nearly 100% of the variance between studies. CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of EA in this study is not as high as the global level. It may be furtherly underestimated in East Asia due to cultural norms. It is imperative to develop a culture-tailored EA assessment instrument to evaluate potential victims. Future studies should also identify more effective educational programs to raise the public's awareness and promote recognition ability.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant cancer with an increasing in incidence that can be alleviated through bortezomib (BTZ) treatment. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) plays a major role in cancer development. Moreover, microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate carcinogenic pathways, apoptosis, and programmed necrotic cell death. However, the detailed mechanism by which ATF3 modulates BTZ drug sensitivity/resistance remains elusive. In the current study, expression of ATF3 was significantly increased under BTZ treatment in a dose-dependent manner in MM cell lines. In addition, ATF3 could regulate cell apoptosis under BTZ treatment. The effect of ATF3 was negatively regulated by its binding miRNA, miR-135a-5p. When either ATF3 was silenced or miR-135a-5p mimics were added to MM cells, they partially lost sensitivity to BTZ treatment. This was accompanied by low levels of Noxa, CHOP, and DR5, and a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. These results revealed the combinatorial regulatory patterns of ATF3 and miR-135a-5p in the regulatory protein interactome, which indicated a clinical significance of the miR-135a-5p-ATF3 protein interaction network in BTZ therapy. This study provides potential evidence for further investigation into BTZ resistance.
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with poor prognosis. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a vital role in HCC progression. Thus, this research was designed to analyze the correlation between the TME and the prognosis of HCC patients and to construct a TME-related long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) signature to determine HCC patients’ prognosis and response to immunotherapy. Methods: We assessed the stromal–immune–estimate scores within the HCC microenvironment using the ESTIMATE (Estimation of Stromal and Immune Cells in Malignant Tumor Tissues Using Expression Data) algorithm based on The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and their associations with survival and clinicopathological parameters were also analyzed. Thereafter, differentially expressed lncRNAs were filtered out according to the immune and stromal scores. Cox regression analysis was performed to build a TME-related lncRNA risk signature. Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to explore the prognostic value of the risk signature. Furthermore, we explored the biological functions and immune microenvironment features in the high- and low-risk groups. Lastly, we probed the association of the risk model with treatment responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in HCC. Results: The stromal, immune, and estimate scores were obtained utilizing the ESTIMATE algorithm for patients with HCC. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that high scores were significantly correlated with better prognosis in HCC patients. Six TME-related lncRNAs were screened to construct the prognostic model. The Kaplan–Meier curves suggested that HCC patients with low risk had better prognosis than those with high risk. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Cox regression analyses indicated that the risk model could predict HCC survival exactly and independently. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that some tumor- and immune-related pathways were activated in the high-risk group. We also revealed that some immune cells, which were important in enhancing immune responses toward cancer, were significantly increased in the low-risk group. In addition, there was a close correlation between ICIs and the risk signature, which can be used to predict the treatment responses of HCC patients. Conclusion: We analyzed the influence of the stromal, immune, and estimate scores on the prognosis of HCC patients. A novel TME-related lncRNA risk model was established, which could be effectively applied as an independent prognostic biomarker and predictor of ICIs for HCC patients.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with poor prognosis. Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a vital role in the tumor progression of HCC. Thus, we aimed to analyze the association of TME with HCC prognosis, and construct an TME-related lncRNAs signature for predicting the prognosis of HCC patients. Methods: We firstly assessed the stromal/immune /Estimate scores within the HCC microenvironment using the ESTIMATE algorithm based on TCGA database, and its associations with survival and clinicopathological parameters were also analyzed. Then, different expression lncRNAs were filtered out according to immune/stromal scores. Cox regression was performed to built an TME-related lncRNAs risk signature. Kaplan–Meier analysis was carried out to explored the prognostic values of the risk signature. Furthermore, we explored the biological functions and immune microenvironment feathers in high- and low risk groups. Lastly, we probed the association of the risk signature with the treatment responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in HCC by comparing the immunophenoscore (IPS). Results: Stromal/immune /Estimate scores of HCC patients were obtained based on the ESTIMATE algorithm. The Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed the high stromal/immune/ Estimate scores were significantly associated with better prognosis of the HCC patients. Then, six TME-related lncRNAs were screened for constructing the prognosis model. Kaplan-Meier survival curves suggested that HCC patients in high-risk group had worse prognosis than those with low-risk. ROC curve and Cox regression analyses demonstrated the signature could predict HCC survival exactly and independently. Function enrichment analysis revealed that some tumor- and immune-related pathways associated with HCC tumorigenesis and progression might be activated in high-risk group. We also discovered that some immune cells, which were beneficial to enhance immune responses towards cancer, were remarkably upregulated in low-risk group. Besides, there was closely correlation of immune checkmate inhibitors (ICIs) with the risk signature and the signature can be used to predict treatment response of ICIs. Conclusions: We analyzed the impact of the tumor microenvironment scores on the prognosis of patients with HCC. A novel TME-related prognostic risk signature was established, which may improve prognostic predictive accuracy and guide individualized immunotherapy for HCC patients.

Background: Inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (Id1) is upregulated in multiple cancers, and Id1 overexpression correlates with cancer aggressiveness and poor clinical outcomes in cancer patients. However, its roles in cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are still elusive. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the role of Id1 on the mediation of CRC sternness and explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Id1 and CD133 expression was detected by qPCR assay and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in normal mucosal and primary colorectal cancer (CRC) specimens. Id1 was stably knocked down (KD) in human CRC cell lines. Spheres forming assay and tumorigenic assay were performed to evaluate self-renewal capacity and tumor initiation. Expression of CSC- and EMT-related markers and TCF/LEF activity were assessed in HCT116 cells after Id1 KD. Results: qPCR assay showed higher Id1 and CD133 expression in CRC specimens than in normal mucosal specimens (P<0.05). IHC detected high cytoplasmic Id1 expression in 35 CRC specimens (46.7%), and high CD133 expression in 22 CRC specimens (29.3%) and negative expression in 18 normal mucosal specimens. High Id1 expression positively correlated with poor differentiation (P=0.034), and CD133 expression correlated with T category in CRC patients (P=0.002). Spearman correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between Id1 and CD133 expression in CRC patients (P<0.05). Id1 KD resulted in suppression of proliferation, cell-colony formation, self-renewal capability and CSC-like features in HCT116 cells, and impaired the tumor-initiating capability in CRC cells. In addition, Id1 maintained the sternness of CRC cells via the Id1-c-Myc-PLAC8 axis through activating the Wnt/beta-catenin and Shh signaling pathways. Conclusions: Id1 expression significantly correlates with CD133 expression in CRC patients, and Id1 KD impairs CSC-like capacity and reverses EMT traits, partially via the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Id1 may be a promising therapeutic target against colon CSCs.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Activating transcription factor 3 ( ATF3) has been identified as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer, which encourages further studies to validate the exact role of ATF3 in colorectal cancer development and progression. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of ATF3 overexpression on biological behaviors of human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells. A stable ATF3-overexpressed HCT116 cell line was established by transfecting HCT116 cells with lentivirus carrying a full-length of ATF3. Cell proliferation was measured with MTS and colony-formation assays, and cell migration and invasion was detected using Transwell migration/ invasion assays. In addition, a sphere-forming assay was performed to assess the cancer-initiation capacity, while the gene and protein expression was quantified with qRT-PCR, Western blotting and flow cytometry. ATF3 overexpression was found to suppress proliferation, migration and invasion of HCT116 cells as compared with the control cells, while down-regulation of Survivin and PCNA expression was detected in HCT116 cells at both translational and transcriptional levels, and a reduction was measured in the CyclinD1 protein expression in HCT116 cells overexpressing ATF3 than in the control cells. In addition, MMP2 and MMP9 expression was found to be down-regulated in HCT116 cells overexpressing ATF3 at both translational and transcriptional levels, and Western blotting detected up-regulation of TIMP-2 and TIMP-1 expression in HCT116 cells overexpressing ATF3 relative to the control cells. Overexpression of ATF3 resulted in reversal of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), as revealed by changes of cell morphology and altered expression of E-cadherin, Snail, Slug and Twist. Most importantly, ATF3-overexpressed HCT117 cells produced less and smaller spheres as compared with the control cells. The expression of multiple markers associated with colorectal cancer-initiation including CD24, CD133, CD166, EpCAM, EZH2 and ID1 were down-regulated in HCT116 cells overexpressing ATF3 at both translational and transcriptional levels, while lower beta-catenin protein expression was detected in ATF3-overexpressed HCT116 cells relative to the control cells. The results of this study demonstrate that ATF3 overexpression inhibits colorectal cancer progression and suggest that ATF3 exhibits antitumor activity through reversing EMT and impairing cancer-initiation ability.
Objective:To explore the correlation of procalcitonin (PCT) with liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:101 CRC patients admitted in our hospital form January 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled in this study,consisting of 55 CRC patients without distant metastasis (group A),27 CRC patients with only liver metastasis (group B),19 CRC patients with distant metastasis but not liver (group C).The serum PCT level was detected by ELISA,and the relationship between serum PCT levels with the metastasis of CRC was analyzed.Results:The serum PCT levels were 0.16 (0.07-0.28) ηg/mL,1.20 (0.32-2.89) ηg/mL and 0.67 (0.12-1.23) ηg/mL in group A,B and C.which was significantly increased in group B compared to groups A (p<0.05),but no difference was observed in PCT levels between groups A and C or B and C.Multiple linear regression analysis shown that PCT was positively related to liver metastasis status of CRC ([3=0.577,p=0.002).On analysis of ROC,the cut-off for PCT was 0.56 ηg/mL,with 66.7% scnsitivity and 92.7% specificity for liver metastasis of CRC.Conclusions:PCT levels was related to the disease stage of CRC patients,which might be a specific marker of liver metastasis in CRC.
