Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed, endogenous molecules that are widespread in eukaryotes. Recent evidence indicates that circRNAs play important roles in carcinogenesis. Several circRNAs have been reported to comprise translatable RNA; however, whether circRNAs encode functional proteins remains unknown. In our study, circRNA sequencing was carried out using five pathologically diagnosed gastric carcinoma (GC) samples and their paired adjacent normal tissues, we characterized the circRNA GSPT1 (circGSPT1), which is expressed at low levels in GC. Antibody detections, and mass spectrometry were used to validate active circRNA translation. The spanning junction open reading frame in circGSPT1, driven by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), encodes a functional peptide, termed GSPT1-238aa. Interestingly, GSPT1-238aa tends to select the start codon used to initiate translation. This is the first finding of selective translation driven by IRES. CircGSPT1 and GSPT1-238aa halted the proliferation, migration, and invasion in GC cells in vitro. We also confirmed that the vimentin/Beclin1/14-3-3 complex interacts with GSPT1-238aa and modulates autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in GC cells. Our study reveals that GSPT1-238aa, a novel protein encoded by circGSPT1, halts GC tumorigenesis. We also provide insights into the function and underlying molecular mechanisms of GSPT1-238aa in GC and suggest that this protein represents a novel target for GC treatment.

The poor prognosis of late gastric carcinomas (GC) underscores the necessity to identify novel biomarkers for earlier diagnosis and effective therapeutic targets. MiRNA-324-5p has been shown to be over-expressed in GC, however the biological function of miRNA-324-5p implicated in gastric cancer and its downstream targets were not well understood. Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is aberrantly regulated in GC. We sought to explore if miRNA-324-5p promotes oncogenesis through modulating Wnt signaling and EMT. MiRNA-324-5p is highly expressed in GC based on qRT-PCR and TCGA data. In addition, in vitro cell proliferation, cell migration assays and in vivo animal exenograft were executed to show that miRNA-324-5p is an oncogenic miRNA in GC. MiRNA-324-5p activates Wnt signaling and induces EMT in GC. Further, SUFU was identified as a target of miRNA-324-5p confirmed by western blotting and luciferase assays. Spearson analysis and TCGA data indicate that the expression of SUFU is negatively associated with the expression of miRNA-324-5p. Rescue experiments were performed to determine if SUFU mediates the Wnt activation, EMT and oncogenic function of miRNA-324-5p. MiRNA-324-5p inhibitors plus SUFU siRNAs rescue partially the inhibitory effect on Wnt signaling and EMT caused by miRNA-324-5p inhibitors. Finally, the suppression of cell proliferation, migration, and colony formation ability induced by miRNA-324-5p inhibitors is alleviated by addition of SUFU siRNAs. In summary, miRNA-324-5p is overexpressed in vivo and exerts cell growth and migration-promoting effects through activating Wnt signaling and EMT by targeting SUFU in GC. It represents a potential miRNA with an oncogenic role in human gastric cancer.
Although great progress has been made in surgical techniques, traditional radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, gastric cancer (GC) is still the most common malignant tumor and has a high mortality, which highlights the importance of novel diagnostic markers. Emerging studies suggest that different microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in tumorigenesis of GC. In this study, we found that miRNA-192 and -215 are significantly upregulated in GC and promote cell proliferation and migration. Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), a well-known negative regulator in Wnt signaling, has been proved to be a target of miRNA-192 and -215. Inhibition of miRNA-192 or -215 reduced the Topflash activities and repressed the expression of Wnt signaling pathway proteins, while APC small interfering RNAs reversed the inhibitory effects, suggesting that miRNA-192 and -215 activate Wnt signaling via APC. In addition, APC mediates the cell proliferation and migration regulated by miRNA-192 and -215. Furthermore, APC is downregulated in GC tissues and negatively correlated with the expression of miRNA-192 and -215. In summary, miRNA-192 and -215 target APC and function as oncogenic miRNAs by activating Wnt signaling in GC, revealing to be potential therapeutic targets.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of super-selective renal arterial embolization (SRAE) for treatment of huge renal angiomyolipoma (RAML).Methods Data of 16 patients with huge RAML treated with SRAE were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical symptoms,tumor size,serum creatinine and complications were compared before and after SRAE.Results A total of 26 SRAE treatments were performed on 16 patients with huge RAML.The technical success rate of SRAE was 100% (26/26).Seven cases (7/16,43.75 %) received one SRAE treatment,whereas 8 (8/16,50.00%) required two SRAE treatments.Only one case (1/16,6.25%) received three SRAE treatments.The mean follow-up period was (16.60± 15.60) months.The maximum diameter of the tumor reduced significantly after SRAE at final follow-up than before embolization ([9.00±2.80]cm vs [12.60±2.40]cm,t=12.41,P<0.01).The symptoms of flank pain and hematuria gradually relieved after SRAE.And there was no statistical difference of mean serum creatinine before and after SRAE ([76.00±14.90]μmol/L] vs [79.10±12.80]μmol/L,t=0.89,P=0.39).Fourteen cases (14/ 16,87.50%) experienced post-embolization syndrome including varying degrees of fever,local pain or nausea on 1-3 days after embolization.No serious complications occurred.Conclusion SRAE is an effective method for stopping bleeding of ruptured huge RAML,as well as relieving symptoms and reserving nephron.
A mounting body of evidence has revealed that microRNAs (miRs) serve pivotal roles in various developmental processes, and in tumourigenesis, by binding to target genes and subsequently regulating gene expression. Continued activation of the Wnt/β‑catenin signalling is positively associated with human malignancy. In addition, miR‑194 dysregulation has been implicated in gastric cancer (GC); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of miR‑194 on GC carcinogenesis remain to be elucidated. The present study demonstrated that miR‑194 was upregulated in GC tissues and SUFU negative regulator of Ηedgehog signaling (SUFU) was downregulated in GC cell lines. Subsequently, inhibition of miR‑194 attenuated nuclear accumulation of β‑catenin, which consequently blocked Wnt/β‑catenin signalling. In addition, the cytoplasmic translocation of β‑catenin induced by miR‑194 inhibition was mediated by SUFU. Furthermore, genes associated with the Wnt/β‑catenin signalling pathway were revealed to be downregulated following inhibition of the Wnt signalling pathway by miR‑194 suppression. Finally, the results indicated that cell apoptosis was markedly increased in response to miR‑194 inhibition, strongly suggesting the carcinogenic effects of miR‑194 in GC. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that miR‑194 may promote gastric carcinogenesis through activation of the Wnt/β‑catenin signalling pathway, making it a potential therapeutic target for GC.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare ion exchange doxorubicin-loaded poly (acrylic acid) microspheres (DPMs) and evaluate the properties of these chemoembolic agents.METHODS:Poly (acrylic acid) microspheres (PMs) without drug were prepared by inverse suspension polymerization method and then doxorubicin was loaded by ion exchange mechanism to prepare DPMs. Optical microscope was used to investigate the morphology and particle size distribution of PMs and DPMs; fluorescence microscope and confocal microscope were used to observe the distribution of doxorubicin after drug loading. Elasticities of both the microspheres were evaluated by texture analyzer. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established to determine the drug loading behavior of PMs and releasing behavior of DPMs. The in vivo embolic property was evaluated by embolizing the hepatic artery of a rabbit with 0.1 mL of DPMs.RESULTS:PMs and DPMs were both spherical in shape, smooth in surface and dispersed well. Doxorubicin was mainly in the outer area inside of DPMs and distributed evenly. The average particle size of PMs and DPMs were (283±136) μm and (248±149) μm, respectively. PMs and DPMs both had good compression ability with the Young's modulus of (62.63±1.65) kPa and (93.94±1.10) kPa separately. PMs reached the drug loading balance at 12 h, and the entrapment efficiency was greater than 99%. Drug loading of PMs in doxorubicin solution at the concentration of 5.0 g/L and 12.5 g/L was (19.78±0.27) g/L and (49.45±0.37) g/L, respectively. Doxorubicin released slowly from DPMs in PBS and the accumulative release percentages of DPMs with corresponding drug loading were 6.82%±0.02% and 2.83%±0.10% after 24 h, respectively. Arterial angiograms showed that the hepatic artery of the rabbit was successfully embolized with DPMs.CONCLUSION:DPMs with good performance of loading doxorubicin could be a potential embolic agent for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.
Objective To explore the impact of local lipiodol deposition in liver of miniature pigs on the shape and size of the necrotic area after microwave ablation (MWA).Methods Ten healthy miniature pigs were selected and equally divided into experimental group and control group (each n=5).In experimental group,transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization with lipiodol was done before microwave ablation,while only standard microwave ablation was performed in control group.Immediate post-ablation CT images were obtained.Long-axis diameter (LAD),short-axis diameter (SAD),sphericity index (SI=SAD/LAD) and volume of ablation zone were calculated.The size and shape of the ablated areas were compared between two groups.Results The mean LAD,SAD,SI and volume of ablation zone in experimental group ([4.21 ± 0.52]cm,[2.87±0.38]cm,0.69±0.10,[18.72±6.08]cm3) were larger than those in control group ([3.71±0.42]cm,[2.19±0.42]cm,0.60±0.09,[9.44±2.29] cm3;all P<0.05).Conclusion Local deposition of lipiodol in liver parenchyma of miniature pigs can help to produce larger and rounder necrosis in the ablation zone.
Objective To investigate the effect of catheter-based peripheral sympathetic denervation (CPSD) on peripheral artery sympathetic tone of New Zealand rabbits.Methods Twenty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into CPSD group and control group (each n =10).Endovascular radiofrequency ablation above the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta was performed on the rabbits in CPSD group.Norepinephrine was infused with continuous trans-arterial pumping in both two groups.And laser Doppler flowmetry was used to measure the peripheral microperfusion and temperature of right hindlimb of rabbits.The changes of the peripheral microperfusion and temperature before (resting state) and after norepinephrine infused (norepinephrine load state) were compared between the two groups.Results Eight rabbits completed the procedure in each group.The change of peripheral microperfusion between resting and norepinephrine load states in CSPD group was lower than that in control group ([-37.19±22.56]% vs [-57.02%±10.12]%,P=0.04),whereas the change of temperature was not significantly different between the two groups ([0.35±0.50]℃ vs [-0.21± 1.83]℃,P=0.43),while significant difference was noticed when two rabbits with abnormal temperature change in control group were neglected ([0.34± 0.50] ℃ vs [-1.14 ±0.72] ℃,P<0.01).Conclusion CPSD can be used to decrease the peripheral artery sympathetic tone of New Zealand rabbits,and may play an important role in relieving symptoms of critical limb ischemia.
