Distraction osteogenesis (DO) represents a highly effective method for addressing significant bone defects; however, it necessitates a long treatment period. Exosomes are key mediators of intercellular communication. To investigate their role in the angiogenesis and osteogenesis of DO, we established a canine mandibular DO model with a bone defect (BD) group as the control. Higher levels of angiogenesis were observed in the regenerating tissue from the DO group compared to those from the BD group, accompanied by earlier osteogenesis. Proteomic analysis was performed on circulating exosomes at different phases of the DO using a data-independent acquisition method. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD050531. The results indicated specific alterations in circulating exosome proteins at different phases of DO, reflecting the regenerative activities in the corresponding tissues. Notably, fibronectin 1 (FN1), thrombospondin 1 (THBS1), and transferrin receptor (TFRC) emerged as potential candidate proteins related to the angiogenic response in DO. Further cellular experiments validated the potential of DO-associated circulating exosomes to promote angiogenesis in endothelial cells. Collectively, these data reveal previously unknown mechanisms that may underlie the efficacy of DO and suggest that exosome-derived proteins may be useful as therapeutic targets for strategies designed to improve DO-related angiogenesis and bone regeneration.
The relationship between interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has been demonstrated but with inconsistent conclusions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential associations of IL gene polymorphisms and the SCC risk. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Database, WanFang, and China Science and Technology Journal Database databases were searched for articles reporting the correlations of IL-10 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms with the SCC risk. Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated using Stata Version 11.2. Meta-regression, sensitivity, and publication bias were analyzed. False-positive reporting probability and Bayesian measure of the false-discovery probability were used to explore the credibility of the calculation. Twenty-three articles were included. The IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism showed a significant correlation with the SCC risk in the overall analysis. Studies pooled by ethnicity revealed that the IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism reduced the SCC risk in the Caucasian population. The results of this study suggest that the IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism may confer a genetic susceptibility to SCC, particularly oral SCC, in Caucasians. However, the IL-10 rs1800896 or IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism was not significantly associated with the SCC risk.

BACKGROUND:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential and critical components of signal and transduction, regulating the intracellular microenvironment. Serum exosomes (SEs) are involved in rearranging the intercellular functional lncRNAs, which may also play a role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The function of lncRNAs at the transcription level in SEs of patients with OSCC is partially understood.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The lncRNA expression profiles were examined derived from SEs from patients with OSCC with lymph node metastasis (OSCC-LNM), OSCC with no LNM (OSCC-NLNM), postoperative metastasis and recurrence OSCC (rOSCC) and healthy controls (HCs). Bioinformatics analysis was used to analyse differentially expressed lncRNAs (DE lncRNAs) and a total of 150 subjects were enrolled for RT-PCR verifications. The correlations of four lncRNAs and clinicopathologic factors, biochemical indexes were evaluated. MAGI2-AS3 and CCDC144NL-AS1 were overexpressed or silenced in oral cancer (OC) cells. The proliferation, invasion, and migration were evaluated to investigate the effect of MAGI2-AS3 and CCDC144NL-AS1 on the development of OSCC. The related proteins of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signal pathway were also detected.RESULTS:The expressions of the lncRNAs, namely MAGI2-AS3 and CCDC144NL-AS1, were significantly upregulated in rOSCC and OSCC-LNM. MAGI2-AS3 was overexpressed in cancer tissue compared to other control groups. AC109587.1 and AC010978.1 were significantly associated with the clinical stage, and CCDC144NL-AS1 was significantly associated with aging. MAGI2-AS3 and CCDC144NL-AS1 might promote cell proliferation, invasion, and migration in OSCC cells by regulating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway.CONCLUSIONS:our results suggest that MAGI2-AS3 an d CCDC144NL-AS1 may have clinical applications in the treatment of OSCC.
Objectives: This study was designed to identify a messenger RNA (mRNA) expression signature to predict survival in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: mRNA expression profiles were integrated with clinical data from 280 samples, including 19 normal tissues and 261 OSCC tissues in The Cancer Genome Atlas. We identified differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) between the OSCC and normal tissue samples and developed a novel mRNA-focused expression signature using a Cox regression analysis and other bioinformatic methods. The prognostic value of this signature was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, multivariable COX regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, gene ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis were performed to predict the function of the DEmRNAs. Signature-related mRNAs were analyzed by gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) and validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in 20 paired OSCC and adjacent healthy tissues. Results: We identified a novel 5-mRNA expression signature (HOXA1, CELSR3, HIST1H3J, ZFP42, and ASCL4) that could predict patient outcomes in OSCC. The risk score based on the signature was able to separate OSCC patients into high- and low-risk groups that showed significantly different overall survival (p < 0.001, log-rank test). The signature was further validated as an effective independent prognostic predictor of OSCC by multivariate Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio = 3.747, confidence interval: 2.279-5.677, p < 0.001) and ROC curve of the third year (area under the curve = 0.733). Functional analysis demonstrated that the key hub genes in the PPI network were mainly enriched in cell division, cell proliferation, and the p53 signaling pathway. GSEA results showed that the 5 mRNAs were significantly enriched in mismatch repair, DNA replication, and the NOTCH signaling pathway. Finally, qRT-PCR results showed that the 5 mRNAs were upregulated in OSCC tissue in agreement with the predictions from our bioinformatics analysis. Conclusions: We identified a novel 5-mRNA signature that could predict the survival of patients with OSCC and may be a promising biomarker for personalized cancer treatments.

Genome stability is critical for the normal development of preimplantation embryos, as DNA damages may result in mutation and even embryo lethality. Anti-silencing factor 1A (ASF1A) is a histone chaperone and enriched in the MII oocytes as a maternal factor, which may be associated with the maintenance of genome stability. Thus, this study was undertaken to explore the role of ASF1A in maintaining the genome stability of early mouse embryos. The ASF1A expressed in the preimplantation embryos and displayed a dynamic pattern throughout the early embryonic development. Inhibition of ASF1A expression decreased embryonic development and increased DNA damages. Overexpression of ASF1A improved the developmental potential and decreased DNA damages. When 293T cells that had been integrated with RGS-NHEJ were co-transfected with plasmids of pcDNA3.1-ASF1A, gRNA-NHEJ, and hCas9, less cells expressed eGFP, indicating that non-homologous end joining was reduced by ASF1A. When 293T cells were co-transfected with plasmids of HR-donor, gRNA-HR, hCas9, and pcDNA3.1-ASF1A, more cells expressed eGFP, indicating that homologous recombination (HR) was enhanced by ASF1A. These results indicate that ASF1A may be associated with the genome stability maintenance of early mouse embryos and this action may be mediated by promoting DNA damage repair through HR pathway.
Rotavirus (RV) is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis in neonates and VP6 protein has been discussed as a potential candidate vaccine. CRISPR/Cas9 was the latest generation of gene editing tools that can mediate the site-specific knock-in of exogenous genes, providing strong support for the expression of recombinant proteins. Here, seeking to design a rotavirus vaccine that would be suitable for both mammary-gland-based production and milk-based administration, rabbit β-casein ( CSN2 ) locus was chosen as the target site to integrate the VP6 gene. The efficiency of inducing mutations in different target sites of rabbit CSN2 locus was analyzed and g4 site seems to be the best one to generate mutations (g4 72.76 ± 0.32% vs g1 30.14 ± 1.93%, g2 38.53 ± 0.75%, g3 52.26 ± 1.16%, P < 0.05 ). We further compared the knock-in efficiency through cytoplasmic injection of two group mixtures (containing 100 ng/μL Cas9 mRNA or Cas9 protein, 20 ng/μL sgRNA4, and 100 ng/μL donor vector) in rabbit zygotes, though the Cas9 mRNA group induced an HDR efficiency as high as 20.0% ± 2.6% than Cas9 protein group (10.3% ± 3.1%), 37.5% of the knock-in events were partial integration in the target site, when Cas9 protein used in the CRISPR/Cas9 system, all of the positive blastocysts showed completely integrated, results showed that the use of Cas9 protein is better than Cas9 mRNA to integrate the correct exogenous gene into the target site. Moreover, the transgenic rabbit that harbored correct integration of VP6 gene was obtained using Cas9 protein group and was used to produce an experimental milk-based rotavirus vaccine. Our research provides a novel strategy to produce rotavirus subunit vaccine and make a foundation for building broader milk-based vaccine protection against other pathogens.
Coat color is of great importance in animal breed characteristics; it is not only a significant productive trait but also an indispensable economic trait, especially in the rabbit industry. In the present study, the relationship between melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genotypes and coat color phenotypes was observed in five rabbit breeds with popular coat colors that are present in China. These breeds comprised the Lianshan black rabbit (BR), Fujian yellow rabbit (YR), New Zealand white rabbit (WR), Gray Giant rabbit (GR), and Checkered Giant rabbit (CR), which were firstly determined, and the results showed that GR had an E allele; WR, CR, and BR had a 6-bp in-frame deletion (c.281_286del6, ED allele); and YR had a 30-bp deletion (c.304_333del30 E allele). To explore the feasibility of obtaining a novel rabbit coat color through the mutation of MC1R with the CRISPR/Cas9 system, two single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) were designed for the MC1R gene, and the editing efficiency was confirmed by injection of rabbits’ zygotes. Unlike the donor rabbits whose coat color was originally black, two novel pale-yellow-coated rabbits were generated in the founders. A total of six novel MC1R gene deletions were identified in the two founder rabbits, in which the longest deletion was more than 700 bp. The histological hematoxylin-and-eosin (H&E) staining results indicated that eumelanin amounts were absent in hair follicles of MC1R-knockout (KO) rabbits, when compared with that of donor BR. In addition, the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of some key downstream genes in the MC1R pathway were all downregulated in MC1R-KO rabbits compared with BR and YR. These results further indicate that loss-of-function MC1R contributed to blocking the synthesis of eumelanin and created a novel pale-yellow coat color in the MC1R-KO rabbits, and gene editing technology may be a useful tool to generate novel phenotypes in rabbit breeding.
Myostatin (MSTN), a protein encoded by growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle and negatively regulates the development and regeneration of muscle. Accordingly, myostatin-deficient animals exhibit a double-muscling phenotype. The CRISPR/Cas9 system has proven to be an efficient genome-editing tool and has been applied to gene modification in cells from many model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster, zebrafish, mouse, rat, sheep, and human. Here, we edited the GDF8 gene in fibroblasts and embryos of Debao pig and swamp buffalo using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutation efficiency in fibroblasts was as high as 87.5% in pig and 78.9% in buffalo. We then obtained single-cell clones with mutations at the specific sites of the GDF8 gene by screening with G418 in fibroblasts of pig and buffalo. In addition, the frequencies of Cas9/gRNA-mediated mutations were at 36 and 25% in the intracytoplasmic sperm injection embryos of pig and in vitro fertilization embryos of buffalo, respectively. Our work demonstrates that the Cas9/gRNA system is a highly efficient and fast tool for genome editing in cultured cells and embryos of Debao pig and swamp buffalo. These results can be helpful for the establishment of a new animal strain that can generate more meat.

Cytoplasmic microinjection (CI) of foreign gene into in vivo fertilized zygotes has emerged as a useful tool for transgenic pig production. In the current study, we investigated factors affecting transgenic efficiency and developmental potential of parthenogenetic (PA) and in vitro-fertilized (IVF) porcine embryos produced by CI. These factors included adding of RNase inhibitor, DNA or RNA concentration, injection time, and different structures of plasmids. Our results showed that adding of 1–4 U/μL of RNase inhibitor did not have negative effect on development potential of CI-PA embryos, and RNase inhibitor injection significantly increased EGFP expressing rate of CI-PA embryos. High injection DNA concentration and long injection interval after PA significantly reduced blastocyst formation. Different molecular structures such as DNA or RNA affected CI-PA embryos development, and RNA had little harmful effect on pig’s early embryonic development. EGFP expression rate of CI-IVF embryos was improved following the increase of foreign DNA concentration, but blastocyst formation rate was decreased. Injection time after IVF did not show any significant difference on embryonic development, but longer interval resulted in a significantly lower EGFP expressing rate. Cas9 mRNA and myostatin (GDF-8) sgRNA co-injection indicated that the mutation rate of CI-IVF group was significantly higher than that of CI-PA. The CI-IVF-generated embryos were then transferred to six recipient pigs, but no live piglets were obtained. The following pronuclear formation assessment showed more than 76.1% IVF zygotes were polyspermy. These results demonstrate that CI-PA and CI-IVF were effective methods for production of transgenic pig embryos. However, polyspermic fertilization and poor quality of porcine IVF blastocysts are still the main problem of resulting in pregnancy failure.
