With the gradual improvement in tumor immunotherapy, the incidence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) has increased. However, according to current research, the relationship between irAEs and prognosis remains a contentious issue. This study used bibliometrics research to investigate hotspots and future trends on the relationship between irAEs and prognosis and to serve as a resource for researchers in this field. In the core literature database of Web of Science, the keywords immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs), immune-related adverse events, prognosis were used to search for the articles and reviews in the field of irAEs and prognosis. Set the time parameter to January 2007 to December 2023. Visualization analysis software CiteSpace 6.1.R6, VOSviewer1.6.18 and Carrots2 were used to conduct quantitative statistical and visual research on the author, institution, country, keyword, publication, cited literature, research status, research hotspots and development trends of the relevant research. The analytic research was based on original articles and reviews. 724 articles from 308 countries led by China(147),the United States(131), and Japan(105) were included. The most popular tumor type is melanoma, small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma. The focus topics in this field encompass “Myasthenia gravis,” “neurotoxicity,” “liver damage,” “head and neck adverse events,” “colitis,” and “skin adverse events.” This study has provided a valuable reference for future research in this field. Combination therapy, predictive biomarkers, patients’ preexisting conditions, glucocorticoids, prognostic indicators, ICI rechallenge, and other topics could become research hotspots which will help us to identify useful information from complex big data and provide a basis for precise medicine for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and fatigue are two common diseases endangering human life and health that may interact and reinforce one another. Myocardial infarction survivors frequently experience fatigue, and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases that cause fatigue-induced sudden death. Sheng Mai Yin (SMY), a Chinese medicine prescription, is traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and has been demonstrated to reduce fatigue and safeguard cardiac function.AIM OF THE STUDY:This study aims to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of SMY in treating fatigue and AMI.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The pharmacological mechanisms of SMY in treating fatigue and AMI were predicted by bioinformatics and network pharmacology methods. After administering SMY at high, medium and low doses, the swimming time to exhaustion, hemoglobin level, serological parameters and hypoxia tolerance time were detected in C57BL/6N mice, and the left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), grasp strength, cardiac histopathology, serological parameters and the expression of PINK1 and Parkin proteins were examined in Wistar rats.RESULTS:371 core targets for SMY and 282 disease targets for fatigue and AMI were obtained using bioinformatics and network pharmacology methods. Enrichment analysis of target genes revealed that SMY might interfere with fatigue and AMI through biological processes such as mitochondrial autophagy, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. For in vivo experiments, SMY showed significant anti-fatigue and hypoxia tolerance effects in mice; It also improved the cardiac function and grasp strength, decreased their cardiac index, myocardial injury and fibrosis degree, and induced serological parameters levels and the expression of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and Parkin proteins in myocardium, suggesting that SMY may exert cardioprotective effects in a joint rat model of fatigue and AMI by inhibiting excessive mitochondrial autophagy.CONCLUSION:This study revealed the anti-fatigue, anti-hypoxia and cardioprotective effects of SMY in a joint model of fatigue-AMI, and the pharmacological mechanism may be related to the inhibition of mitochondrial autophagy in cardiomyocytes through the PINK1/Parkin pathway. The discoveries may provide new ideas for the mechanism study of traditional Chinese medicine, especially complex prescriptions, in treating fatigue and AMI.
The dysregulation of protein-coding genes involved in various biological functions is closely associated with the progression of thyroid cancer. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dysregulated gene expressions on the prognosis of classical papillary thyroid carcinoma (cPTC). Using expression profiling datasets from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we performed differential expression analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to identify DEGs, which were used to construct a risk model to predict the prognosis of cPTC patients. Functional enrichment analysis unveiled the potential significance of co-expressed protein-encoding genes in tumors. We identified 4 DEGs (SALL3, PPBP, MYH1, and SYNDIG1), which were used to construct a risk model to predict the prognosis of cPTC patients. These 4 genes were independent of clinical parameters and could be functional in cPTC carcinogenesis. Furthermore, PPBP exhibited a strong correlation with poorer overall survival (OS) in the advanced stage of the disease. This study suggests that the 4-gene signature could be an independent prognostic biomarker to improve prognosis prediction in cPTC patients older than 46.
ObjectiveThe primary objective of this paper is to investigate the research hotspots and future trends of immune-related adverse events induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors, offering valuable insights for researchers in this field.MethodologyUsing the visual analysis software, this study conducted quantitative statistics and visualization research on the relevant literature concerning immune-related adverse events caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors in the Web of Science Core Collection Database. By evaluating the publication trends, countries, institutions, keywords, research status, cited documents, and document co-citations, among several others, the discussion revolved around the hot spots and future development trends in this field and provided references for future research.Findings and conclusionsA total of 514 English articles were included, and the top three countries in the research field at the time of this study were the United States, Japan, and China. More specifically, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital have been the top three research institutes with more than 10 publications. The frequency of keyword use linked to immune-related adverse events caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors in literature research has been steadily growing over the years. Additionally, the research with respect to the disease focuses on melanoma, cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and breast cancer. In the context of drugs, cancer-related research has mainly focused on the combined use of nivolumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Meanwhile, research on adverse events has delved into the immune checkpoint inhibitors causing vitiligo, thyroid dysfunction, pancreatitis, cholangitis, and rheumatism. Related studies cover acute arthritis, myositis, acute kidney injury, as well as the combination therapy of immune checkpoint inhibitors and docetaxel, management of irAEs in cancer immunotherapy, and biomarkers of immune adverse reactions of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Finally, case report studies of immune adverse reactions caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors could serve as research hotspots in the future.
BACKGROUND:As the tissue with the highest selenium content in the body, the occurrence and development of thyroid cancer are closely related to selenium and selenoproteins. Selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) has been repeatedly implicated in several cancers, but its role and molecular mechanisms in thyroid cancer remains largely undefined.METHODS:The expression of SBP1, sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) and thioredoxin (TXN) were analyzed in clinical samples and cell lines. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and tube formation assays were used to analyze the cell viability and tube formation of cells. Immunofluorescence was used to determine the expression of the NIS. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay was carried out to verify the interaction of SBP1 with TXN. The mouse xenograft experiment was performed to investigate the growth of thyroid cancer cells with SBP1 knockdown in vivo.RESULTS:SBP1 was significantly increased in human thyroid cancer tissues and cells, especially in anaplastic thyroid cancer. Overexpression of SBP1 promoted FTC-133 cell proliferation, and the culture supernatant of SBP1-overexpression FTC-133 cells promoted tube formation of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells. Knockdown of SBP1, however, inhibited cell proliferation and tube formation. Furthermore, overexpression of SBP1 inhibited cellular differentiation of differentiated thyroid cancer cell line FTC-133, as indicated by decreased expression of thyroid stimulating hormone receptors, thyroglobulin and NIS. Knockdown of SBP1, however, promoted differentiation of BHT101 cells, an anaplastic thyroid cancer cell line. Notably, TXN, a negative regulator of NIS, was found to be significantly upregulated in human thyroid cancer tissues, and it was positively regulated by SBP1. Co-IP assay implied a direct interaction of SBP1 with TXN. Additionally, TXN overexpression reversed the effect of SBP1 knockdown on BHT101 cell viability, tube formation and cell differentiation. An in vivo study found that knockdown of SBP1 promoted the expression of thyroid stimulating hormone receptors, thyroglobulin and NIS, as well as inhibited the growth and progression of thyroid cancer tumors.CONCLUSION:SBP1 promoted tumorigenesis and dedifferentiation of thyroid cancer through positively regulating TXN.
Background Cryptotanshinone (CPT), an active component extracted from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, exhibits extensive favorable bioactive properties including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antibacterial, and antitumor effects. This study aims to investigate the effects of CPT on osteogenesis and explore related mechanisms both in vivo and in vitro. Methods In the in vivo experiment, ovariectomized (OVX) female rats were intragastrically administered with CPT at doses of 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg for 13 consecutive weeks. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was employed to detect bone mineral density (BMD). ELISA assay was leveraged to detect the biochemical parameters such as BUN and creatinine in the kidney samples. Bone and kidney sections were dyed by H&E and Masson staining kits. In the in vitro experiment, the RAW 264.7 cells were stimulated through the receptor activation of the nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) to establish an osteoclast differentiation model, and CPT's protective effect against bone loss was evaluated. Differentiated osteoclasts were determined by TRAP staining. While, osteoclast-marker proteins such as NFATc1, c-Fos, and cathepsin K were identified by Western blot. Results The results from in vivo experiments revealed that CPT could elevate bone mass and increase bone formation markers in OVX rats. Intriguingly, CPT administration noticeably ameliorated the kidney injury in OVX rats by suppressing BUN and restoring creatinine levels. Furthermore, the results from in vitro experiments suggested that CPT downregulated the protein expression of osteoclast-associated genes such as cathepsin K, c-Fos, and NFATc1 which hinted the related potential mechanisms. Conclusion The evidence from in vivo and in vitro experiments suggested that CPT exerted antiosteoclastogenic effects by inhibiting the activation of osteoclast differentiation followed by suppressing the protein expressions of cathepsin K, c-Fos, and NFATc1 in osteoclast precursors, and it exhibited protective effects against kidney damage, which highlighted its advantage in clinical application.

Hyperammonemia is the excessive accumulation of ammonia in the blood, and is usually defined as a plasma level above 100 µmol/L in neonates or above 50 µmol/L in term infants, children, and adolescents. Patients with hyperammonemia usually experience life-threatening neuropsychiatric symptoms, especially newborns. It is routinely caused by inherited metabolic diseases and also by acquired disorders, such as liver failure, portosystemic shunting, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, ureterosigmoidostomy, renal tubular acidosis, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, infections with urea-metabolizing organisms, and some drugs. Transient hyperammonemia of the newborn (THAN) is a special type of hyperammonemia acknowledged in the field of metabolic disease as an inwell-defined or well-understood entity, which can be diagnosed only after the exclusion of genetic and acquired causes of hyperammonemia. Although the prognosis for THAN is good, timely identification and treatment are essential. Currently, THAN is underdiagnosed and much less is mentioned for early diagnosis and vigorous treatment. Herein, we present common themes that emerge from the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of THAN, based on current evidence. When a newborn presents with sepsis, intracranial hemorrhage, or asphyxia that cannot explain coma and seizures, doctors should always keep this disease in mind.

Backgroud: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common renal malignancies in the urinary system. Numerous studies have demonstrated that miRNAs can regulate tumorigenesis and progression, while the underlying molecular mechanism for miR-6838-5p involved in RCC development is still largely unknown.Methods: The relative expression of miR-6838-5p in RCC tissues, RCC cell lines, adjacent normal tissues and normal renal epithelial cells was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In vitro studies, cell proliferation and invasion in human RCC cell lines ACHN and 786-O were evaluated by CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay, Colony formation assay and Flow cytometry. Bioinformatics analysis, luciferase report analysis and Western blot assay were proved that Cyclin D binding myb-like transcription factor 1 (DMTF1) is the target of miR-6838-5p.Results: Our study confirmed that miR-6838-5p was upregulated in RCC tissues (30/42, 77.43%, P < 0.01) and RCC cell lines (P < 0.05) compared to adjacent normal tissues and normal renal epithelial cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that overexpression of miR-6838-5p significantly increased cell proliferation and invasion in human RCC cell lines ACHN and 786-O (P < 0.05), whereas inhibition of miR-6838-5p inhibited cell proliferation and invasion (P < 0.05). Furthermore, we found that miR-6838-5p binds to the wild-type DMTF1 3'UTR. In addition, we found that DMTF1 was downregulation in RCC tissues and cell lines. Meanwhile, it was demonstrated in ACHN cells that overexpression of miR-6838-5p inhibited the expression of DMTF1. Finally, we also confirmed that the interaction of miR-6838-5p overexpression and DMTF1 overexpression might rescue the inhibitory effects of overexpression of miR-6838-5p on the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), p53, Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and alternative reading frame (ARF) in the DMTF1-mediated ARF-p53 downstream pathway.Conclusions: Our research shows that miR-6838-5p enhances the growth and invasion of renal cell carcinoma dependent on DMTF1 via inhibiting the ARF-p53 pathway, which suggest that miR-6838-5p can be used as a marker for the diagnosis of RCC.

Objective:This research was aimed to explore protective effects of allicin on rat model of myocardial infarction via JNK signaling pathway.Methods:Rat myocardial ischemia model was established with subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (ISO). Seventy-five rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n= 15): sham group, ISO group, low-dose group (1.2 mg/kg/days for 7 days), medium-dose group (1.8 mg/kg/days for 7 days), and high-dose group (3.6 mg/kg/days for 7 days). Routine HE staining and Masson staining were performed to observe myocardial histopathology. The expression of oxidative stress-related indicators, heart tissue apoptosis-related proteins, and JNK and p-JNK proteins were measured for different groups.Results:Compared with the sham group, the T wave value of the ISO group was significantly increased (p <0.01). When allicin was administered, the T wave values at different time points in all groups were all decreased. Compared with the sham group, the ratio of eNOS, Bcl-2/Bax was significantly decreased, and p-eNOS, iNOS, caspase-3, caspase-9, and Cyt-c were significantly elevated in the ISO group (p <0.05). After allicin was administered, significant changes in these proteins were observed in the medium- and high-dose groups. There was no significant change in the expression of JNK protein in the ISO group compared with the sham group; however, the expression of eNOS and p-JNK protein were significantly upregulated (p <0.01) and the expression of p-eNOS and iNOS were significantly downregulated (p <0.01). When allicin was administered, expression of p-JNK protein was significantly downregulated.Conclusion:Allicin can reduce oxidative stress damage and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rat model of myocardial infarction and can significantly regulate JNK signaling pathway.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer with rising incidence. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) LINC01133 is a novel lncRNA that is involved in the development of several types of cancers. However, the role of LINC01133 in RCC has not been reported. Thus, in this study, we investigated the functions of LINC01133 in RCC. The qualitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to examine the levels of LINC01133 in RCC tissues and adjacent tissues, as well as RCC cell lines. The results showed that LINC01133 was highly expressed in RCC tissue specimens and cell lines. Downregulation of LINC01133 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of RCC cells. Further mechanistic investigations proved that LINC01133 directly interacted with microRNA (miR)-30b-5p and regulated the miR-30b-5p expression in RCC cell lines. Moreover, miR-30b-5p exhibited tumor-suppressive activity in RCC cell lines, which was mediated by targeting Ras-related protein Rab-3D (Rab3D). In vivo study showed that LINC01133 knockdown suppressed tumor growth in the nude mice. Taken together, these findings indicated that LINC01133 might be an oncogene in RCC through regulation of the miR-30b-5p/Rab3D axis. Thus, LINC01133 might serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of RCC.
