Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of LncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 on the proliferation,mi-gration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.Methods Lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line was cultured in vitro,and transient transfection of OTUD6B-AS1 and empty plasmid group were used as the control group.Overexpression and control cell mod-els were constructed,and divided into OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression group and empty plasmid group(NC group).The cell model was divided into the empty plasmid group(NC group)and OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression group.The transfection efficiency of OTUD6B-AS1 mRNA was verified through qRT-PCR.The CCK-8 experiment was used to detect the effect of OTUD6B-AS1 on the prolifera-tion activity of lung adenocarcinoma cells,and the Transwell assay was used to detect the effect of OTUD6B-AS1 on the migration and invasion ability of lung adenocarcinoma cells.Results Compared to the NC group,the overexpression OTUD6B-AS1 group had a sig-nificant increase in the expression of OTUD6B-AS1(P<0.05).The CCK-8 assay results showed that the proliferation activity of A549 cells in the OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression group was significantly reduced compared to the NC group(P<0.05).The results of the Transwell assay showed that the OTUD6B-AS1 overexpression group had significantly lower cell migration and invasion abilities than the NC group(P<0.05).Conclusion Overexpression lncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells can signifi-cantly inhibit the proliferation,migration,and invasion ability of A549 cells.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular regulatory mechanism of cancer susceptibility candidate 15(CASC15),a long-stranded non-coding RNA(lncRNA),in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Bioinformat-ics methods were used to predict the expression of target genes and analyze the relationship between the expression of target genes and the survival time of patients;Hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues from patients with HCC were collected;CCK-8,Tr-answell,and flow cytometry experiments were used to detect proliferation,invasion,migration and apoptosis of SMMC7721 cells and Huh-7 cells;The dual-luciferase assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between miR-144-3p and CASC15,as well as leucine rich repeat containing protein 1(LRRC1);RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expression of target genes;Immunofluorescence was used for protein localization of target genes;Replicate experiment was performed to verify the effect of CASC15/miR-144-3p/LRRC1 on the progression of HCC.In vivo experiment was performed to verify the effect of CASC15 on HCC progression.Results TCGA database and RT-qPCR assay showed high expression of CASC15,low expression of miR-144-3p,and high expression of LRRC1 in HCC tissues and cells(P<0.05).The results of cell function experiments on proliferation,inva-sion and migration showed that CASC15 and LRRC1 played a promoting role in tumor development,while miR-144-3p had an inhibi-tory effect,consistent with the results of apoptosis experiments(P<0.05).Cell function experiments showed that CASC15 inhibited miR-144-3p function,miR-144-3p inhibited LRRC1,and CASC15 bound to miR-144-3p,leading to the upregulation of LRRC1.The replicate experimental results indicated that CASC15 promoted LRRC1 expression through inhibiting miR-144-3p,thereby pro-moting HCC cell proliferation,invasion and migration,and inhibiting apoptosis.Conclusion CASC15 may promote HCC progression by regulating the miR-144-3p/LRRC1 axis.

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of interleukin-38(IL-38)in patients with breast cancer and its regulatory function to CD8+T cell activity.Methods 44 patients with breast cancer,25 patients with benign breast tumor,and 20 controls,who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from July 2020 and Sep-tember 2022.Mononuclear cells from plasma and peripheral blood of all subjects were isolated,tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from tumor tissues of breast cancer patients were isolated,and CD8+T cells were purified.IL-38 protein level in the plasma was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The relative level of IL-38 mRNA in the tissue was semi-quantified by real-time quantitative PCR.Recombinant human IL-38 was used to stimulate CD8+T cells from peripheral blood and tumor tissue from patients with breast cancer.A co-culture system was established between CD8+T cells and breast cancer MCF-7 cell line.The percentage of target cell death was calculated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase level in the supernatants.The levels of perforin,granzyme B,inter-feron-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the supernatants were measured by ELISA.The immune checkpoint molecules ex-pression in CD8+T cells were detected by flow cytometry.Results The levels of plasma IL-38 were significantly higher in patients with breast cancer(74.23±19.88 pg/mL)compared with in patients with benign breast tumor(62.87±16.27 pg/mL,P=0.018)and controls(61.77±12.75 pg/mL,P=0.013).The relative expression of IL-38 mRNA in tumor tissues was significantly higher than in para-tumor tissues(1.57±0.22 vs.1.00±0.18,P<0.001).The proportion of target cell death induced by peripheral and tumor-in-filtrating CD8+T cells,and the levels of perforin and granzyme B secretion in direct contact co-culture group were higher than those in indirect contact co-culture group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences of either interferon-γ or TNF-α levels between di-rect contact and indirect contact co-culture group(P>0.05).In the direct contact co-culture group,the levels of target cell death pro-portion,perforin,granzyme B,interferon-γ and TNF-α l in the IL-38 stimulation group were lower than those in the non-stimulation group(P<0.05).In the indirect contact co-culture group,the target of cell death proportion,interferon-γ and TNF-α the IL-38 stimulation group were also lower than those in the non-stimulation group(P<0.05).However,there were no statistical differences of either perforin or granzyme B levels between the IL-38 stimulation group and non-stimulation group within the indirect contact co-culture group(P>0.05).There were also no differences in the levels of immune checkpoint molecules in CD8+T cells between the non-stimulation group and the IL-38 stimulation group(P>0.05).Conclusion Highly expressed IL-38 in patients with breast cancer may be involved in inducing CD8+T cell functional failure.

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the application of baseline neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet count-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),monocyte-lymphocyte ratio(MLR),and pan-immune inflammation value(PIV)in the use of PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and establish a prognosis-related nomogram model.Methods The clinical data of 77 patients with driver gene-negative advanced NSCLC who received first-line PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were retro-spectively analyzed.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to determine the independent prognostic factors of progression-free survival(PFS);A prognostic-related nomogram model was established,and the accuracy of prediction model was e-valuated through consistency index.Results Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that MLR,PIV,brain metastasis,and pleu-ral metastasis were independent factors affecting PFS in patients with driver gene-negative advanced NSCLC(P<0.05).The nomo-gram prognostic model constructed based on the Cox regression results had a good predictive ability(C-index value was 0.786,95%CI:0.721-0.851).The ROC curve showed that the combined effect of MLR and PIV in detecting the prognosis of PFS(AUC=0.717,P=0.001)was better than that of MLR(AUC=0.643)and PIV(AUC=0.640).Conclusion MLR,PIV,brain metastasis,and pleural metastasis can predict the prognosis of driver gene-negative advanced NSCLC patients treated with first-line chemothera-py combined with PD-1 inhibitors.The established nomogram model has high accuracy and clinical practicability.The predictive per-formance of combined detection of MLR and PIV may be better than that of separate detection of MLR and PIV.
