Objective To investigate the role of Th17 cells in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) pathogenesis. Methods 33 CML patients [15 newly diagnosed (ND)- and 18 chronic-phase (CP)- CML patients] and 15 healthy controls were enrolled. The percentage of Th17 cells in the peripheral blood (PB) of CML and controls were evaluated by flow cytometry. RORC mRNA expressions were examined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The levels of IL-17 in PB of CML and controls were measured by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA). The relationships between Th17 cells and clinical characteristics in CML were analyzed. Results The percentage of Th17 cells in PB of ND-CML patients [(0.71±0.41) %] was significantly lower than that of CP-CML patients [(4.08±0.74) %, P<0.05] and healthy controls [(3.18±1.32) %, P<0.05]. The mRNA level of RORC in PB of ND-CML patients (0.043 3±0.040 5) was significantly decreased compared with that in CP-CML patients (0.086 1±0.052 3, P<0.05) and healthy controls (0.091 0±0.058 4, P<0.05). The levels of IL-17 in PB of ND-CML patients [(1.43±0.22) pg/ml] and CP-CML patients [(1.36±0.19) pg/ml] were slightly higher than that of healthy controls [(1.23±0.14) pg/ml, P< 0.05]. The percentage of Th17 cells had significantly negative correlations with white blood cell counts in PB or bcr-abl (IS). Conclusion Th17 cells may play an important role in CML pathogenesis, which has potential implication for immunotherapy of this malignancy.

OBJECTIVETo revalidate the conversion factor(CF)for the conversion of BCR-ABL (P210)transcript levels to the international scale(BCR- ABLIS)in chronic myeloid leukemia(CML) which validated before.
METHODSPeking University People's Hospital(PKUPH)prepared the exchange samples for revalidation of CFs of 15 laboratories which validated nine or eighteen months ago. The fresh BCR-ABL(P210)(+)bone morrow or peripheral blood nucleated cells were diluted with BCR-ABL (P210)(-)cells to achieve different BCR- ABL levels, totally 16 sets and 24 samples per set were prepared. TRIzol reagent was added in each tube. Each laboratory tested BCR-ABL transcript levels of one set of samples. Agreement between BCR-ABLIS of each laboratory and PKUPH was assessed by the Bland- Altman method. For laboratories which did not meet the criteria of revalidation, linear regression equation was derived after the samples with maximum BCR-ABL deviation were removed until R²>0.98, then new CF was calculated.
RESULTS10 laboratories met the revalidation criteria with both bias within ±1.4 fold and 95% limits of agreement within ±6 folds, and their CFs still could be used for accurately conversion of BCR-ABLIS. New CFs were recalculated as of 1.8-6.3 folds of their previous CFs in 5 laboratories not met the criteria.
CONCLUSIONRevalidation of CF by sample exchange among laboratories was necessary for accurate and continuous application of BCR-ABLIS, which not only tested the validity of CF acquired before but also calculated new available CFs for those with invalid CFs.

To explore the effects of honokiol (HKL) on pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: In animal experiment, a total of 40 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group (Con group), a LPS intervention group (LPS group), a LPS+honokiol (HKL) intervention group (HKL group) and a LPS+HKL+nicotinamide (NAM) intervention group (NAM group) (n=10 in each group). In the cell experiment, the experiment cells were divided into a control group (Con group), a LPS intervention group (LPS group), a LPS+HKL intervention group (HKL group), a LPS+HKL+NAM intervention group (NAM group), and a LPS+HKL+compound C (CMC) intervention group (CMC group). The pathological changes of the lung tissues were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; the protein concentration, total cells and neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the lung tissues were detected; the changes of pulmonary microvascular permeability were determined by Evans blue assay; the effect of HKL on the vitality of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8); the inhibitors including NAM and CMC were applied to explore the molecular mechanism of the protective effects of HKL. The expression levels of Sirt3, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, p-adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) and AMPK in lung tissues or cells were detected by Western blot.
Results: In animal models, compared with the Con group, the mice in the LPS group displayed typical ARDS pathological changes, and the ratio of lung wet/dry weight (W/D) and MPO activity in the lung tissues, protein concentration, total cells and neutrophils in BALF, Evans blue leaking index (ELI), expression levels of cleaved caspase-3 were significantly increased (all P<0.05), while the expression levels of Sirt3 was obviously decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the LPS group, the above changes in the LPS group were significantly improved in the HKL group (all P<0.05); Compared with the HKL group, the curative effect of HKL intervention could be partly inhibited in the NAM group (P<0.05). In cell experiments, compared with the LPS group, the HPMECs viability in the HKL group was markedly improved (P<0.05), while the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Sirt3 were significantly upregulated (P<0.05), and the expression levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were significantly downregulated (P<0.05), accompanied by the activation of AMPK pathway (P<0.05) in the HKL group. Compared with the HKL group, the curative effect of HKL intervention was partly inhibited in the CMC group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: HKL can significantly attenuate LPS-induced lung injury and inhibit the apoptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells through regulation of Sirt3/AMPK pathway.

Objective:
To investigate the current status and real performance of the detection of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion transcript levels and WT1 transcript levels in China through interlaboratory comparison.
Methods:
Peking University People’s Hospital (PKUPH) prepared the samples for comparison. That is, the fresh RUNX1-RUNX1T1 positive (+) bone morrow nucleated cells were serially diluted with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 negative (-) nucleated cells from different patients. Totally 23 sets with 14 different samples per set were prepared. TRIzol reagent was added in each tube and thoroughly mixed with cells for homogenization. Each laboratory simultaneously tested RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels of one set of samples by real-time quantitative PCR method. All transcript levels were reported as the percentage of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or WT1 transcript copies/ABL copies. Spearman correlation coefficient between the reported transcript levels of each participated laboratory and those of PKUPH was calculated.
Results:
①RUNX1-RUNX1T1 comparison: 9 samples were (+) and 5 were (-) , the false negative and positive rates of the 20 participated laboratories were 0 (0/180) and 5% (5/100) , respectively. The reported transcript levels of all 9 positive samples were different among laboratories. The median reported transcript levels of 9 positive samples were from 0.060% to 176.7%, which covered 3.5-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.5 to 12.3 (one result which obviously deviated from other laboratories’ results was not included) , 85% (17/20) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ②WT1 comparison: The median reported transcript levels of all 14 samples were from 0.17% to 67.6%, which covered 2.6-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.3-13.7, 62% (13/21) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ③ The relative relationship of the reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 transcript levels between the participants and PKUPH was not always consistent with that of WT1 transcript levels. Both RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels from 2 and 7 laboratories were individually lower than and higher than those of PKUPH, whereas for the rest 11 laboratories, one transcript level was higher than and the other was lower than that of PKUPH.
Conclusion
The reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels were different among laboratories for the same sample. Most of the participated laboratories reported highly consistent result with that of PKUPH. The relationship between laboratories of the different transcript levels may not be the same.
