Objective To investigate the function and possible action mechanisms of microRNA hsa-mir-634 in Vero cells.Methods The binding sites for hsa-mir-634 in the 3' UTR of cyclin D1 (CCND1) were predicated by bioinformatics methods.Then,the 3'UTR sequence of CCND1 containing the binding sites for hsamir-634 was amplified by PCR.Site-directed mutagenesis was used to create mutations in the binding sites.The wild and mutant 3' UTR sequences of the CCND1 gene were ligated into the psi-CHECK2 vector separately to construct dual-luciferase reporter vectors,including CHECK2-CCND1 wild,CHECK2-CCND1 mut 1,CHECK2-CCND1 mut 2 and CHECK2-CCND1 mut 3.Then,293T cells were transfected with the four constructed plasmids,and luciferase activity was measured 48 hours after the transfection.Vero cells were transfected with hsa-mir-634 mimics and negative control separately,and harvested after additional culture for different durations; the Vero cells remaining untreated served as the blank control.Subsequently,fluorescence-based quantitative PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of CCND1 respectively in,3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium,inner salt (MTS) assay to evaluate the proliferation of,and flow cytometry to detect the apoptosis in,Vero cells.Results The binding sites for hsa-mir-634 in the 3'UTR of CCND1 were successfully predicated.Sequencing results showed the successful construction of dual-luciferase reporter vectors.As the luciferase assay revealed,the overexpression of hsa-mir-634 could significantly inhibit the CCND1 3'UTR-mediated luciferase activity.Compared with the negative control,the hsamir-634 mimics markedly decreased the protein expression of CCND1,but had no obvious effect on the mRNA expression of CCND1 in Vero cells.The proliferation of Vero cells transfected with hsa-mir-634 mimics was significantly restrained compared with those transfected with the negative control,and the strongest restraining effect was observed on day 4 after the transfection.In addition,the overexpression of hsa-mir-634 also induced the apoptosis of Vero cells,with the apoptosis rate being 8.03%,7.96% and 17.33% in the blank control group,negative control group and mimics group respectively.Conclusion Hsa-mir-634 may regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of Vero cells via influencing the expression of CCND1.

Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) accounts for approximately 10 % of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). It can be divided into three specific entities:extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma), nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) and splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). MALT lymphoma is the most frequent overall, representing 7.5 % of all NHLs. Reports on research progress of MZL in the 58th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting covered multiple respects which ranged from basic research to clinical prognosis and treatment. Based on the technology such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics and FISH, further study on pathogenesis of MZL is developing, and new prognostic index system can help to stratify patients more exactly and give a guidance to treatment. What's more, the change of therapy and new drugs will benefit to the clinical efficacy and safety of MZL patients.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a relatively common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in China. PTCL is clinically highly aggressive, and it progresses rapidly. The current treatment methods are ineffective and the overall prognosis is poor. The 62nd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting reported on the progress of PTCL molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy, including programmed death receptor 1/programmed death receptor ligand 1 antibodies, JAK inhibitors, brentuximab vedotin, etc. These novel drugs bring a better prospect for patients.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) accounting for 10 % to 15 % of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is characterized highly heterogeneous and aggressive clinical course. PTCL patients are prone to suffer from chemotherapy refractory and disease progression. Reports on research progress of PTCL in the 57th American Society of Hematology annual meeting covered multiple respects of PTCL. In basic research, the novel partner genes further improve the pathogenesis mechanism of ALK+anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). For prognostic indicators, GATA-3 expression detected by immunochemical assay provide a novel tool to monitor PTCL prognosis. Belinostat-CHOP, brentuximab vedotin-CHP, romidepsin-ICE regimens and stem cell transplantation provide more options for patients with PTCL, and the novel drugs such as alisertib, darinaparsin and denileukin diftitox offer new hope for PTCL patients in preclinical trials.
