OBJECTIVE:To study the effects and mechanism of rapamycin on invasion and metastasis of cervical cancer HeLa cell. METHODS:HeLa cells were divided into control group and rapamycin low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (10, 30,100 nmol/L). After treated for 48 h,cell viability was measured by MTT assay,and inhibitory rate was calculated;migration and invasion of cell was tested by Transwell assay. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2),MMP-9,Vimentin and E-cadherin,and phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt),mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were detected by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with control group,the inhibition rate of cell viability was increased in rapamycin groups(P<0.01);the number of invasion and metastasis cells decreased(P<0.01);the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 and Vimentin were decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05);the expression of E-cadherin was enhanced(P<0.01 or P<0.05);the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR were reduced (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Rapamycin could inhibit invasion and metastasis of HeLa cell via Akt/mTOR signal pathway.

Objective:To investigate the regulation of Parkin-dependent mitophagy mediated by calcyclin-binding protein and Siah-1 interacting protein (CacyBP/SIP) on apoptosis and cycle of dopaminergic (DA) neurons.Methods:SH-SY5Y cells were divided into model group, control group and CacyBP/SIP group; cells in the model group were treated with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP +, 0.5 mmol/L) for 24 h, and cells in the control group and CacyBP/SIP group were transfected with empty lentivirus or CacyBP/SIP-sgRNA lentivirus on the basis of MMP +(0.5 mmol/L) treatment for 24 h, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of CacyBP/SIP, microtubule-associated protein l light chain 3 (LC3), lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2), phosphatase and tensin homolog ten induced kinase 1 (Pink1), Parkin, P53, Bcl-2, and Bax; flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis and cycle; immunofluorescent single staining was used to detect the expressions of LC3 and LAMP2; immunofluorescent double staining was used to detect the coexpressions of CacyBP/SIP and Parkin. Results:As compared with the model group and control group, the CacyBP/SIP group had significant reduction in protein expressions of CacyBP/SIP, LAMP2, Pink1, and Parkin, LC3-II/I ratio, immunofluorescent staining intensities of LC3-II and LAMP2, and Bcl-2 protein expressions ( P<0.05). As compared with the model group and control group, the CacyBP/SIP group had significantly increased Bax protein expression, significantly decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, significantly increased apoptosis rate, significantly increased P53 protein expression, significantly increased proportion of cells at G1 phase, and significantly decreased immunofluorescent intensity of CacyBP/SIP and Parkin co-expressions ( P<0.05). Conclusion:After knocking out CacyBP/SIP gene, the decrease of Parkin protein leads to cell cycle being arrested at G1 stage, and mediates the decrease of Parkin-dependent mitochondrial autophagy, thereby leading to increased cell apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the current status of endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension in China, and to provide supporting data and reference for the development of endoscopic treatment.Methods:In this study, initiated by the Liver Health Consortium in China (CHESS), a questionnaire was designed and distributed online to investigate the basic condition of endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension in 2022 in China. Questions included annual number and indication of endoscopic procedures, adherence to guideline for preventing esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB), management and timing of emergent EGVB, management of gastric and isolated varices, and improvement of endoscopic treatment. Proportions of hospitals concerning therapeutic choices to all participant hospitals were calculated. Guideline adherence between secondary and tertiary hospitals were compared by using Chi-square test.Results:A total of 836 hospitals from 31 provinces (anotomous regions and municipalities) participated in the survey. According to the survey, the control of acute EGVB (49.3%, 412/836) and the prevention of recurrent bleeding (38.3%, 320/836) were major indications of endoscopic treatment. For primary [non-selective β-blocker (NSBB) or endoscopic therapies] and secondary prophylaxis (NSBB and endoscopic therapies) of EGVB, adherence to domestic guideline was 72.5% (606/836) and 39.2% (328/836), respectively. There were significant differences in the adherence between secondary and tertiary hospitals in primary prophylaxis of EGVB [71.0% (495/697) VS 79.9% (111/139), χ2=4.11, P=0.033] and secondary prophylaxis of EGVB [41.6% (290/697) VS 27.3% (38/139), χ2=9.31, P=0.002]. A total of 78.2% (654/836) hospitals preferred endoscopic therapies treating acute EGVB, and endoscopic therapy was more likely to be the first choice for treating acute EGVB in tertiary hospitals (82.6%, 576/697) than secondary hospitals [56.1% (78/139), χ2=46.33, P<0.001]. The optimal timing was usually within 12 hours (48.5%, 317/654) and 12-24 hours (36.9%, 241/654) after the bleeding. Regarding the management of gastroesophageal varices type 2 and isolated gastric varices type 1, most hospitals used cyanoacrylate injection in combination with sclerotherapy [48.2% (403/836) and 29.9% (250/836), respectively], but substantial proportions of hospitals preferred clip-assisted therapies [12.4% (104/836) and 26.4% (221/836), respectively]. Improving the skills of endoscopic doctors (84.2%, 704/836), and enhancing the precision of pre-procedure evaluation and quality of multidisciplinary team (78.9%, 660/836) were considered urgent needs in the development of endoscopic treatment. Conclusion:A variety of endoscopic treatments for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension are implemented nationwide. Participant hospitals are active to perform emergent endoscopy for acute EGVB, but are inadequate in following recommendations regarding primary and secondary prophylaxis of EGVB. Moreover, the selection of endoscopic procedures for gastric varices differs greatly among hospitals.
