OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the changes of GATA-1 protein expression during erythroid differentiation of K562 cells under hypoxia and how GATA-1 can regulate erythroid differentiation by up-regulating the expression of miR-451a and inhibiting the expression of 14-3-3ζ.
METHODS:
K562 cells were divided into 2 groups: the normoxia group and the hypoxia group, after the induction of hemin for 96 h, the positive cells rate of the benzidine staining, the mRNA expression of γ-globin and the expression of CD235a were detected, and the success of the model was verified. The changes of GATA-1 and miR-451a expression in the above-mentioned 2 groups, the changes of miR-451a expression after over-expressed GATA-1 were detected by Western blot and qRT-PCR. The cells in normoxic group and hypoxia group were divided into negative control group (NC group) and miR-451a over-expression group respectively, and the degree of erythroid differentiation in the four groups was judged according to the corresponding erythroid differentiation indexes, and the expression of 14-3-3ζ was detected by Western blot after over-expressed miR-451a.
RESULTS:
The positive cell rate of benzidine staining, mRNA expression of γ-globin and the expression of CD235a after 96 h induction by K562 cells under hypoxia were significantly higher than 0 h, suggesting that the erythroid differentiation model of K562 cells under hypoxia was replicated successfully. The expression levels of GATA-1 protein and miR-451a in the hypoxic group were significantly higher than that in the normoxic group (P<0.05). The expression level of miR-451a in hypoxia group was significantly higher than that in NC group after overexpressed GATA-1 (P<0.05). After over-expressed of miR-451a under hypoxia, the positive cell rate of benzidine staining, the mRNA expression level of γ-globin and the expression of CD235a were significantly higher than those in NC group (P<0.05). The expression level of 14-3-3ζ protein in miR-451a over-expressed group was lower than that in NC group under hypoxia (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Hypoxia can significantly increase the expression of GATA-1 protein, and the increase of GATA-1 expression can up-regulate the expression of miR-451a, thereby inhibiting the expression of 14-3-3ζ protein, which hinders the cell proliferation in erythroid differentiation model of K562 cells and plays an important role in promoting erythroid differentiation.

Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2022;39(5):409-413
To investigate the prediction of serum amyloid beta protein level on hemorrhage transformation in acute cerebral infarction and its related factors. Methods A total of 114 patients with acute cerebral infarction were selected from March 2021 to October 2021,and divided into HT group (41 cases) and control group (73 cases) according to whether the hemorrhage was transformed. The general basic information and serum amyloid beta protein level after admission were recorded,and the risk factors of hemorrhage transformation after cerebral infarction were analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in age,gender,history of atrial fibrillation,Hyc and LDL between the two groups (P> 0.05).There were statistically significant differences in serum Aβ level,history of hypertension,history of diabetes,uric acid level and NHISS score(≥10 points) between the two groups (P< 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that history of hypertension,serum uric acid level,NHISS score (≥10 points) and serum Aβ level were nonrisk factors for hemorrhage transformation of thrombolysis acute cerebral infarction. The difference of Aβ level between asymptomatic group and symptomatic group in HT group was statistically significant(P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum Aβ for predicting the risk of hemorrhage transformation after acute cerebral infarction was 0.909,the optimal cutoff value was 166.84ng/ml,the sensitivity was 87.8%,and the specificity was 79.5%. The results of appeal analysis suggest that serum Aβ level can also predict the severity of hemorrhage after transformation. Conclusion History of hypertension,high NHISS score after admission,elevated uric acid level and serum Aβ level in patients with acute cerebral infarction are the influencing factors of hemorrhage transformation.

Objective To identify the differentially expressed proteins in different liver tissues in the mouse model of cystic echinococcosis (CE), so as to provide insights into the research and development of therapeutic drugs targeting CE. Methods Female Kunming mice at ages of 6 to 8 weeks were randomly assigned into the CE group and the control group. Mice in the CE group were intraperitoneally infected with 2 000 Echinococcus multilocularis protoscoleces, while mice in the control group were injected with the same volume of physiological saline. All mice in both groups were sacrificed after breeding for 350 d, and the lesions (the lesion group) and peri-lesion specimens (the peri-lesion group) were sampled from the liver of mice in the CE group and the normal liver specimens (the normal group) were sampled from mice in the control group for data independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics analysis, and the differentially expressed proteins were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) term enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. Results A total of 26 differentially expressed proteins were identified between the lesion group and the normal group and between the peri-lesion group and the normal group, including 8 up-regulated proteins and 18 down-regulated proteins. GO term enrichment analysis showed that these differentially expressed proteins were predominantly enriched in endoplasmic reticulum membrane (biological components), oxidoreductase activity (molecular function) and oxoacid metabolic process and monocarboxylic acid metabolic process (biological processes). KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the differentially expressed protein Acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (Acox1), which contributed to primary bile acid biosynthesis during the fatty acid oxidation, was involved in peroxisome signaling pathway, and the differentially expressed protein fatty acid binding protein 1 (Fabp1), which contributed to fatty acid transport, was involved in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. Conclusion Differentially expressed proteins are identified in the liver specimens between mouse models of CE and normal mice, and some differentially expressed proteins may serve as potential drug targets for CE.

Abstract Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by morphologic features of dyspoiesis, high risk of transformation from MDS into AML. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only curative therapy for MDS, but the failure rate of transplantation is still high, which attribute to relapsed disease and transplant-related complications. Recently, the spectrum of gene abnormalities in MDS has been revealed by next generation genomic sequencing techniques. It was found that more than 80% MDS patients have at least one gene mutation. Mutated genes in MDS are powerfully associated with clinical phenotype and prognosis. In this review , the recent advancements regarding recurrent gene mutations in MDS are briefly summarized, and the prognostic values of gene mutations are discussed in MDS or after allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation,so as to set up a predicting model and to guide the treatment.
