Objective To study the effect and mechanism of S1PR2 inhibition on epithelial ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Methods(1)A pair of S1PR2 gene small interference RNA(siRNA),namely si-S1PR2,and a pair of negative control siRNA were designed.Western blot methods were used to detect the silence efficiency of the S1PR2 in the si-S1PR2 group,blank control group and negative control group.(2)Study in vitro: the experiment included three groups, namely si-S1PR2 group, blank control group and negative control group. Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to detect the proliferation inhibition rates of the transfected cells. The cell cycles of the transfected cells were measured by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the levels of phosph-extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2(p-ERK1/2)of the transfected cells.(3)Study in vivo:to establish intraperitoneal transplantation models, 8 mice in each group were intraperitoneally injected with 5×106SKOV3 cells. Phosphate buffered saline(PBS)or JTE-013 were administered into mice twice per week starting on day 7 after the injection of the cancer cells. Twenty-eight days after nude mice intraperitoneal injection with JTE-013 or PBS,the mice were sacrificed and the number and the weight of visible tumors were calculated. Results(1)The results of western blot showed that the relative S1PR2 protein expression levels were 0.24±0.04 in the si-S1PR2 group,which was lower than that in the blank control group(1.10±0.14,P<0.01) and negative control group(1.07 ± 0.13, P<0.01).(2)The results of CCK-8 assay indicated that after transfected for 24, 48 and 72 hours, the proliferation inhibition rate of si-S1PR2 group were respectively (26.6±3.3)%,(35.0±3.4)%,and(34.0±2.8)%,significantly lower than those in the blank control group (all 0;all P<0.01)and negative control group[(1.7±0.9)%,(2.5±0.5)%,and(2.4±1.1)% respectively;all P<0.01].The results of flow cytometry showed that the G0/G1ratio in the si-S1PR2 group[(70.9±2.8)%]was significantly higher than those in the blank control group[(61.7±2.4)%,P<0.01]and negative control group [(62.1 ± 3.3)%, P<0.01]. Western blot showed that the relative expression level of p-ERK1/2 in si-S1PR2 group(0.11±0.03)was significantly lower than those in the blank control group[(0.62±0.09),P<0.01]and negative control group[(0.68±0.09),P<0.01].(3)Twenty-eight days after nude mice intraperitoneal injection with JTE-013 or PBS,the tumor number of the control group and JTE-013 group were respectively 15.4±4.3 and 8.2±3.7,the tumor weight were(0.45±0.12)and(0.21±0.07)g,respectively.The tumor number and weight in the JTE-013 group were significantly less than those in the control group(all P<0.01). Conclusions The growth of ovarian cancer cells could be decreased by S1PR2 inhibition in vitro and in vivo. One of the mechanisms of the growth inhibitory effect is probably that S1PR2 inhibition lower the phosphorylation level of extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)pathway, which prevent the transformation of ovarian cancer cells from phase G1to S.

Cell membrane camouflaged nanoparticles have been widely used in the field of drug leads discovery attribute to their unique biointerface targeting function. However, random orientation of cell membrane coating does not guarantee effective and appropriate binding of drugs to specific sites, especially when applied to intracellular regions of transmembrane proteins. Bioorthogonal reactions have been rapidly developed as a specific and reliable method for cell membrane functionalization without disturbing living biosystem. Herein, inside-out cell membrane camouflaged magnetic nanoparticles (IOCMMNPs) were accurately constructed via bioorthogonal reactions to screen small molecule inhibitors targeting intracellular tyrosine kinase domain of vascular endothelial growth factor recptor-2. Azide functionalized cell membrane acted as a platform for specific covalently coupling with alkynyl functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles to prepare IOCMMNPs. The inside-out orientation of cell membrane was successfully verified by immunogold staining and sialic acid quantification assay. Ultimately, two compounds, senkyunolide A and ligustilidel, were successfully captured, and their potential antiproliferative activities were further testified by pharmacological experiments. It is anticipated that the proposed inside-out cell membrane coating strategy endows tremendous versatility for engineering cell membrane camouflaged nanoparticles and promotes the development of drug leads discovery platforms.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Anmeidan (AMD) on cognitive function, cytochrome C (Cyt C) signaling pathway protein expression, and apoptosis in a geriatric sleep deprivation model. MethodSixty aged C57 mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, AMD high, medium, and low dose (26.26, 13.13, 6.565 g·kg-1·d-1) groups, and a melatonin group (1.3 mg·kg-1·d-1), with 10 mice in each group. Continuous sleep deprivation was performed for 4 weeks using a homemade sleep deprivation box. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze, and morphological changes in pyramidal cells in the CA1 area of the hippocampus were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the mitochondrial morphology and structure of hippocampal neurons. Western blot was used to detect Cyt C, cysteine-aspartate protease-3 (Caspase-3), cysteine-aspartate protease-9 (Caspase-9), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), and voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) protein expression. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect protein expression levels of Cyt C, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9, and immunofluorescence was used to detect the protein expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax). ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed prolonged platform latency (P<0.01), reduced number of platform crossings, and reduced time and distance in the target quadrant (P<0.01). The mitochondrial structure was damaged, with disappearance or breakage of cristae, and increased swelling and deformation. The protein expression levels of Cyt C, Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Bax, and VDAC1 were significantly increased (P<0.01), while BDNF, TFAM, and Bcl-2 protein expression levels were decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the AMD high, medium, and low dose groups improved spatial exploration and navigation abilities in geriatric sleep-deprived mice (P<0.05, P<0.01), alleviated mitochondrial damage, and increased the number of Nissl bodies. Additionally, the expression levels of Cyt C, Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Bax, and VDAC1 proteins were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the expression levels of BDNF, TFAM, and Bcl-2 proteins were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionAMD improved the cognitive function of geriatric sleep-deprived mice, and its effect may be related to the reduction of apoptosis mediated by the Cyt C signaling pathway.

The traditional view is that breast reconstruction is not an option for day surgery center. As a result, few hospitals in the world conduct this operation in day surgery center. Endoscopic breast reconstruction with liposuction and robot-assisted breast reconstruction are minimally invasive surgeries for breast cancer patients, but they cannot be carried out in the day surgery center due to long operation time. The novel endoscopic-assisted immediate implant-based breast reconstruction after nipple sparing mastectomy through a single axillary incision for breast cancer patients has been successfully conducted in the day surgery center in our hospital due to short operation time and small trauma. Standardized management of the complete process from the patient selection to follow-up after discharge brings rapid recovery and few complications. At the same time, the development of endoscopic surgery makes the breast almost scarless and improves aesthetic results. Therefore, the mode of endoscopic-assisted reconstruction in the day surgery center of our hospital is expected to be popularized in the whole country.

Objective To explore the surgical technique and preliminary results of endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (E-NSM) and immediate pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction (BR) with titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TiLoop Bra) via single axillary incision for breast cancer patients. Methods The clinical data of 9 consecutive female patients who underwent E-NSM and immediate pre-pectoral implant-based BR with TiLoop Bra from March to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age of patients was 40.6 (22-60) years. The operation time, early complications were collected, and the patients' social and mental health, breast satisfaction and chest function before and after the operation were assessed with the BREAST-Q questionnaire. Results All the patients had unicentric tumor with a mean diameter of 2.4 (0.6-4.7) cm. The mean distance from the tumor to the nipple was 2.5 (2-4) cm. There were 2 patients with tumor stage 0 and 7 patients with stageⅠ. The mean operation time was 161.1 (125-201) min, the mean blood loss was 41.1 mL and the hospital stay time was 1.5 d. There were 5 patients in the day-care unit. All the patients were successfully followed up with a median follow-up time of 1 (1-2) month. One (11.1%) patient with depigmentation of the nipple-areola complex caused by mild ischemia. None of the patients had incision complications, subcutaneous emphysema, hematoma, infection, nipple-areola or skin flaps necrosis, implant loss. During the follow-up period, no local/regional recurrence or distant metastasis was found. Chest well-being was decreased in the first month after the surgery compared with preoperative status, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.001). There was no statistical difference in the breast satisfaction or psychosocial function scores between pre- and post-operation (P>0.05). Conclusion E-NSM and immediate pre-pectoral implant-based BR with TiLoop Bra via single axillary incision has minimal trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, short operation time, few early complications and good early cosmetic effect, and the short-term result is satisfactory.
