Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of G protein-coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member A (GPRC5A) on the proliferation and apoptosis of laryngeal cancer cells (LCC).Methods:From June 2015 to December 2018, 22 patients with laryngeal cancer were selected from the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Tumor tissue samples and paracancerous tissue were collected. The expression of GPRC5A in laryngeal cancer tissues and laryngeal cancer cells was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot; pcDNA3.1-GPRC5A and control plasmid pcDNA3.1 were transfected into Hep-2 and AMC-HN-8 cells respectively. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect the effect of GPRC5A on the proliferation of laryngeal cancer cells; V-FITC/PI assay was used to detect the effect of GPRC5A on the apoptosis of laryngeal cancer cells; DCFH-DA was used to detect the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in laryngeal cancer cells; Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), E-cadherin and vimentin in laryngeal cancer cells.Results:(1) The expression of GPRC5A in laryngeal carcinoma tissues and laryngeal carcinoma cells was lower than that in adjacent tissues and normal laryngeal epithelial cells ( P<0.05). (2) Overexpression of GPRC5A could inhibit the proliferation of laryngeal cancer cells and the expression of VEGF, E-cadherin and vimentin ( P<0.05); overexpression of GPRC5A could significantly increase the level of ROS, decrease the level of NAD + and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ( P<0.05), increase the apoptosis rate ( P<0.05), and significantly increase the protein expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 ( P<0.05). Overexpression of GPRC5A could inhibit the expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3/suppressor of cytokine signal transduction 3/myelocytomatosis oncogene (STAT3/SOCS3/C-MYC) pathway related proteins ( P<0.05); the expression of GPRC5A in 22 patients with laryngeal cancer were negatively correlated with STAT3 ( P<0.05). (3) STAT3 and C-MYC inhibitors significantly inhibited the expression of VEGF and E-cadherin in Hep-2 cells ( P<0.05), promoted apoptosis ( P<0.05), decreased the level of interleukin (IL)-6 in Hep-2 cells ( P<0.05), and significantly increased the level of ROS in Hep-2 cells. Conclusions:It suggests that GPRC5A inhibits proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), induces oxidative stress and apoptosis of LCC cells potentially by regulating STAT3/SOCS3/C-MYC signaling. These results provide a molecular basis for clinical treatment and diagnosis of laryngeal cancer.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficiency of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) with pattern and red color plastic plates in video-electroencephalography(EEG).Methods Three hundred and fifty-eight patients hospitalized in Wuhan Children's Hospital from March 2013 to March 2014 were selected,and they were examined by using stroboscope with a red plastic plate,a dots printed plastic plate,and ordinary white flicker for photic driving response (PDR),photoparoxysmal responses (PPR),photoconvulsive response (PCR).The results of patients with PDR,PPR,PCR were analyzed.Results The PDR synchronously evoked by the three flickering patterns were in 29 cases,and the amplitude of photic drivings evoked by ordinary white flicker and red flicker were higher than that of flickering dot pattern [(30.294 ± 7.767) μV,(31.103 ± 8.920) μV vs (24.436 ± 8.075) μV],and there were significant differences(t =2.983,2.815,P =0.003,0.008).However,there was no significant difference between ordinary white flicker and red flicker (t =0.368,P =0.710).The PPR evoked were in 17 cases,and 16 cases (94.12％) of them were evoked by red color,while 10 cases (58.82％) wcre evoked by white light,and 1 case only evoked by flickering dot pattern.However,stronger intensity and longer duration time of PPR were evoked by red color than by white light.In 3 patients with positive PCR,the epileptic seizure was more likely to be evoked by red color or pattern plastic plate.Conclusions IPS with red and pattem plastic plate is more potent in eliciting photosensitive epilepsy in video-EEG than the ordinary white light.Moreover,it could reduce the discomfort of eyes without influencing PDR in comparison to the ordinary white light.

Objective To investigate clinical significance and function of microRNA-106b (miR-106b) in retinoblastoma tissues and cells.Methods We detected miR-106b expression in 51 samples of thyroid cancer and the adjacent non-tumor tissues using qRT-PCR.The expression of miR-106b was altered by corresponding vectors in thyroid cancer cells,and then BrdU cell proliferation and flow cytometry assay were performed to examine the proliferation and apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells.Results The expression of miR-106b in thyroid cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in normal tumor-adjacent tissues (0.36±0.029 vs 0.98±0.034,P＝ 0.004).MiR-106b expression in tumor tissues was significantly associated with tumor size and tumor number.MiR-106b was obviously inhibited by miR-106b inhibitor in PTC-I cells (0.96±0.025 vs 0.29±0.032,P＝0.001),and inhibition of miR-106b resulted in significantly increased proliferation (89.33±5.67 vs 136.67±10.33,P＝0.03) and decreased apoptosis (16.33±3.20 vs 7.67±2.45,P＝0.04).On the contrast,over-expression of miR-106b using miR-106b mimics led to significantly decreased proliferation (98.00±4.65 vs 76.33±2.87,P＝0.03) and increased apoptosis (22.54±2.13 vs 32.45±4.34,P＝0.04).Conclusions Decreased expression of miR-106b is correlated with the adverse clinicopathological features of thyroid cancer.MiR-106b can inhibit cell proliferation and apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells,suggesting miR-106b plays a suppressive role in development and progression of thyroid cancer.

This study was aimed to explore the mechanism of Xin-Feng capsule (XFC) on pulmonary function of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) rat model based on the TGF-β1-ERK1 signal pathway. A total of 50 SD rats were ran-domly divided into the normal control (NC) group, model control (MC) group, hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) group, radix paeoniae alba (total glucosides of paeony capsules, TGP) group, and the XFC treatment group, with 10 rats in each group. Except the NC group, the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and the same rat sub-mandibular gland antigen induced method were applied to each rat after metatarsus injection on two feet and CFA after sufficient emulsification of 0.2 mL submandibular gland protein mixed antigen induced SS. The water drink-ing quantity, body weight change, pulmonary function, ERK1, TGF-β1 protein expression and serum cell factor (IL-17, IL-4) changes were detected in each group. The results showed that compared with the NC group, the body quality and serum IL-4 of MC rats were obviously decreased, and the water drinking quantity, submandibu-lar gland / lung index, submandibular gland pathological score, ERK1, TGF-β1 integral and IL-17 were increased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), and the pulmonary function parameter was decreased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the MC group, the body quality, pulmonary function parameters FEF50 and MMF of the XFC group were in-creased, the IL-4 expression was increased, the water drinking quantity, submandibular gland / lung index, sub-mandibular gland pathological score, serum IL-17 expression, ERK1 and TGF-β1 integral were decreased (P <0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the HCQ group, the body quality and IL-17 were significantly decreased in the XFC group (P < 0.01), FEF25, FEF75 and MMF were increased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the TGP group, the lung index and IL-17 were decreased in the XFC group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). It was conclud-ed that the lung function of SS rats was declined, which is closely related to the activation of TGF-β1-ERK1 sig-nal pathway. Traditional Chinese medicine of XFC is able to downregulate the TGF-β1 expression and to restrain epithelium-mesenchymal cell transformation, in order to inhibit ERK1 phosphorylation activation and proliferation, decrease immune inflammation, in order to improve SS and lung function.
