Objective:To investigate the correlations between CO-029 expression and cholangiocarcinoma invasion and metastasis, and the further explore the potential mechanism involved.Methods:The constructed lentiviral vector of vshRNA-CO-029 (LV/GFP/CO-029) was used to transfect and screen the stable transfected cholangiocarcinoma cell line HCCC-9810-vshRNA-CO-029 as the silence group, HCCC-9810 cells transfected with the mock plasmid were used as the mock group, and the untransfected cells were used as the control group. Cell scratch assay, Transwell assay and in vivo implantation assay were used to detect the migration, invasion and metastasis of the three groups of cells. Immunoprecipitation and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α stimulation assay were used to detect the effect of CO-029 on the expression of EMT-related genes.Results:The scratch healing rate of the silence group was (27.11±4.58)%, which was lower than that in mock group (92.84±6.24)%, the number of cells passing through Matrigel in silence group was (57.15±6.10), which was significantly lower than that in mock group (108.20±9.21) and control group (112.00±10.45), the differences were statistically significant ( all P<0.01). The volume of liver tumors in the silence group of orthotopic xenograft mouse model was (2.17±0.54) cm 3, while the volume of liver tumors in the transplanted simulation group was (0.74±0.15) cm 3, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence of lung metastasis and the number of lung metastases in the simulated group was 100%(6/6) and (214.17±35.64), respectively, while that in the silence group was 16.7% (1/6) and (41.56±14.15), respectively, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Co-immunoprecipitation showed that CO-029 can form a complex with TNF-αR1. TNF-α induced the down-regulation of E-cadherin and up-regulation of vimentin and N-cadherin in the mock group, but no significant changes were observed in the silence group. Conclusion:CO-029 expression is positively correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma, and could couple with TNF-α to induce EMT, which is a novel well-established potential prognostic and therapeutic target for cholangiocarcinoma metastasis and prognosis intervention.

Objective To investigate the consistency of omnidirectional M-mode echocardiography and two-dimensional strain in assessment of left ventricular (LV) radial systolic asynchrony. Methods Thirty patients with heart failure (HF) and 28 healthy volunteers underwent omnidirectional M-mode echocardiography and two-dimensional strain at the same time. The time to peak radial systolic movement (T_m) of LV in 12 segments were measured with omnidirectional M-mode echocardiography and its standard deviation (T_m-12-sd), and the maximum difference (T_m-12-dif) were calculated. The time to peak radial systolic strain (T_(SR)) of LV in 12 segments were measured with two-dimensional strain and its standard deviation (T_(SR)-12-sd), and the maximum difference (T_(SR)-12-dif) were calculated. The T_m-12-sd, T_m-12-dif, T_(SR)-12-sd and T_(SR)-12-dif were used as systolic asynchrony indicators. The value (-x)±2s in the control group was defined as the normal upper limit which represents 97.7% of the control group distribution. Any values above this limit in HF patients were classified as LV asynchrony. The results of two methods were analyzed with Kappa test. Results Compared with the controls, T_m-12-sd, T_m-12-dif, T_(SR)-12-sd and T_(SR)-12-dif were significantly higher in the HF group (P<0.001); there was consistency between T_m-12-sd and T_(SR)-12-sd, T_m-12-dif and T_(SR)-12-dif in detecting LV systolic asynchrony in HF group (Kappa=0.661, 0.733). Conclusion T_m-12-sd and T_m-12-dif of omnidirectional M-mode echocardiography have consistency with T_(SR)-12-sd and T_(SR)-12-dif of two-dimensional strain. These two technologies both have ability to evaluate LV radial systolic synchronicity.
