[Abstract] Objective: To detect the expression of miR-126 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to analyze its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients, as well as to explore the effect of miR-126 over-expression on the malignant biological behaviors of Tca8113 cells. Methods: A total of 62 pairs of cancer and para-cancerous tissue specimens from OSCC patients who were surgically treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2016 to June 2018 were collected for this study; in addition, human tongue squamous carcinoma Tca8113 cell line and human mouth keratinocyte HOK cell line were also selected for this study. The expression of miR-126 in cancer tissues and cells was detected by qPCR, and the relationship between miR-126 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients was analyzed. miR-126 mimics and miR-NC plasmids were respectively transfected into Tca8113 cells by liposome transfection technology. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were detected by MTT method, Flow cytometry and Transwell chamber method, respectively; and the expressions of apoptosis, migration and invasion related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results: The expression level of miR-126 in OSCC tissues and Tca8113 cells was significantly lower than that in para-cancerous tissues and HOK cells (all P<0.01). The expression of miR-126 was associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05), and patients with high miR-126 expression had significantly better overall survival rate than patients with low expression (P<0.05). After transfection with miR-126 mimics, the cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) while the apoptosis rate significantly increased in Tca8113 cells (P<0.01), the expression levels of Bcl-2, N-cadherin and vimentin in Tca8113 cells significantly decreased (all P<0.01), and expression levels of Bax and E-cadherin significantly increased (all P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-126 is low expressed in OSCC tissues and Tca8113 cells. Up-regulation of miR-126 inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promotes apoptosis of Tca8113 cells.

[摘 要] 目的:探讨甲基转移酶样因子3(METTL3)在食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)组织和细胞中的表达水平及其对ESCC细胞糖酵解和增殖能力的影响和潜在的分子机制。方法:基于TCGA数据库分析METTL3在ESCC细胞中的表达及可能的富集通路。收集2021年1月至2021年6月间在北川医学院附属医院外科手术切除的34例ESCC组织及相应癌旁组织,采用免疫组化法验证ESCC组织中METTL3的表达。采用CCK-8法和平板克隆形成实验检测干扰METTL3后ESCC细胞增殖能力的变化,利用比色法检测干扰METTL3后ESCC细胞总RNA中m6A的表达水平,采用甲基化RNA免疫沉淀定量PCR(MeRIP-qPCR)检测METTL3对葡萄糖转运蛋白4(GLUT4)基因mRNA的m6A修饰水平的影响,采用WB和qPCR等技术探索METTL3参与ESCC细胞糖酵解的生物学机制。结果:METTL3在ESCC组织以及细胞中均呈高表达(均P<0.001)。干扰METTL3表达后,ESCC细胞的增殖能力明显减弱、细胞内总RNA的m6A修饰水平显著降低(均P<0.001)。此外,干扰METTL3可显著抑制KYSE150和TE-1细胞中GLUT4基因mRNA的m6A修饰水平(均P<0.01),并通过下调GLUT4的表达抑制葡萄糖的摄取以及乳酸的释放(均P<0.01),最终下调mTORC1通路活性并抑制ESCC细胞的增殖;在干扰METTL3的ESCC细胞同时联合运用mTORC1通路抑制剂显示有协同的抗癌作用。结论:METTL3介导的m6A修饰通过调控GLUT4-mTORC1信号轴影响ESCC细胞的糖酵解及增殖。

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),which is also the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the treatment methods are limited at present. More and more evidences have indicated that inflammatory response is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of DN. Several anti-inflammatory strategies that target specific inflammatory mediators (transcription factors, pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules) and intracellular signaling pathways have shown benefits in the DN rodent model. The mechanisms related to inflammation in the development and progression of DN were summarized and new strategies to prevent or treat DN based on inflammation were briefly discussed in this review.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the most serious subtype of cervical spondylosis and the most common cause of spinal cord injury. At present, it is considered that mechanical compression and ischemic changes caused by spinal stenosis constitute the pathophysiological basis of spinal stenosis, and the dynamic instability of cervical spine is also an important factor causing spinal cord injury. Its clinical manifestations and physical examinations are complex and varied, and often need to be differentiated from some geriatric diseases. In addition to the abnormal long bundle sign caused by upper motor neuron injury, about 51.9% of cervical spondylotic myelopathy patients also have root lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging is the preferred method of examination in patients with suspected cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Compared with magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging is much more sensitive in detecting early patients. It is suggested that, patients with moderate to severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy should receive surgery, and patients with mild cervical spondylotic myelopathy should consider conservative treatment within three years from the beginning of diagnosis.
