[摘 要] 目的:探讨KH型剪切调节蛋白(KHSRP)靶向调控JAK1/STAT3信号轴对食管胃结合部腺癌(AEG)细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭及移植瘤生长与肺转移的影响。方法:收集2017年1月至2018年12月间在淮河医院确诊的64例AEG组织和癌旁组织标本及临床资料,采用免疫组化法观察AEG组织和癌旁组织中KHSRP的表达水平。qPCR法检测AEG细胞OE-19、TE-7、BIC-1、FLO-1、SK-GT-4、BE-3与正常食管上皮细胞Het-1A中KHSRP的表达差异。通过慢病毒载体对KHSRP进行敲减和过表达处理,分别转染OE-19与TE-7细胞、FLO-1与SK-GT-4细胞,实验分为sh-NC组、sh-KHSRP组和Vector组、KHSRP过表达组(KHSRP组)。采用qPCR法检测敲减或过表达效率,CCK-8法、Transwell小室法分别检测敲减或过表达KHSRP对AEG细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。构建小鼠异种移植瘤和肺转移模型,观察KHSRP对移植瘤体内生长和转移的作用。WB法验证KHSRP靶向JAK/STAT信号通路。细胞拯救实验验证KHSRP是否通过调节JAK1/STAT3信号通路促进AEG细胞的恶性进程。结果:与癌旁组织相比,AEG组织中KHSRP表达水平显著增高(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。细胞功能实验分析显示,KHSRP过表达在体外均显著促进AEG细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。动物实验结果显示,KHSRP在裸鼠体内具有促进AEG细胞移植瘤生长与肺转移的作用(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。在敲减KHSRP后,JAK/STAT信号通路中JAK1、STAT3磷酸化水平均明显降低,过表达KHSRP后情况则均反之(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。细胞拯救实验显示,KHSRP可以逆转敲减JAK1/STAT3对细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的抑制作用(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。结论:KHSRP通过激活JAK1/STAT3信号通路调控AEG细胞转移的恶性进程,KHSRP有望成为AEG临床治疗的潜在靶点。

[摘 要] 目的:探究蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶D(PTPRD)去甲基化通过PI3K/Akt/mTOR通路对胃癌细胞增殖、迁移及化疗耐药性的影响。方法:体外培养胃癌细胞MKN-74、MKN-45和人胃黏膜上皮细胞GES-1并检测PTPRD表达。常规培养MKN-45细胞及耐药MKN-45/5-FU细胞,分别转染PTPRD空载体(NC组、NC/5-FU组)、PTPRD过表达腺病毒(PTPRD组、PTPRD/5-FU组)、shRNA空载体(sh-NC组、sh-NC/5-FU组)、shRNA-PTPRD慢病毒(sh-PTPRD组、sh-PTPRD/5-FU组)和PTPRD过表达腺病毒 + 10 μmol/L 740Y-P处理(PTPRD + 740Y-P组、PTPRD + 740Y-P/5-FU组)。MTT法、划痕愈合实验检测各组细胞的增殖活力和迁移能力,细胞自噬实验检测细胞的自噬水平,WB法检测细胞中EMT和PI3K/Akt/mTOR通路相关蛋白的表达。采用0、2.5、5、10、20、40 μmol/L的5-aza处理MKN-45细胞,qPCR法、MTT法检测细胞中PTPRD mRNA表达和细胞增殖活力。结果:PTPRD mRNA和蛋白在胃癌细胞中均呈低表达(P < 0.05)。与MKN-45组相比,PTPRD组自噬体与自噬溶酶体数量、PTPRD、上皮钙黏素(E-cadherin)、BAX蛋白表达均增加(均P < 0.05),细胞增殖活力、细胞迁移率、p-PI3K、波形蛋白(vimentin)、p-Akt、p-mTOR蛋白表达均降低(均P < 0.05),sh-PTPRD组细胞增殖活力、细胞迁移率、p-PI3K、vimentin、p-Akt、p-mTOR蛋白表达均增加(均P < 0.05),自噬体与自噬溶酶体数量、PTPRD、E-cadherin、BAX蛋白表达均减少(均P < 0.05);与PTPRD组相比,PTPRD + 740Y-P组细胞增殖活力、细胞迁移率、p-PI3K、vimentin、p-Akt、p-mTOR蛋白表达均增加(均P < 0.05),自噬体与自噬溶酶体数量、PTPRD、E-cadherin、BAX蛋白表达减少(均P < 0.05)。随着5-aza浓度的增加,MKN-45细胞中PTPRD mRNA表达增加、细胞增殖活力均降低(均P < 0.05)。与MKN-45/5-FU组相比,PTPRD/5-FU组细胞迁移率、细胞增殖活力均降低(均P < 0.05),sh-PTPRD/5-FU组细胞迁移率、细胞增殖活力均增加(均P < 0.05);与PTPRD/5-FU组相比,PTPRD + 740Y-P/5-FU组细胞迁移率、细胞增殖活力均增加(均P < 0.05)。结论:PTPRD在胃癌细胞中呈低表达状态,PTPRD去甲基化可能通过抑制PI3K/Akt/mTOR信号通路抑制胃癌细胞增殖、迁移并增强其对化疗的敏感性。

Background/Aims:
Systemic Inflammation (SI) is considered a key mechanism in disease progression and development of complications in decompensated liver cirrhosis. SI is mainly driven by portal hypertension and bacterial translocation. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion represents an effective treatment for portal hypertension. This study aims to investigate the impact of TIPS insertion on SI and bacterial translocation.
Methods:
We prospectively included 59 cirrhotic patients undergoing TIPS insertion. Blood samples were collected at TIPS insertion and follow-up (FU) 1, 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter. At all time points, we performed a comprehensive analysis of SI including 43 soluble inflammatory markers (SIMs), and surrogates of bacterial translocation (sCD14, sCD163). To investigate long-term kinetics of SI, C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells (WBC) were retrospectively analyzed in a cohort of 177 patients up to 3 years after TIPS insertion.
Results:
At TIPS insertion, 30/43 SIMs, sCD14, and sCD163 measured significantly higher in cirrhotic patients compared to healthy controls. By FU6 25 SIMs and sCD14 measured at significantly lower levels compared to baseline. Interestingly, in patients with TIPS indication of refractory ascites, IL-6 decreased to levels documented in earlier stages of cirrhosis. In long-term follow-up, CRP levels significantly decreased after TIPS insertion, which translated into lower mortality in Cox regression analysis (HR 0.968, p=0.042). Notably, patients with residual ascites post-TIPS showed significantly higher CRP and IL-6 levels across all follow-ups compared to patients with resolved ascites.
Conclusions
Decreasing portal hypertension via TIPS insertion leads to a significant attenuation of SI and bacterial translocation over time.

Thermal analysis technology has emerged as a pivotal tool for the identification and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) owing to its advantages of high sensitivity and capability for simultaneous multi-parameter detection. The application progress on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in four key areas: authenticity identification of herbal medicines, optimization of processing techniques, evaluation of extract thermal stability, and construction of quality evaluation systems were summarized. Thermal analysis technology enables rapid authentication of medicinal materials by establishing a thermal fingerprint. When integrated with hyphenated techniques (e.g., FTIR and GC-MS), it facilitates in-depth analysis of compositional differences in complex matrices. In Future, the development of thermal analysis databases and multi-technology integration will be expected to further promote the standardization of TCM quality control.
