Objective: To study the correlation between the level of T-bet expression and liver damage in peripheral plasma cells of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in order to provide reference for the study of pathogenesis and development of diseases. Methods: The peripheral venous blood and clinical examination data of 29 cases with AIH and 6 healthy volunteers were collected. The percentage of subpopulations of peripheral blood B cells and the proportion of T-bet⁺ cells in each subgroup were detected by flow cytometry. Plasma cells (CD19⁺CD10^-CD27^hiCD38^hi), primary B cells (CD19⁺CD10^-CD27^-IgD⁺), transitional B cells (CD19⁺CD10⁺), and memory B cells (CD19⁺CD10^-CD27⁺IgD^-) were the included subsets of B cells. Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, the proportion of B cells in peripheral blood subsets and IgG level, the proportion of T-bet⁺ cells in each subset and the proportion of T-bet⁺ plasma cells in each subset in B cells, the proportion of T-bet⁺ plasma cells and the level of serum ALT were analyzed for correlation analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using two independent sample t-tests and linear regression. Results: The serum IgG level of AIH patients with abnormal ALT (19.47 ± 1.039)g/L was significantly higher than that of normal ALT patients (15.5 ± 1.069)g/L, and the difference was statistically significant (t = 2.65, P < 0.05). The percentage of peripheral plasma cells in B cells of AIH patients (2.80 ± 0.14) % was higher than that of healthy volunteers (0.73 ± 0.09) %, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The percentage of T-bet⁺ cells in peripheral plasma cells of AIH patients (23.54 ± 1.61) % was higher than that of healthy volunteers (6.59±0.59) % , and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The correlation analysis showed that the proportion of T-bet⁺ cells in peripheral plasma cells of AIH patients was positively correlated with the proportion of plasma cells to B cells (r = 0.224 7, P < 0.01), and the percentage of peripheral plasma cells to B cells was positively correlated with the level of serum IgG (r = 0.299 1, P < 0.01). Serum IgG level was correlated with the level of ALT, reflecting an indicator of liver damage (t = 2.65, P < 0.05). Conclusion The increase of T-bet expression in the peripheral plasma cells of AIH patients is associated with liver damage, which is a new mechanism of AIH pathogenesis and disease progression.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of microRNA-4298 (miR-4298) targeting inhibition of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PADI4) expression in U251 cells apoptosis induced by histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA).Methods:The experiment was divided into TSA group (0.2 μmol/L TSA) and contral group. CCK8 method was used to detect the effect of TSA on the proliferation of U251 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis level of U251 cells after drug action. Reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting experiments were used to determine the changes of PADI4 gene and protein expression after miR-4298 interference. Luciferase assay was used to determine the effects of miR-4298 on targeted binding and luciferase activity in the 3′UTR region of PADI4. U251 cells were transfected with PADI4 to observe the rescue effect of miR-4298 on apoptosis. Each experiment was divided into 3 groups, NC group, miR-4298 mimic group, TSA+ miR-4298 mimic group and NC group, miR-4298 inhibitor group, TSA+ miR-4298 inhibitor group.Results:U251 cells were treated with 0.2 μmol/L TSA for 4 days, the Absorbancy ( A) values of the control group was 1.168±0.148, which was higher than those of the TSA group (0.737±0.007), with statistically significant difference ( t=4.948, P=0.008). Compared with the control group, after treatment with 0.2 μmol/L TSA for 48 h, U251 cells showed obvious apoptosis (27.62%±3.49% vs. 4.99%±0.13%, t=11.190, P<0.001). Compared with those before the drug treatment, the PADI4 gene expression (0.386±0.020 vs. 0.903±0.021) and protein expression (0.276±0.041 vs. 0.777±0.031) after TSA treatment for 48 h both were decreased, with statistically significant differences ( t=30.400, P<0.001; t=16.770, P<0.001). The expression of miR-4298 during the process of TSA-induced U251 cell apoptosis increased (2.573±0.289 vs. 1.003±0.136; t=8.487, P=0.001). There was a negative correlation between the miR-4298 expression and PADI4 expression ( r=-0.877, P=0.002). Luciferase experiment confirmed that miR-4298 has targeted binding and luciferase inhibitory effects on the 3′UTR region of wild-type PADI4. Compared with NC group (0.920±0.026), the relative expression levels of PADI4 gene of miR-4298 mimic group (0.413±0.049) and TSA+ miR-4298 mimic group (0.213±0.035) were decreased, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). The PADI4 protein expression level change was consistent with the gene change trend. Compared with NC group (3.78%±0.68%), the apoptosis levels of miR-4298 mimic group (7.96%±1.10%) and TSA+ miR-4298 mimic group (13.74%±1.26%) were increased, with statistically significant differences ( P=0.005; P<0.001). Compared with NC group (0.183±0.025), the PADI4 gene expression of miR-4298 inhibitor group (0.483±0.032) and TSA+ miR-4298 inhibitor group (0.386±0.025) were increased, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001; P=0.015). The PADI4 protein expression level change was consistent with the gene change trend. Compared with NC group (4.96%±0.59%), the apoptosis levels of miR-4298 inhibitor group (23.83%±2.20%) and TSA+ miR-4298 inhibitor group (9.55%±1.49%) were increased, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). In the rescue experiment, the expression level of PADI4 in miR-4298 mimic group was significantly increased ( P<0.001), while the expression level of PADI4 in miR-4298 mimic+ PADI4 group was relatively reversed ( P=0.002). Conclusion:miR-4298 can participate in the process of U251 cell apoptosis by targeting the expression of PADI4 gene, and miR-4298 may be the target of targeted intervention therapy for glioma.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of improved 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET-CT score (referred to as PSMA score) and multi parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) score (referred to as PI-RADS score) for primary prostate cancer (PCa). Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The imaging and clinical data of 134 suspected PCa patients underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET-CT and mpMRI examinations at Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from July 2018 to May 2023 were collected. Pathological diagnosis showed 92 cases of PCa and 42 cases of benign prostatic lesions. The clinical and imaging parameters, as well as the distribution of patients with two scores, were compared between the two groups. The blind diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions was made based on the improved PSMA score (dividing 1 point into 1a and 1b points, 1b, 2 and 3 points were diagnosed as PCa), PI-RADS score (3, 4 and 5 points were diagnosed as PCa) and the combination of the two (diagnosed as PCa when either PSMA score ≥ 1b point or PI-RADS score ≥ 4 points was met). The indicators of the diagnostic efficiency of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two for PCa were calculated. Using pathological results as the gold standard, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two for diagnosing PCa was drawn, and the diagnostic efficiency of the 3 methods was analyzed. Results:The age, serum prostate-specific antigen, and maximum standard uptake value of PET-CT in the PCa group were higher than those in the benign prostatic lesion group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, false negative rate, false positive rate, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of PSMA score for diagnosing PCa were 91.30% (84/92), 80.95% (34/42), 88.06% (118/134), 8.70% (8/92), 19.05% (8/42), 91.30% (84/92), and 80.95% (34/42), respectively; those of PI-RADS score were 93.48% (86/92), 61.90% (26/42), 83.58% (112/134), 61.90% (26/42), 38.10% (16/42), 84.31% (86/102), and 81.25% (26/32), respectively; those of the combination of the two were 97.83% (90/92), 88.10% (37/42), 94.78% (127/134), 2.17% (2/92), 11.90% (5/42), 94.74% (90/95), and 94.87% (37/39), respectively. The differences in specificity, accuracy, false negative rate, and false positive rate among the 3 methods were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two for diagnosing PCa were 0.930 (95% CI: 0.872-0.967), 0.935 (95% CI: 0.826-0.939) and 0.959 (95% CI: 0.910-0.986), respectively, and the differences between each two methods were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); the sensitivity of PSMA score, PI-RADS score and the combination of the two was 90.11%, 89.13% and 98.09%, and the specificity was 90.48%, 90.48% and 92.09%. Conclusions:Compared with the PI-RADS score, the improved PSMA score can improve the specificity and accuracy of PCa diagnosis, and decrease the false negative and false positive rates; the diagnostic efficiency of the combination of the two is superior.
