ObjectiveTo investigate the expression level of lysophosphatidyllecithin acyltransferase 4 （LPCAT4） in pancreatic cancer and its effect on the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. MethodsIn this study， the differentially expressed genes of patients with KRAS mutant and wild-type pancreatic cancer were analyzed by online database LinkedOmics. The LPCAT4 expression in pancreatic cancer tissues was analyzed online by the University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer Data Analysis （UALCAN）， Sangerbox and gene expression profile interaction analysis 2 （GEPIA2）. Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used to explore the correlation between LPCAT4 and the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer. The expression of LPCAT4 in human pancreatic cancer cells were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. LPCAT4 was knocked down in the high-expressing SW1990 cell line and overexpressed in the low-expressing MIA PaCa-2 cell line. The effects of LPCAT4 expression on cell proliferation were assessed using CCK-8 and EdU assays. STRING and GEPIA2 databases were used to obtain LPCAT4 binding and coexpressed genes in tumors， which were then analyzed by GO and KEGG. ResultsAnalysis of the LinkedOmics online database revealed a significant upregulation of LPCAT4 in patients with KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer compared to patients with KRAS wild-type pancreatic cancer. The online analysis of GEPIA2， UALCAN and Sangerbox 3.0 showed that the expression of LPCAT4 was higher in pancreatic cancer than in normal tissues. Analysis of the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database revealed that high LPCAT4 expression was associated with poorer prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients.Western blot and qPCR results showed that expression of LPCAT4 in pancreatic cancer cell lines was significantly higher than in normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells. Knockdown of LPCAT4 in SW1990 cells inhibited proliferation， while overexpression in MIA PaCa-2 cells promoted proliferation. Enrichment analysis indicated that LPCAT4 was closely related to sulfur metabolism. ConclusionsLPCAT4 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and is associated with poor prognosis of patients. It plays a significant regulatory role in the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells， with its expression level closely correlated with cell proliferation capacity. These findings reveal the critical role of LPCAT4 in the malignant progression of pancreatic cancer and provide important evidence for its potential as a therapeutic target.

BACKGROUND: Pre-transplant exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) significantly increases the risk of allograft rejection after liver transplantation (LT); however, whether ICI-related rejection leads to increased graft loss remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between ICI-related allograft rejection and perioperative graft loss. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of adult liver transplant recipients with early biopsy-proven T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) at Liver Transplantation Center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from June 2019 to September 2024. The pathological features, clinical characteristics, and perioperative graft survival were analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients who underwent early TCMR between June 2019 and September 2024 were included. Based on pre-LT ICI exposure, recipients were categorized into ICI-related TCMR (irTCMR, n = 12) and conventional TCMR (cTCMR, n = 16) groups. Recipients with irTCMR had a higher median Banff rejection activity index (RAI) (6 vs . 5, P = 0.012) and more aggressive tissue damage and inflammation. Recipients with irTCMR showed higher proportion of treatment resistance, achieving a complete resolution rate of only 8/12 compared to 16/16 for cTCMR. Graft loss occurred in 5/12 of irTCMR recipients within 90 days after LT, with no graft loss in cTCMRs recipients. Cox analysis demonstrated that irTCMR with an ICI washout period of <30 days was an independent risk factor for perioperative graft loss (hazard ratio [HR], 6.540; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.067-40.067, P = 0.042). CONCLUSION IrTCMR is associated with severe pathological features, increased resistance to treatment, and higher graft loss in adult liver transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND:The key to preventing the recurrence of intrauterine adhesions is to reconstruct the endometrium with normal function.The latest breakthrough in the treatment of recurrent intrauterine adhesions in and outside China is the use of degradable materials to prepare hydrogels to prevent the recurrence of adhesions. OBJECTIVE:To review the research advance in hydrogel-promoted endometrial repair in intrauterine adhesions. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),and WanFang databases were searched systematically,with the keywords"intrauterine adhesions,endometrial injury,endometrium regeneration,hydrogel"in Chinese and English.Relevant articles published in each database from January 1990 to March 2023 were collected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years,research on hydrogel-promoted endometrial repair in uterine adhesions in and outside China has made some progress and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of intrauterine adhesions and the promotion of endometrial repair:(1)As an important carrier in tissue engineering,hydrogel itself has excellent biocompatibility,biodegradability and three-dimensional network structure,which can be better applied in the treatment of intrauterine adhesions.(2)The hydrogel-based carrier system can promote the proliferation and differentiation of endometrial epithelial cells by transporting drugs/biologics/stem cells,and restore normal uterine morphology to prevent adhesion recurrence.(3)Hyaluronic acid hydrogels can not only meet good biocompatibility,but also promote the proliferation and differentiation of endometrial epithelial cells,and will be hydrolyzed by corresponding enzymes in utero,without affecting the normal metabolism of the body.They are currently commonly used uterine anti-adhesion agents in the clinic and are also the most commonly used hydrogel carriers in tissue engineering research.(4)Poloxamer hydrogel with excellent temperature-sensitive properties can rapidly gelate into the body,quickly form a physical barrier,and can play a slow-release effect on carrying substances and provide a platform for cell growth/adhesion.(5)There are broad prospects for the preparation of therapeutic hydrogels using materials with different characteristics,such as temperature-sensitive hydrogels,pH-responsive hydrogels and photosensitive hydrogels,but there are still many problems to be solved,such as the safety of the hydrogel system,whether the degradation products cause immune reactions,and whether they have an impact on the normal body's menstrual period.A large number of animal experiments and clinical trials are needed to verify its safety and efficacy,and continuously improve the treatment strategy.
