Objective To investigate the effects of S-allylcysteine ( SAC ) , on nitric oxide ( NO ) production and antioxidant enzyme activities in hyperlipidemic rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups. Five groups including normal control group ( normal diet) , model control group ( high-fat diet, HFD) and SAC low,medium,high treated group (high-fat diet +25,50,100 mg·kg-1 SAC) were sacrificed after 4 weeks dosing,while the other two groups including L-arginine group (normal diet+ 20 mg·kg-1 L-arginine) and SAC+L-arginine group (50 mg·kg-1 SAC+20 mg·kg-1 L-arginine) were sacrificed at 4 h after dosing. The serum, livers and kidneys were collected. The levels of NO, the activities of nitric oxide synthase ( NOS ) , antioxidant enzymes in vivo and L-arginine contents in serum were determined. Results Comparing with model control group, the activities of total NOS in serum and liver were significantly reduced in SAC-treated groups (P<0. 05). The level of L-arginine in SAC-treated groups was (8. 25 ± 1. 15), (7. 76 ± 1. 24) and (7. 22 ± 1. 64)μg·mL-1 , respectively. Compared with model control group, the level of L-arginine were significantly reduced in SAC-treated groups (P<0. 05). Comparing with L-arginine group, the activities of total NOS (T-NOS) and iNOS were reduced in SAC+L-arginine group. SAC treatment (100 mg·kg-1) significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) (P<0. 01) and the level of glutathione (GSH) (P<0.01), and decreased the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and liver of hyperlipidemic rats. Conclusion These data suggest that SAC inhibits the NO production by reducing iNOS activity, arginine concentration and exhibited antioxidant activity, which may play a pharmacologically important role in protection from oxidative injury and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Objective To investigate potential causative associations between immunophenotype traits and cervical cancer by using two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods The genetic instrumental variables(IVs)of 731 immunophenotypes of peripheral blood were obtained from the GWAS Catalog database.The GWAS summary data of cervical cancer were obtained from FinnGen database.The inverse-variance weighted(IVW),weighted mode,weighted median,and MR Egger methods were used for evaluations.The sensitivity analysis and reverse Mendelian randomization analysis were conducted to eliminate bias and reverse causality.The MR Steiger directionality test was further used to ascertain the reverse causal relationship between immune cells and cervical cancer.Results A total of 71 immune cell subtypes associated with cervical cancer were identified,of which 31 had a strong association.The majority of the B cell panel was protective factors for cervical cancer.B-cell activating factor receptor(BAFF-R)was the most frequently expressed molecule in this analysis.It is expressed on several B cell subtypes.The CD20 on IgD+CD38+B cell(OR=1.887,95%CI:1.078-3.306,P=0.026)is the risk factor for cervical cancer.In cDC panels,the CD123 expression on plasmacytoid dendritic cell(OR=2.48,95%CI:1.229-5.003,P=0.011),CD123 expression on CD62L+plasmacytoid dendritic cell(OR=2.5,95%CI:1.231-5.077,P=0.011),CD80 expression on plasmacytoid dendritic cell(OR=2.62,95%CI:1.244-5.515,P=0.011),and CD80 expression on CD62L+plasmacytoid dendritic cell(OR=2.641,95%CI:1.246-5.596,P=0.011)were positively associated with the incidence of cervical cancer.All gynecological cancers in this study have no statistically significant effect on immune cells,according to reverse MR analysis.Conclusion This study emphasized the genetically predicted causality between immune cells and cervical cancer.In clinical practice,it is important to pay attention to the screening of peripheral blood immune cells for patients with cervical cancer.

Objective:To investigate the roles of N6-methyladenosine (m 6A) modification in regulating RP11-426A6.5 in the development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Methods:The methylation and expression levels of lncRNAs were identified and important lncRNAs were screened utilizing long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) m 6A methylation microarray. Cancer and para cancer tissue samples were taken from 48 LSCC patients hospitalized to the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between January and September 2017. Expression profiling microarray was performed in 3 of 48 LSCC samples, and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (MeRIP-qPCR) and quantitative real-time fluorescent PCR (qRT-PCR) were performed in the remaining 45 LSCC samples to verify the m 6A modification and expression levels of RP11-426A6.5. Correlations between RP11-426A6.5 and clinical factors were anlysed. Laryngeal cancer cell line with low expression of RP11-426A6.5 was created in vitro using RNA interference (RNAi) technology. The 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) cell proliferation experiment, wound healing experiment, and transwell invasion experiment were used respectively to measure the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LSCC cells. The effect of RP11-426A6.5 down-regulation on the growth of transplanted tumors in vivo was verified by nude mice tumorigenesis assay. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and sequence-based RNA adenosine methylation site predictor (SRAMP) website were used to predict the enzymes and corresponding methylation sites. MazF digestion was chosen to validate the binding sites. RNAi technology was used to observe the changes in cell function after interfering with the expression of the corresponding genes of the modified enzymes. MeRIP-qPCR was used to detect the level of RP11-426A6.5 m 6A cell line treated with actinomycin D was used to observe the stability of RP11-426A6.5. Results:RP11-426A6.5 methylation and expression levels were significantly higher in LSCC tissues than those in paracancerous tissues (methylation levels: 23.828±4.975 vs 20.280±3.607; expression levels: 1.197±0.314 vs 1.015±0.170, all P values<0.05). RP11-426A6.5 expression levels were closely correlated with T stage (T1-2: 1.081±0.298 vs T3-4: 1.306±0.292, χ 2=5.35, P<0.05). The postoperative survival of patients with high RP11-426A6.5 expressions was significantly lower than that of patients with low RP11-426A6.5 expression ( P=0.046). Assays in vitro and in vivo showed that the downregulation of RP11-426A6.5 significantly decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of LSCC cells and the growth of transplanted tumors. The binding of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), an m 6A-modified enzyme, to the corresponding methylation site of RP11-426A6.5 enhanced its stability and mediated its regulation of malignant behaviors of LSCC cells. Conclusions:RP11-426A6.5 can regulate the malignant behaviors of LSCC cells, which is mediated by the m 6A modification process involving in the methyltransferase METTL3.

Objective:To analyze the genetic landscape of multiple fusion genes in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and investigate the characteristics of immunophenotypes and mutations.Methods:The results of multiple fusion genes from 4192 patients with de novo AML were retrospectively analyzed from 2016 to 2020. In addition, the immunophenotypical data and the mutational results from high-through put method were statistically investigated and correlated as well.Results:①Among the 52 targets, 29 different types of fusion genes were detected in 1948 patients (46.47%) with AML, which demonstrated an "exponential distribution" . ② As the age increased, the number of patients with fusion gene increased first and then decreased gradually. The total incidence rate of fusion genes and MLL rearrangment in children were significantly higher than those in adults (69.18% vs 44.76%, 15.35% vs 8.36%) . ③The mutations involving FLT3 and RAS signaling pathway contributed most in patients with MLL rearrangment. ④No specific immunophenotypic characteristics were found in AML patients with MLL or NUP98 rearrangements. Conclusion:Nearly half of AML patients were accompanied by specific fusion gene expression, the proportions of different fusion genes in pediatric and adults patients were different by multiple PCR. The gene mutations and immunophenotype of these AML patients have certain rules.

Objective: To investigate the degree and distribution of tissue-resident CD8+ T cell (CD103+CD8+T cells) infiltration in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues, and to analyze its relationship to patients’clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods: Tissue chips of 88 cases of colon cancer tissues (No.HColA180Su14) and 77 cases of rectal cancer tissues (No. HRec-Ade180Sur-03) were obtained from Shanghai Outdo Biotech Co.,Ltd. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to examine the infiltration pattern and degree of CD103+CD8+T cells in the collected CRC tissues and their para-cancerous tissues. Wilcoxon rank test was used to compare CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration degree in CRC tissues and the para-cancerous tissues. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration in CRC and patients’clinicopathological features. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration and patients’prognosis. Cox model was applied to analyze the correlation between different clinical parameters and patients’prognosis. Results: CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration presented no signifi ·cant differences between CRC and para-cancer tissues (P>0.05). Patients with distant metastasis had significantly lower CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration rate than patients without distant metastasis (P<0.01). There was no significant correlation between the infiltration of CD103+CD8+T cells and other clinicopathological features (P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) of patients with high CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration was significantly longer than that of the patients with low infiltration (54.42% vs 25.00%, P<0.05). Multivariate Cox model analysis indicated that pathological grade (P<0.01) and high CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration (P<0.05) were independent prognostic factors for CRC. Conclusion： ：CD103+CD8+T cell infiltration in CRC is associated with patients’prognosis, suggesting that CD103+CD8+T cell plays an important role in the initiation and development of CRC.

Objective: To investigate the degree of infiltration and distribution of tissue-resident CD8 + T cells (CD103 + CD8 + T cells) in gastric cancer tissues, and analyze the relationship between the degree of infiltration and clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods: Tissue microarray and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine the CD8 + T cells and CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration in 90 cases of gastric cancer and their adjacent normal tissues. Wilcoxon rank test was used to compare the CD8 + T cells, CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration and CD103 + CD8 + T cells/CD8 + T cells ratio in gastric cancer and corresponding normal tissues. The chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between CD8 + T cells, CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration and CD103 + CD8 + T cells/ CD8 + T cells ratio in gastric cancer tissues and clinicopathological features of the patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to explore the correlation between CD8 + T cells, CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration and CD103 + CD8 + T cells/ CD8 + T cells ratio and overall survival. Cox model was used to analyze the correlation between different clinical parameters and prognosis of the patients. Results: There was no significant difference for the infiltration of CD103 + CD8 + T cells between the gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues (P＞0.05). The infiltration rate of CD103 + CD8 + T cells in the cases in stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ (69.09%, 38/55) was significantly lower than that in the stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ cases (91.43%, 32/35), (χ 2 =6.175, P=0.013). There was no significant correlation between CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration and other clinicopathological features (P＞0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the patients with high CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration showed significantly longer overall survival than the patients with low CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration (HR=2.187, 95%CI: 1.062-4.500, P=0.033 6). Multivariate Cox model analysis indicated that tumor diameter (HR=2.031, 95%CI: 1.163-3.546, P=0.013) and CD103 + CD8 + T cells infiltration (HR=0.516, 95%CI: 0.285-0.934, P=0.029) were independent prognostic factors for gastric cancer. Conclusion CD103 + CD8 + T cells in gastric cancer tissues should be associated with good prognosis, suggesting that they play an important role in the inhibition of gastric carcinogenesis and development, and can be used as an important factor for the prognosis evaluation of the patients with gastric cancer.
