Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is an important cellular transcription factor. The important role of NF-κB-mediated cell signal transduction pathway in apoptosis is a hot topic at home and abroad. In order to discover new regulators in NF-κB signaling pathway, a high-throughput cell-based screening model based on dual luciferase reporters system was established, a number of genes that can activate NF-κB signal pathway were obtained by screening of 439 novel function genes. Among them, TMEM9B can obviously activate NF-κB signaling pathway. Further experiments showed that TMEM9B activated NF-κB signaling pathway in a dose-dependent pattern. Western blotting and EMSA experiments confirmed that TMEM9B can promote the degradation of IκBα (a cytoplasm inhibitor of NF-κB), and cause NF-κB shift from the cytoplasm to nucleus. At the same time, flow cytometry result demonstrated TMEM9B can induce apoptosis in HEK293T and HeLa cells. In short, a stable and effective screening system for NF-κB has been established, through which TMEM9B was identified to be able to significantly activate NF-κB signal transduction pathway and thus cause cells apoptosis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in CHOP regimen for un-treated elderly patients with advanced diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods:In a prospective phase II study, we analyzed the feasibility of PLD-modified CHOP regimen in elderly patients with advanced stages of DLBCL. PLD was administered at 30 mg/m2 in combination with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone at standard doses every 21 d for six cycles. CD20 positive patients were given option for rituximab treatment. Results:From November 2011 to March 2014, 30 patients with a median age of 70 years (range:63 to 80) were enrolled in this study. Up to 24 cases (80.0%) obtained an International Prognostic Index of≥3. The overall re-sponse rate was 86.7%, and the complete remission rate was 66.7%. With a median follow-up of 20.1 months, the 18-month overall and progression-free survival rates were 82.4%and 70.1%, respectively. The main toxicity was neutropenia, reaching grades 3 to 4 in the 24 cases (80.0%). No significant changes existed in patients' left ventricular ejection fraction and serum troponin-T during the study. Four patients (13.3%) showed asymptomatic abnormal changes in electrocardiogram after PLD infusion. Conclusion:CHOP regimen with PLD is an effective alternative for the treatment of DLBCL in elderly patients, exhibiting an acceptable toxicity.
