A sample preparation method was developed to simulate the process of intracellular metabolites metabonomics analysis of Escherichia coli. The Escherichia coli cell was firstly quenched with cold sodium chloride solution ( 0. 85 %,precooled at -80℃ for 15 min).The quenched bacterial cell was treated by using the technique of vacuum freeze-drying and liquid nitrogen freezing combined with ultrasonic processing to increase cell membrane penetrability. Finally,a cold aqueous solution of methanol (MeOH:H2O, 1:1,V/ V, 4 ℃) was used as extraction solvent to extract metabolites. In the present research,flow cytometry and OD value recovery were performed to evaluate the degree of cell damage caused by quenching at single cell level and at integral level respectively. The tested results indicated that the degree of damage to cells caused by cold sodium chloride solution was less than 5%. The peak quantity and the total ion intensity detected by LC-TOF in low collision energy were used to evaluate extraction effects. Three different cell membrane penetrability modes and 4 kinds of extraction solvents were investigated and compared.The results showed that the technique of liquid nitrogen freezing combined with ultrasonic processing for cell membrane penetrability and a cold aqueous solution of methanol (MeOH/H2O,1:1,V/V, 4℃) for extraction of metabolites had the best extraction effect(peak quantity was greater than or equal to 105,and total ion intensity was in the range of 106-107).Therefore,in this work,the freeze drying,grinding with liquid nitrogen and ultrasonic extraction were combined to extract metabolites. In this way,it effectively promoted cell lysis and improved the efficiency of extraction. The result of synthetic analysis showed that the method proposed here could meet the requirements of the metabonomics analysis of Escherachaa coli.

[摘 要] 多发性骨髓瘤是骨髓中浆细胞异常增生导致的恶性肿瘤,是第二大常见的血液系统恶性肿瘤。日益增多的生物治疗方法为多发性骨髓瘤治疗提供新的思路和方向,CAR-T细胞疗法更是为复发/难治性多发性骨髓瘤患者带来治愈新希望。已有多种靶向多发性骨髓瘤特异性靶标分子CAR-T细胞在临床试验中显示出较好的疗效,然而CAR-T细胞疗法仍存在疗效持续时间不够长、肿瘤易复发等问题,这可能与CAR-T细胞持续性不足、肿瘤细胞表面抗原表达丢失、抗原逃逸、免疫抑制微环境损害T细胞活性等因素相关。已有临床研究通过优化CAR设计、调整制备过程以产生富含特定T细胞亚群的CAR-T细胞、构建健康志愿者来源的通用型CAR-T细胞、引入修饰基因以调节免疫抑制微环境或改善CAR-T细胞增殖能力等方法来提高CAR-T细胞的效应功能并延长其持续作用时间,通过降低CAR结构中抗体免疫原性、引入开关机制等方法来提高CAR-T细胞疗法安全性。众多研究为多发性骨髓瘤的CAR-T细胞治疗注入新的活力,也为抗肿瘤免疫治疗提供新的方法与选择。

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of polyadenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) on the proliferation and 5-FU resistance of gastric cancer cells and its potential mechanism. Methods: The tumor tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues of 72 patients with gastric cancer who were treated in Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture from May 2018 to December 2019 were collected. AGS cells were transfected with siFUT8 to knock down FUT8 gene expression. qPCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of PARP1 in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues. CCK-8, flow cytometry, and colony formation assay were employed to detect the effects of AG14361 on the proliferation, apoptosis and colony formation of AGS cells. MTT assay was used to detect the effect of AG14361 on the 5-FU sensitivity of gastric cancer cells. The overall distribution of differential genes in AGS cells treated with AG14361 was analyzed by mRNA sequencing, and related signaling pathways were analyzed by KEGG enrichment. qPCR and WB were used to detect the expression of α-1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) in AGS cells and the interference effect of FUT8. CCK-8, flow cytometry, and colony formation assay were employed to detect the effects of AG14361 on the proliferation, apoptosis, and colony formation of AGS cells disturbed by siFUT8. Results: Compared with paracancer tissues, PARP1 expression was significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues (P<0.001). AG14361 can significantly inhibit the proliferation and colony formation of AGS cells, thus promoting the apoptosis of AGS cells (all P<0.01). AG14361 treatment reduced the IC50 of 5-FU against gastric cancer cells, especially against AGS cells, with IC50 decreased by more than 60%. mRNA sequencing results showed that FUT8 was a key glycosyltransferase of AG14361 in inhibiting the proliferation of AGS cells (P<0.05). Compared with the siNC group, treatment of AG14361 with IC50 significantly reversed the promotion of AGS cells proliferation caused by inerference with FUT8, promoted apoptosis and BAX protein expression, decreased Bcl2 protein expression and inhibited the increase in AGS cell colony formation caused by interference with FUT8 (all P<0.01). Conclusion: PARP1 can promote malignant transformation of gastric cancer cells by regulating N-glycosyltransferase FUT8. AG14361 can enhance the chemotherapy sensitivity of 5-FU, and PARP1 may become a potential target for gastric cancer treatment.
