Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of the activator of HSP90 ATPase-1(AHA1),lysyl oxidase like-2 protein(LOXL2)in osteosarcoma tissues with mRNA expression of invasion and metastasis genes and their clinical significance.Methods A total of 90 osteosarcoma patients diagnosed and treated in North China Medical and Health Group Fengfeng General Hospital from February 2016 to March 2017 were selected as the research object.The expression of AHA1 mRNA,LOXL2 mRNA and invasion and metastasis genes Wnt family member 9A(Wnt9a)mRNA,zinc finger E-box binding homologous box 1(ZEB1)mRNA,zinc finger E-box binding homologous box 1(ZEB2)mRNA,N-cadherin(N-cad)mRNA,and vimentin(Vim)mRNA in tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis.The differences in expression of AHA1 mRNA and LOXL2 mRNA in osteosarcoma patients among different clinical characteristics were compared.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to analyze the effect of AHA1 mRNA and LOXL2 mRNA on the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.The prognostic factors of osteosarcoma patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate COX regression.Results The expressions of AHA1 mRNA(3.16±0.59),LOXL2 mRNA(2.84±0.44)and invasion and metastasis genes[Wnt9a mRNA(3.23±0.42),ZEB1 mRNA(2.73±0.39),ZEB2 mRNA(2.52±0.56),N-cad mRNA(2.71±0.65)and Vim mRNA(2.81±0.73)]in osteosarcoma tissues were higher than those in paracancerous tissues(1.10±0.21,0.95±0.18,0.79±0.15,0.64±0.11,0.98±0.19,0.68±0.14,0.72±0.15),and the differences were statissically significant(t=31.206,37.716,51.903,48.931,24.706,28.964,26.605,all P<0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between AHA1 mRNA and LOXL2 mRNA expression in osteosarcoma(r=0.712,P<0.05).The expressions of AHA1 mRNA and LOXL2 mRNA were significantly positively correlated with the expressions of invasion and metastasis genes(Wnt9a,ZEB1,ZEB2,N-cad,and Vim mRNA)in tumor tissue of osteosarcoma group(r=0.504～0.720,all P<0.05).The expressions of AHA1 mRNA and LOXL2 mRNA in osteosarcoma tissues with Eneeking stage Ⅲ,soft tissue infiltration,and lung metastasis were higher than those in patients with Eneeking stage Ⅰ～Ⅱ,no soft tissue infiltration,and no lung metastasis,with significant differences(t=14.122～171.054,all P<0.05).The 5-year survival rates of patients in the AHA1 mRNA high expression group and low expression group were 36.36%(16/44)and 78.26%(36/46),respectively.The 5-year cumulative survival rate of patients in the AHA1 mRNA high expression group was significantly lower than that in the low expression group(Log-rank χ2=16.081,P<0.05).The 5-year survival rates of patients with high and low expression of LOXL2 mRNA were 34.88%(15/43)and 78.72%(37/47),respectively.The 5-year cumulative survival rate of patients in the LOXL2 mRNA high expression group was significantly lower than that in the low expression group(Log-rank χ2=15.880,P<0.05).Lung metastasis(OR=1.921,P<0.05),Eneeking stage Ⅲ(OR=1.906,P<0.05),AHA1 mRNA high expression(OR=1.405,P<0.05),and LOXL2 mRNA high expression(OR=1.733,P<0.05)were independent risk factors affecting the poor survival prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.Conclusion The expressions of AHA1 mRNA and LOXL2 mRNA in osteosarcoma were increased,and they were correlated with the expression of invasion and metastasis genes,indicating they may be independent risk factors affecting the poor survival and prognosis of osteosarcoma patients.

Chitinase AO-801 is a hydrolase secreted by Arthrobotrys oligospora during nematode feeding, while its role remained elusive. This study analyzed the molecular characteristics of recombinant chitinase of Arthrobotrys oligospora (reAO-801). AO-801 belongs to the typical glycoside hydrolase 18 family with conserved chitinase sequence and tertiary structure of (α/β)8 triose-phosphate isomerase (TIM) barrel. The molecular weight of reAO-801 was 42 kDa. reAO-801 effectively degraded colloidal and powdered chitin, egg lysate, and stage I larval lysate of Caenorhabditis elegans. The activity of reAO-801 reached its peak at 40˚C and pH values between 4-7. Enzyme activity was inhibited by Zn2+, Ca2+, and Fe3+, whereas Mg2+ and K+ potentiated its activity. In addition, urea, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 2-mercaptoethanol significantly inhibited enzyme activity. reAO-801 showed complete nematicidal activity against C. elegans stage I larvae. reAO-801 broke down the C. elegans egg shells, causing them to die or die prematurely by hatching the eggs. It also invoked degradation of Haemonchus contortus eggs, resulting in apparent changes in the morphological structure. This study demonstrated the cytotoxic effect of reAO-801, which laid the foundation for further dissecting the mechanism of nematode infestation by A. oligospora.

Objective:To explore the expression level of exosomal miR-218-5p in the serum of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and its correlation with the clinical pathological characteristics, and evaluate its diagnostic efficacy in CRC.Methods:A group of 78 patients with colorectal cancer diagnosed in Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji University from October 2016 to October 2018 were selected. Blood was collected before operation and serum was preserved. Forty cases of healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group. ExoQuick kit was used to extract serum exosomes. Transmission electron microscope, NTA and western blot were used to identify the morphology and molecular phenotype of exosomes. MiRNeasy kit was used to extract total RNA in serum exosomes. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression level of serum exosomal miR-218-5p in each group. CRC patients were divided into high expression and low expression groups using the median relative expression level of miR-218-5p as the cut off value, and the four-square chi-square test (χ 2 test) was used to judge the relationship between miR-218-5p and clinicopathological features. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of miR-218-5p in colorectal cancer. Results:The exosomes in serum were successfully extracted by kit method. The expression level of serum exosomal miR-218-5p in patients with colorectal cancer was significantly lower than that in normal healthy people [0.566(0.364, 0.850) vs 1.054(0.781, 1.709), P<0.001]. The low expression level was significantly better then the correlated with tumor size, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and depth of invasion (all P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of serum exosomal miR-218-5p for the diagnosis of CRC was 0.827 (95% CI 0.754-0.900), which was significantly better than the conventional tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen CEA (AUC =0.718, 95% CI 0.626-0.811) and carbohydrate antigen CA199 (AUC = 0.661, 95% CI 0.564-0.758). Conclusions:The down-regulation of miR-218-5p expression in serum exosomes of colorectal cancer patients is associated with a variety of adverse clinicopathological factors, which has the potential to become a diagnostic biomarker for colorectal cancer.

To explore the expression of p62 protein in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In this study, a cross-sectional study was adopted. From December 2011 to May 2013, 60 patients with lung adenocarcinoma who were diagnosed and treated in Tongji Hospital of Tongji University, Shanghai were selected for paraffin embedding and tissue chip preparation, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) technology was used to detect the expression of p62 in lung adenocarcinoma patients′ cancer tissues and adjacent tissues, and analyze the relationship between p62 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics and survival prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma; at the same time, 6 cases of lung adenocarcinoma were selected by random sampling cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were detected by Western Blot (WB) to detect p62 protein and analyzed by gray value. Preoperative examination specimens of inpatients with lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed from April 2018 to early October 2019, and plasma specimens of healthy subjects were collected, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect lung adenocarcinoma patients and healthy patients. The expression of p62 in the plasma of the subjects was statistically analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software. The results of IHC showed that the positive expression rate of p62 in cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.593, P<0.001). Similarly, WB results showed that the expression of p62 protein in cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues. It is statistically relevant ( t=2.238, P=0.049). The expression of p62 was statistically correlated with tumor size, clinicopathological stage and lymph node metastasis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (all P<0.05). The overall survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma with high p62 expression was worse than that of patients with low p62 expression (95 %CI was 0.238-0.870, P=0.028), suggesting that the high expression of p62 is related to the poor prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The level of p62 protein in the plasma of patients with lung adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group. The difference was statistically significant ( t=8.533, P<0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.835 (95 %CI was 0.779-0.891, P<0.001), which is significantly higher than CEA, CA125, CA153 and other single traditional indicators, and the combined detection of four indicators has the highest diagnostic efficiency. p62 was strongly expressed in cancer tissues and serum, which is related to the poor prognosis and overall survival rate of LUAD patients.
