Objective:To investigate the phenotype and function of the intestinal γδT lymphocytes in post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome mouse model. Methods:The mouse model for post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome was established by the infection with trichinella spiralis. The intestinal inflammation,abdominal withdrawal reflex( AWR) and colon transportation test were observed. 2 and 8 weeks later,the animals were sacrificed and the lymphocytes in the intestinal lymph nodes and spleen were collected,from which the γδT lymphocytes were isolated and purified by monoclonal antibody-immuno-microbeads method. The functions of the purified γδT lymphocytes were evaluated,including proliferation by 3 HTdR;CD69,CD62L molecule staining by flow cytometry. Furthermore,the con-centration of cytokine IL-17 and IFN-γ in the supernatant of the cultured γδT lymphocytes were detected by ELISA. Results: At 2nd weeks after infection,significant intestinal inflammation was observed,with increasingγδT lymphocytes,proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. At 8th weeks after infection, the intestinal inflammation disappeared, whereas the number of γδT lymphocytes remained increasing,also with proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. Meanwhile,the mice show higher AWR score and Bristol score. Conclusion: γδT lymphocytes could participate in the pathogenesis of PI-IBS via their proliferation,activation and production of IL-17.

Objective:To investigate the serum level of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) in patients with gastric cancer and its diagnostic significance.Methods:A total of 100 gastric cancer patients (gastric cancer group) including 49 patients with early gastric cancer (early gastric cancer group) , who were hospitalized in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from May to December 2019 were selected as the research subjects, and 94 physical examination subjects during the same period were selected as the normal control group. The levels of serum IGFBP7 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. At the same time, the laboratory carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test results were collected. The relationships between the level of serum IGFBP7 and the clinicopathological features of gastric cancer patients were analyzed. The diagnostic value was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The level of serum IGFBP7 in the gastric cancer group was (1.595±0.159) ng/ml, and that in the normal control group was (1.850±0.328) ng/ml, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-0.26, P<0.001) , and among them, the level of serum IGFBP7 in the early gastric cancer group was (1.601±0.153) ng/ml, and there was a statistically significant difference compared with the normal control group ( t=-0.26, P<0.001) . The level of serum CEA in the gastric cancer group was 2.230 (2.043) ng/ml, and that in the normal control group was 1.805 (1.020) ng/ml, with a statistically significant difference ( U=0.45, P=0.004) , and among them, the level of serum CEA in the early gastric cancer group was 2.220 (1.780) ng/ml, and there was a statistically significant difference compared with the normal control group ( U=0.53, P=0.002) . There were no significant correlations between IGFBP7 and CEA level ( χ2=0.36, P=0.547) , age ( χ2=0.16, P=0.688) , gender ( χ2=0.97, P=0.326) , depth of invasion ( χ2=0.30, P=0.585) , lymph node metastasis ( χ2=0.17, P=0.684) , distant metastasis ( χ2=0.09, P=0.767) and TNM stage ( χ2=0.38, P=0.537) . ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of IGFBP7 for gastric cancer diagnosis was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.78-0.89) , the AUC of CEA for gastric cancer diagnosis was 0.62 (95% CI: 0.54-0.70) , and there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=4.33, P<0.001) . The AUC of IGFBP7 combined with CEA for gastric cancer diagnosis was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.79-0.90) . Compared with CEA alone, there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=4.97, P<0.001) .

Objective:To explore the role of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) in the diagnosis and prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and to search for molecular markers that can be used for the diagnosis of NPC.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 NPC patients (treated from April 2014 to May 2015) at the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Shantou University Medical School, and clinical baseline data were collected from 143 healthy individuals (normal control group) during the same period. The serum IGFBP1 concentration was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 112 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients and 109 normal controls in the training cohort, and was validated in the validation cohort (38 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients and 34 normal controls). The diagnostic value of serum IGFBP1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results:Compared to the normal control group, the expression level of serum IGFBP1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients was higher in the training and validation queues (all P<0.05). In the training queue, the area under the ROC curve was 0.768 (95% CI: 0.706-0.830), with diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of 90.83% and 48.21%, respectively. In the validation queue, the area under the ROC curve was 0.798 (95% CI: 0.697-0.899), with diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of 97.06% and 31.58%, respectively. The predictive values for positive cases in both cohorts were greater than 80%, while the predictive values for negative cases were greater than 50%. The diagnostic threshold for serum IGFBP1 in both cohorts was 1 077 ng/ml. Conclusions:IGFBP1 has practical value as a molecular marker for the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Thus, the development of new therapeutic targets for CRC treatment is urgently needed. SGK1 is involved in various cellular activities, and its dysregulation can result in multiple cancers. However, little is known about its roles and associated molecular mechanisms in CRC. In present study, we found that SGK1 was highly expressed in tumor tissues compared with peri-tumor samples from CRC patients. In vitro experiments revealed that SGK1 overexpression promoted colonic tumor cell proliferation and migration and inhibited cell apoptosis induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), while SGK1 shRNA and inhibitors showed the inverse effects. Using CRC xenograft mice models, we demonstrated that knockdown or therapeutic inhibition of SGK1 repressed tumor cell proliferation and tumor growth. Moreover, SGK1 inhibitors increased p27 expression and promoted p27 nuclear accumulation in colorectal cancer cells, and p27 siRNAs could attenuate the repression of CRC cell proliferation induced by SGK1 inhibitors. Collectively, SGK1 promotes colorectal cancer development via regulation of CRC cell proliferation, migration and survival. Inhibition of SGK1 represents a novel strategy for the treatment of CRC.
