BACKGROUND:Inflammatory factor plays an important role in restenosis after bal oon injury. Sphingosine1-phosphate receptor 1 can enhance the expression of inflammatory factor and promote development and progression of this pathological process.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of the inflammatory factors and sphingosine1-phosphate receptor 1 after bal oon injury of the rat carotid artery and effects of fingolimod hydrochloride on reducing inflammatory reaction.
METHODS:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were equal y and randomly divided into four groups. In the blank control group and negative control group, left common carotid artery was only isolated, and left external carotid artery was ligated. In the bal oon injury group and drug intervention group, rat models of carotid artery injury were
established by bal oon injury on the left common carotid artery. In the negative control and drug intervention groups, the rats were intraperitoneal y injected with fingolimod hydrochloride 1 mg/kg. In the blank control and bal oon injury groups, the rats were intraperitoneal y injected with an equal volume of saline. Samples were col ected at 3, 7 and 21 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the proliferation of blood vessel was remarkable in the bal oon injury group, but attenuated in the drug intervention group. The appearance of blood vessels was normal in the blank control group and negative control group. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR revealed that cyclooxygenase 2 and prostaglandin E2 mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in the drug intervention group than those in the bal oon injury group at 7 days (P<0.05). Cyclooxygenase 2 and prostaglandin E2 mRNA expression levels were significantly higher in the bal oon injury group and drug intervention group than those in the blank control group and negative control group at the same time point (P<0.05). Western blot assay results revealed that sphingosine1-phosphate receptor 1 expression was high in early stage of injury, and then reduced in late stage of injury. In particular, protein expression further decreased after drug intervention. Results indicated that fingolimod hydrochloride suppressed inflammatory reaction of injured blood vessels and lessened the stenosis of injured blood vessels by regulating cyclooxygenase 2 and prostaglandin E2 mRNA expression using sphingosine1-phosphate receptor 1.

Objective:To uncover the effect of circ0025847 on the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells and its molecular mechanisms.Methods:qRT-PCR was utilized to analyze the expression of circ0025847 and QK1 in human colorectal cancer cells (HCT116, SW480) and normal mucosa cells (NCM460) .CCK-8 was used to analyze the effect of circ0025847 and QK1 on proliferation in colorectal cancer cells. Bioinformatics method was used to screen RBP which could bind to circ0025847. RNA pulldown and RIP was utilized to confirm whether QK1 binds to circ0025847.Effects of circ0025847 over-expression on QK1 expression was analyzed by Western blot.NC group, circ0025847 overexpression group and circ0025847 overexpression+ QK1 inhibitor group were established and the proliferation effect was determined by CCK8.Results:circ0025847 (the expression levels in NCM460, HCT116 and SW480 cells were 1.01±0.05, 0.49±0.08, 0.45±0.10) and QK1 (the expression levels in NCM460, HCT116 and SW480 cells were 0.98±0.07, 0.50±0.07, 0.47±0.09) expression was significantly downregulated in colorectal cancer cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of endoplasmic reticulum stressed (ER) on colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation and invasion via ATG5-mediated autophagy pathway and the underlying mechanism.Methods:We performed bioinformatics analysis to identify the expression level of PERK, ATF6 and ATG5 in CRC tissues and adjacent tissues and the correlation between PERK and ATG5 expression in CRC tissues.The expression level of PERK in CRC cell lines was examined by qRT-PCR assay. Cell proliferation was quantified by CCK-8.The invasion of the cells was detected by Transwell.Western blot assay was performed to verify the levels of protein. The levels of autophagy were examined by electron microscopy.Results:PERK and ATF6 expression in CRC tissues was higher than that in the adjacent tissues and PERK expression was higher in CRC cells than intestinal mucosal cells. Expression level of PERK in CRC cell lines HCT116,SW480,HT29,LoVo and colonic mucosa cell lines FHC was 1.51±0.04,3.12±0.05,2.19±0.04,2.38±0.06 and 0.98±0.04 ( P<0.001) .The increased expression of PERK promoted CRC cell proliferation and invasion. PERK expression levels was positively associated with ATG5 expression levels ( r=0.52, P<0.001) and overexpression of PERK accelerated the protein expression of ATG5 (1.00±0.04,3.53±0.07, t=74.61, P<0.001) . ATG5 was highly expressed in CRC tissues. Overexpression of ATG5 could promote proliferation,invasion and accelerate autophagy of CRC cells (the number of autophagosomes in the blank control group,the negative control group and ATG5-Overexpression group was 4.33±1.53, 4.00±1.00, 9.67±2.52, and t=3.14,3.62, P=0.035,0.022, respectively) .ATG5 promoted colorectal cancer cell proliferation and invasion through autophagy pathway. Conclusion:ER stressed-CRC cells could promote CRC cell proliferation and invasion through ATG5-mediated autophagy pathway.
