Aim To investigate the up-regulation of miR-22 through Wnt pathway inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion in human gastric MGC803 cells induced by diallyl disulfide(DADS).Methods The effects of proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer cells were evaluated by MTT,wound-healing and invasion assays.Online prediction software was applied to search the target gene of miR-22.Luciferase report gene assay was used to assess the target genes Wnt-1 of miR-22.The expressions of Wnt-1,β-catenin and TCF-4 were tested by qRT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results MTT showed that DADS and miR-22 notably decreased the proliferation compared with control group(P<0.05).Wound-healing assay showed that DADS and miR-22 could significantly inhibit the migration of MGC803 cells compared with the control group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Invasion assay showed that DADS and miR-22 could markedly inhibit the invasion of MGC803 cells compared with the control group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Online prediction software to search the target gene exhibited that Wnt-1 may be a target gene of miR-22. Luciferase report gene assay disclosed that Wnt-1 was identified as a direct target of miR-22. Qrt-PCR showed that the expression of Wnt-1 Mrna was respectively down-regulated by DADS and miR-22 compared withcontrol group, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05). Western blot exhibited that DADS and miR-22 obviously suppressed the expressions of Wnt-1, β-catenin and TCF-4 proteins, especially in miR-22+DADS(P<0.05).Conclusion Up-regulation of miR-22 through Wnt pathway can remarkably suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion in MGC803 cells by DADS.

Objective:
To investigate the influencing factors of hyperuricemia in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
Methods:
A retrospective study was performed in patients with renal biopsy diagnosed as IgAN in the Department of Nephrology, Provincial Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2016 to October 2018. According to the blood uric acid level, they were divided into two groups: patients with hyperuricemia and patients without hyperuricemia. The general clinical indicators and renal pathological data were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of hyperuricemia in IgAN patients.
Results:
A total of 125 IgAN patients with age of (35.70±11.16) years old were enrolled, including 63 males and 62 females. The morbidity of hyperuricemia was 44.0%(55/125). Compared with the normal blood uric acid group, the blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and the proportion of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5, small arterial wall thickening, fibrous crescents/globules, renal interstitial fibrosis, renal tubular atrophy, glomerular sclerosis and inflammatory cell infiltration in the hyperuric acid group were higher, while the level of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was lower. And the differences were statistically significant (all

Objective The effect of the functionally unknown gene C6orf120 on autoimmune hepatitis was investigated on C6orf120 knockout rats(C6orf120-/-)and THP-1 cells. Method Six-eight-week-old C6orf120-/-and wild-type(WT)SD rats were injected with Con A(16 mg/kg),and euthanized after 24 h.The sera,livers,and spleens were collected.THP-1 cells and the recombinant protein(rC6ORF120)were used to explore the mechanism in vitro.The frequency of M1 and M2 macrophages was analyzed using flow cytometry.Western blotting and PCR were used to detect macrophage polarization-associated factors. Results C6orf120 knockout attenuated Con A-induced autoimmune hepatitis.Flow cytometry indicated that the proportion of CD68+CD86+M1 macrophages from the liver and spleen in the C6orf120-/-rats decreased.C6orf120 knockout induced downregulation of CD86 protein and the mRNA levels of related inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 in the liver.C6orf120 knockout did not affect the polarization of THP-1 cells.However,rC6ORF120 promoted the THP-1 cells toward CD68+CD80+M1 macrophages and inhibited the CD68+CD206+M2 phenotype. Conclusion C6orf120 knockout alleviates Con A-induced autoimmune hepatitis by inhibiting macrophage polarization toward M1 macrophages and reducing the expression of related inflammatory factors in C6orf120-/-rats.
