AIM:R-spondin 2 (Rspo2), one member of R-spondin family which contains four secreted proteins , plays an important role in skeletal muscle development .However, the impact of Rspo2 on vascular smooth muscle cell ( SMC) differentiation is little known . This study aims at revealing the role and mechanism of Rspo 2 on SMC differentiation from embryonic stem cells (ESCs).METHODS:A well-established model for studying SMC differentiation from ESCs were used , in which mouse embryonic stem cells ( ES-D3) were seeded on collagen IV-coated flasks and cultured in differentiation medium (DM) for 2, 4, 6 and 8 days.Smooth muscle specific markers, includingα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), SM22 and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC), were detected to in-sure the successful model by qRT-PCR and Western blot .After 3-day pre-differentiation, ESCs were treated with recombinant Rspo 2 protein, overexpression plasmid or shRNA plasmid for 96 h, and the mRNA and protein expression of smooth muscle markers was detected.To explore the role of Rspo2 on SMC differentiation in vivo, 3-day predifferentiated ESCs (106 in 50μLα-MEM) incubated with Rspo2-overexpression plasmid were mixed with 50 μL of Matrigel ( Becton Dickinson Labware ) and then subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6J mice.After 12 days, mice were sacrificed and the implants were harvested for immunofluorescence staining , qRT-PCR and Western blot.Furthermore, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (ChIP) and lucif-erase reporter assay were performed to investigate the transcriptional activity of SMC differentiation related transcription factors , inclu-ding serum response factor (SRF), myocardin (MYO), myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C (MEF-2C).Involvement of Rspo2 re-ceptor, leucine-rich repeat-containing, G-protein-coupled receptors (Lgr)4,5,6, and β-catenin pathway during Rspo2-induced MSC differentiation were also uncovered by overexpression or inhibition of the respective protein .RESULTS:Our results showed that Rspo 2 mRNA and protein expression was significantly and consistently increased during ESC differentiation towards SMCs .Recombinant Rs-po2 protein and enforced Rspo 2 expression in ESCs resulted in up-regulation of smooth muscle markers and transcription factors , while knockdown decreased the expression of these genes .Expectedly , Rspo2 overexpression also promotes SMC differentiation in vivo.
Mechanistically , our data showed that Rspo 2 could promote SRF binding to SM22 promoter region .Evidence also revealed that one of three Rspo2 receptors, LGR5, was up-regulated while the other two , LGR4 and LGR6, was down-regulated.Silencing of LGR5 inhibi-ted Rspo2-induced SMC differentiation, whereas knockdown of LGR4 had no impact.Finally, activation or inhibition of β-catenin could promote or inhibit SMC differentiation , respectively .CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate for the first time that Rspo 2 plays a positive role during smooth muscle cell differentiation from embryonic stem cells .We confirmed that Rspo 2 can up-regulate smooth muscle markers at transcription level .We also revealed Rspo promote smooth muscle cell differentiation through activation of LGR 5 re-ceptor and Wnt/β-catenin pathway .

Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2022;37(12):939-943
Objective:To investigate the changes of intestinal flora and its clinical significance in children with Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-positive duodenal ulcer before and after Hp eradication treatment. Methods:A total of 98 children with duodenal ulcer admitted to Ji′nan Second Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected and divided into Hp infection group and Hp uninfected group according to whether they had Hp infection.Stools of Hp infection group were collected before treatment, treatment for 7 days, treatment for 14 days, and 30 days after treatment withdrawal for 16S rDNA sequencing.The independent samples t test was used to compare the detection of intestinal flora in the Hp infection group and the Hp uninfected group.Paired t test was used to compare the detection of intestinal flora in the Hp infection group before and after treatment.Nonparametric test was used to compare the bacterial diversity [diversity (Shannon, Simpson) index and richness (Chao 1) index] of Hp infection group and Hp uninfected group and the flora diversity of Hp infection group before and after treatment. Results:There was no significant difference in the detected numbers of Bifidobacterium [(5.92±1.85) lg copies/g feces vs.(6.58±2.01) lg copies/g feces], Lactobacillus [(4.89±1.35) lg copies/g feces vs.(4.47±1.59) lg copies/g feces], Bacteroides [(8.42±2.12) lg copies/g feces vs.(8.01±2.20) lg copies/g feces], Clostridium perfringens[(5.90±1.90) lg copies/g feces vs.(5.88±2.01) lg copies/g feces], Enterococcus[(5.41±1.27) lg copies/g feces vs.(5.02±1.48) lg copies/g feces], Enterobacter[(5.01±1.80) lg copies/g feces vs.(5.37±1.47) lg copies/g feces], and yeast [(5.90±1.85) lg copies/g feces vs.(5.88±2.01) lg copies /g feces] in the Hp infection group and the Hp uninfected group (all P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the Shannon index (3.84±0.52 vs.3.90±0.45), Simpson index (0.16±0.04 vs.0.15±0.05), and Chao 1 index (178.52±40.22 vs.185.32±42.47) of the intestinal flora diversity between the Hp infection group and the Hp uninfected group (all P>0.05). Compared with before treatment, the number of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Bacteroides detected in the Hp infection group decreased at different times after treatment (all P<0.05). Compared with treatment for 7 days and treatment for 14 days, the number of Bifidobacterium [(4.54±1.78) lg copies/g feces vs.(4.20±1.22) lg copies/g feces vs.(5.21±1.55) lg copies/g feces], Lactobacillus [(4.01±1.20) lg copies/g feces vs.(3.89±1.32) lg copies/g feces vs.(4.43±1.10) lg copies/g feces], and Bacteroides [(6.78±1.88) lg copies/g feces vs.(6.55±1.90) lg copies/g feces vs.(7.68±2.00) lg copies/g feces] detected increased after 30 days of treatment (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of Clostridium perfringens, Enterococcus, Enterobacter and yeast detected in Hp infection group at different times before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Compared with before treatment, the Shannon index and Chao 1 index at different time after treatment decreased, and the Simpson index increased (all P<0.05). Compared with treatment for 7 days and treatment for 14 days, the Shannon index (2.85±0.45 vs.2.57±0.48 vs.3.20±0.50) and Chao 1 index (148.45±32.33 vs.140.32±30.47 vs.160.42±38.42) increased, and Simpson index (0.25±0.06 vs.0.27±0.08 vs.0.19±0.05) decreased 30 days after treatment (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Hp infection has no significant effect on the intestinal flora of children with duodenal ulcer.Anti-Hp treatment can lead to imbalance of intestinal flora and decrease of intestinal flora diversity.The effect of a large number of antibiotics on intestinal flora should be considered in anti Hp treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of referral colposcopy in cervical high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) positive women in cervical cancer screening.Methods:Totally 2 445 cases, which were referred for colposcopic cervical biopsy for cervical HR-HPV positive in Karamay Central Hospital from January 2018 to November 2021 were collected. The status of cervical HR-HPV positive transferred colposcopy in different situations to identify high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and above (HISL+ ) was analyzed. The value of referral colposcopy in cervical HR-HPV positive women under different conditions was evaluated.Results:2 445 HR-HPV positive women were referred for colposcopic cervical biopsy, which confirmed 1 447 cases of negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM), 362 cases of low grade squamous intraepithelia lesion (LSIL), 510 cases of HSIL and 126 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC); The complete coincidence rate between colposcopy diagnosis and pathological diagnosis was 67.08%(1 640/2 445), and the Kappa value of consistency test was 0.489. The sensitivity and specificity of colposcopy in the diagnosis of LSIL+ were 91.28% and 69.38%, and HSIL+ were 74.52% and 93.15%. The detection rates of HSIL+ in HPV16/18 positive and other 12 HPV positive patients with abnormal cervical liquid based cytology (TCT) were 64.78%(103/159) and 78.79%(364/462), respectively. The positive rates of HPV16/18 and 12 other HPV positive HSIL+ with normal TCT were 16.46%(82/498) and 6.56%(87/1 326), respectively. The rate of detecting HSIL+ in abnormal areas under colposcopy was 44.69%(534/1 195), and that in routine biopsy was 8.16%(102/1 250).Conclusions:Among the referred for colposcopic cases, the detection rate of HSIL+ was higher in cases with cervical HR-HPV positive and TCT abnormalities. Colposcopy has obvious value in identifying cervical lesions. The accurate diagnosis of cervical lesions is based on cervical biopsy under colposcopy.
