Objective To investigate the interference effects of orexin A on cell proliferation of the insulin?secreting beta?cell line(INS?1 cells) through the orexin receptor 1(OX1R)and the AKT/PKB signaling pathway. Methods INS?1 cells were exposed to different concentrations of orexin A in vitro,and treated with OX1R antagonist(SB334867),PI3K antagonist(wortmannin),or AKT antagonist(PF?04691502). The INS?1 cell proliferation and apoptosis,insulin secretion,OX1R protein activity and AKT phosphorylation level were determined. Results Orexin A(10-10 to 10-6 mol/L)stimulated the proliferation and activation of INS?1 cells,prevented apoptpsis,and increased insulin secretion. Additionally,AKT phosphorylation was stimulated by orexin A(10-10 to 10-6 mol/L). The OX1R antagonist SB334867(10-6 mol/L),the PI3K antagonist wortmannin (10-8 mol/L)and the AKT antagonist PF?04691502(10-6 mol/L)weakened the effects of orexin A. Conclusion Orexin A activated the AKT sig?naling pathway through the mediation of orexin A?OX1R,and promoted cell proliferation in INS?1 cells.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent human malignancies worldwide with very poor prognosis. It is generally accepted that the progression of HCC is a long-term process with accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations, which further lead to the activation of critical oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. HCC is characterized with multiple cancer hallmarks including their ability to proliferate, anti-apoptosis, invade, metastasis, as well as the emerging features such as stem cell properties and energy metabolic switch. The irreversible alterations at genetic level could be detected as early as in the pre-neoplastic stages and accumulate during cancer progression. Thus, they might account for the cancer initiating steps and further malignant transformation. In addition to genetic alterations, epigenetic alterations can affect the cancer transcriptome more extensively. Alterations in DNA methylation, histone modification, miRNAs, RNA editing, and lncRNAs might result in disrupted gene regulation networks and substantially contribute to HCC progression. In this review, the genetic and epigenetic alterations which significantly contribute to the malignant capabilities of HCC will be updated and summarized in detail. Further characterization of those critical molecular events might better elucidate the pathogenesis of HCC and provide novel therapeutic targets for treatment of this deadly disease.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of serum small dense low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (sdLDL-C) levels in healthy normolipidemia and hyperlipidemia and analyze the correlation between sdLDL-C and other serum lipids.Methods Totally 1012 normolipidemic subjects (18 93 years old,503 male,509 females) were grouped according to gender and age (18 -29,30 -69 and ≥70 years old).And 433 hyperlipidemic subjects (23 -90 years) were divided into the following 3 groups based on fasting triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C)levels:hypertriglyceridemia (n =165 ),high-LDL-C ( n =129) and combined hyperlipidemia ( n =139 ).The sdLDL-C and other serum lipids were measured by Olympus AU2700 automatic analyzer.Analysis of Variance and Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for statistical analysis.Results The distribution of the sdLDL-C levels in normolipidemic subjects was near normal distribution.The sdLDL-C levels had differences in gender and age.In the 18 -29 and 30 -69 years old group,the mean values of sdLDL-C were significantly higher in males than in females [ (0.55 -0.21 ) mmol/L vs (0.47 ±0.22) mmol/L,t =2.212,P =0.028 and (0.66±0.28) mmol/L vs (0.62±0.25) mmol/L,t =2.121,P=0.034].In the ≥70 years old group,the difference of sdLDL-C levels in gender was not statistically significant [ male ( 0.54 ± 0.21 )mmol/L vs female (0.54 ± 0.22 ) mmol/L,t =0.022,P =0.982] ; the mean value was ( 0.54 ± 0.22 ) mmol/L The hyperlipidemic subjects had conspicuous higher levels of sdLDL-C compared with normolipidemia [ ( 1.25 ±0.44) mmol/L vs (0.60 ±0.26) mmol/L,t =29.306,P <0.001 ].Among all of groups,the combined hyperlipidemia group had the highest sdLDL-C level [ ( 1.52 ± 0.49) mmol/L,F =525.66,P <0.001 ] ; the hypertriglyceridemia group had the highest sdLDL-C/LDL -C level (0.47 ±0.12,F =287.93,P <0.001 ) and the high-LDL-C group had the highest level of non-sdLDL-C [LDL-C subtract sdLDL-C,(2.71 ± 0.52) mmol/L.F =336.32,P < 0.001 ].The sdLDL-C showed a good positive correlation with TC,TG,LDL-C,ApoB and BMI ( rs =0.66,0.68,0.65,0.79 and 0.27,P < 0.001 ),and negative correlation with HDL-C and ApoA1 ( rt =- 0.42 and - 0.37,P < 0.001 ).Based on partial correlative analysis,sdLDL-C showed a different correlation with TG,LDL-C and TC ( r =0.42,0.28 and 0.15,P < 0.001 ).Conclusions LDL-C and TG are the important factors influencing the sdLDL-C levels.However,TG has greater effect than LDL-C.The sdLDL-C is an appropriate and good index to evaluate the small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) mass and the overall situation of lipid metabolism.In order to make full use of sdLDL in the clinical treatment and health assessment,it is necessary to establish sdLDL-C reference intervals through the survey of distribution of sdLDL-C levels in different geographic areas.
