Secreted frizzled-related protein (SFRP) can inhibit the expression of Wnt signaling pathway through Frizzled protein.The silencing of SFRP gene promoter methylation is associated with the occurrence and metastasis of many cancers such as colorectal cancer,gastric cancer,liver carcinoma,lung cancer and ovarian cancer.Several studies have found that SFRP gene has latent clinical value,which is expected to become the novel target for the gene diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Objective To investigate the correlation between invasion ability and cytoskeleton remodeling of hepatocarcinoma cell by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and to explore mechanical properties during genesis,development and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Four HCC cell lines (MHCC-97H,MHCC-97L,SMMC-7721 ,Huh-7 )with different invasive ability were studied.Mechanical parameter (Young′s modulus)was measured by AFM.The pattern of cytoskeleton remodeling of HCC cell lines with different invasive ability was detected by immunofluorescent staining. The difference of cell invasive ability was tested by cell scratch experiment in other to verify mechanical data.Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences between groups.Results The results of AFM indicated that Young′s modulus of cytoplasma area and nucleus area decreased gradually as cell invasion ability increased (χ2 =472.78,622.43,both P <0.01).According to invasive ability from low to high,Young′s modulus of cell cytoplasm area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 1 602.43 (845 .48,3 317.25)Pa,1 055 .28 (367.48,2 280.77)Pa,1 026.78 (369.20,2 019.96)Pa and 503.12 (366.11 ,700.31)Pa,respectively.Young′s modulus of cell nucleus area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 2 823.98 (1 262.78,4 440.07 )Pa,1 313.43 (590.71 , 2 678.62)Pa,1 285 .17 (583.29,1 961 .19)Pa and 655 .57 (441 .29,943.39)Pa,respectively.The results of immunofluorescent staining showed that the stronger the cell invasive ability,the worse cytoskeletal integrity and more irregular cell microfilament distribution. In cell scratch assay, the migration rate of MHCC-97H was 46.67% in 24 h and 86.47% in 48 h,that of MHCC-97L was 45 .70%in 24 h and 82.86% in 48 h,that of SMMC-7721 was 39.41 % in 24 h and 79.85 % in 48 h and that of Huh-7 was 34.60% in 24 h and 72.09% in 48 h,which showed that the cell migration orderly in creased as the cell invasion ability increased.Conclusions It seemed that HCC with higher invasive ability had lower Young′s modulus,softer cell,stronger deformability,worse cytoskeleton integrity and more irregular cell structure,and vice versa.

Objective To investigate the expression of LncRNA LINC00857 in pancreatic cells and the effect of lncRNA LINC00857 down-regulation on proliferation, migration and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells and possible mechanism. Methods The lentiviral vector GV112 was constructed and infected PANC-1 cells to obtain experimental group, while the blank plasmid was transfected as a negative control group and the cells without intervention were taken as normal control group. CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay, scratch test, flow cytometry, Western blot were used to detect the effect of LINC00857 down-regulation on cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, cell cycle and EMT-related proteins. Results LINC00857 expression in pancreatic cancer cells were significantly higher than that in normal pancreatic epithelial cells (P < 0.001). Knockdown of LINC00857 could significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of PANC-1 cells (P < 0.0001); compared with the negative control group, the apoptosis rates of cells in the experimental groups were significantly increased (P < 0.05), the number of cells in G₀/G₁ phase increased (P < 0.01), the number of cells in S phase decreased (P < 0.05), and the cells were blocked in the G₁ phase, E-cadherin expression was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05) and N-cadherin and Vimentin expression were significantly down-regulated (N-cadherin: P < 0.01, Vimentin: P < 0.05). Conclusion LINC00857 can promote proliferation and migration of PANC-1 cells and inhibit its apoptosis by regulating G₁/S phase transition and EMT signaling pathway.

BACKGROUNDTo study the effect and safety of tissue specific gene therapy of suicide gene for lung adenocarcinoma.

METHODSRetroviral vector of G1CEACDNa contained a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) promoter regulated cytosine deaminase expression cassete (CEA/CD). By means of infection of virus, tissue specific expressing vectors and non-specific expressing vectors were transfected into A549 cell, which was CEA-producing lung adenocarcinoma cell line and then xenografted in nude mice, and the anti-tumor effect was evaluated. Then the retrovirus was injected directly into the tumor mass on nude mice, and the sensitivity of the xenograft to G1CEACDNa/5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) and the side effects were observed.

RESULTS(1) After transfected and untransfected A549 cells were implanted into nude mice, there was no difference in tumor formation among all the groups. (2) After 5-FC administration, the tumor transfected with tissue-specific gene displayed a higher sensitivity to the drug than those treated with non-specific in vitro gene-therapy. (3) The tumor-bearing nude mice were randomized in a blind manner based on comparable size to receive the supernatant of recombinant retrovirus G1CEACDNa followed by 5-FC, and significant growth suppression could be observed. (4) Comparing to the group with injection of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) alone, tissue-specific suicide gene therapy showed lower suppression to bone marrow.

CONCLUSIONSThe results suggest that tissue-specific suicide gene therapy may play an important role in individual treatment of lung cancer.

Objective: To understand the current situation of suicidal ideation among middle school students in Taiyuan City and its correlation with exposure to social ecological risk factors, so as to provide a reference basis for exploring the causes of suicidal ideation among middle and high school students and formulating effective preventive measures. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 2 639 middle school students in urban and rural areas of Taiyuan City by multistage stratified random cluster sampling, including general demography characteristics, social ecological risk factors and suicidal ideation. SPSS 26.0 software was used for Chi squared test and binary Logistic regression analysis. Results: The overall detection rate of suicidal ideation was 24.7 %. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rate of suicidal ideation among middle school students in different gender, grade, family residence, maternal education level, perceived family economic conditions, number of close friends, self-perceived academic burden ( χ 2=38.17, 13.44, 10.77, 8.15, 19.76, 18.95, 59.75, P <0.05). After adjusting the general demography characteristics, the binary Logistic regression showed that moderate and high risk in the individual, family and cultural dimension, and high risk in the school dimension of the social ecology were all positively correlated with suicidal ideation among middle school students ( OR=1.38, 2.28, 1.97, 3.28, 1.48, 2.15, 1.71, P <0.05). Conclusion The suicidal ideation among middle school students is related to individuals, families, and schools in the social ecological microsystem, as well as the cultural environment in the macro system. It is necessary to conduct intervention in suicidal ideation at the individual, family, and school levels, meanwhile, strengthening social and cultural construction to reduce the impact of adverse factors on the mental health among adolescents.
