Sigma-1 receptor (σ 1R) has become a focus point of drug discovery for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. A series of novel 1-phenylethan-1-one O-(2-aminoethyl) oxime derivatives were synthesized. In vitro biological evaluation led to the identification of 1a, 14a, 15d and 16d as the most high-affinity (K i < 4 nmol/L) and selective σ 1R agonists. Among these, 15d, the most metabolically stable derivative exhibited high selectivity for σ 1R in relation to σ 2R and 52 other human targets. In addition to low CYP450 inhibition and induction, 15d also exhibited high brain permeability and excellent oral bioavailability. Importantly, 15d demonstrated effective antipsychotic potency, particularly for alleviating negative symptoms and improving cognitive impairment in experimental animal models, both of which are major challenges for schizophrenia treatment. Moreover, 15d produced no significant extrapyramidal symptoms, exhibiting superior pharmacological profiles in relation to current antipsychotic drugs. Mechanistically, 15d inhibited GSK3β and enhanced prefrontal BDNF expression and excitatory synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons. Collectively, these in vivo proof-of-concept findings provide substantial experimental evidence to demonstrate that modulating σ 1R represents a potential new therapeutic approach for schizophrenia. The novel chemical entity along with its favorable drug-like and pharmacological profile of 15d renders it a promising candidate for treating schizophrenia.

Background and objective Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).However,the insensitivity of some tumor cells to radiation is one of the major reasons for the poor efficacy of radiotherapy and the poor prognosis of patients,and exploring the underlying mechanisms behind radioresistance is the key to solving this clinical challenge.This study aimed to identify the molecules associated with radioresistance in lung ad-enocarcinoma(LUAD),identified thyroid hormone receptor interactor 13(TRIP13)as the main target initially,and explored whether TRIP 13 is related to radioresistance in LUAD and the specific mechanism,with the aim of providing theoretical basis and potential targets for the combination therapy of LUAD patients receiving radiotherapy in the clinic.Methods Three data-sets,GSE18842,GSE19188 and GSE33532,were selected from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database and screened for differentially expressed genes(|log FC|>1.5,P<0.05)in each of the three datasets using the R 4.1.3 software,and then Venn diagram was used to find out the differentially expressed genes common to the three datasets.The screened differential genes were then subjected to protein-protein interaction(PPI)analysis and module analysis with the help of STRING online tool and Cytoscape software,and survival prognosis analysis was performed for each gene with the help of Kaplan-Meier Plotter database,and the TRIP13 gene was identified as the main molecule for subsequent studies.Subsequently,the human LUAD cell line H292 was irradiated with multiple X-rays using a sub-lethal dose irradiation method to construct a radioresistant cell line,H292DR.The radioresistance of H292DR cells was verified using cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay and clone formation assay.The expression levels of TRIP 13 in H292 and H292DR cells were measured by Western blot.Small interfering RNA(siRNA)was used to silence the expression of TRIP 13 in H292DR cells and Western blot assay was performed.The clone formation ability and migration ability of H292DR cells were observed after TRIP13 silencing,followed by the detection of changes in the expression levels of proteins closely related to homologous recombination,such as ataxia telangiectasia mutated(ATM)protein.Results Screening of multiple GEO datasets,validation of external datasets and survival analysis revealed that TRIP 13 was highly expressed in LUAD and was associated with poor prognosis in LUAD patients who had received radiation therapy.And the results of gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)of TRIP13 suggested that TRIP13 might be closely associated with LUAD radioresistance by promoting homologous recombination repair after radiation therapy.Experimentally,TRIP13 expression was found to be upregulated in H292DR,and silencing of TRIP13 was able to increase the sensitivity of H292DR cells to radiation.Conclusion TRIP13 is associated with poor prognosis in LUAD patients treated with radiation,possibly by promoting a homologous recombination repair pathway to mediate resistance of LUAD cells to radiation.

BACKGROUND:
Low-density computed tomography (LDCT) improved early lung cancer diagnosis but introduces an excess of false-positive pulmonary nodules data. Hence, accurate diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer remains challenging. The purpose of the study was to assess the feasibility of using circulating tumour cells (CTCs) to differentiate malignant from benign pulmonary nodules.
METHODS:
122 patients with suspected malignant pulmonary nodules detected on chest CT in preparation for surgery were prospectively recruited. Peripheral blood samples were collected before surgery, and CTCs were identified upon isolation by size of epithelial tumour cells and morphological analysis. Laser capture microdissection, MALBAC amplification, and whole-exome sequencing were performed on 8 samples. The diagnostic efficacy of CTCs counting, and the genomic variation profile of benign and malignant CTCs samples were analysed.
RESULTS:
Using 2.5 cells/5 mL as the cut-off value, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was of 0.651 (95% confidence interval: 0.538-0.764), with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.526 and 0.800, respectively, and positive and negative predictive values of 91.1% and 30.3%, respectively. Distinct sequence variations differences in DNA damage repair-related and driver genes were observed in benign and malignant samples. TP53 mutations were identified in CTCs of four malignant cases; in particular, g.7578115T>C, g.7578645C>T, and g.7579472G>C were exclusively detected in all four malignant samples.
CONCLUSIONS
CTCs play an ancillary role in the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules. TP53 mutations in CTCs might be used to identify benign and malignant pulmonary nodules.
