[摘 要] 目的:探讨miR-203a-3p对胰腺癌BxPC-3细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭能力的影响。方法:运用癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库筛选胰腺癌组织和癌旁组织中差异表达的miRNA,分析miRNA高表达与低表达时胰腺癌患者的生存率和临床分期;利用TarBase数据库分析miRNA与癌症相关的GO功能与KEGG通路,利用DIANA Tools、miRDB和TargetScan网站预测miR-203a-3p的靶基因。将miR-203a-3p mimic及NC mimic、miR-203a-3p inhibitor及NC inhibitor转染至BxPC-3细胞,用qPCR法检测胰腺癌细胞和胰腺正常上皮细胞HPNE中miR-203a-3p、miR-192-5p和miR-451a表达水平,以CCK-8法、Transwell小室法和克隆形成实验分别检测BxPC-3细胞的增殖、迁移、侵袭和集落形成能力。结果:通过TCGA数据库筛选出18个胰腺癌组织中差异表达的miRNA,其中miR-203a-3p、miR-192-5p、miR-451a具有物种保守性,且其与胰腺癌临床癌症分期、细胞周期和患者生存率相关(均P<0.05);生物信息学网站预测显示miR-203a-3p的候选靶基因是PPM1A,PPM1A与多基因存在相互作用。miR-203a-3p、miR-192-5p和miR-451a在BxPC-3和Aspc-1细胞中均高表达(均P<0.01)。miR-203a-3p mimic组BxPC-3细胞中miR-203a-3p表达水平以及细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭能力均显著提高(均P<0.01);miR-203a-3p inhibitor组细胞中miR-203a-3p表达水平以及细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭能力均显著降低(均P<0.01)。结论:miR-203a-3p在胰腺癌组织及细胞中均高表达,其表达与患者生存和临床分期相关,可调控BxPC-3细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力。

PURPOSE: Details of patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation in mainland China are lacking. To improve disease control and reduce economic burden, a large sample survey among this patient population is indispensable. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of such patients.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation in 29 hospitals of 29 regions in mainland China during the period 2013 to 2014. Demographic features, pre-admission conditions, exacerbation details, and outcomes were summarized. Risk factors for exacerbation severity were analyzed.RESULTS: There were 3,240 asthmatic patients included in this study (57.7% females, 42.3% males). Only 28.0% used daily controller medications; 1,287 (39.7%) patients were not currently on inhaled corticosteroids. Acute upper airway infection was the most common trigger of exacerbation (42.3%). Patients with severe to life-threatening exacerbation tended to have a longer disease course, a smoking history, and had comorbidities such as hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and food allergy. The multivariate analysis showed that smoking history, comorbidities of hypertension, COPD, and food allergy were independent risk factors for more severe exacerbation. The number of patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation varied with seasons, peaking in March and September. Eight patients died during the study period (mortality 0.25%).CONCLUSIONS: Despite enhanced education on asthma self-management in China during recent years, few patients were using daily controller medications before the onset of their exacerbation, indicating that more educational efforts and considerations are needed. The findings of this study may improve our understanding of hospital admission for asthma exacerbation in mainland China and provide evidence for decision-making.
