[摘 要] 目的:探讨m6A调控因子在宫颈癌预后评估、免疫微环境特征及治疗反应中的作用,构建基于m6A调控因子的预后风险模型,并分析其与免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞间通信的关系。方法:基于TCGA和GEO数据库中宫颈鳞癌及腺癌(CESC)转录组数据,分析22个m6A调控因子的表达与突变情况;采用LASSO‑Cox回归构建m6A相关预后风险模型,并依据风险评分将患者分为高、低风险组。利用CIBERSORT和ESTIMATE算法评估两组免疫细胞浸润及微环境特征;通过oncoPredict预测抗肿瘤药物敏感性。整合单细胞转录组数据(E-MTAB-12305),采用CellChat分析细胞间通信网络。结果:共鉴定出12个在宫颈癌中差异表达的m6A调控因子。高风险组患者总生存期缩短(P < 0.05),免疫评分降低,且对紫杉醇、氟尿嘧啶、多柔比星等抗肿瘤药物敏感性较差(IC50较高)。单细胞分析显示宫颈癌组织中细胞间通信网络发生改变,其中T细胞与内皮/上皮细胞间的相互作用可能主要由CCL5‑ACKR1和MIF‑(CD74 + CXCR4)配体‑受体介导。在临床样本中,对关键的m6A调控因子进行mRNA和蛋白水平的验证,结果显示部分调控因子在宫颈癌组织中的表达水平高于正常宫颈组织(P < 0.05)。结论:m6A调控因子特征可有效预测宫颈癌患者预后,其风险评分与肿瘤免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞通信密切相关,为宫颈癌的预后分层及个体化治疗提供了新的分子依据。

With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),which is essentially primary liver cancer,is closely related to CD8+T cell immune infiltration and immune suppression.We constructed a CD8+T cells related risk score model to pre-dict the prognosis of HCC patients and provided therapeutic guidance based on the risk score.Using integrated bulk RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)and single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)datasets,we identified stable CD8+T cell signatures.Based on these signatures,a 3-gene risk score model,comprised of KLRB1,RGS2,and TN-FRSF1B was constructed.The risk score model was well validated through an independent external validation co-hort.We divided patients into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the risk score and compared the differ-ences in immune microenvironment between these two groups.Compared with low-risk patients,high-risk patients have higher M2-type macrophage content(P<0.0001)and lower CD8+T cells infiltration(P<0.0001).High-risk patients predict worse response to immunotherapy treatment than low-risk patients(P<0.01).Drug sensitivity a-nalysis shows that PI3K-β inhibitor AZD6482 and TGFβRII inhibitor SB505124 may be suitable therapies for high-risk patients,while the IGF-1R inhibitor BMS-754807 or the novel pyrimidine-based anti-tumor metabolic drug Gemcitabine could be potential therapeutic choices for low-risk patients.Moreover,expression of these 3-gene mod-el was verified by immunohistochemistry.In summary,the establishment and validation of a CD8+T cell-derived risk model can more accurately predict the prognosis of HCC patients and guide the construction of personalized treatment plans.

IgA nephropathy(IgAN)is one of the most prevalent forms of primary glomerulonephritis globally and a leading cause of end-stage renal disease(ESRD).The exact pathogenesis and progression mechanisms of IgAN remain unclear.Its clinical manifestations are diverse,with varying degrees of kidney involvement reflected in both clinical presentations and pathological changes.Consequently,responses to treatment and prognoses differ significantly among patients.Currently,renal needle biopsy serves as the gold standard for diagnosing IgAN;how-ever,this invasive procedure is often not well-accepted by patients,limiting its widespread clinical application and complicating disease diagnosis.Therefore,non-invasive biomarkers are crucial for assisting in the diagnosis of IgAN and evaluating the risk of disease progression.Below,we will focus on various serum and urinary biomarkers associated with IgAN at both protein and nucleic acid levels.

Aim To explore the effect of the classical famous prescription Dahuang Zhechong pill(DHZCP)on relieving liver cirrhosis by regulating the stress fiber remodeling mediated by mechanistic signaling pathway and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods Mice were randomly divided into the control group,model group,DHZCP low-dose group,DHZCP high-dose group,and Colchicine-positive control group.The liver cirrhosis mouse model was constructed by intrap-eritoneal injection of olive oil-solubilized CCl4.HE staining and serologic markers were used to reflect liver injury.Masson staining was used to evaluate collagen deposition in liver tissue.ELISA was applied to detect vasoactive molecules and cancer indicators.Atomic force microscopy was employed to detect liver tissue stiffness.Color Doppler diagnostic instrument was used to assess portal blood flow velocity.Western blot was utilized to detect ROCK2 expression and phosphoryla-tion of YAP,Cofilin,and MLC.Results The liver tis-sues in the model group had obvious inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen deposition,accompanied by significant elevation of serum transaminases and fibrosis indexes.Similarly,vasoactive molecules and cancer in-dicators were elevated,and the mechanoregulatory pro-tein ROCK2 expression and phosphorylation of Cofilin and MLC were elevated,with YAP being strongly de-phosphorylated.Both low and high doses of DHZCP re-versed the pathological changes,serological indices,and inhibited the activation of the stress fiber(SF)re-modeling mechanistic signaling pathway.Conclusion DHZCP effectively ameliorates liver tissue lesions in mice with liver cirrhosis,and its mechanism may be re-lated to the inhibition of SF remodeling mechanistic signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the correlation of the characteristics of symptomatic middle cerebral artery plaques with the risk of stroke recurrence based on high-resolution vessel wall imaging(HR-VWI).Methods Totally 83 patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke(AIS)and transient ischemic attack(TIA)at Jingmen People's Hospital and Yichang Central People's Hospital from January 2019 to August 2022 were selected prospectively,who all underwent the treatment with antiplatelet aggregation and intensive lipid lowering by statins.During the follow-up,AIS or TIA recurrences were determined in case of newly found symptoms of neurological impairment in the same supply area of the responsible vessel or new infarct foci confirmed by cranial diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).The patients with AIS or TIA recurrences were enrolled into a recurrence group,and the remained ones were divided into a non-recurrence group.The recurrence group went through HR-VWI scanning within two weeks of recurrence and statin treatment,and the non-recurrence group was examined with HR-VWI half a year after receiving statin treatment.All the patients had their clinical indexes compared before and after statin treatment,the baseline data of the two groups underwent univariate analysis,and Logistic regression analysis was performed for the high-risk factors related to recurrence.SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results After six months of statin treatment,all the patients were improved in TC,TG,luminal stenosis rate,high T1WI signal,plaque burden,plaque enhancement rate and NIHSS score,with the differences being significant(all P<0.05).Univariate analysis showed the recurrence group had higher plaque enhancement rates(P=0.012)and higher plaque burden(P=0.047)when compared with the non-recurrence group,with the differences being significant;the two groups were not statistically different in luminal stenosis rate,high T1WI signal,plaque thickness and remodeling index(all P>0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated the plaque enhancement rate was independently correlated with stroke recurrence within 6 months(P=0.027).Conclusion HR-VWI can effectively assess MCA plaque characteristics in recurrent stroke patients,and high plaque enhancement rate faciliates the evaluation of stroke recurrence.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(2):63-67]
