OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of gracillin from Reineckia carnea on autophagy in non- small cell lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS Using A549 cells as subjects, the effects of different concentrations of gracillin (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 μmol/L) on the proliferation of cells were detected by CCK-8 after being treated for different time (12, 24, 48 h). Compared with the control group without medication, the effect of gracillin (2 μmol/L) on the formation of autophagosomes in cells was observed by transmission electron microscope after 24 h of exposure. The aggregation of GFP-LC3 on autophagosome membrane was detected by GFP-LC3 plasmid transfection after being treated with gracillin (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 μmol/L) for 24 h. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of family with sequence similarity 102 member A(FAM102A), the expressions of autophagy-related proteins [p62, Beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B)], and the expressions of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway-related proteins in A549 cells after being treated with gracillin (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 μmol/L) for 24 h. RESULTS Gracillin significantly inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 was 2.55 μmol/L at 24 h. After 24 h of gracillin treatment, autophagosomes with bilayer membrane structure were found in the cell cytoplasm, and GFP-LC3 green fluorescent spots on autophagosome membrane were obvious, representing an increasing trend as drug concentration. Compared with the control group, mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A (0.5, 1, 2 μmol/L groups), protein expression of Beclin-1 (1, 2 μmol/L groups) and LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ ratio (2 μmol/L group) were significantly increased in different concentrations of gracillin groups, while the protein expression of p62 (1, 2 μmol/L groups), and the protein phosphorylations of Akt (1, 2 μmol/L groups) and PI3K (2 μmol/L group) were all decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Gracillin can promote excessive autophagy in A549 cells by up-regulating mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A and inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thus inhibiting cell proliferation.

To research on area ossification ratio (AOR), a novel parameter for quantitatively assessing adolescent bone age by conventional ultrasonography, and evaluate the correlation between AOR and radiographic bone age. The study selected healthy adolescents from a middle school in Shandong Province in June 2023. Ultrasonic images were collected from five anatomical sites (the styloid process of the ulna, the styloid process of the radius, the lateral epicondyle of the femur, the medial condyle of the tibia, and the posterior median sagittal plane of the tibia). The second ossification center and epiphyseal area on these 2D ultrasound images were delineated to calculate AOR. This ratio was then compared with radiographic bone age measured by Greulich-Pyle (GP) atlas. Inter- and intra-observer consistency was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman method. A total of 179 healthy adolescents (109 males and 70 females) were included. For both genders, AOR of each site exhibited a significant to high correlation with radiological bone age ( The sum of AORs in adolescents is highly correlated with radiographic bone age, and the measurement method shows high repeatability. The AOR is a reliable parameter for the ultrasonic quantitative assessment of bone age in adolescents.

To evaluate the correlation between ultrasound ossification ratio(OR) and exercise intensity among adolescents. This cross-sectional study used stratified sampling to select adolescents aged 11-15 years from a sports school and some ordinary middle schools in Shandong Province in June 2023. The participants were divided into two groups: competitive sports group (high exercise intensity), and general sports group (moderate exercise intensity), based on their exercise intensity. Ultrasound images of long bones from nine body regions (including 3 upper limb bones and 6 lower limb bones) were collected for both groups. Two sonographers interpreted the images and calculated the ultrasound OR values (the ratio of ossification center length to epiphyseal length on the standard ultrasound section). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the consistency of image interpretation between the observers. Differences in ultrasound OR values between the two groups were compared, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the correlation between ultrasound OR values and exercise intensity. A total of 252 adolescents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included, with 154 in the competitive sports group (97 males and 57 females) and 98 in the general sports group (52 males and 46 females). The median height and average daily exercise duration were significantly higher in the competitive sports group than in the general sports group (all The medial femoral ultrasound OR value was correlated with exercise intensity among adolescents. This indicator may serve as an objective imaging parameter for assessing whether adolescent exercise meets recommended standards.

Objective:To explore the specific role and molecular mechanism of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) in promoting the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and radioresistance.Methods:The Gene Expression Profile Data Dynamic Analysis (GEPIA) database was used to analyze the expression differences of the Oct4 gene in different types of tumor tissues and their corresponding adjacent normal tissues. The clinical data and surgical resection tissue specimens of 196 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received surgery combined with radiotherapy at Henan Provincial Chest Hospital from January 2013 to May 2022 were collected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Oct4 protein in the tumor and adjacent tissues. The lentiviral packaging system was used to construct esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines that up-regulated or down-regulated Oct4. The cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the cell proliferation ability, the scratch test was used to detect the cell migration ability, and the clone formation test was used to detect the cell radiosensitivity. Immunofluorescence experiment was used to detect DNA damage level, and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of Oct4, human phosphorylated histone (γ-H2AX), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and zinc finger E box binding homology box 1 (ZEB1).Results:The analysis of GEPIA database showed that the expression level of Oct4 mRNA in esophageal carcinoma was higher than that in paracancerous tissues. The expression level of Oct4 protein in tumor tissues was 78.35±1.42, which was higher than that in adjacent tissues (16.27±0.49). The survival time of patients with a high expression of Oct4 was significantly shorter than that of patients with a low expression of Oct4 (25.40 and 47.00 months). Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability of KYSE510 cells in the Oct4 up-regulated group was enhanced after 72-h culture, and the cell migration ability of these cells was also enhanced, with the migration rate being (41.67±1.20)% vs (23.67±1.86)% after 24-h culture. The radiosensitivity of cells in this group decreased, with the radiosensitivity enhancement ratio being 0.69±0.06 vs 1.00±0.02. After radiotherapy, the expressions of γ-H2AX and E-cadherin decreased, while the expressions of ZEB1, vimentin and N-cadherin increased. Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability of KYSE150 cells in the Oct4 down-regulated groups 1 and 2 decreased (absorbance being 2.51±0.17, 2.38±0.16, and 3.33±0.07, respectively, P<0.01) after 72-h culture, and the migration ability also decreased, with the migration rate being (13.33±0.88)%, (13.00±1.00)%, and (40.33±2.03)%, respectively (all P<0.001), after 24-h culture. The radiosensitivity was enhanced, with the radiosensitivity enhancement ratio being 1.34±0.11,1.24±0.07, and 1.00±0.02, respectively (all P<0.05). After radiotherapy, the expressions of γ-H2AX and E-cadherin increased, while the expressions of ZEB1, vimentin and N-cadherin decreased. Compared with the control group, the proliferation ability of KYSE510 cells in the ZEB1 down-regulated group decreased [absorbance being 1.33±0.15 vs 1.81±0.16 ( P=0.002)] after 72-h culture. The radiosensitivity was enhanced, with the radiosensitivity enhancement ratio being 1.37±0.11 vs 1.00±0.01 ( P=0.037), and after radiotherapy the expression of γ-H2AX increased. Conclusion:Oct4 is involved in the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which promotes the proliferation, migration, and radioresistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Preliminary exploration of using ultrasound to quantitatively evaluate the development of epiphyseal cartilage and analyze its correlation with bone age, based on the ultrasound findings of the long bone joint end. A study was conducted on adolescents studying at a sports school in Jining from March to June 2023. Age, height and other information were recorded. Bone age assessment by X ray were performed within 1 week with an endocrinologist interpreted the bone age using the Greulich-Pyle atlas. Two sonographers scanned a total of 7 sites in the hand, wrist and knee joint of the non-dominant side (including the dorsal side of the third metacarpal head, the ulnar styloid process, the radial styloid process, the medial and the lateral femoral epicondyle, dorsal tibia, and medial tibial condyle). The ultrasonic epiphyseal cartilage thickness (UECT) was measured and its correlation with bone age was analyzed. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the reliability and repeatability of UECT measurement. A total of 141 adolescents were included, with 80 males and 61 females. The average age was 13 (12-14) years old. The average bone age was 15(13-17) years in males and 16 (14-17) years in females. The proportion of the males and females whose bone age was 1 year older than chronological age was 60% and 67%, respectively, and the height of the males was significantly higher than that of the females( Ultrasound can observe and describe the developmental change of long bone, and UECT has potential value in quantitative evaluation of bone maturity.
