Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of Dendrobium nobile Lindl alkaloids(DNLA)on the proliferation,migration,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of HLEB3 cells induced by TGF-β2.Methods HLEB3 cells were cultivated in vitro and classified into the control group(DZ),the model group(TGF-β2),and the treatment group(TGF-β2+DNLA).TGF-β2 induced the EMT process of HLEB3 cells.Changes in cell morphology were observed through an inverted microscope.Cell proliferation,apoptosis,and migration were detected by CCK-8 assay,scratch test,and Transwell assay.The total RNAs of the samples were extracted for transcriptome analysis.Bioinformatics processing was employed to obtain relevant information on gene expression differences at the transcriptional level,biological processes,and related signaling pathways.The Western blot(WB)technique was utilized to detect EMT-related proteins to elucidate the mechanism of action of DNLA on lens epithelial cells.Results The study revealed that 10 μg/ml DNLA was suitable for the growth of HLEB3 cells.After 48 hours of the scratch test,the migration rate of the TGF-β2+DNLA group significantly decreased(P<0.01).The Transwell results indicated that the cell migration ability of the TGF-β2+DNLA group was notably weakened(P<0.05).Through bioinformatics,it was discovered that the prevention and treatment of posterior capsular opacification(PCO)by DNLA might be associated with cell junctions,cytoskeleton construction,and fibronectin binding.The pathogenesis of PCO may be related to multiple signaling pathways,including the TGF-β signaling pathway,TNF signaling pathway,and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.Simultaneously,DNLA could reduce the expression levels of FNI,Smad2/3,and α-SMA proteins and increase the expression of E-cadherin protein.This indicates that DNLA can alleviate abnormal proliferation,migration,and EMT of lens epithelial cells by enhancing intercellular adhesion junctions and weakening cell migration ability,thereby playing a role in preventing and treating posterior capsular opacification.Conclusions DNLA can significantly inhibit the abnormal proliferation and migration of HLEB3 cells,alleviate the EMT process induced by TGF-β2,and prevent and control the occurrence of posterior capsular opacification and other ocular diseases.The mechanism of action might be related to the intervention of the TGF-β/smad signaling pathway and fibrosis proteins such as ZO-1 and E-cadherin.

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism by which 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone(D2)inhibits proliferation,migration,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in colorectal cancer cells through miR-7-5p-mediated autophagy.Methods:Human colorectal cancer cell lines HCT-15 and SW620 were treated with D2 at concentrations of 0,12.5,25,and 50 μmol/L.Cell proliferation and clonogenic capacity were evaluated using MTT and colony formation assays.Cell migration was assessed by wound healing and Transwell assays.WB assay was used to detect the expression of EMT-related proteins,autophagy-related proteins,and key components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.Autophagosome formation was visualized by immunofluorescence staining.TCGA database and KEGG pathway analyses were performed to evaluate miR-7-5p expression and its association with colorectal cancer.RT-qPCR was used to quantify miR-7-5p expression,and lentiviral transduction was employed to establish stable miR-7-5p knockdown or overexpression cell lines.Results:D2 significantly inhibited colorectal cancer cell proliferation,migration,and EMT(P<0.05 or P<0.01).TCGA and KEGG analyses revealed that miR-7-5p expression was downregulated in colorectal cancer and closely associated with disease progression.D2 treatment(12.5,25,and 50 μmol/L)significantly upregulated miR-7-5p expression in HCT-15 and SW620 cells(P<0.01).At 25 μmol/L,D2 increased the expression of autophagy-related proteins(LC3 and p-ULK1)and inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway(P<0.05),accompanied by increased autophagosome formation(P<0.01).In miR-7-5p-knockdown cells treated with D2,the levels of LC3 and p-ULK1 were significantly reduced compared to D2-only treated cells(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:D2 upregulates miR-7-5p to induce autophagy,thereby inhibiting colorectal cancer cell proliferation,migration,and EMT,possibly through suppression of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) for muscle atrophy in patients with immobilization after surgical fixation of foot and ankle fractures.MethodsThis was a two-arm randomized controlled trial wherein 80 patients were recruited and divided into control (n = 40) and intervention (n = 40) groups. The control group received conventional orthopedic treatment, whereas the intervention group received TEAS and conventional treatment. The intervention group received TEAS 3 times a week for 30 min each time for 8 weeks. The primary outcomes were muscle thickness (MT) and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the rectus femoris and gastrocnemius muscles, whereas the secondary outcome measure was echo intensity (EI). Data were collected before the fixation operations (baseline assessment) and 4 and 8 weeks after intervention.ResultsCompared with baseline, the MT and CSA were reduced in both groups by the end of treatment, whereas EI increased in both groups. At week 4, the reduction in the rectus femoris CSA in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P = .02); however, the between-group differences in the MT and EI (all P .05) were not significant. No serious adverse events were observed in either group.ConclusionOur study showed that TEAS can improve muscle atrophy by attenuating the decline in the muscle CSA. Because this was only a pilot trial, subsequent studies will need longer follow-ups and larger sample sizes.
