[摘 要] 目的:探讨lncRNA DLEU2通过EZH2/H3K27me3途径调控IKKα介导甲状腺癌(TC)放射性碘抵抗的作用机制。方法:利用TCGA数据库分析TC中DLEU2的表达及其与EZH2的相关性。构建放射性碘抵抗的TPC-1细胞(RR-TPC-1细胞)模型及裸鼠移植瘤模型,通过敲低或过表达DLEU2(si-DLEU2/OE-DLEU2)、抑制EZH2(UNC1999)、过表达IKKα(OE-IKKα)进行干预,采用qPCR、WB、RIP、ChIP、CCK-8、流式细胞术、TUNEL染色及体内成瘤实验检测基因与蛋白表达、表观修饰、细胞增殖、凋亡及肿瘤生长。结果:TCGA分析显示,DLEU2在TC组织中显著上调(P < 0.001),与患者不良预后相关(P = 0.008 4),且与EZH2表达呈正相关(r = 0.390, P < 0.001);RIP证实EZH2与DLEU2存在相互作用/结合(P < 0.05)。体外实验表明,敲低DLEU2可显著下调RR-TPC-1细胞中EZH2、IKKα表达及H3K27me3修饰水平,抑制NF-κB通路活化(P < 0.05或P < 0.01),抑制细胞增殖、促进凋亡(均P < 0.05)。联合敲低DLEU2与抑制EZH2进一步增强上述效应,而过表达IKKα则可部分逆转上述效应(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。体内实验进一步证实,敲低DLEU2联合抑制EZH2可显著抑制移植瘤生长,增加肿瘤细胞凋亡(均P < 0.01);IKKα过表达则部分逆转上述抗肿瘤效应(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。结论:lncRNA DLEU2通过招募EZH2催化H3K27me3修饰,间接激活IKKα/NF-κB信号并形成正反馈环路,介导TPC-1细胞131I抵抗。

OBJECTIVE:
To explore a case of abnormal fetal development due to a rare paternal t(10;14)(p11.2;p11) translocation.
METHODS:
A fetus undergoing prenatal diagnosis at Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital on June 21,2024 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data were collected. Amniotic fluid sample of the fetus and peripheral venous blood samples of its parents were collected for chromosomal karyotyping and copy number variation (CNV) analysis. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: 2024-132).
RESULTS:
Ultrasound scan at 23+4 gestational weeks revealed nasal bone dysplasia. Amniotic fluid analysis revealed that the fetus has a karyotype of 46,X?,der(14)t(10;14)(p11.2;p11)dpat, while its father had a 46,XY,t(10;14)(p11.2;p11) karyotype. No chromosomal abnormality was found in its mother. CNV analysis revealed that the fetus had a 30.46 Mb duplication in the 10p15.3-p11.23 region. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the duplication was classified as pathogenic.
CONCLUSION
By combining conventional cytogenetic methods with molecular techniques, the fetus was diagnosed with partial trisomy 10p syndrome caused by a rare paternal t(10;14)(p11.2;p11) translocation. Above finding holds significant clinical value for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the family.

Objective To explore the short-term prognosis and risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with fulminant myocarditis induced refractory cardiogenic shock(FM-RCS)receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO)treatment,and to construct an early prognosis prediction model using relevant indicators.Methods A total of 61 FM-RCS patients treatment by VA-ECMO in the department of intensive care unit of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to February 2024,excluding 15 cases with age less than 18 years and 3 cases with ECMO treatment duration less than 24 hours,a total of 43 patients were finally included.Participants were stratified into survival(n=19)and mortality(n=24)groups according to discharge outcomes.Demographic data,chronic disease history,early laboratory indicators,left ventricular function indicators,and basic reference values of hemodynamics were systematically compared between the two groups.Variable selection was performed using LASSO regression,followed by multivariate COX regression analysis to screen independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in ECMO-treatment FM-RCS patients.A nomogram prediction model was subsequently developed using R software and validated through calibration curves,concordance index(C-index),and receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)analysis.Results The overall survival rate of the 43 enrolled patients was 44.2%,with 19 cases in the survival group and 24 cases in the mortality group.In early laboratory indicators,the survival group exhibited significantly lower levels of initial lactic acid(Lac),24-hour Lac(Lac 24 h),24-hour MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase(CK-MB 24 h),24-hour cardiac troponin T(cTnT 24 h),24-hour total bilirubin(TBil 24 h),24-hour serum creatinine(SCr 24 h),and lactate albumin ratio(LAR)compared to the mortality group[initial Lac(mmol/L):2.7(1.3,7.6)vs.9.2(5.9,14.0),Lac 24 h(mmol/L):2.4(2.0,3.6)vs.5.4(3.3,9.2),CK-MB 24 h(U/L):58.0(28.0,115.0)vs.167.7(68.5,280.3),cTnT 24 h(μg/L):0.53(0.37,2.41)vs.3.92(3.10,8.86),TBil 24h(μmol/L):18.3(9.9,37.8)vs.40.2(24.6,67.0),SCr 24 h(μmol/L):90.63±42.49 vs.177.76±70.76,LAR:0.09(0.04,0.23)vs.0.31(0.20,0.38),all P<0.05],serum albumin(Alb)levels were significantly higher in the survival group[g/L:36.0(31.9,39.2)vs.31.7(26.4,34.4),P<0.05].The mortality group had a higher incidence of malignant arrhythmias[66.7%(16/24)vs.31.6%(6/19),P<0.05].The LASSO regression model identified four non-zero coefficient variables-Lac 24 h,CK-MB 24 h,cTnT 24 h,and SCr 24 h-which were included in the subsequent multivariate COX regression analysis.The results demonstrated that Lac 24 h[hazard ratio(HR)and 95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 1.186(1.074-1.310),P<0.001]and cTnT 24 h(HR=1.230,95%CIwas 1.078-1.404,P=0.002)were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in VA-ECMO treatment FM-RCS patients.A predictive model constructed using these two indicators showed a C-index of 0.812,area under the curve(AUC)=0.941,with 91.7%sensitivity and 94.7%specificity.Furthermore,compared to the survival group,the mortality group exhibited significantly higher incidences of acute kidney injury[91.7%(22/24)vs.36.8%(7/19)]and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy[62.5%(15/24)vs.10.5%(2/19),both P<0.05].The mortality group also required greater transfusion volumes[mL:3 800(1 420,8 515)vs.1 200(400,3 020),P<0.05],but had shorter total hospitalization durations[days:7(3,13)vs.23(20,44),P<0.05].Conclusion For FM-RCS patients receiving VA-ECMO treatment,Lac 24 h and cTnT 24 h after ECMO initiation are independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.Clinicians should be vigilant about poor prognosis in FM-RCS patients with high Lac 24 h hours(>2.5 mmol/L)and cTnT 24 hours(>3.01 μg/L)after ECMO treatment.
