[摘 要] 目的:为解决野生型B细胞成熟抗原(BCMA)被γ分泌酶切割导致表达不稳定的问题,构建抵抗γ分泌酶切割的BCMA突变体并构建靶细胞,用于评价BCMA CAR-T细胞的杀伤功能。方法:将野生型BCMA的穿膜域替换为人CD8α穿膜域,构建抵抗γ分泌酶切割的BCMA突变体(BCMA-CD8α TM),构建过表达该突变体的U266(U266BCMA Mut)、K562(K562BCMA Mut)、SKOV3(SKOV3BCMA Mut)和CHO(CHOBCMA Mut)细胞;构建装载NFAT-EGFP报告基因的BCMA CAR Jurkat细胞(BCMA-CAR-Jurkat-Reporter)与U266BCMA Mut细胞共培养,采用FCM检测该细胞中EGFP表达水平以指示NFAT激活水平,荧光素酶法检测BCMA CAR-T细胞对Luciferase标记的K562BCMA Mut细胞的杀伤作用,实时无标记动态细胞分析技术(RTCA)检测BCMA CAR-T细胞对SKOV3BCMA Mut和CHOBCMA Mut细胞的杀伤作用。结果:应用γ分泌酶抑制剂LY411575抑制γ分泌酶活性,显著增强野生型U266细胞表面BCMA表达水平,平均荧光强度上调10倍以上;但撤除抑制剂后BCMA表达水平逐渐降低(P<0.01);BCMA-CD8α TM突变体可抵抗γ分泌酶的切割作用,在U266细胞表面稳定表达(P>0.05);U266细胞及过表达BCMA-CD8α TM的U266细胞与BCMA-CAR-Jurkat-Reporter细胞共培养后都可激活Reporter系统、增强EGFP表达,但该效应在BCMA-CD8α TM过表达的U266细胞中更显著(P<0.01);BCMA-CD8α TM在BCMA表达阴性的K562、SKOV3和CHO 3种靶细胞中成功过表达,且在LY411575处理下该突变体的表达水平仅有小幅度升高;荧光素酶法检测结果显示,不同效靶比下,BCMA CAR-T细胞均可特异、高效杀伤过表达BCMA-CD8α TM的K562细胞;RTCA结果显示,不同效靶比下,BCMA CAR-T细胞均可有效识别、杀伤过表达BCMA-CD8α TM的SKOV3和CHO细胞,但同等效靶比下的Mock-T细胞无此效应。结论:本实验构建的BCMA-CD8α TM突变体能够抵抗γ分泌酶的切割,在多种靶细胞表面稳定表达,为评价BCMA CAR-T细胞体外杀伤的有效性和特异性提供多种检测手段。

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of lncRNA SNHG11 on the proliferation, invasion and migration of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells and its possible mechanisms. Methods: qPCR was used to detect the levels of lncRNA SNHG11 and miR-193a-5p in human embryonic lung cells (HEL-1) and lung cancer cells (A549, H1299, and HCC827). A549 cells were transfected with SNHG11 small interfering RNA (si-SNHG11), miR-193a mimic or miR-193a inhibitor. The proliferation of A549 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay, migration and invasion of A549 cells were detected by Wound healing and Transwell assay, the protein expression of Ki67 and Cyclin D1 was determined by Western blot, and the targeting relationship between lncRNA SNHG11 and miR-193a-5p was verified by Dual-luciferase reporter experiment. Results: Compared with HEL-1 cells, the expression level of lncRNA SNHG11 was significantly increased while the expression of miR-193a-5p was decreased in lung cancer A549, H1299 and HCC827 cells (all P<0.05). Silencing lncRNA SNHG11 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells and reduced the protein expression of Ki67 and Cyclin D1 (all P<0.05). Over-expression of miR-193a-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells (all P<0.05). lncRNA SNHG11 could targetedly adsorb miR-193a-5p. miR-139a-5p inhibition could partially reverse the effect of silencing lncRNA SNHG11 on the proliferation, invasion and migration of A549 cells (all P<0.05). Conclusion: lncRNA SNHG11 promotes the proliferation, invasion and migration of NSCLC cells by adsorbing miR-193a-5p.

[Abstract] Objective: To study the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in vitamin E succinate (VES) activating endoplasmic
reticulum stress-induced autophagy in human gastric SGC-7901 cells. Methods: SGC-7901 cells were treated with different doses of
VES (5, 10, 15, 20 μg/ml) for 24 h, then, qPCR and WB were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of autophagy markers
LC3 and Beclin-1; Under the action of reticulum stress inhibitor 4-PBA, the fluorescence intensity and distribution of LC3 were
observed under laser confocal microscope, and then qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress
markers GRP78, GRP94 and autophagy markers LC3, Beclin-1. Under the action of the JNK inhibitor SP600125, WB was used to
detect the protein expression changes of p-JNK and autophagy marker proteins LC3 and Beclin-1. Results: Compared with the control
group, with the increase of the concentration of VES, the mRNA and protein expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3 showed a gradual
increase (all P < 0.05), and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ ratio also increased significantly (P < 0.01); compared with 20 μg/ml VES group, after
pretreatment with endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor 4-PBA, mRNA expressions of GRP78, GRP94, LC3 and Beclin-1 decreased
(all P < 0.01), and the intensity of LC3 punctate aggregation decreased; after pretreatment with JNK inhibitor SP600125, the protein
expression levels of p-JNK, LC3 and Beclin-1 were lower than those of 20 μg/ml VES group (all P < 0.01), these results indicated that
inhibition of JNK activity could inhibit the occurrence of autophagy. Conclusion: VES can induce autophagy in SGC-7901cells by
activating endoplasmic reticulum stress, and JNK participates in the regulation process of endoplasmic reticulum stress on autophagy.

<b>Objective:b> To understand the situation related to health seeking and diagnosis of imported malaria and to provide practical measures for malaria elimination in Jiangsu province. <b>Methods:b> Data on imported malaria cases in Jiangsu province was retrieved in CISDCP from 2014 to 2016. Relevant information on health seeking behavior, diagnosis and treatment of the disease was gathered. <b>Results:b> A total of 1 068 imported cases were reported in Jiangsu province from 2014 to 2016. Except for one malaria case that was caused by blood transfusion, the rest patients were all recognized as 'imported'. Majority of the cases were migrant laborers working in African countries. The accurate rates on the diagnosis of ovale, vivax and quartan malaria and mixed infection were relatively low, as 79.3% (107/135), 29.5% (18/61), 52.9% (18/34) and 0.0% (0/2) at the primary health care settings, respectively. Rate of seeking health care on the same day of onset was more in 2015 than in 2014 and 2016 (χ(2)=18.6, P=0.001). While only 65.4% (699/1 068) of the patients were diagnosed correctly at the primary health care settings. There appeared no statistical difference in the 3-year-study period (χ(2)=5.4, P=0.246). Capacity on 'correct diagnosis' seemed stronger at the CDC than at the hospital levels (χ(2)=13.2, P=0.000; χ(2)=5.4, P=0.020). Totally, 72.7% (32/44) of the severe falciparum malaria cases did not immediately seek for health care when the symptoms started. <b>Conclusions:b> Migrant workers returning from the high endemic malaria areas seemed to have poor awareness in seeking health care services. Capability on correct diagnosis for malaria at the primary health care settings remained unsatisfactory and staff from these settings needs to receive adequate training.

<b>Objective:b> To understand the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of typhoid and paratyphoid in China from 2009 to 2013, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of typhoid and paratyphoid, the development and improvement of surveillance strategies. <b>Methods:b> Epidemiological analysis was conducted on the incidence data of typhoid and paratyphoid, and related public health emergencies in China during 2009-2013. Pathogen isolation and culture, serologic test were conducted for the typhoid and paratyphoid cases from 13 national surveillance sites. The isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed for the molecular typing of these isolates. <b>Results:b> The average incidence of typhoid and paratyphoid in China during this period was 1.03/100 000. The reported case number and incidence decreased with year. The provinces reporting high case numbers were Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Xinjiang. The incidence of age group 0-4 years was highest. The proportion of farmers and children outside child care settings showed an increasing tendency over time. The annual incidence peak was during July-August. Twenty five outbreaks occurred during 2009-2013. The results of pathogen isolation and culture showed that the positive rate was 3.00% (940/31 322), among the positive isolates, the proportion of Salmonella paratyphi A accounted for higher proportion (68.19%, 641/940) compared with Salmonella typhi (31.60%, 297/940). The drug resistances of Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi varied, but their resistances to nalidixic acid were highest (50.22% and 85.33%) respectively. A certain amount of Salmonella typhi isolates showed the resistance to the 3rd generation cephalosporins. PFGE analysis showed divergent patterns of Salmonella typhi compared with limited patterns of Salmonella paratyphi A. <b>Conclusion:b> The epidemic level of typhoid and paratyphoid in China was relatively low, but the outbreak occurred occasionally. It is necessary to enhance the laboratory-based surveillance, particularly the capability of etiological diagnosis, outbreak investigation, response and antibiotic resistance monitoring, and conduct risk factor investigation in provinces with high incidences in recent years.
